Feline Electricity.

The most remarkable invention in this
or any other age is duly chronicled in
the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. 1t is
based upon the electrical properties of
the fur of cats. With battery Of 1913
cats the inventor succeeded in generat-
ing current so strong that it instantly
polarized all the lightning-arresters and
demagnetized all the switch-boards on
the way to Omaha. The operators all
along the line were terror-stricken, and
rushed from their offices. Eighteen
hundred and nine glass insulators We're
broken and as many poles shattered as
if by lightning. A great deal more
damage would doubtless have resulted
if the copper rod over which the battery
was suspended had not suddenly be-
come red hot and burned the tails off
the eats and let them drop. When only
moderately strong current of electrici-
ty is desired, it is obtained by densely
populating the small floor of the cage,
which is made of sheet copper, that be-
ing the best conductor. The electricity
thus generated charges the copper floor
of the cage, and as it can not pass off to
the ground through the glass insulators
it seeks its exit over the wires that are
connected by soldering to each end of
the copper plate. For generating
powerful current, the eats are carefully
and securely tied tail to tail in pairs, and
by the loop thus formed they are sus-
pended from a heavy insulated copper
rod that passes longitudinally through
the cage, to the ends OF which are at
tached the telegraph or telephone lines.
