uralists and scientific men can
hardly understand is the Unborn IN
stinct that is found in all animal life.
Animals, birds and insects, are born
. with certain ideas of habit that are
reproduced at all times and seem never
TO change. For instance, the little Kit
ten will, without instruction, arch its
back upon the approach of danger and
lap its milk when hungry; one BIRD
will build a certain kind of nest year
after year, while another will make a
home of a very different character, and
some species. at stated seasons, Will
take migratory fights to other regions;
the young bee, on the day 1t leaves its
cell. will start to collect honey and
form it's hexagonal wax home, follow
ing the same rules as its p~rogenitors.
All this is done without experience or
teaching, and seems to be forced upon
them by some uncomfortable internal
impulse.
Many other examples could be given.
You have no doubt yourself seen a
young duck, fostered by a mother hen,
hurry away to the pond of water and
plunge contentedly in, while Mrs. Hen
views the scene with the utmost alarm.
You have watched the squirrel and the
ant toll hard and lay up stores for the
winter months. Even such a low form
of life as a jellyfish knows from in
stinct how to protect itself from
enemies and gain its own livelihood. A
sea turtle born far inland will hasten
with uncontl olable eagerness to the
seashore.
There is no doubt that some animals
can be trained and develop quite some
intelligence, for they possess a power
of acting freely under the influence of
but the handspring of their
life and actions is that u~ndetinable at
tribute called instinct.
