EDUCATED HORSES.
Savants Discuss Their Ability to
Work Out Sums.
ON the London News.

From the London News
discussion of a peculiarly interesting
character took place at a recent meeting
of the French Philosophical Society. This
society has greatly interested itself in the
educated horses of Elberfeld.' The ami
mails are the property of NJ. krall. and
he has taught them reading. writing and
arithmetic claims to have done so.
The horses can extract the square and
cube roots of numbers. performing the
operation of multiplication. addition and
subtraction which these involve.
The French society has endeavored to
solve the problem presented 10y these re-
markable quadrupeds. and invited VI. Cla-
parde. the distinguished professor of psy-
cholooy at the University of Geneva. to
address them on the subject.
NJ Clapardc said that since he had seen
the horses two Italian savants had OBJ
tanned a correct answer from them at a
time when their trainer was absent. No
hypothesis. he went on. can satisfactorilN
explain the extraordinary fact, Of which
he had been a witness. Even IL there

The Laughing Brook was merry.
And so am L." cried Jerry.
Grandfather Frog said he was. too.
And Spotty was. as all folks knew.

The trees stood with wet feet where
just little while before had been the
strange pond in the Green Forest, the
pond made BY the dam Of Paddy the
Beaver. In the dam was a great hole
made by Paddy himself Through the
Green Forest rang the laughter of the
Laughing Brook. for once more the water
ran deep between its banks And in the
hearts of Grandfather Frog and Jerry
Muskrat and Spotty the Turtle was
laughter. for now the Smiling Pool would
smile once more and they could 90 home
in peace and happiness. And there was
one more who laughed. Who was it?
Why, Paddy the Beaver. to be sure, and
his was the best laugh Of all, for it was
because he had brought happiness to
others.
You beat me up here to the dam, but
you won't beat me back to the Smiling
Pool cried Jerry Muskrat to Spotty the
Turtle
Spotty laughed good naturally. You'd
better not stop to eat or play or sleep
on the way. them said he. for 1 shall
keep right on going all the time. I've
found that is the only way to get any
where
Let US all go down together" said
Grandfather Frog. We can help each
other over the bad places
Jerry Muskrat laughed until he had
to hold his sides at the very thought of
Grandfather Frog or Spotty the Turtle
being able to help him. but he is very
good-natured, and so he agreed that they
should all go down together. Paddy the
Beaver said that he would so, too; so
off the four started-Jerry Muskrat and
Paddy the Beaver swimming side by
side. and behind them Grandfather Frog
and Spotty the Turtle. Now, Spotty the
Turtle is a very slow traveller on land,
but in the water Spotty is not SO SLOW In
fact it was not long before Grandfather
Frog found that he was the one who
could not keep up. You see. while he
is great diver and can swim fast for
a short distance, he is soon tired out.
Pretty soon he was putting and blowing
and dropping farther and farther behind.
BY and by Spotty the Turtle looked back
There Grandfather Frog just
tumbling head first over a little water
fall. He came up choking and gasping
and kicking his long legs very feebly
Spotty climbed out on rock and waited
He helped Grandfather Frog out beside
him. and when Grandfather Frog had
once more gotten his breath. what do
YOU think Spotty did? Why, he took
Grandfather Frog right on his back and
started on again.
Now. Jerry Muskrat and Paddy the
Beaver. being great swimmers, We're soon
out Of sight. All at once Jerry remem-
bered that they had agreed to all go
down together, and down in his heart
he felt a little bit mean when he looked
for Grandfather Frog and Spotty the
Turtle and could see nothing OF them.
SO he and Paddy sat down to wait. After
what seemed long time they saw some
thing queer bobbing along in the water.
It's Grandfather Frog cried Paddy
the Beaver.
No; it's Spotty the Turtle said Jerry
Muskrat.
Its both" replied Paddy, beginning to
laugh.

More About Chicks.

Diseases among poultry are easily
spread. Contaminated ground does it.
Chicks usually develop gapes from such
ground. And they develop worms
disease that does not yield particularly
well to treatment. for the trouble is not
always plain to the chick raiser.
New ground. or ground that has been
Well treated with lime. is the best way
to start chicks on their road to ma
turity. 1t is not always possible to get
new ground for chicks because many OF
the small poultry raisers have limited
space. But the ground can be purified
and should be. 1t should be dug up
and treated. not particularly deep. be-
fore the chicks are allowed to run on 1t.
OF course, the trouble with gapes is
unusual when a breeder has plenty of
room and starts his chicks along on
ground that had been under cultivation
the year before.
When chicks are seen standing around

FOSSIL Of AN E[AND
FOUND At CUMBERLAND
Scientists Had Not Known
Animal Ever Existed on
American Continent.

Prof. Gidley of the National Museum
has just sent back from the big fossil de-
post discovered near Cumberland an eX-
ceptionally large and varied collection of
prehistoric remains. including Gland.
an entirely new species among American
fossils. The animal is closely allied to
the Gland now living in Africa. south of
the Sahara, but it was not known before
to psychologists that the Gland ever had
existed on this continent.
Travellers who pass through prosaic
railroad cut near Cumberland probably
seldom realize that they are passing
through one of the rarest deposits of
fossils in the United States. but this is
proving to be the case. The big field is
simply a railroad cut. 1t was located by
the Smithsonian about year ago.

1t has been described as a fossile cave
but it is not really cave at all. The

Mr.. Gidley has been sent there to carry
further the investigation first made. He
has sent back to the National Museum
on the present trip representatives Of
twenty-five genera that he has dug out.
There may be more rare finds. but the
rareSt up to date is the Gland. Beside
this there are porcupines. wolves, an
extinct bear. decidedly different from the
present black bear of that region and
fragments of other animals, some of
which also may prove new.
