sAeAclrY OF IAN. ARIzoNA- BOG

A correspondent sends the following in
teresting bit of testimony to Harper's
Weekly: "In connection with the Animal
Controversy being discussed by the pron-
inent naturalists and nature writer's of
the country, I would like to cite the fol-
lowing case in support of DR.. Hornaday's
belief in the reasoning powers of animals
that they do reason from cause to effect.
'Wil,iam Roberts, who drives the stage
from here to Quartzite, has dog who
accompanies him on his trips. When the
dog gets tired of running along beside the
stage he jumps into the stage between
the seats. When the stage is moving
slowly, he jumps into the stage from the
side just clearing the rear wheel, but
when the stage is moving swiftly he
jumps from a position little in the rear
of the Wheel alights on the rear wheel,
and the momentum throws him into the
stage. 1t surely was not instinct or a
natural impulse that led the dog to jump
on to the swiftly moving wheel. But
when we think of the little we know of
the workings of the human brain. is 1t not
too much to presume to analyze that Of an
animal?'
Los Angeles herald., 1907-08-25

Many hunters would set the kit fox or
swift above the greyhound, especially for
a short race, but have had no personal
experience with the species in a chase.
The little prairie cottontail can, believe,
get away from the swift in a hundred
yard dash; they cannot keep it up for
long, but their initial velocity is incred-
ible, and battles the eye. Not a leg,
not rabbit is to be seen; nothing but
a white streak across the prairie, till 1t
promptly disappears In some burrow.
What actually counts in the race is, as
usual, the trif1e more speed that each
animal can command.
For example, the gray wolf makes $50
yards to the minute and the coyote about
700. But that fifty yards makes all the
difference between living and dying. That
fifty yards margin is probably the foot
hold on which the whole coyote race has
been built up.
1t is well known principle that the
special development of an animal Is its
most variable part. Thus the peculiar
bell in the throat of moose varies
enormously; the bill of the 1ong-biled
curlew the neck feather of the ruff, the
spots Of the ocelot the white bands of
the skunk, the horns of the elk, are so
varied that rarely two are found just
alike. Speed is one Of the peculiarities
of the coyote as 1t is of the greyhound,
and we must, therefore, look for great
variations of rate. I have selected an
average for my calculations, but there are
occasional individuals, coyotes of rare
gifts, whose speed and endurance would
put them very near the top of our scale.

cabin to the TO c'sle as it does from the
fo'c'sle to the cabin, and when the black
gang hear that their unpopular chief
engineer has been ordered by the skipper
to get the ship to such and such a port
at such and such time they just catch
one another's eyes. and the ship doesn't
get to that port at that time, or any
thing like 1t.
1t would make no difference if the chief
engineer were to stand watch in the fire
rooms for twenty-four hours at stretch.
The steam registers wouldn't take any
upward leaps on account of his presence.
The assistant engineers also stand in
need of the good will of the black gang
On ships attached to which there have
been two engineers, one of them liked
and the other of them out of favor with
the black gang. it has frequently been
observed that the speed of the ship dur
ing the watches of the disliked officer
has fallen short by whole knots of the
speed got out of the engineer by his
fellow assistant engineer.
And so 1t goes. Men on board ship are
human as well as those on dry land. A
gang of railroad construction hands will
lay down on an unpopular foreman in
Just about the same way that a dis
affected gang of blue jackets will show
up an unpopular officer.
But laying down isn't mutiny.

SHALL HAT-LlFTINe GO?

Every time man lifts his hat to
woman nowadays he tells her she's an
angel and that he worships her. Not in
lovey-dovey, Laura Jean Libbey way,
but with deep reverence Still, as he
pays the same compliment to the lady
of the land and his laundress, the cere-
mony is as idle as the buttons on the
tails of his dress coat.
In the olden time, men took off their
hats when they passed a church or a
roadside shrine, or CROSS or when
they came to funeral procession.
Then, when they met a woman they
wished to honor the hat was removed,
which implied See, I raise my hat to
you as I would to sacred one"
The custom has so far departed from
it's first significance that certain for
eigners wish to wipe 1t out altogether.
Count Johann Harrach, head of the Be-
hemian aristocracy, and a very wealthy
glass manufactures, is organizing a So
ciety for it's abolition. The count and
his supporters declare that the lifting
of the hat is unsanitary, particularly in
winter, when 1t produces colds, neural
gia, influenza and other disagreeable
ailments Some of the frugal
argue, also, that the practice wears out
the brims of hats too fast If one has a
large feminine acquaintance. To avoid
all these evils, the military salute is to
be subs tituted,
Women will scott at this movement,
but men will see wisdom in 1t. If a
branch of the society were started in
this country 1t would have many fol-
lowers Count Harrach is going about
the matter in the right way. His cru

Inn PURSUIT. OF PEACE

Mr. Stead is very greatly disgusted
with the position taken at the peace
conference at The Hague by the rep
resentatives of Great Britain, and, as is
his habit when great states do not go
his way, he shouts his disapproval to
the patient world. But, so far as we
can see, Great Britain is all right on
the peace questi She launched the
Bellerophon last Saturday afternoon
1850 ton battleship of the Dread
nought class-and expects to launch
the Temeraire, another fighting ship of
the same~quality, some time in August.
That old mischief-maker. My Lord
Hypocrisy, may be lurking somewhere
in this business; but 1t is plain enough
that the real British government is
going straight ahead in pursuit of
peace on the old-fashioned lines.-Con-

WHEN 4 AM DEAD

When am dead, and nerveless hands have
thrust
My body downward into careless dust;

My spirit priGoned in the sunless mold
Some subtle memory of you would be
resurrection of the life OF me.
Yea, would be, because love you so,
The speechless spirit Of all things that grow.
You could not touch flower but 1t would be
Like caress upon the cheek of me.
would be patient In the common grass,
That might feel your football should you
pass.
would be kind rain and pure as dew,
a loving spirit round the life of YOU
When your soft cheeks by perfumed winds are

Speed Depends on Popularity
A crime of this sort has never been
actually fastened upon an enlisted man
In the engineers department of an Amer
lean warship, but it is a matter of COM
mon knowledge in the navy that those
chief engineers who are unpopular with
the men under them have the most
trouble with the machinery and boilers of
their ships and some of these disliked
chiefs have to use a great deal of paper
and ink in explaining to the department

rated man as coal HEAVIER to get
his chief engineer tangled up with a court

Moreover, it often happens that an I'M

work hard enough, but they don't get
the revolutions out of the propellers.
