Rocks and Apes Can’t Get Past the Number Four. There are human beings. such as in- habitants of the Murray islands. in the strait of Torres. that cannot count fur. ther than two; But. most surprising still. most animals possess calculating abilities. and several have a distinct appreciation of number. In certain mines of Hainault the horses are so used to traversing the same road thirty times that after their last round they go to the stable of their own accord and refuse to take another step. Mon- taigne says that the oxen employed in the royal gardens of Susa for turning the wheels to which the water pails were attached :‘thsolutely refused to make more than a hundred rounds. which constituted their daily task. A close observer has definitely estab- lished the fact that umgpies and rocks cannot count further than tour.

A Cleveland man who has lived for a number of years recently got it into his head that he might die one or these days and that it would be well it he wrote his autobiography ere that sad event occurred, as one might say. So he sat down and wrote many pages and took those pages to a local pub- lisher. After the manuscript had been in the latter’s hands for some time the author called him up. “This is Bjones,” he explained gen- lally. “Who’s Bjones?” came the reply. “Bjones, you knowâ€"Bjones of East Umpth street, whose autobiography you are publishing.
