The discussion continues between those who think that all the acts of | the lower animals are satisfactorily | explained by the hypothesis of inher- ited instinct and those who hold that there is an element of intelligence, if | not of reasoning, in these things. W. L. Finley, in a work on American birds, mentions an observation of his ‘which may perhaps be explained either ‘way, but which in any case is interest- ing. A gull seized upon a clam and, rising to a height of about fifteen feet, | allowed it to fall upon hard ground. | The clam kept its mouth shut. Again the gull rose with it to the same height and dropped it once more, with the same result. This operation was re- peated fifteen times, when at last the shock had the desired effect, the shell | ‘was opened, and the gull enjoyed its dainty contents. The Bachelors’ Excuses. !

New York, Dec. 28.—A startling market movement that had all the earmarks of a “corner” came when | the common stock of the Rock Island company, within five minutes of the opening, rose from 50% to 81, when it settled back again, after heavy trad- ing, to 50. All this startling pyrotechnic ad- vance of thirty-one points and equally surprising precipitation to the open- ing sale price caused a shiver of fear on the stock exchange, which spread itself across the continent of the brokers’ wires, that a “corner” had ! been effected in the stock of the Rock Island company. A block of 1,800 shares was sold at 81, the top price. | Rock Island common closed at 49% last Friday. Fears of a corner caused heavy sell- jug throughout the securities list and there were numerous declines of one to three points. “Jt seems as though some one has | been selling something he did not own,” said a director of the Rock Is! and. “The controlling interests and officials of the company have nothing to do with the spectacular advance and it looks as if there was a con- siderable short interest in the stock and this interest was apparently bad ly squeezed.” H.
