322 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



"Ants have cemeteries and funeral processions. Two 

 ants bear the corpse at the head of the procession, which 

 is followed two by two. When the first two are tired the 

 next two take up the body and on arriving at the burial 

 ground, they dig a grave and inter the body. A lady, 

 wishing to see a funeral procession, killed a number of 

 soldier ants. She watched the procession as above de- 

 scribed. On reaching the cemetery, six or seven of the 

 ants refused to help dig the graves. These ants were 

 caught, brought back and killed at once, like deserters 

 from an army. A trench was then dug, in which they 

 were all buried together. It was observed that ants 

 would not bury their slaves in the cemetery used for the 

 masters. Darwin called the brain of an ant one of the 

 most marvelous atoms of matter in the world." 



The dog that ran to the potato patch knew from asso- 

 ciation with the expression "cow" and "potato patch" 

 what was needed or wanted, he remembered it. From 

 the dog's recollection of his experience with the rabbit, 

 he decided that it was useless to try to catch him as he 

 would beat him to the hole, so he decided to try this new 

 experiment and take the rabbit by surprise. 



In hunting jack-rabbits, every one knows the trick of 

 the jack, to always turn square to one side as soon as he 

 goes over a hill and out of sight. This trick will always 

 fool both man and dog. 



The pig could observe and remember that when he 

 shook the tree an apple would fall. His actions were 

 based on previous experience fixed in his memory. The 

 pig reasoned from experience just as man would. The 

 animals, like man, are able to reason and learn from ex- 

 perience. In their place in life they are just as intelligent 

 as the German Emperor or the Judge of the Supreme 

 Court of the United States.
