In the strait of Torre* that cannot count fur­ ther than two. But, most surprising still, most animals possess calculating abilities, and several have a distinct appreciation of number. In certain mines of Hainanlt tbe horses are so used to traversing the same road thirty times that after tbeir last round they go to tbe stable of tbeir own accord and refuse to take another step. Mon­ taigne says that tbe oxen employed in the royal gardens of Susa for turning tbe wheels to which the water pails were attached absolutely refused to make more than a hundred rounds, which constituted tbeir daily task. A close observer has definitely estab­ lished tbe fact that magpies and rooks cannot count further than four. A rook never returns to its nest until it is quite satisfied that there Is no dan­ ger near. When four hunters or less departed In succession from a nearby log cabin tbe rook would return to Its nest after tbe last bad gone out of sight. But whenever there were more tbe bird lost count and returned to its nest even while some were still In tbe but Similarly apes do not count further than four, and tbe Boers of tbe Trans­ vaal when they want to bunt these ani­ mals 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.—Chicago News. FIRST PRINTER’S DEVIL CHAIN CABLES. Ws Import Them From Alt Over Oto World and Also Export Tht~n. An Item that seemed odd in tbe maog- fest of a steamer lately arrived bta Japanese aud Chinese porta was rat« in the list of her cargo from Tientsin: Fifty-five case« of horse tails As a mutter of fact, horse tails or tbe Uulr thereof are a common article of Importation Into thia country from China and from pretty much every other country on earth. Tbe American market gets large quantities of them from China, but more from Russia, and horse tails are Imported here from every other European country and from South America, from Australia, from ull round the world. On the oth­ er hund. there are more or less Ameri­ can horse tails exported. From various causes the supply of horse tails, like that of anything else, may In one country and another vary from year to year, and there may be years when tbe world's supply la short aud years when It Is plentiful, with corresponding cbauges In the range of prices. Horse tails have sold as low as 20 cents a pound, and they have sold for as much as $2. If Btocks are scarce and high In London and ample at low­ er prices here New York Importers ship horse tails to London. In the contrary circumstances Loudon Importers might ship horse tails here. Horsetail hairs are sorted for length and colors, and they are used either alone or mixed with other fibers In the manufacture of various sorts of brush­ es and mixed with other materials In tbe manufacture of haircloth. — New York Sun.
