CONVERSE WITH THEIR TAILS
Student OF Natural History Writes Of
His Observations of Dogs and
Other Animals.

Any who have seen pack Of
wolves in full cry must have noticed
the eager waving of their tails. evil
IDENTITY to enable the pack to keep to-
gether, and possibly for purposes Of
mutual encouragement. Fire a bullet
into one of the leaders and see how
quickly all the flags are dropped, and
the creatures get out Of the way, each
for himself. If you notice, the fox,
who has magnificent tail, does not
raise it alOft at all. He is a solitary
hunter and uses his brush chiefly for
muff1er, to keep his feet and nose
warm. But your dog does a good
deal Of his talking with his tail. You
can follow his very thoughts-dogs do
think, you know by watching his
tail. Just as / have carried On long
and useful conversations with occa-
Si0nal Indians of strange tongues by
observing the movements Of face,
shoulders and hands. / have an idea
that animals were intended to COM
municate with each other mainly by
using their tails. The vertebrae
through which the brain projects
much of it's direction and knowledge
extends to the tip Of the tail. The
tail is, therefore, in direct and con-
slant contact with the. controlling
power of the animal.-MoDtreal Fam

as undelivered to me in order that

Where the Fish Swarm.

There are rich fishing banks Of huge
extent around Iceland, but the greatest
are around Newfoundland, and are sc
rich that fishing vessels congregate
there from America and France, as
we'll as Great Britain.
These banks are very interesting, for
they are shadows which overhang the
abysmal depths which fall quite close
by to as much as 1000 fathomS, or
more than four miles sheer depth.
There are fine banks all along the
Greenland coast, and plenty of fish o8
them. But here TRAVELLING is impossible;
for the icebergs have covered the bot
