A COUNTING CHIMPANZEE.
Remarkable Exploits of an Ape—Results
of Experiments.
Nature prints an interesting paper read be-
fore the Zoological society of London by Pro-
fessor George J. Romanes, F. R. S., and from
it the following extracts are made:
“A year or two ago it occurred to me that
I might try some psychological experiments
on the intelligence of this animal. The cir-
cumstances in which she is placed, however,
did not prove favorable for anything like
systematic instruction. Being constantly ex-
posed to the gaze of a number of people com-
ing and going and having had attention easily
distracted by them, the ape was practically
available for purposes of tuition only during
the early hours of the morning, before the
menagerie is open to the public, and, as a
rule, I did not find it convenient at that time.
Therefore, the results which I am about to
describe do not, in my opinion, represent
what might fairly have been expected under
more favorable conditions; if the chimpanzee
could have been kept as a domestic pet for a
few months (as I kept the cebus kindly lent
me for the purposes of psychological observa-
tion by this society), there can be no doubt
that many much more interesting results
might have been obtained. Nevertheless, it
appears to me that even those which have
thus far been obtained are worthy of being
placed on record.
“Having enlisted the intelligent co-opera.
tion of the keepers, I requested them to ask
the ape repeatedly for one straw, two straws,
or three straws. These she was to pick up
and hand out from among the litter in her
cage. N o constant order was to be observed
in making these requests, but, whenever she
handed a number not asked for her offer was
refused, while if she gave the proper num-
ber, her offer was accepted, and she received
a piece of fruit as payment. In this way the
ape was eventually taught to associate these
three numbers with their names. Lastly, if
two straws or three straws were demanded,
she was taught to hold one straw or two
straws in her month until she had picked up
the remaining straw, and then to hand the
two straws or the three straws together. This
prevented any possible error arising from her
interpretation of vocal tones—an error which
might well have arisen if each straw had been
asked for separately.
“As soon as the animal understood what
was required and had learned to associate
these three numbers with their names, she
never failed to give the number of straws
asked for. Her education was then extended
in a. similar manner from three to four and
from four to five. Here, for reasons to be
presently stated, I allowed her education to
terminate. But, more recently, one of the
keepers has endeavored to advance her in-
struction as far as ten. The result, however,
is what might have been anticipated. Al.
though she very rarely makes any mistake in
handing out one, two, three, four or five
straws, according to the number asked for,
and, although she is usually accurate in
handing out as manyas six or seven,when the
numbers eight, nine or ten are named, the re-
sult becomes more and more uncertain, so as
to be suggestive of guesswork. It is evident,
however, that she understands the words
seven, eight, nine and ten to betoken num-
bers higher than those below them; for if she
is asked for any of these numbers (i. 0.,
above six) she always gives some number
that is above six and not more than ten; but
there is no such constant accuracy displayed
in handing out the exact number named as is
the case below six. On the whole, then,
while there is no doubt that this animal can
accurately compute any number of straw: up
to five, beyond five the accuracy of her oom-
putation becomes progressively diminished
“It is not necessary—indeed, it would be
unreasonable—to suppose that in this process
of ‘counting’ the ape employs any system of
notation. We know from our own experience
that there is counting and counting, i. a, dis-
tinguishing between low numbers by directly
appreciating the difference between tw0
quantities of sensuous perception and dis-
tinguishing between numbers of any amount
by marking each perception with a separate
sign. The extent to which the former kind of
computation can be carried in the case of man
has been made the subject of a careful re-
search by Professor Preyer, of J ena. His ex-
periments consisted in ascertaining the num-
ber of objects (such as dots on a piece of
paper) which admit of being simultaneously
estimated with accuracy, and it was found
that the number admits of being largely in-
creased by practice until, in the case of some
persons, it may rise to more than twenty.
But, of course, in the case of a brute it is not
to be expected that such a high degree of
proficiency, even in this non-notative kind of
‘counting,’ should be attainable. The utmost
that could here be expected is that a brute
should exhibit some such level of ability as is
presented by a young child or by those sav-
ages whose powers of accurate computation
do not appear to extend further than num-
bers which we write as units. It was in view
of such considerations that I did not attempt
to carry the education of this ape beyond the
number five, and the result which has at-
tained subsequent endeavors to teach her
numbers as high as ten is, as previously re-
marked, exactly what might bave been an-
ticipated. It may here be added that in the
only records with which I am acquainted of
animals exhitp'ting any powers of numerical
computation these powers have not extended
beyond the number five. "
A Little Smuggler.
A story is told at police station No. 8 of a
small gray kitten which belongs there. Three
prisoners Were brought in one 'night and
locked up. Two of them were women and
one was a man. The cell room Is a large
square apartment, the iron pens placed in the
center, with openings facing the four walls.
The women were on one side and the man on
the other. Soon after they had been locked
up the women tried to relieve their feelings
by preparing to smoke cigarettes, but they
had no matches. The man, on the other hand,
had matches but no tobacco. While debating
in their minds what to do the kitten came in
the women’s apartment, and a warm friend-
ship immediately sprang up between them.
Then came the idea of turning their new
found friend to some practical use. The
women took some tobacco, and, tying it in a
small bundle, fastened it to the kitten’s neck,
and the man on the other side called the little
animal, which immediately ran to him with
its burden, which was removed, and some of
his matches were placed about its neck, and a ‘
call from the women brought it back to them.

weeping? Have you had bad news from your
husband?”
“Ohl worse than that! Arthur writes me
from Carlsbad that he would ,die with grief
at being absent from me, were it not that he
gazes at my picture and covers it with a
thousand kisses every day.”
“That is very nice of him; but surely you
are not crying about that? Most women
would give anything to have such a poetic
and devoted husband.” . .

THE OTHER SIDE‘ OF THE STORY OF
WHY THE FISH GOT AWAY.

Tell How He Wasn’t Caught and Lied
About by a Man with a Rod and Line.
hnagine, for the moment, for the sake of
justice and fair play, that fishes are able to
exchange ideas by means of speech among
themselves, and that at certain favored
times, as we remember reading of in our
childhood’s perusal of the Arabian Nights, it
Is possible for mortals to hear and understand
their language. Let it be the privilege, too,
of somebody strolling beside a well stocked
fishing stream to overhear some such col-
loquy among a school of black base as follows
below. Imagine the listener to be gazing
into the depths ofa deep basin in the channel
of the river when he is astonished by the
sound of a queer voice from under the can
face of the water, exclaiming:
now an s'ronn THE BAIT.
“Didn‘t I triumph over that poor fisher
man I”
Further permit the favored individual,
looking down still more intently into the
water, to distinguish clearly a school of
black bass suspended in the liquid element
near the bottom, winnowing with their fins,
heads up stream, and among them a particu-
larly large one, vigorously working his gills.
The crowd of lesser fish seem to be held in
rapt attention to hear an interesting story
which the greater bass is about to telL Any
one who has ever hung over a clear running
stream from bridge or bank and has seen
groups of fish below will recall how invaria-
bly the little ones in a school gather admir-
ingly around the bigger ones, just as people
do in human society. Immediately let the
smaller voices, replying, be heard to say in a
chorus, “Should think you did! Tell us how
It happened. We were watching you.”
“Well, you see," let the stronger voice pro-
ceed, with the reader’s indulgence, “I am a
pretty big has. I weigh about five pounds,
and I flatter myself that I am as active as I
am big. This afternoon, you know, being
hungry, I began to look about for provisions.
In exploring here and there, I discovered a
long white line waving in the water, and on
the end of that line was a bunch of baby
toads. At the same time, on the surface of
the water, I noticed the shadow of a long
yellow rod that was held out straight from
one end, as it seemed, by somebody on shore.
Hereafter, my friends, when you see an outr
fit like that, look outl Those toads looked
very attractive. I am very fond of young
toads.” -
“Yes," chimes in the chorus.
“Consequently, steering clear of the white
line, I rushed up and grabbed them in my
mouth. While I was making of! with them
I felt them pulling back in a way I did not
understand. It seemed they had a power of
motion and resistance apart from their own
strength. But I crushed them without mercy
and swallowed them, and when I cast my
eyes up again, behold, the white line was gone.
So by this time I know that it was what is
called a fishing line, which of course you
have all heard about. Presently in my fur
ther travels I passed by the same place,
when, strange to say, I spied a large crab at-
tached to that some white line. Now. you
know I am very fond of crabs"
“Yes."
“Well, this time I was a little chary of that
white line, for I knew I must be careful, else
I might get captured, as our ancestors-used to
predict of us. So I swiftly approached the
crab, avoiding the little crooked contrivance
at the end of the line—a mighty dangerous
device, by the way—and seized him near the
tail. I was just proceedingto swallow him
tall foremost, when suddenly I felt him jerk.
I held on tightly, and immediately the hook
and line disappeared. Having dispatched
that crab, I continued purveying, and pres-
ently chanced to return that way again.
Right before me, this time, a nice, neat, good
sized minnow was swimming, so I said:
‘Young follow, you are predestinated for me.’
and charged on him.
Room, BUT NOT LANDED.
“I seized him crosswise in the middle, on the
back, and the stomach, preparatory to swal-
lowing him head foremost. according to our
ancestral custom, you know; but just at that
Instant he jerked, and I felt a sharp pain
thrill through my right jaw, and I instantly
became aware that I was pierced with one of
those dreadful books we hear so much about.
I braced up and brought all my arts and
tricks into play. I flew across the basin and
back again; I rushed up stream, and then
darted down till the line gave out. But that
wouldn’t do. Steadily and remorselessly the
line was drawn in taut until I was pulled up
to the top of the water, and there”—
“What did you see?” cries the chorus.
“There I saw a fellow pulling for dear life
at the white line to which the hook in my
jaw was fastened and the other end of which
was attached tothe long thin rod which he
held in his hands. He seemed much agitated.
The rod bent like a willow twig. His linen
duster was all mussed, his straw hat was off
and lying in the mud, his eyeglasses were
dangling by astring to his vest, his hands
were trembling nervously, and in general his
conduct, as he sputtered and muttered to
himself, was like that of a man going mad.
He kept repeating rapidly to himself, ‘Soft.
soft, I’ve got himl’ but he hadn’t. I pitied
the poor fellow, he seemed so much excited.
[looked up sympathetically at him, but he
glared cruelly at me; and all the while he
kept dragging me nearer to him. I knew now
that the case demanded unusual exertion on
my part. I realized that my situation was
desperate. However. I noticed that the bank
where the follow stood was of clay formation,
and very wet and slippery from recent rains,
and I felt that if I could only upset my
enemy on that bank I might get of! safely.
50 running up toward him, I slackened the
Ilnccoquickiy that he couldn’t wind up in
time, and then I braced myself for a terrific
rush.
“I rushed. Nothing could withstand such
a desperate effort. I heard a great splashing
and floundering in the water behind me, and
the line came right along with me as free as
you please. Then i knew i was safe. All
that I had to do after that was to work my
gills energetically, whereupon the book of its
own accord slipped out of my jaw, and both
rod and line floated down stream. I stowed
that minnow away, under the circumstances,
with extreme satisfaction, and paddled back
tothe place of conflict to see how the poor
fisherman was coming on. > Well, he looked
dreadfuny wet and out of temper. He was
just in the act of getting up and pulling him-
self together. On the slippery bank leading
down to the water’s edge I noticed two long
parallel marks in the mud, made by his heels
when he slid. But I couldn’t look at him
long, for the atmosphere and water about the
place were too sulphurous. So lcame here
none the wOrse for the encounter. saving this
little out in my right jaw, which will soon
heal, you know, owing to the salutary influ-
ence of the water. ”--Cor. New York Sun. -

Smallnen of the World.
There are experiences in the lives of most
of us that bring the conviction that the
world is but a small place after all. An in-
cident related by the author of “Coral
Lands" is to this very point.
Our schooner was making the very best of
a very light wind through a channel dividing
two large sized atolls, which shall be name-
less in this book, when a rowboat came along-
side, steered by a youngish looking white
man, of course as brown as a berry, and clad
in shirt and troum only.
Telling the boys to keep alongside, he came
up our side, and, after purchasing some to-
bacco and other odds and ends, for he was a

_He suddenly turned round on me, and ask-
ed if I had seen the so-and-so’s lately, men-

mine, and moot intimate friends. He had
recognized his old classmate, but I failed at
first sight to see in the bronzed, stockinglesa
waif of the Pacific, trading in a most remote
cluster of atolls, the same fellow who, fifteen
years before, used to help me considerably

Ingenious California Girls.
For some time past it has been the custom
of anumber of young ladies employed iiia
dresmaking shop to repair to the capitol
grounds at the noon hour to partake of their
luncheon. They invariably sat beneath a
large cedar tree, the wide branches of which
afforded a generous shade. Several young
men about town observed this fact, and al-
most daily they could be found shortly before
12 m. lounging under a tree not far distant
from that beneath which the young ladies
sought shelter. This was of course annoying
to the young ladies, and each of them has pro-
vided herself with a large para-cl, all of
which are opened when the grounds are
reached and placed around in a circle. This
forms a perfect coral three or four feet in
height, within whichthc young ladies can
partake of their lunch and recline atcuc,
free from the prying eyes of the curious
young men—Sacramento Bob.
Rich.
People have widely different ideas of what
constitutes wealth, as the following incident
illustrates:
“I hear, Amanda, that your daughter is
married.” said a lady to her colored washer- '
woman. .
“Yes’m,” was the reply; “en I tell yo’ she’s
done mah’ied bettah ’n her ole mummy did,
on she’ll nebbah hab to wu’k like I’se wu’ked.
No’m, all she’ll hab tor do ’11 be to set on hol’ '
her han’s."
“Is her husband rich?"
“’Deed he is, ma'am; he had fifty dollars
in bank do day he got‘ mah’ied, en his par
done died las’ week en lef’ him seventy-five
mo’, on my Tilly she had fo’teen of her own,
so I reckon dey has no need to worry dey-
selves ’bout how dey’s gwine ter git erlong'.
Some folks jcss seem tor be bawn lucky. ”—

Johnson’s Definition.
Soon after the fall of Sir Robert Walpole’a
ministry the title of “patriot” was a reproach
in England. In his dictionary, blunt old Sam
Johnson defined the word as “the last resort
of a scoundrel.” Pulteuey and Cateret be.
came the best abused men in the realm, and
even the elder Pitt, then the “terrible-comet-
of horse,” lost half his popularity. --LOuisvillc
