HhOt6SSOh daCnet-SouQlet, d.
rector of the Institute Of AMI.
mai Psychology of France, the
most noted student OF living animals
in the world. has been collecting ev-
idence TO prove whether or not dogs
can reason
Professor Hachet-Souplet is con-
gincd from his studies that animals
have the same kind OF intelligence
as human beings. and that they can
reason.
He has devised instruments SINH.
lar to those used on men in the
psychological laboratories which
measure the intelligence OF dogs
the reaction time Of their various
faculties, their ability to count, and
so forth.
While the Professor does not con-
slider dogs the most intelligent OF
ell animals, he finds them the most
teachable. He has invited men and
women all over the world to send to
him careful statements Of acts by
dogs that might show reasoning
power. A comparison Of these state.
ments has confirmed his opinion
that they have genuine reasoning
power.
Mr.. Vlrgile Plechoyano, an engi-
neer living at Bucharest. the CAPT
tai Of Roumania, sent the following
statement:
Near me lived an Irish setter be-
longing to druggist in Academy
street. He spent his day in the
store, where he was petted by all
the customers. At certain hours
In the day he went out for a walk.
-Four o'clock was the time for his
afternoon excursion. At this hour
his admirers had formed the habit
Of buying him one OF those meat
cakes which we call a placinta, and
were sold at the the corner Of the
street.
very soon the dog learned to
carry the coin in his mouth, give
1t to the store-keeper himself, and
receive his cake in exchange. Az
ter that the druggists customers
enjoyed giving him the coin and
waiting while he went to fetch his
cake. One day the cake seller
thought 1t would be a good idea to
pocket the coin and drive the poor
dog away without giving him his
cake. The dog howled and protest
ed, but was finally driven away with,
OUT eettlnS what ne had paid for.
The next day he stopped In front of
the store within sight of the tray
on which the cakes were kept, and
placed his coin on the sidewalk in
sight OF the storekeeper. Then, I'm.
dicating With his nose what he
wanted. he kept his paw on the
coin until the cake had been deliv-
cred to him. His friends at the drug
store were in sight of the transac.
ticn and would not have allowed
him to be cheated. He continued
TINS performance up to the day OF
his lamented DEATH"
A great many anecdotes Indicate
that the dog has an accurate sense
OF time. Mr.. Morlet, Director Of the
French Society for'the Protection of
Animals, said: ~ was accustomed
to leave my Office at II o'clock every
morning to go to lunch. Ten min.
utes before the hour my dog Bob
always became excited and tried to
jump on table from which he could
see the door Of my office on tho
other side of the courtyard. AS he
was very small, he had difficulty in
getting on this table, and finally he

Garonne, sent the record OF re-
markable dog named Yappit: !.
"Yappit is a farmers dog. This
man was coming home from. the
market one day where he had sold
a number of cattle. Consequently
he was carrying with him large
sum Of money. At a certain spot
just as night was falling the dog
stopped, began to howl and refused
to go on. The owner, ,who had
passed on, called him and whistled
repeatedly. but the dog refused to
move. The farmer went on his way.
When he had entered the house he
put his hand in his pocket and
found that he had lost his purse

took lantern and started to go
over the. road. he had come, step by
step. When he had gone a long
way, he heard the barking of his
dog in the blackness of the night.
He went to the spot and there he
found Yappit with the lost purse
under his paws. still sitting at the
place where the farmer had left
him. The. dog had understood the
