There are huumu beings; such as In habitants of the Murray islands. In the strait uf Torres, that cannot count fur ther thiiii two. But, most surprising still, most animals possess culouliitiiiu abilities, and several have u distinct upl'recluilon of number. tu certain mines of Hiiluault the horses are no usi'd to traversing the same road thirty times: Unit after their last round iuey go to the stable of their own accord and refuse to take another step. -Mon-.

A elose observer has deilnltrl.v estab lished the fntt that magpie and rooks cannot count further than four. A rook uever returns to Its nest until It is quite sali.slled that there Is no (lun ger near. When four hunters or less departed lu succession from a nearby log cal)ln the rook would return to its nest after the last hud. gone out of sight. But whenever there were more the bird lost count and returned to its nest even while some were still lu the but. Similarly npes do not count further than four, and the Boers of the Trans vaal when they want to hunt these nnl mnls hide in numbers exceeding four. Four depart In succession In such a manner as to be noticed by the apes, who then come forth and are easily captured.--ChlcagoNews. FIRST PRINTER'S , DEVIL.
