HEAT AND COLD. 



As no other form of animal life having a lan- 

 guage but the man, so as to be understood by one of 

 kind, there cannot be a more unjust decision arrived at 

 by man. It must be attributed to man's ignorance along 

 with a desire to hold himself above all forms of life 

 having languages of their own. 



Should the most enlightened of mankind of to-day 

 be placed in contact with some man belonging to a 

 tribe of whose language he had no knowledge, and at 

 the same time be confronted with a cackling hen, he 

 could not for his life distinguish between the language 

 of the man and the language of the hen. Yet he would 

 immediately say that the man was speaking, not because 

 he knew he was speaking in a language of measurable 

 thoughts, but because he was a man. The only reason 

 why the hen is not speaking is because she is not a man, 

 and nothing has any right to speak until the ego gives 

 permission, or until he teaches the animal to speak his 

 language, no other animal having any right to have a 

 language that is too deep for the wise one. 



Yet, as a matter of fact, no man that is willing to 

 do justice, and give credit where it is due, who has made 

 a study of animals, will doubt that they and each of 

 them have languages perfectly developed within their 

 respective families.
