Dog Obeys Phone CnII.

Can a dog understand what is said
over the telephOne?" This question can
be answered In the affirmative by at
least one family i'm Essex county, accord
ing to the story told by the dogs owner.
The dog, Gordon setter is owned by DR..
AXel Wilberg, a veterinarian OF Clinton,
N. j., and is named Sven.
The dog. with its master, had made sew
eral visits to a very sick horse belonging
to William Van der Woert Of West Cald-
well recently, sometimes visiting the ami
NAL two or three times day.
The animal took a bad turn yesterday
and the owner called up tho doctors Of
flee on the telephone. Mrs. weiberE
answered the telephone and received the
message. She told NJ Van der woert
that her husband had driven over to the
postoffieo and would return soon.
Before Mrs. Weiberg had hung up the
receiver the dog seized the doctors medi.

MIND BLANK, READS LATIN
Prof Harrington, His Mind Gone,
Develops Fondness for
the Classics.

The faculties OF Prof Mark w. Har-
rington, once head Of the weather bur
eau, college professor and an astronomer
Of note, are not all In allegiance, as the
fact that he is sim In the New Jersey
State Hospital for the Insane at Morris
Plains and does not know who he Is
might Indicate
Recently Harrington, who insists that
he isn't Harrington, has developed a
great fondness for the Latin classics, and
asked that they be brought to him. The
medical authorities at the hospital said
that Harrington showed great familiar
ity with Horace, Cicero, Virgil Piiny and
all other Latin authors that the doctors
were able to find. He reads them readily
and seems to remember them Just as he
knows all OF the stars that he sees at
night from the window Of his bedroom.
While this new fondness for the classics
shows that his mind In some phases is
still very active, his relatives have prae-
ueally given up the new-found hope that
Harrington would ultimately come to
himself and take his rightful place In the
world. Harrington disappeared from his
home in Mount Vernon, N, ~. In 1893. He
went out one evening, saying that he was
going TO New York to a dinner.
In 1907 Harrington was found wander
ing dazed in Trenton, n. j., aud was
sent 10 the state hospital. In 1905 his son
read OF an unknown patient in the insane
Institution who seemed TO be very learned,
but who didn't know who he was. The
son took the mother there. and she reeog-
mixed Harrington. Harrington insisted
that he was John Doe and had never
heard OF Harrington. John Doe Sth was
the name the hospital had given him
when no was sent there.
