A Russian physician has been making some curious experiments to find out ho w far animals can count. He declares the crow can count up to 10 and is thereby superior in arithematic to certain Polynesian tribes of men who cannot get beyond five or six. The doctor had a dog, which was ac- customed to bury the bones it found, each one in a separate place in the gar- den. One day, wishing to test the ani~ mal‘s power of counting, the master gave it less than 26 bones, which were all buried one after another in special hiding-places. The next day the dog was given no more bones and so was forced to dig up the old ones. Without any hesitation he uncovered 10 and then came to a. stop. After whining and running about as if in a state of great perplexity a new idea seemed to enter thelcanine brain and again the dog began to dig up the hidden bones and this time he added nine to the total before his memory again failed him. There was a second period of whining and perplexity, after which the seven re- maining bones were found with some difficulty. _ -_ .-- .- .An The doctor concluded from this that 2-6 was too large a. number for the dog to take in all at once and that he had been obliged to remember the bones as it were in three shorter series. The cat, it would seem, is even less of an arithmatician than the dog, not being able to count as far as 10. Before giving his out its regular piece of meat the doctor would put it under the animal’s nose and then withdrew it five times in succession and it was only the sixth time that he would give the cat the morsel. This number was re- peated every day until the cat grew per- fectly accustomed to waiting five times, but would spring forward of its own ac- cord at the sixth presentation. Having thus demonstrated that pussy was able to remember up to six the doc- tor tried to put seven without success. As soon as he attempted to perform the experiment with higher numbers the cat became confused and would jump forward for the meat at the wrong time. The number six would therefore seem to be the limit of the cat‘s power 0! count- a. Not less interesting were similar ex- periments With horses. In the village of Pekoe, the doctor found a. oeusant’s horse which was used for plowing, and which had acquired the habit of count- ing the furrows and stopping for a rest regularly at the twentieth. So confident was the plowman of the accuracy of his horse’s calculations that the end of the day he used to estimate the amount of work done, not by counting the furrows himself, but by simply remembering; thn number of times his horse had stopped to rest. - e _ .I - “w i. In another village the doctor found a horse which was able to count the mile- posts along the way. and which had been trained by its master to stop for feed whenever they had covered 23 verstes. One day they tried the horse over a road where three false mile-posts had been put up in between the real ones, and sure enough the horse deceived by this trick. stopped for his oats at the end of ‘32 verstes instead of going the usual 25. 1 A , vvluuvu ---~"'â€"â€" ._ 0’ v The same horse wa accustomed to being fed every day at the stroke of noon. The doctor observed that whenever the clock struck any hour the horse would stop and priolt up his ears as if counting. If he heard 1:2 he would trot 011' content- edly to be fed. but if there were fewer strokes than 12 he would go on working resignedly. ‘ l' Lnfl_2..... ‘Lolal‘bw-J . The experiment was made of striking 12 strokes at the wrong time, whereupon the horse started for his outs in spite of the fact that he had been fed ouljan hour before. This shows that little knowledge may be a bad thing for horses as well as men.

Collection of Celestial Coins Which Date Back 4,200 Years. China. is the paradise of the numis- mutist. The collections of cash, accord- ing to Consul Edward Bedloe’s report to the State Department, are something marvelous. They are small coins of bronze, brass, copper, or silver, ranging in intrinsic value from one-twentieth of a ce;.t to 25 cents. The oldest of. these coins on record appeared about 2300 B.C. Over 150,000 different kinds of cash are reserved in collections. Some are won- derful examples of coinage, but most of them are clumsy and coarse. The nu- mismatist can work all his life, spend very _ -_LA._:4-‘v O-lxnn- nuswuuou uaLn n v. .. ..-' ___- , - little money, and leave to posterity thou- sands of coins. All he needs to do is to confine his work to the collection of cash. the small coins in brass and bronzenvhose value ranges from one-tenth to onefour- teenth of a cent. Their workmanship varies. but it is usuallv verv good. HOW ANlMALS COUNT. NUMISMATICS IN CHINA. A Do: Story. are told about The? shape today 15 like that or European coins, with the exception that through the center is a square hole through which the coins are strung to- gether like beads. In the past, however, other forms were employed. including the square, triangle, heart, eclipse, shield, key, sword, and Spear. The number of kinds is simply immense. They are referred to in the literature as far back as 250 B. C. “The earliest that Ihave heard of,” said Consul Bedloe, “dates from the Tsin dynasty, which ruled from 266 to 207 BC.” ruled from 266 to 207 BC.” From that time until to-day these use- ful little coins have been used by every monarch. whether he was an emperor of the entire country or king of one of the petty principalities, into which, from time to time, the Chinese Empire was broken. There have been over 1200 occupants of the various thrones. royal and imperial. In addition to these regular issues, if such they may be callâ€" ed, there have been special issues from time to time and also special local issues. A wealthy mandarin in Canton is said to have the finest collection extant. containing 25,000 specimens of different kinds. The cost increases as you go back- ward in time. The cash of this century can be secured at their nominal face value. Those of the eighteen and seven- teenth centuries bring from one cent to ten cents each. Those of the Han dyn- asties», from 206 'to 100 A.D., bring $100 each when in a, fine state of pre- servation. These true antiques are found in ancient tombs and ruins. Several hundred were discovered in Anioy this year in digging a grave, when the laborers broke into an old tomb several feet below the surface of the soil. The coins lay in a, pretty earthernware jar and encrusted with a. thin layer of malachite that here and there had been changed by moisture into azurite. The coins were sold by the lucky coolies iu the next twentyâ€"four hours, and are said to have brought $1 a. piece. an immense sum to men workmg for 12 Cents it day. To succeed in collecting cash a person must be a. fine Chinese scholar. The labor thereby involved is so Severe as to preclude most collectors from indulging in the pleasure to any great extent.â€" Philadelphia Bulletin.

'7 lsuhel Gordon. China is the only country in the world where the profession of arms is not hon- ored. The people have a proverb which says: “As one would not employ good iron to make a nail.no one would not use a good man to make a soldier.” Branded as the refuse of society. the warrior class has been condemned by 'rovernment policy to helpless ignorance. r’reserving traditions antedating the in- vention of firearms. oflicers of the army need have no education, bein'nr merely required to be trained swordsmen, and to swing heavy weights. One of the most important uses to which the Sol- diers are put is to exterminate grasshopâ€" pers. In time of a plague of those in- sects they march against them under the leadership of the'r ofi'icers, as it proceeding to meet a hostile army in the field. Each man is armed with a. coarse hempen bag attached to a bamboo pole. which is waved back and forth among the swarms until the bat); is tilled. Then the contents are crushed and the per- formance is repeated. Regiments of ducks are kept for the same purpose in China. and when grasshoppers have a bad year these birds are not allowed to be killed. The execution they do is said to be astounding. The farmers receive four cents a pound for dead grashoppers, or for their eggs, which they dig out of {:he ground. All Sorts of Facts of Interest to Women Readers.
