Nature prints an Interesting papor read beforo the Zoological Bociety of London by Prof. George Romanes, P. H. b., and from it the following extracts ore mados "Tholomalo chimpanzee which has now been In the society's menagerie for she years has attracted general notlco, not only on account of her peculiar zoological charac. ters, but perhaps still more on account of her high intelligence. This is conspicuous ly displayed by tho remarkable degree in which she is ablo to understand tho meaning of spoken languago a degree which is fully equal to that presented by an infant a few months before emerging from Infancy, and therefore higher than that presented by another brute, so far, at least, as I havo mot with any evidence to show. Nevertheless, tho only attempts that she makes by way of vocal responses are three peculiar grunting noises-one indicative of assent or. affirmation, another (very closely racuiuuu8 uiu umj ui uisscmor negation, and the third (quite different from the other two) or tnanKs or recognition of favors. In disposition sho is Bomewhat capricious, though on tho whole good-humored, fond of her keepers, and apparently never tired of a kind of bantering play which, off and on, they keep up with hor continually. "A year or two ago it occurred to me that I might try Borne psychological experiments on tho intolllgenco of this animal. The circumstances in which she is placed, how over, did not provo favorable for any thing like systematic instruction. Being constant ly exposed to the gaze of a number of peo ple coming and going and having her atten tion easily distracted by them, the ape was practically available for purposes of tuition only during the early hours of the morning, before thomenagerio Is opened to the pub lic, and, as a rule, I did not find it con' venlent to attend at that time. Therefore tho results which I am about to describe do not, in my opinion, represent what might fairly have been expected under more favorable conditions; if tho chimpanzee could have been kept as a domestic pet for a few months (as I kept tho Cebus kindly lent me for the purposes of psychological observation by this society) there can be no doubt that many much more Interesting resuus mignt nave Deen ootatnea. never theless, it appears to mo that even those which have thus far been obtained are worthy of being placed on record. "Having enlisted tho intelligent coropera tion of the keepers, I requested them to ask the ape repeatedly for ono straw, two straws or threo straws. Thcso she was to pick up and hand out from among the litter In her cage. No 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 sho gave the proper number her offer was accepted, and sho received a piece of fruit as pay ment. In this way tho ape was eventually taught to associate thcso threo numbers with their names. Lastly, if two straws or threo straws were demanded, sho was taught to hold one straw or two straws in her mouth until she had picked up the re maining straw, and then to hand tho two straws or three straws together. This pro vented 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 threo numbers with their names, she never failed to give the number of straws asked for. Her education was then ex tended in a similar manner from three to four and from four to Ave. Here, for rea sons to be presently stated, I allowed her education to terminate. .But more re cently one of the keepers has endeavored to advance her Instruction as far as ten. The result, however, is what might have been anticipated. Although 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 many as six or seven, when the numbers eight, nine or ten aro named, the result becomes more and more uncertain, so as to bo suggestive of guesswork. It is evident, however, that she understands the words seven, eight, nine and ten to betoken numbers higher than those below them; for if she is asked for any of these numbers ('. ., above six) she always gives some number that is above six and not moro than ten; but there is no such constant accuracy displayed in band ing out the exact number named as is the case below six. On tho whole, then, whllo there is no doubt that this animal can ac curately compute any number of straws up to five, beyond five the accuracy of hor computation becomes progressively dimin ished. "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 thero is counting and counting, . ., dta tlngulshlng between low numbers by di rectly appreciating tne ainerenco uctweeu two quantities of sensuous perception and distinguishing 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 caso of man has been made the sub ject of ft careful research by Prof. Preyer, of Jena, His experiments consisted in as certaining the number of objects (such as dots on b piece of paper) which admit of being simultaneously estimated with ac curacy, and It was found that tho number admits of being largely increased by prac tice until, In the case of some persons, It may rise to more than twenty. But of courso In the caso of a brute it Is not to be expected that such a high degree of pro fldency even In this non-notatlve kind of 'counting' should be attainable. The ut most that qould harP be expected Is that a brute should exhibit some such level of ability as Is presented by ft young child, or by those savages whose powers of accurate computation do not appear to extend further than numbers which we write as units, It was in yiavr of such considerations that I didnotatUmpt to carry the education of this apa beyond the number five, and the result which has attained subsequent en deavors to toach her numbers as high as ten Is, as previously remarked, exactly what might have been anticipated. It may here he added that in the only records with which I am acquainted of animals exhibit ing any powers of numerical computation these powers have not extended beyond too number five," , Valuablo Cat's Eye. - The most valuable cat's eye In the world was brought to London recently from Cey lon, the only region besides Madras where cat's eyes aro found. It was found by an Indian working-man while he was grading a bank of earth, prepaiatory to opening a street. He sold it for thirty rupees. After passing through several hand s, the big cat s eye was bought by an Indian merchant lor 9,000 rupees. Cutting and PUWpj re duced its weight from 475 caraU to 1T0 car at.

Mr. Edwin W, Joy for many years and now a prosperous druggist on tho corner of Stockton and Market streets In Ban Francisco, probably nsver dreamed of rivaling In wealth the medl. clno king of tho country. Bat various rumors 'haying been floating around to the effect that he has struck It big, an Ezanintr reporter was detailed to unearth the cause, and after mi'ch difficulty unraveled the followlug stery: It seems thatabout seven years ago an English physician, a great student of botany, locatud In this city. His practice was not extensive, and yet the few cases that came to blm attracted no little attention. Ill ttieecs seemed to bo in the treatment of liver and kidney disorders, and vitiated blood. In fact his ability to cope with these common complaints was marvelous. lie seemed almost Infallible, and hi quiet mode! tnttbod and his well-kept ecret was u much a mystery a blmlf. After hi de parture about a year later Mr. Joy determined to fathom the secret, and copying all the pre, criptlooa he had filled for the crratlo doctor be began a systematlo analysis. Ill bla exam! Inatlon be discovered running all through the preacrlptlon for liver and kidney trouble, ' vltlalto blood and stomach disorder a couple of vegetable extract ladJgenou to California, to simple and so well known under homely every day na me to every school boy a to en llrely dissipate tb luspiclon that tbey were lb active principle Involved. Bo certain, however was Mr, Joy that be had discovered the aecrtt, that he embodied the new element In a preparation of Barssparill to dlaguiae the taste, and put It before hi customer under the modest name of Joy' Vegetable Sartaparilla.
