DOG'S ACUTE *NOSE

UNCANNY RECOVERY OF OBJECTS

TESTS BY EXPERT PSYCHOLOGIST

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

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

This aroused the interest of Dr. C. E. Beeby, lecturer in paychology at Canterbury University College, who recently visited Methven and subjected Rajah to some exhaustive tests, based on the following possible explanations:

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

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

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

HIDDEN PEGS,

LINGERING LIVES! OF PAIN

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

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

"Take my own case. Here I am over 88 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 sleep- 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."

!

Mr. Grant in an Interview dcclared 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.
