Emotions in Animals.

SCIENTISTS assure US that the
question of what is meant bv
consciousness in animals is one of ex-
treme difficulty. Most of us, prob
ably without much reflection, are will
hing TO infer consciousness when We
see any living things exhibiting be-
havior that in ourselves would be as
sociated with consciousness.
Some years ago an investigator
placed single elled animals in a drop
of water under the microscope. They
were swimming actively when the in
vestlgator touched the surface with
red hot needle. One of the ami
malculae was killed and soon a clear
space was formed around the corpse.
An lima aglnative commentator called
this case of nekrophobia, suggesting
that these minute creatures feared
death. Later workers showed that q
dead piece of protoplasm exuded into
the water some substance different
from the natural reaction of living
protoplasm.
Most animals shrink or struggle
when they come in contact with con-
ditions that are unfavorable, behav-
ing precisely as human beings do
when they feel discomfort or pain.
In many cases, before physical pain
or discomfort can actually be felt, the
higher animals show the symptoms
that in our case we associate with
fear. But do they feel pain, do they
remember pain and consequently ex-
perience fear?
feel, TO remember and to dread pain
is associated with the activity of the
cerebral hemiSpheres of the brain, and
II these be drugged we are uncon-
sclous. a frog whose cerebral hem
ispheres are destroyed, if placed in
hot water, will make a sudden and
violent effort to escape. We our
selves, under a light anaesthesia that
prevents consciousness, will struggle
Violently to avoid pain. 1t certainly
seems more probable that conscious
ness is something that may be added
TO the behavior of animals, not pres
ent at all in the lowest forms, and
coming in slowly and gradually as the
scale of life is ascended.
The supposed fear of death is one
OF the most salient instances of the
fashion in which we are inclined to
attribute our own sensations in ami
mals. At the ZOOS animals that are
Kept together often die, and there is
no instance on record in which lex
cept among carnivorous animals,
which sometimes devour dead COM
panlon1 an animal has shown the
shghtest interest or apparent disturb
ance at the presence of its dead COM
panion.
According to their individual dispo-
sltlon and habits animals react only

them and pain would have to be Sc

currency. some papers and a gold
scarf pin.
The papers furnished an address of
Anna Schreiber at Schwenkville, Pa.
who, when communicated with, gave
the address of Herman Schreiber in
Germany. A letter was subsequently
received from Schreiber Identifying
the articles and directing delivery to
his partner in New York. The queer
features of the case were that the
store in which the purse had been lost
was an entirely different one from
that given as the return address on
the parcel. and that the money origi-
nally lost had been in German marks
instead of the American currency
which was found.

last year the dead letter Office re-
ceived $4,000 from the sale of
orphaned packages which could

A Bird Wanderer.

FAR out to sea in the southern
latitudes Of the Indian Ocean lies
an uninhabited island. Ships passing
on their way from the United States
to Melbourne, Australia, will sail
quite near this lonely land and some
times anchor in Christmas Harbor. at
the northern end, for fresh supplies
of water. Here, if travellers visit it
at any time between October and Jan.
uary, they will see vast numbers of
the wandering albatross describing
graceful curves in the air or sweeping
down on the land where their curious
nests are placed.
The albatross, after all, loves home
and apparently has an excellent mem
ory, for after five months yoyaging
over untold leagues of oceans waste
1t always returns at the end Of that
time and occupies the same abode
year after year.
The nest made by this remarkable
bird is in the shape of a half-cone, two
feet high, made Of earth, and at the
top Is a shaIa2y cavity, in which the
mother alhatross lays one white egg
More than two months IS required to
hatch out the young, which at first
appears to be a ball of white silky
down. It's parents take turns in goAHs
to sea to capture squids and jelly fish
to feed the young squad, and when
partly grown it is left to care for itself
while the parent birds start out on a
long tour of wandering, but never, ex-
cept by accident visiting the Atlantic
or northern Pacific Oceans where 9TH
er species of this genus are found.
When the old birds return from
their voyaging the baby bird has
somehow managed to thrive and when
these old mariners again set sail, the
child of the previous year accompanies
and is, in turn, taught the mysteriaa

Contraband Articles in Queer DISCUSSES Caught by Ne

especially prolific Of mikes The
owners of such lists seldom attempt
to keep them current, although the
Post Office will furnish clerks to re
wise lists at A nominal charge of f5
cents an hour. Advertisers also often
fail to specify street addresses in their
advertisements with the result that
the postal clerks must give such cor
respondence special directory service.
A MOTHER source of trouble is that
letter writer's do not put a return
address on the envelopes. Should
the practice of doing so be universally
followed, the Dead Letter Office would
have to go out of existence, inasmuch
as very seldom does a letter with a
return address reach that Office More
than SO per cent Of the dead letters
contain no clue on the envelopes as to
the senders of the letters
There is also the matter of some
100000 letters that go into the mail
every year in perfectly blank enve-
lopes. The Washington office alone re-
ceives from 200 TO 500 such letters
day. One of the chief reasons for this
is that many people invariably seal
letter before writing the address on
the envelope and the unaddressed let
ter Is inadvertently dropped into the
mail box.
THE Post Office Department is not
perfect, declares Postmaster General
New in launching the better mailing
campaign. NO organization with
100000 employees (ha andling 5000. .O0N.-
600 pieces of mail annually could
possibly be perfect. Mistakes are

claims and complaints divulges that
in the vast ma jority of cases il is the
mailer rather than the postal clerk
who makes the error. We are going
to try to do better. We are striving
FOR that goal of perfection, and we
would like every one to cooperate
with us and help reduce the appalling
dead-letter revenue"
Here is the departments advice
which some time may mean money
to you:

Use strong cord and stout paper.
