picion, and when it became known In the
neigbborhood Of Charles Pizzola's sausage
factory, In San Francisco, that he was buying
cats, the excitement was intense. The story
went that boys had captured dozens Of cats
for him, and that whenever one was sold to
him he cut off its tail with a cleaver, stuck
the stump into pail Of salt, and then turned
the manned brute into a room, from which it
never came out alive. A cat with its tail cut
clusion was that Pizzola was fattening cats
for sausage. He was arrested on a charge OF
cruelty and fined s25; but he proved that he
had bought only four cats, and had put them
TO catching rats IN his factory.

"Is The Earth Tubular"

Fifty years ago John Cleves
Symmes, of Ohio, a soldier of the
war of 1912. wrote and lectured on
his theory that the earth is hollow
open at the poles, and capable OF
being inhabited within. His views
were very much ridiculed at the time,
and 'Symmes' hole" became the
subject Of good deal of rough-and>
ready witticism. And now comes
Mr. Richard A. Proctor, the we'll
known English astronomer, whose
popular lectures in this country some
two years ago attracted so much att
tention. He reports to the English
papers that in making his personal
observations Of the recent transit of
Mercury he discovered a bright spot
on the dusk Of Mercury that appears
ed to him to be perfectly central and
of sensible magnitude. The eldest
daughter of Mr.. Proctor, who assist
ed him in making his observations.
described it las a mere point, and
quite central, as if the disk were q
round piece of black card and the
bright spot were half hole pierced
through it, A cloud passing over
it would dim its brightness. which
would return again when the cloud
floated by. The New York Scientific
american treats this remarkable dis>
cOvery in a semiseriOus vein. 1t
says. "The knowledge that Saturn
has planetary rings the fact that
when a milk-pail is whirled, like
Jupiter, the liquid moves outward,
leaving an opening in the centre,
who knows but Mercury has hole
through il, and that the bright spot
seen by MIR. Proctor was simply the
sun shining through it? If Mercury
be tubular. why may not the earth
be alsOs Reasthing OH the accepted
theory that the earth was originally
homogeneous fluid rotating mass,
Newton cOntended that its shape
would not be globular. but compress
ed or flattened at the poles, and that
the popular diameter ratio of 229
to $50. The earth measuring bxpe-
ditiOn to test this theory, which was
carried on during the ten years run
ming from 1885 to 1745, confirmed
the general accuracy of Newton's
reasoning, but found the polar CON-
preston to one in about 800 instead
of one in about $50. Any person
" no has examined through a stereo-
scope photograph of the moon can
not fail to have observed this pecu-
liar fattening. but no one, so far as
we arc aware, has ventured to assert
that it indicates an opening through
the centre of the planet 1t is
strange. nevertheless. to find at this
late day the old theory of Captain
Symmes coming to the front again.

now to pnt Gen. Pridemore for
