Curious Illusion of the Vision.

the French Academy of Sciences to a curious

the apparent oscillation or swinging Of stars

ParalyEing the Cats.

Excise Commissioner Morris of the old
board lives on West Twenty first street. Four
years ago cats drove people from their homes
in this street by their midnight music. Com
missioner Morris owes the peace of his home
to his son. who is an amateur electrician. He
put wide board on top of the back fence to
better facilitate cat locomotion. He then ran
six bare telegraph wires along the top of this
board, a very little distance apart. He con
nectad these wires with the strong battery in
the house. and key, within easy reach, con
nected the battery with the wires on the
fence.
With darkness the cats came When a
few vigorous notes gave indication of a
prOmislngly loud concert, Wettmore touched
the key. One long, loud yell followed -Four
cats were seen several feet above the fence
paving the air, and all fell down in the yard
quite paralyzed. One by one they got up,
smelle,l of their paws, murmured a new, and
quietly stole away. This was kept up for
several nights, until every cat i'll the block
had tasted lightning.
Now, whenever a cat finds it necessary to
cross the dangerous path, he first puts paw
gently out upon the wires, and crosses very
slowly, with every muscle wound up for q
spring to the ground at the first suspicion OF
shock-New York Star.

ing of years, they have been known to daily
with the prohibition party. but just as soon as

old republican standard, true as steel. Scratch
an Ohio republican and YOU won't ind mug

not only pure, but it is waging battle against
impurity, coal oil corruption and fraud.
