Use OF Cats Whiskers.

Every one must have observed what
are usually called the whiskers on Q
cats upper lip. The use of these in q
state of nature is very important. They
are organs of touch. They are attached
to a bed of close glands under the skin,
md each of these long hairs is connect
ed with the nerves of the lip. The
slightest contnct of these whiskers with
any surrounding object Is thus felt
more distinctly by the animal, although
the hairs Of themselves have no feeling.
They stand ont on each side of the lion
as well as in the common cat, so that
from point to point they are equal to
the width OF the animals body. II We
imagine, therefore, lion stealing
through covert of wood in an lmper-
feet light, we shall at once see the use
Of thcae long hairs. They indicate to
him through the incest feeling any OBJ
stdcle which may present itself to the
passage of its body they prevent the
resting of the boughs and leaves which
would give warning to its prey, if he
were to attempt to pass through too
close bush, and thus, in conjunction
with The soft cushions of his feet, and
The fur upon which he treads, they en-
able him TO move toward his victim
with n stiffness even greater than that
Of a suake which creeps along the grass,
and is not perceived until it is coiled
around it's prey. These animals are all
beasts Of prey, aud thus We see how
even these seemingly useless hairs be-
como great helps to them, aud how
wisely God prepares every creature for
lis work.
