balling in that, to Iunish the bodies of

reshets In rivers, flooding by sea, out,
merging of coasts and shores, earth
quakes, cyclones and other such dis
turbances as this. Ten millions of
people in China are destroyed by a
mighty river bursting its banks and
flooding fifty thousand square miles of
territory. Germany from the WVt'er
to the Nieman has been subjected to
disastrous floods that overwhelmed
towns, submerged hundreds of square
miles and even threatened to carry the
North and Baltic seas to the border o
Bavaria and Bohemia. The whole
world has been the spirt of floods and

,rlE SENSES OF ANIMALS.
gS Jobs Lubbek's Blask Poodle "Tm."
Boees' easlbhlty to aesod.
Sir John Lubbock recently delivered a
lecture to the members of the Edinburgh
Philosophical institute on "The Sense and
Senses of Animals," in the course of
which he said that there had been so
many important recent works published
relating to his subject that he thought it
would be more interesting were he to
deal, for the most part, with his own
observations. Different ideas prevailed
regarding the question of the intelligence
of animals. Some people regarded a dog
as an animal almost as wise and clever as
themselves: but, on asking them if they
thought a dog could realize that two and
two made four, he generally found a good
deal of doubt on that point.
Sir John Lubbock then described the
system which he had adopted in the
training of his own black poodle dog,
"Van." He had placed two pieces of
cardboard, on one of which was printed
in large letters the word "food," the
othbr being blank, on *wo saucers. In
one of the saucers was food, and the card
with the word upon it. In the other,
"he blank card and no food. In about
ten days the dog began to distinguish the
card with the letters from the plain card,
and would go at once to the printed one.
The lecturer then related in some detail
his successful efforts in inducing the dog
to bring him the proper card when he
wanted food, in teaching him to know
other cards containing the words "out,"
"tea," "bone," "water." On bringing
the card marked "out" he would rush
to the door. The cards were not put in
the same places, but in different posi
tions: and in order that the dog might
not be guided by scent, other cards with
the same nmarkings were used.
Ou uOne WHO saw amun oon Gown Ws
row of cards, and pick out the one
wanted. could doubt that he sought a
particular card for a particular object.
He had found, at the end of three
months' experiments, that ho could not
get the dog to realize the difference oi
colors, and it was just possible that the
dog might be color blind. He had also
failed to get the dog to distinguish
among one, two, three, or four broad
bands upon the cards. In order to
ascertain if bees were sensible to sounds
he had placed some honey on a musical
box on his lawn. The box played fao
ten dare without stopping, and then he
removed it to a window sill on the first
door of hi house. Not g bee came to it.
H- again placed it on the lawn, and they
again returned to the honey. He next
brought it into the drawing room on the
ground floor, about ten yards from ith
former position, but they did not follow;
but on his bringing two or three bees
into the house and putting them on the
honey, they began to feed. and, flying
of, returned with their companions. It
seemed as if they did not hear the tune.
Regarding the old ides that bees would
not swarm unless they were "tanged"
by the creation of sounds, he was under
the impression that it was the ",over
tones" which the insects heard, and
which were inaudible to our ears. The
sounds were so low as to be beyond our
range of hearing. Man, be said, had
fire senses, and fancied that no others
were pthsible; but it was obvious that
we could not measure the infinite by our
own narrow limitations. Even within
the penetration of our own senses there
mjght be endless sounds which we cguld
not hear, and colors of which we have
no conception. There was also the other
question still remaining for solution. that
the familiar world which surrounded .s
might be a different place altogether for
other animal;, in which there was musto
we could not hear, colors we could not
see, and sensations which we could not
conceive. The pursuit of such studies
gave a clew to senses and perceptions of
which we had no conception -Mec~an

The expense in light, fuel, etc., which
courtship brings paterfamilias is a never
wrorn out joke with our newspapers.

would welcome the iutro4luction of a

armed with a long candle. If his suit is
agreeable to the lady and her family, the
mother lights the candle brought, sticks
a pin in it to indicate how long a time
the young people are allowed to devote to
wooing this time, and leaves them alone.
When the candle has burned down to
the pin she returns and the young man
must withdraw. The same candle is
brought out at subaequent viaiat and
burned by installments, and when it is
entirely consumed, the girl is e pected to
have her tr,,useau in readiness for the
