SEDAII1A, Mo, April 16.r-About the cn.S thing Jim" 1oesn't do is go to school.
 Jim" is a dog-a 6-year-old Eng fish setter-owned by g. H. Van Arsdale, and for almost all of his life he has performed feats which onlookers have been unable to fathom.
 His forte is locating any object named, spelled or written by his master. He points out any one in a crowd specified by Van Arsdale the fattest man. person wear ing glasses, or a young woman in a blue coat.
 How it is Done He places a paw on any make of motor car on the street mentioned by his master Or take him to a forest, and he will find whatever kind of tree is called out.
 Those who watch the dog, exert themselves trying to detect what system, if any, Van Arsdale en- ploys. It is agreed he uses no in- Elections of the voice, but some con- lltend he occasionally stands in cer- tain positions or sometimes looks in the direction of the person to be pointed out.
 These theories, however, are al most invariably shattered at each performance. Van Arsdale gives the dog only simple orders and Jim seldom fails his master.
 The most popular theory is that the dog actually follows the thoughts of his masters mind, al- though there hardly is a way to prove it. Psychiatrists who have sought to establish this contention have given up.
 There Is No Trick Van Arsdale himself declares there is no trick to it. q don't know how Jim does it," he says. q don't concentrate on the person or object in question when give the order. I just think of it as you do the subject of your speech. There must be some sort of mental conveyance from me to Jim"
 The dogs general behavior is in keeping with his sagacity. He never associates with other dogs, will not perform ordinary dog tricks, and is indifferent to atten- tion or orders of all but his master
 Those who have seen Jim accept him as fact but those who have not remain skeptical. It is difficult to convince them of his prowess Even the screen failed in this.
 A film corporation took 1,00C feet of film depicting Jim's per formance After careful study it was decided to Shelve it because You can't screen an intelligent dog like you can stunt dog"
