Every year the results of ani-

Oat domestic pets, all over the
yierld are gradually growing
more intelligent.
To-day experiments designed
io test the intelligence of ard-
%min are constantly taking
Vince.
Only a short time ago four
Imam young university psycholo-
gists in the United States spent
Weeks in a private zoo trying
}le find out the extent of animal
kainpower.
They devoted many hours
every day to matching their
wits against those of monkeys,
elephants, sea-lions and other
*matures in earnest efforts to
uncover secrets of the evolution
of intelligence in our dumb
friends.
Dumb friends? They found that
animals are not so dumb as
:tome people seem to think, That
*erne animals not only possess
brains but use them to- good
effect.
One elephant, they discover-
ed could always remember that
en apple was tied to a string

A bison regularly escaped
from his enclosure by lifting

A monkey systematically

four-storied structure in order
to reach an objective.
A bull performed the amaz-
ing feat of taking a stick in his
:mouth and using it to scratch
his back, thus coming near to
num as a tool user.
Two of the psychologists stay-
ed all night in the zoo so that
"their research might be as their-
ough as possible. -
When a zoologist,. in the
eOurse of his investigations into
the possible reasoning power of
animals, was asked to list the
ten most intelligent animals in
the world to-day he did so with-
Cut hesitation.

The other nine followed in
this order: orang-utan, elephant,

and domestic cat,
The latest research into am-
mal behaviour, instincts and in-
telligence has brought to light
some astonishing instances of
some animals' ability to think
for themselves,
A monkey kept as a Pet in a
New York home acted with stir-
prising "presence of mind"
when., the place caught Jire. It
dragged a sleeping child from a
cot and carried the infant to
a place of safety with the ut-
most gentleness.
It is obvious, of course, that
some animals do many things
instinctively and not by means
of powers of reasoning, but
how can we account for the re-
sourcefulness shown at the Lon-
don Zoo, by an elephant when a
little girl offered it a bun some
time ago?
The girl's nerve failed her
suddenly and she let the bun
fall — out of the elephant's and
her own reach.
After stretching vainly for it,
the elephant thought out its
-own solution to the problem. It
moved its trunk to one side and
blew down at and towards the
bun which rolled a few inches
nearer the girl. It continued to
blew down its trunk until the
bun rolled near enough to be
grasped and thrown back to
Jumbo.
Says a famous naturalist who
saw the incident: "It was im-
possible to term the elephant's
actions instinctive, to say , they
were due to hereditary respon-
ses, or to use any other of
those formulae we are so apt
to fit to animal actions."
No, many animals' marvellous
sagacity is certainly not all in-
stinct.
Horse sense is another phase
of animal intelligence which is
increasingly coming under the
searchlight of science. In a Car-
marthenshire mine a man
named Stephens was conveying
coal in a horse-drawn truck
from the coal-face when his
horse suddenly stopped.
It only started forward again
reluCtantly, at the repeated urg-
ing of its driver. As it did so a
post supporting the roof, forced
out of position by what is
known as a "squeeze," was
caught by the truck, 'It fell and•
let down fifteen tons of coal
from the roof,
Pew; Stephens was buried by
the coal, suffering injuries from
There is, perhaps, something
et, interest and information in
the origins of the everyday
terms we use to denote* time,
The word gtime` itself, like 'tide'
ds from the Anglo-Saxon tid
(time) and the Danish word time
means an ,hour, which is
descended from the Greek hero
(,a season) came into use as the
twenty-fourth part of a day
among the ancients during the
second century, B.C. incident-
ally Our 'Word 'year' derived
from the same, source,
'Minute'' and 'second'.came to
us, indirectly, from the trig°,
nomical work of Ptolemy or, to
give him his full name, Claudius
Ptolemaeus, the Greco-Egyptian
mathematician and astronomer
of, nearly two thousands years
ago. In ancient times, all ealcu-
lations were based upon the
number sixty — known as the
sexagesimal system. The Baby-
Ionians divided the circle into
three hundred and sixty degrees
or parts, Ptolemy doubled, the
number of these divisions; he
also divided the diameter into
one hundred and twenty parts,
each of which he divided into
sixty subdivisions, each of which
he again divided into sixty equal
sub-divisions. The first of these'
sub-divisions were called, in the•
Latin, partes rninutae primae and
the second, pastes rninutae secun-
dae, i,e., 'first minute divisions'
and 'second minute divisions',
from which we derived our 'min-
ute' and 'second' as applied to
time, Thus the hour ring and
second dial of a clock are really
survivals of the ancient arithme-
tic founded on the number
sixty. , ,
With clocks which are basical-
ly the cycle of the sun, there is
the grasshopper escapement, • the
snail, the jaws, we commonly
refer to the dial as the 'face' and
a clock has hands.
This use of the word 'hand'
for a pointer indicating the hour
has a more natural derivation
than might be generally thought.
With early, clocks, the pointer
or indicator was the shape
Of a hand with •the index
finger extended, as commonly
seen on signs, and some old road-
side signposts-in our time The
clock hand was cut from light
metal either with the additional
length of 'arm' or, fixed to a sep-
arate( piece-of metal; and at the
Victdria and `, Albert Museum
there is a German late fifteenth_
century clock With an indicator
of this type.
Clock hands not drily indicate
the time of day' (if the move-
ment is in going order) but
within certain limits also indi-
cate the approximate period at
which a clock Was made. From
the time when the minute hand
was adopted, they may be
classified under four general
groups, each representing a more
or less definite period. — From
"Old Clocks," by Edward Wen-
ham.
• Just As Bad
A Scotsman had been told by
his doctor that he had a float-
ing kidney. Disturbed by the
diagnosis, he went to the pastor
of his church with a request for
the prayers of the congregation.
"I'm afraid," the pastor said
dubiously, "that the mention of
a floating kidney would cause
the congregation to laugh,"
"I don't see why," replied the
sufferer. "It was only last Sun-
day that you prayed for loose
livers," -

escapeehis fate had he given
heed to the horse's danger signal.
Pit ponies usually come to a
standstill when they hear the
dreaded "squeeze" movement in
the coal or rock, or when in
other ways they detect impend-
ing danger, "They seem, to rea-
son;" a pit inspector once de-
clared.
A horse which could "spell
simple words, do mathematical
calculations including square
roots and long division," was
mentioned by Herr Karl Krall,
of.Munich, at an international
congress in Paris in 1927.
He said that nearly all ani-
mals, especially horses and
dogs, have a power of compre-
hension and interpretation rare-
ly appreciated.
"Pet animals do not begin to
exercise logical thought imme-
diately; but they soon respond
to thoughts that are transmitted
to them by humans,'? he claim-
ed, "Don't expect your ainmals
to talk and converse with you,
but they will understand and
make themselves understood.-
"You must penetrate .the very
soul of the animal. Once he
realizes you are his friend, he
will use his intelligence to
manifest it in remarkable
ways,"
Official OK For,
Abominable
Snowman
The British Air Ministry has
decorated the Abominable
Snowman of the Himalayas.
In an official announcement,
it has awarded this legendary
,creature — locally called the
Yeti, when it is not in earshot
— the accolade of credence.
The Yeti, which has always
been thought to be rather more
than life-size, has been de-
scribed as half ape, ,half bear,
and half imagination,
It lives in the snows at high
altitudes and leads a pretty
lonely existence, they say. Ac-
cording to Sherpas, who are
almost the only people to be
able to claim having .seen Yetis,
it is covered in matted red hair
and has a peaked, head.
An abominable snowman is
certainly something or someone
you'd recognize the next time
you saw one. Which has always
made it seem odd that almost
nobody has personnally seen a
Yeti for five or 10 years, or
maybe more. But climbers have
reported seeing strange foot-
prints in the snow.
And now comes the Air Min-
istry with news of the clearest,
most definite and biggest feet
ever printed.
The feet were 12 inches long,
They had sunk 11 inches in the
When a• convict escapes from
prison he doesn't expect to be
hunted down like, a fox. So it
was with a convict who, one day
in October 1937, escaped with
astonishing ease from the prison
in Contra Costa County, near
San Francisco.
Some hours after his dawn
break-out, believing himself
safe, he sought the sanctuary of
some bushes and began to de-
liberate on his next moves.
When and how might he get
something to eat? He needed
different clothes too.
He was suddenly 'aroused
from these thoughts, by the sight
of a cloud of dust in the dis-
tance. As it neared he saw with
fear that it was a large mount-,
ed party—looking for him,
He left his hiding-place and
began to run. Though seen sev-
eral times, by doubling back
and by cleverly using the many
clumps of trees, bushes, and
rocks dotted over the rough
countryside,' he was able to
elude his pursuers for some
hours. But at last, exhausted
and hungry, he was cornered.
Weary though he was, he
could not stifle a gasp of sur-
prise as he saw how great was
the party—and the fact that all
were dressed for fox-hunting.
There were even a number of
smartly groomed women in the
party, which was led by the
sheriff, John Miller.
Escorted back to jail, a fur-
ther surprise awaited the youth-
ful convict. Ordered to take a
bath, he was presented with a
clean civilian suit and told to
dress. Then he was taken to
the sheriff's quarters, to be the
guest of honour at a magnificent
dinner given to all of the 130
huntsmen who had successfully
cornered the convict earlier
Only after dinner, when the
toasts and speeches were being
made, did the convict learn the
truth.
The sheriff, of good family and
with high social connection had
for some time been seeking for
some novel way of entertaining
his friends—and especially his
lady friends. So he conceived
the startling idea of deliberate-
ly "arranging" that a convict
should escape one day at dawn.
The warders at the jail were
consulted and a young convict
noted :for. his endurance aid
strength was' choSen. • Then Mat-
ters were so arranged that the
convict concerned, could hot fail
to see that iii unexpected chanbe
Of escaping had suddenly pee-
sented itself.
So he "escaped" —and for
best part Of a clay unwittingly
played the part or a "htirnari
fox" for the benefit of the
sheriff and his friends.
At the end of the day's ,,en
tertairinient the sheriff passed
an envelope to the'convict and
then had hlin taken back to.his
cell. The ehVeleMe Contained ten
dollars, the cost, no doubt; of
the hie° of one human fbx for
a day.
