DOG'S ACUTE NOSE

UNCANNY RECOVERY OF OBJECTS

TESTS BY EXPERT PSYCHOLOGIST

Rajah, an Alsatian dog owned by Constable J. Robertson, of Meth- ven, a contry town in Canterbury. New Zealand, has amazed and my- stifled everybody who has seen him by his remarkable sagacity. The animal does many tricks that are quite familiar, but it is his extra- ordinary ability to find small articles hidden while ho is locked up which has baffled those who have seen him in action.

Many bellove that the dog has the faculty of mental iolepathy, because Rajah, in hunting for the hidden object, does not approach it on the track of the person who has hidden it.

Thin aroused the interest of Dr. C. E. Beeby, lecturer in psychology at Canterbury University College, who recently visited Methven and Bubjected Rafah to some exhaustive tests, basod on the following possible explanations;

(1) that the dog found the articles by following the scent of the person hiding them;

smell (2) that he possessed a plan of the field in which the tricks were done;

(3) that he held a visual plan; (4) that he was directed by con- scious or unconscious signs from his master or observers:

DEATH

CLAIM OF VETERAN EXPLORER

LINGERING LIVES OF PAIN

A remarkable statement on his "philosophy about death" is made by Mr. W. J. A. Grant, the veteran explorer, of Hilleradon, Cullomp- ton, Devon, who not very long age was "given but a short time to live."

It would seem the custom," he writes in a letter to the Press, "to preserva life in all circumstances, but surely it would be better to give the patient a double dose of i sleeping draught and let him or her pass quietly away in cases of incurable cancer.

Hore I am "Take my own case. over 83 years old, and no use to anybody and giving a lot of trou. ble, and I should be only too happy to be given a double dose of alcon- ing draught, being always in pain and unable to read. I would not take a sleeping draught myself as I am dead against suicide on prin- ciple."

an interview Mr. Grant in fileclared that these were his views. "because," he added, "I have al ways felt it is a great shame to keep patients for whom there is no hope of recovery lingering on in pain for weeks and weeks, months and months, when just a double dose of sleeping draught would put them quietly and painlessly to their rest,
