breaths. Then they would abandon the
beaten tracks and start running through
the brush. Sometimes they would run for
a mile and half to two miles, and could
not be stopped by the drivers, their course
invariably leading to a pond or spring
hitherto unknown.
In France the experiments were made on
a water rat. First its eyes were blinded by
a bandage, and then it was placed on turn
table, which was whirled round till all sense
of direction must have been obliterated.
Upon being released, without moments
hesitation it started directly for the pond,
several hundred yards distant.
Frogs and toads were taken to distance
of three or four miles from water and turned
loose 1t seemed to take them only a few
seconds to locate the water. One old blind
toad showed the instinct in the same degree
as the others.
Among the subjects of investigation is
the sight Of birds and the ho1ning instincts
of the carrier pigeon. Many members OF
the institution are inclined to consider this
a phenomenon of far sight. They have been
taking by triangulation the height to which
birds soar, and from that figuring out the
radius of vision they attain. \ bird that
reaches a height Of eight hundred yards can
see objects more than sixty miles distant,
and that they are keen sighted enough to
recognize them cannot be doubted. At
three miles a vulture can descry the carcass
of a kid hung on pole.- Edacn 1drriSSe

THE French possess a curious institution
! in the form of an institute of geological
psychology, established on a farm near
Paris.
This station comprises meadows and
barnyards, stretch of forest, and large
pond stocked with fish. Then, too, there
are spacious buildings, including modern
stables, riding school, stalls for isolating
animals under special observation, an aqua
rum, and a laboratory. \ dovecote IS
placed upon the roof of the main building.
As evidencing the desire of the French
naturalists to study the habits of living
creatures under natural conditions, it may
be mentioned that complete diving appa-
ratus has been provided, in which observers
may descend to the bottom of the pond.
There they may remain for hours, until the
fish become accustomed to their presence,
and follow their natural impulses IN playing
and feeding. The under water stude1lC IS
thus enabled to note their habits at first
hand.
The other extreme of observation is the
construction of sheltered platforms in the
branches of trees, where students sit through
out the night armed with electric flashlights
to watch the doings of owls, bats, and noe
tlirnal insects.
1t would appear that an important con-
cluS1on reached by the students Is lndt
some animals possess special sense whereby
they can detect the presence of water even
though they cannot see it. The expert
ments were undertaken at the suggestion Of
an Australian, who addressed the institution
with reference to his experiences with sheep
and cattle when being driven across country.
In place where the presence Of water was
wholly unexpected the Australian noted some
curious facts. The leading animals would
suddenly lift their heads and draw long

specific gravity Of the sulphur by squirting
air into it and making it frothy. The hot
water pipe kept it molten. So third pipe
was run down this time a pipe one inch in
diameter), alongside the three-inch pipe. 1t
conveyed air under pressure to the molten
sulphur, which whipped it into cream
and up came the sulphur! The battery OF
boilers and the compressed air plant turned
the hole in the ground into gusher that gave
forth molten metal worth twenty-one dol
lars ton Furthermore, it was found to be
ninety per cent. pure against the ninety
per cent. article that had been exported from
the island Of Sicily for hundred years.
TT was not until FIVE years ago that the
Louisiana sulphur miners began produc-
ing sulphur on big scale. The United States
uses two hundred thousand long tons an
nually in manufactures, sulphur being the
foundation of the rubber industry.
The rubber industry started a long time
ago, when Goodyear accidentally dropped
little wad of gum mixed with sulphur on a
hot stove, and discovered vulcanite Up to
1907 this country produced less than one per
cent. OF its own sulphur. BY the end of the
following year the Louisiana mines-whose
depths no man had ever seen, or probably
would severe producing all the sulphur
for the domestic market. In another year
we were exporting, and now we are supplying
Europe, which takes to the ninety-nine per
cent quality in preference to the ninety per
cent article produced by the Woodworking
VOLCANOES of Sicily.
A sulphur we'll keeps on producing until
the blast of superheated water and steam
has scooped out hole from fifty to a hun
dred feet in diameter round the lower end
of the pipe. Sometimes the output from
single well has touched four hundred tons
day. and several wells have produced fifty
thousand tons of the pure article. As soon
as one we'll is exhausted another hole is
tapped in the earth, and the steam and COM
pressed air start in again.
The net result of scooping out holes
thousand or so feet below the surface of the
earth has been a settling at the top. Land
has dropped as much as thirty feet in some
instances, and heavy fills have been made
necessary.
Now similar stratum of pure sulphur has
been found eight hundred feet below the
surface at the mouth of the Brazos River.
The supply seems inexhaustible. and the
process of blowing it out of the earth is SO
simple that the Rockefellers and Stillmans
and others in the enterprise decided to start
in right with an up-to-date town as the seat
of the industry.
