ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE
The Diffcrenco Dowcn Instinct and
Reasoning Power
Most animals have little self con
sciousness and their reasoning powers
at best are of a low order but In kind
at least the nowers are not different
from reason In man A horse reaches
over the fence to be company to an
other This is Instinct When It lets
down the bars with its teeth that is
reason When a dog llnds Us way
home at night by the sense of smell
this may be Instinct when he drags a
stranger to hi wounded master that
is reason When a jack rabbit leaps
over a bush to escape a dog or runs in
a circle before a coyote or when it
lies Hat In the grass as a round ball of
gray Indistinguishable from grass
this is Instinct Hut the same animal
is capable of reason that is of a dis
tinct choice among lines of action sot
long ago a rabbit came bounding across
the university campus at Palo Alto
As it passed a corner it suddenly faced
two hunting dogs running side by side
toward it It had the choice of turn
ing back Its first instinct but a dan
gerous one of leaping over the dogs
or of lying on the ground It chose
none of these and its choice was In
stantaneous It ceased leaping ran
low and went between the dogs just
as they were in the act of seizing it
and the surprise of the dogs as they
stopped and tried to hurry around was
the same feeling that a man would
have in like circumstances Evolu

PLANT ODDITIES
Flowers That Possess Eyes Though -
They May Not See
The night hath a thousand eyes but
a nasturtium leaf has more Holding
up his hand in front of a desert shrub
an experimenter has taken a micro
photograph showing half a dozen dis
tinct images of his fingers formed by
the eyes of the plant Many common
garden and wild flowers the nastur
tium begonia clover wood sorrel and
bluebell among others possess eyes
situated oil their leaves They are mi
nute protuberances filled with a trans
parent gummy matter which focuses
the rays of light on to a sensitive patch
of tissue at the back of it in a similar
manner to that in -which the eyes of an
animal do their work A common nas
turtium plant has thousands of such
eyelets on its leaves forming thou
sands of minute images of the objects
around them But though a plant may
have eyes it does not follow that it
sees It is not yet known if the sense
impressions are telegraphed to some
central nerve exchange corresponding
to the brain of the animal In addition
to these light sense organs many plants
possess a touch of sensitiveness and a
response to electric stimuli that show
further resemblance to the animal
world while ferns mosses and sea
wceds in an early stage of their ex
istence are capable of actually swim
ming through water Chicago Tribune
Tho Lady In tho Moon
An astronomer writer of the
lady in the mcou It is a very beau
tiful face seen in profile and uplifted
as though in proud disdain of things
terrestrial The curve of tho throat is
exquisite and indeed the entire outline
is marvelously lifelike The moon
lady may best be observed through a
small opera glass when our satellite is
at half At that time the tip of the
chin about touches the terminator
that is the dividing Hue between the
light and dark portions of the lunar
surface Most people can recognize
the man in the moon Well the hair
of the lady in which I can always fan
cy I see a spray of orange blossom
forms the mans left eye the nose and
mouth his nose and the chin and
throat the mans mouth
An Unhappy Comparison
A country minister had just received
his first call to the charge of a small
church and his wife of course was
highly excited so much so that she
wns ohlicrod to tell everybody of the
good news
One day she met a farmers wife and
began the conversation
Do you know Mrs Close she said
my husband has just secured the in
cumbency of a church and I cant tell
you how delighted I am I
Yes replied the sympathetic old
lady I quite understand your feel
ings I felt just that way when our
pig took the gold medal at the cattle

STAGE FRIGHT
Actors Have Beon Known to Dio From
tho Malady
Perhtips the most terrible malady
which can attack the actor in the
course of his performance in the pe
culiar disease known as stage fright
Through its e il effects strong men and
women have been known to faint
velt started on his hunting trip in the hrQlll lown nml lo mnuy other quee
things and there are even on record
several cases of people who have died
through this horrible seizure
Some years ago a young novice who
was to appear for the first time ar
rived at the Hieater very white ami
shaky TJranty being given him lie
appeared sllghlly belter but no sooner
had he set his- foot on the stage than
he clapped his hand to his heart with
a low cry an I fell down dead The I
overwhelming sensation induced byj
stage fright had attacked his hear I
nml his theatrical career ended thua
even at Its beginning j
Quite as ghastly was the case of the i
young amatcu actress who strangely
enough had never experienced staf j
fright when playing with her fellov I
amateurs but who was seized with the
attack on makng her first professional
appearance She went through tho
scene aided bj the prompter her eyes
glazed her hands rigid and when tho
exit came it proved her exit from lifes
stage as well its the mimic boards for
she staggered to her dressing room and
fell iuto a com itose state from which
she never recovered
rerhaps however the most peculiar
Instance of all was that of the veteran
performer who had gone through thirty
years of stage work without experienc
ing this malady One night however
he confided to a fellow player that a
quite unaccountable nervousness had
GutPenly ta en hold of iiim ai 1 that he
did not think he could ever act again
Ills comrade laughed at the notion
and urged him to go on as usual but
his astonishment may well be conceiv
ed when the poor old player went on
the stage and after making several
vain efforts to speak fell back and ex
pired The doctor who made the post
mortem examination stated that death
was due to failure of the hearts action
evidently induced by the presence of
an attack of stage fright Pearsons

TYBURN TREE
Ferrers Tragic Journey
Famous Old Gallows
Park lane was Tyburn lane
to tho
and
it
seems as if th gallows described in
an old document as movable at one
time stood at its east corner It was
there the ferocious Lord Ferrers was
hung in 1TC0 for murdering his serv
ant Horace Walpoles words paint
tho picture well He shamed heroes
He bore the solemnity of a pompons
and tedious piocession of above two
hoiuv from tho Tower to Tyburn with
as much tranquillity as if he were only
going to his own burial not to his own
execution And when one of the
dragoons of the procession was thrown
from Ids horse Lord Ferrcs expressed
much concern Mid said I hope there
will bo no death today but mine
On went the procession with a mob
about it sufficient to make its progress
slow and laborious Small wonder that
the age of Thackeray with Thack
erays help set up its scaffolds within
foul- high Avails Asking for drink
Lord Ferrers -was refused for said the
sheriff late regulations enjoined aim a
not to let prisoners drink while pass-
ing from tue piace 01 imprison uiuul lu
that of execution great indecencies
having been committed by the drunk
enness of the criminals in the hour of
execution And though said he my
lord I might think myself excusable
in overlooking this order out of regard
to your lordships rank yet there is an
other reason Avhich I am sure will
weigh with you your lordship is sen
sible of the greatness of the crowd
-we must draw up at some tavern the
confluence would be so great that it
-would delay the expedition which
your lordship seems so much to de
sire But decency so often paraded
by those who outrage it ended with
the murderers death The execution
ers fought for the rope and the one
who lost it cried the greatest tragedy
to his thinking of the day London

A Curious Anomaly
Until a few years ago the Philippine
Islanders held their Sunday on the day
which was Monday to the inhabitants
of the neighboring island of Borneo
This curious anomaly arose from the
historic fact that the Philippines were
discovered by Spanish voyagers com
ing from the east round Cape Horn
while Borneo was discovered by Por
tuguese coming from the west and sail
ors lose or gain a day according to
their direction in crossing the Pacific
