article a wrItre In Outing says When I hear a person expatiating on the reasoning powers of the lower animals as I often do I want to tell him of the wondetul reasoning power of the files that pester our Did cow In summer Those flies have measured the length of old Brindles taUso accurately that they know the precise spot oji her body where the tail cannot reach them on these spots they settle and torment her Their behavior reveals great powers of calculation and reasoning By what means they measured the swing of that tail so accurately I do not know When I come slying up with a switch in hand they dart away before I can get in a stroke because theYknow I can reach them they take the measure of my arm and switch on the InstantOn the fly as it were Now is not that reasoning just as good as much of the reasoning of our new school of writers We translate the action of bird and beast Into human thought just as i we translate their cries and calls into human speech But the bird does not utter the word we ascribe to it it only makes a sound that suggests the words So its behavior Is not the result of thought but it is such as to suggest thought to a thinking animal and we proceed to explain it in terms of thought We see a crow approaching a hit of meat upon the lawn in winter and note his suspicion He circles about and surveys it from all points and approaches it with extreme caution and we say he suspects some trap concealed enemy or plot to tic him injury when in fact he does not consciously suspect anything or think anything ha is simply obeying his nbora instinct to be on the lookout for danger at all times and in aU place the instinct seifpreserva ion When the chickadee comes to the bone or bit bfjsuet upon the tree under your window It does so with little or ho signs of suspicion Its enemies are ola different kind and its instincts work differently Or when we see a fox trying to lude or delay the hound that is pursulng him Dy taking to rail fences or bare plowed fields or to the Ice or frozen streams we say he knows what he is doing he knows his scent will not lay upon the rail or the bare eaiyth 01 upon the Ice as upon the snow or the moist ground We translate his act into bur mental concepts The o1is ot course trying to elude or to shake off hia pursuers but he is not drawing upon his stores of natural knowledge or his pavers of thought to do BO he does not realIze as you or I would that it is the scent of his foot that gives the clue to his enemy How can he have any general ideas about odors and sun faces that best retain them He is simply obeying the instinctive cunning of his vulpine nature and takes to fences or to the Ice or to the water as a new expedient when others have failed Such a course on our part under like circumstances would be the result of some sort of mental process with the fox it is evidence of the flexibility and resourcefulness of instinct The animals all do rational things without reason cunning things without calculation and provident things without forethought Of course we have to fallback upon instinct to account of their act that natural innate untaught wisdom of the animal kingdom If we depy instinct as spme persons do and can it all reason then we have two kinds of reason to account for and our last state is worse than our first No juggling with terms can make animal reason The difference is just as great as that between sight and touch Mans reason isa light that shows him many things while animal instinct is a blind impulse that has no mental genesis If the fox in trying to shake off the hound really thought or had mental concepts he would do as Mr Roberts fox did seek the higjiway and when a wagon came alonge jump into the hind end of it awl curling up there take a ride of a mile or two In both the animals and vegetable worlds we see a kind of intelligence that we are always tempted to de cribe In terms of our own intelligence it ems to run parallel to and to foreshadow our own as to ways and means and getting on in the world propagation preservation dissemination adaptationthe plant resorting to many ingenious devices to scatter seed and to secure crossfer tilization the animal eluding its enemies hiding its door or its nest finding its way securing its food and many other thIngsall exhibiting a kind of intelligence that independent of Instruction or experience and that suggests human reason without boing one with It Each known what its kind knows and each does what its kind does but only in man dp we reach selfknowledge and the freedom of oonaclQUB intelligence The animsls all profit more or less by experience and this would at first thought seem to imply some sort of mental capacity Bqt vegetables profit by experience also and mainly In the sam way by incfeasea power to Uve ani multiply Hunt an animal and It becomes wary and hardy persecute 7 a plant and it too seems iio tighten its hold upon life But as the animal is nearer Ato us than the vegetable so la animal intelligence nearer akin to our own than plant Intelligence We hear ol plant physiology but not yet of plant psychology When a plant growing In a darkened room leans toward tne light the leaning we are taught Js a purely mechanical process the effect of the light upon the cells of the plant brings It about In a purely mechanical way but when an animal is drawn to thelight the process la a much more complex one and implies a nervous system It te thought by som that the roots of a water loving plant divine the water from afar and run toward it Tne truth is the plant or tree sends its roots in all directions but those on the side of the water find the ground moister in that direction and their growth Is accelerated while the others are checked by the dryness of the soil A birch tree starting life upon the top of a rock as birch trees more than any others are wont to do where the soil Ig thin soon starts a root down to the ground several feet below In what seems a very intelligent i way Now the tree cannot know that the ground is there within reach On one side of the rock usually on the north side It finds moss and moisture and here the root makes its way when It reaches the edge of the rocks it bends down just asa fluid would do and continues Uts course till it reaches the ground then it rejoices so to speaR All other roots are called in or dry Tip this one root increases till it is like a continuation of the i trunk itself and a new root system Is established in the ground But why the birch so often establishes itself upon a rock dp not know The intelligence of the plants and flowers of which Maeterlinck writes so delightfully of course only a manifestation of the general intelligence that pervades all nature Maeterlinck is usualy sound upon his facts however however free and poetic he nfay be In the interpretation of them The plants and flowers certainly do some wonderful things they secure definite ends by definite means and devices as much so as does man himself witness the elaborate and Ingenious mechanical contrivances by which the orchids secure crossfertilization Yet if ware to use terms strictly we can hardly call it intelligence in the human sense that is the result of reflection on the part of the plant itself anymore than we can ascribe the general structure and economy of the plant or or our own bodies 10k an Individual act of intelligence There are ten thousand curious and wonderful things in both the animal and vegetable worlds and in the inorganic world as well but it isonly in a poetic and imaginative sense that we can speak of them as there ult of intelligence on the part of the things themselves we personify the things when we dosoouting Magazine RUfF W8E TRIED

charges he said and on the next day had Captain Hancock arrested at the officers mess These charges were absence without leave At this juncture the judge advocate read a paper purporting to oe the original pledge abstinence signed by Captain Hancock Major Barney resuming his testimony declared that it was upon the strength of this pledge that Captain Hancock was released at the particular time under discUS iion and the charges against him dismissed This agreement he said was made upon the recommendation and consent of the general commanding the department of Columbia the department in which
