PUZZLE FOR LOVERS OF DOG
Just How Did Terrier Know the Cor
rect Time, When the Clocks Had
Been Advanced

Perhaps because Of his power OF
speech, the parrot is usually regarded
as amazingly wise. But many dumb
creatures often display just as re-
markable intelligence.
Can a dog judge timer This is one
of the subjects upon which some light
is thrown in dogs, Birds and Others"
by III. J. Massingham.
A terrier had been in the habit OF
jumping on his masters bed and awak-
ening him each morning at seven
o'clock. When the clocks had been
advanced an hour for summer time,
the man was anxious to see what the
dog would do.
Next morning, as usual, the animal
jumped upon the bed. The clock was
at seven exactly, although really IL
was only six o'clock. Had the dog
counted the strokes of the clock when
it struck, or had he understood about
the clocks being put on?
