New Type OF Station Construction.

A new type of station construction
has been adopted by the Lehigh
Valley railroad. The company has
built a number of passenger stations
entirely of terra Gotta, to make them
absolutely safe from fire. The terra
Gotta is not visible in the completed
structure. 1t is in the form of hol-
low blocks, which are covered by
plaster inside the building and by
stucco outside. The fireproof quail
ties of the material were established
by severe tests. An additional ad-
vantage, due to the fact that the
dead air" spaces make the blocks
non-conductors of heat, is that the
stations are warmer in winter and
cooler in summer than If they were
of wood or brick. The Lehigh Valley
has built several of these new-style
stations already, and will probably
build more next year.

DR.. w. n. FURNESS SAYS
CHlMpAN2EES THINK.
Psychologists Experiments Give Him
Faith In Their Power to Reason.

DR.. William Ii. Furness, a psycholo-
gist of Wallingford. Pa, after several
years of work has succeeded in edu
eating two chimpanzees to a point
where, he declares. they have proved
they have reasoning powers.
His experiments, he says, have CON
elusively demonstrated that chimpan
zees are capable of discriminating be
tween objects and that the lower ami
mails when properly trained utilize the
functions of brain and really think.
When the chimpanEees had attained
perfection IN mimicry gradual devia
ton was made TO other lines in order
to determine their reasoning powers.
At this point the animals pass from
those of merely the animal into the
near realm of the human.
Boards were placed in the cages hav.
ing a large square opening and large
holes. The animals were given ball
and square piece Of wood, both OF
which exactly fitted openings in the
board The careful scrutiny of the
instructors saw that the animals eX
amined the block and ball and pound
ed them against the board in high glee.
After few days one of the chimpan-
zees looked intently at the square open
ing III the board and endeavored to
force the ball through it The open
ing was too small to allow its passage,
and the chimpanzee then picked up the
square block and pushed it through.
Later both animals, DIR. Furness says,
by the slow process Of pure reason
without the slightest assistance or his
part, learned that only the ball would
fit into the circle and only the block
would pass through the square.
An extension of the experiment has
been made during the past two years,
and 1t has been learned that the chin
panzees will now differentiate any size
or shape

on Dec. 26, 1911, at his home in
Bethel township, Sullivan county, n.
Y, in the 18th years of his age. De-
ceased was born in that township on
March 29, 1886, and had spent near
ly all of his life there, excepting

ties were strong, and about four
years ago he returned to the scenes
of his boyhoOd days.
The Pintler house near Bethel,
which was famous as a stopping place
for man or beast during the old stag
ing days, was conducted by the sub
ject of this sketch and his sisters for
2S years. The parents of the de-
ceased, George and Martha Pintler,
settled there when they moved from
