Laughing is believed to be peculiar to man, but the same is not true of weeping which is a manifestation of emotion that is met in several animals. Among the creatures that weep most easily are the ruminants. All hunters know that the stag weeps. and we are also assured that the beer sheds tears when it sees its last hour approaching. The giraffe is not less sensitive, and regards with ‘tearfull eyes tle hunter who has wounded it. Dogs weep very easily. The same is true of certain mon- keys. As for the elephant, there is abun- Jant evidence of the ease with which it weeps. 1t sheds tears when wounded. or when it sces that it eannot escape its tears roll from its eyes like those of a human being in affliction. —lbid.
