INDICATIONS OF EARTHQUAKES. The
following extraordinary anecdote of the
sensibility of cats to approaching danger
from earthquakes, is well authenticated.
In the year 1893, two cats belonging 10
merchant of Messina, in Sicily, announced
to him the approach of an earthquake. Be-
fore the first shock was felt, these two ami
mails seemed anxiously to work through the
door Of room in which they were. Their
master observing their fruitess efforts.
opened the door for them. At a second and
third door, which they likewise found shut,
they repeated their efforts, and, on being
set completely at liberty, they ran straight
through the street, and out of the gate OF
the town. The merchant, whose curiosity
was excited by this strange conduct of the
cats followed them into the fields, where he
again saw them scratching and burrowing
in the earth. Soon after, there was a VIC.
lent shock of an earthquake, and many Of
the houses Of the city fell down, of which
number the merchants was one; SO that he
was indebted for his life to the singular
foresight of the cats.
