fair-haired girl outside, "do you

The soft clear voice was not. un,
heard, for Leah raised her head for a
moment, and sat listening, with the
dark cloud of tangle•' hair thrown
back froth the low forlfead and deep-
ly-shadowed eyebrows. But the look
of attention passed away almost as
rapidly as it came, and in another
moment her head was down again
on the floor, and softly-set lips, that
seemed -made only
.to shape love's
whispers, murmured stupidly anti
hungrily, " More, more !"

" She is so Beau ifui !" said the girl

THE SENSE OF THE MYSTERIOUS

Mr. George J. &manes, the Eng
ish naturalist,. writing to Natur;
about Herbert Spencer's treatmen
of the subject of " Fetichism in Ani
mule,"
tells'some; l mare of his enter
tabling. stories about experimente
made' by himself with his pets.
"I was led," he says, "to make
the experiments
by reading the in-
stance given in the' Descent of Man' ;
of the large dog which Mr. Darwin'
observed to bark at

was moved along the lawn by the

experimented was a Skye terrier—a

nteations to this and other periodi
cals., - As , all my experiments yielded
the same resUlts; I. will only mention

arise of animation, in- order to give
himself the ideal -pleaiure of worry
ing them. On- one occasion, the •-•!.<
fore, -I tied a long and fine thread to
milry bone and gave him the latter
to'play. with. After he had tossed it
abluntlor &short time I took an op
portunity; when it had fallet at a
distance from him and, while he was
following,it.up, of gently drawing it
awayfrouttim by means of th e e long
and invisible thread. Instantly a his
whole demeanor'changed. •The bone
N,irhich he-lad prevtously pretended
to be alive • now began to look as if it
really were alive, and hie astonisment
knew no. bounds. He first approach
ed it with nerious 'caution as Mr.
Spencer describes, but as the slow
receding motion eontinuesfouid he
became.quite,certain that the \move
ment could nbt be accounted for by
any residuum of the force which\he
had,bimself communicated, his as-,
tonishment developed' into dread,'
and he ran to conceal 'himself Under
some articles of furniture; there 'to
-behold at a distance the ' uncanny'
spectacle of a dry 'bone coming to
life.
" Now in this, and in my other ex
)
periments, llive no (ii) bt that, the
behavior of the terrier a ose from his
sense of the . Mysterious for he was
of ,a highly • pugnacion 'disposition,
and never hesitated ts:''fight an ani
mal of any size or ferOcity ; but ap
parent' symptoms of apontaneity in
an inanimate object which he knew
so well gave rise, to feelings of awe
andy.horror which qUite• 'enervated
him:- And that there was nothing fe
tichistic in this feelings-may be safe
ly concluded if we reflect, with. Mr.
Spencer, that the dog's knowledge of
causation, for allimmefliat•e purposes,
beine, quite as correct 'and no less
stereotyped than is that of ' primitive
man,' when an object 4f a class which
he kew from uniform past experi
ence to be inanimate suddenly began
to move; he must _have, felt the same
oppressive and alarming, sense of the
mysterious which uncultured peraotts
,feel under similar circumstances." But
further, in the case of the terrierwe are
not. left with a prieri inferences
alone to settle this point, for anothey
experiment proved that the sense of
the mysterious was in this animal'
suffiCiently strong of itself to account
for his behavior.' Taking him into a.
carpletefl, room 'I blew a soap bubble,
and by' means of a , fitful. draught's
made it intermittinglr glide along
the floor. 'He became tt once in
tensely interested, but seemed una
ble to decide Whether or not' the
flimsy object was - alive.l„At first he
was veryrcautious aniVllkilotvcd it
only at a',llistanee, but as. • encour
aged him to examine the bubble more
closely, be approached it with ears
erect and tail- down, evidently with
much misgiving; and the moment it
happened to move he again retreated.
After a time, however during which
I always kept. at least Qne' bubble on
the pullet, he began to. gain, mote
courage;and the scientific spirit over
-coming hia_sense of the mysterious,
he eventually became bold enough
slowly to approach one of the bub
bles and nervously to touch it with
in-his paw. The, bubble' of course,
immediately vanished; arid I certain
-13, never saw 'astonishment more
stronglylepictetl." On then blowflg
another bebbleSl could not persuade
,him to appiwch it for a good while;
'but at last hescame and carefully em
tended his paw as before, - with the
lame result. , _fiat after this second
trial nothing world induce , him again

'which no coaxing would persuade

" One other example trillitiffiCe' to
show how sttongly developed was
the sense of the mysterious in this
animal. When \alone with him in a
room I once purposely tried the-'ef
fect on him of making a series of hor
rible grimaces. ' At first he thought
I was only making fun; but as I per
sistently disregarded his caresses and
whining while I Aontinned unnatur

emerged from his hiding place in
great joy at seeing, me again in niy

course, I refrained from making any
sounds. or gesticulations, lest he
might think I was, angry. His ac
tions, therefore ,, can only be explain
ed by bis horrified_ surprise at my ap
parently irrational_ behavior—that is,
by the violation of his ideas of uni

must be added, however, .that I have
tiied the same experiment on less in-.
