DO ANIMALS REASON OR
FEEL HUMAN PROJECTION
paris Cor. Chicago News.

-
Prof. Ratchet Souplet, director of
he French Institute of Geological
Psychology, is not convinced that an
mails have reasoning powers. He
thinks it is the projection of the hui
man nerve fluid or explosion of human
will-power to which animals are more
sensitive than men, that produces
such phenomena as Herr Krall's
horse, Muhammed, in Elberfield, Ger
many, which extracts cube roots, and
Herr Mockeis dog, Rolf, in Mann
helm, Germany, which speaks by
means of tapping lot of letters with
his paws.
Reasoning animals says Prof.
Souplet in an article published, "are
as fashionable as were sympathetic
snails and tipping tables formerly.
Hardly week has passed in the last
six months without new discoveries
along this line. Respectable women
and grave men have brought to the
attention of this institute a cat that is
an astronomer, mule that is a moral
philosopher, mackerel that is q po-
litical economist, and multitude of
dogs and horses that calculate, solve
geOmetrical problems, compound
drugs, write plays and compose mu-
sic. These are the exact expressions
employed by our correspondents
Prof. Souplet expresses the theory
that animals have highly developed
senses capable of feeling the so-called
human nervous fluid, which already
has been Theoretically measured by
such eXperimenterS as Joire, Baraduc
Duchatel and Warcolier He cites
the example Of dog that is separated
from his master by a curtain and yet
hangs it's tail when the master pre-
tends madness, and wags it's tail when
the master pretends gladness. Hence
admitting that certain dogs and horses
are exceptionally intelligent, Prof
SOuplet expresses the belief that in
some way an impulse is unconscious
ly communicated to a horse or dog
indicating exactly when it is to stop
tapping it's foot, etc.
Electrical tricks" continues the
professor, "are employed in some cir.
cuses on fake" calculating animals
Wireless emissions of electricity ring
tiny bell hidden in a horses name
or ears or on a desk behind which
it stands, indicting to the animal to
stop whatever movement it has begun

FIFTEEN MILLIONS LOST YEARLY
Statistics Show Check Raisers and
Forgers Fleece Victims Out of I'm
mense Fortunes Annually.
Texas Bankers Journal.l

+ The latest statistics from the best
losses through altered checks and
drafts in 1911 amounted to $4,000
900, and is constantly on the increase.
At first reading these figures seem
almost incredulous; but statistics are
hard things to get around, and we are
brought face to face with a very Seri-
Gus condition.
To a carefully trained eye a forged
signature is easily detected in most
cases, though the fOrger sometimes
attains facilities for copying sigma
lures that are next to artistic How
ever, the most popular way among
crooks seems to be that Of securing,
through various ways, a check of
small amount with the genuine sigma
ture of a depositOr, and raising the
amount to fancy figure. The bank
er, after close scrutiny of the sigma
ture, pays the check, and within due
time-often two or three weeks-the
man. who originally signed a small
check finds that large one has been
paid, and the hard part of it is over
his own signature.
1t is much easier to raise a check
than most people imagine. 1t doesn't
require great skill to raise a check
from 81 to $40 or from SIS to $50. This
is true in almost any of the even null
+ tiples of five. Even when the face OF
the check cannot be changed by ad
ding prefixes of suffixes, the clever
/ crook simply grasses the writing with
an acid and fills in an amount to his
own liking. This is even done OF
! safety paper" which is supposed by
many to be proof against such tricks
| of crook. A case recently came tC
light in Texas where a check, writer
on safety paper" had been raised
from 5000 to 5000. A few slight
changes with pen and ink, with one
little acid change, accomplished the
trick.
i The cleverness of the check-raisins
crook is manifest by the fact that he
never campers with the signature, an(
that being genuine, raised checks are
often paid by bankers. 1t is very nee
essary that all people doing a. bank
ing business exercise all possible care
in writing their own checks, as il
nearly every case in which a check
raiser figures it is the individual Civ
ing the check, and not the bank
which sustainS the loss.
| The banking laws are such that the
man who draws a check is protected
only in the signature, and not the
body of the check. For instance, i
a check signed by William Morris TO-
SIS is raised to $500, and the signature
has not been altered, Mr.. Morris /:
the person who loses the $495, and no
the bank However, if the signature
has been changed and the bank pait
the money on the check then the banl
is liable.
So many cases of check raising
have come to light in Texas that thu
association detectives have asked thu
cooperation of all banks to stamp i
out. Banks can aid greatly by advis
ing and insisting on their depositor'
. using all precautions in writing thei
checks.

CAMINETTI ASSUMES
FULL RESPONSIBILITY
Commissioner General Says he
Granted Permission to Japanese
to Pass Through q. S.

Full responsibility for the granting OF
permission to $50 japanese to pass
through the United States in going from
one point in Mexico to another is as
sumed by Commissioner General Can't
netti of the bureau of immigration. In
a statement issued today he declared
that this practice has always existed
and that proper precautions are taken
to see that they leave at the stated
point of exit.
This privilege he says, lis always
granted, not by the Department of State;
but by the bureau of immigration of
the Department Of Labor. Requests for
such privilege. when coming through
diplomatic channels are first directed TO
the Department of State. as that de-
partment is the usual medium of COM
munication between foreign govern
ments and the United States. The State
Department, In turn, refers same to the
department dealing with the, subject
matter for proper action Such course
was pursued in this instance. On the
other hand. transportation companies
often seek transit privileges, dealing d.
rect with the bureau OF immigration.
Action on the request, whether coming
from foreign governments or from
transportation companies. is taken only
by the Department Of Labor, through
this bureau.
In the case of the application of the
Japanese ambassador, made on account
of the disturbed conditions in northern
Mexico, as Is usual in all such cases,
the request was made through the De-
partment of State to this bureau. The
latter. in accordance with the regular
and always existing practice, granted
the request taking the usual precaution
proper in such cases, and it alone is re-
sponsible for the issuance of the per-
init; in fact, no other department of the
government is authorized by law to act
upon same"
