White Cats are Generally Deaf.

Harrison Weir, President of the Ma
tional Cat Club, England, says in his
book, "Our Cats" that a white cat of
the long or the short haired breed is like
ly to be deaf. Should it have blue eyes,
the fancy color, it is almost certain to be
deaf.
Mr.. Weir, at cat show, purchased a
white cat, beauty, loving and gentle,
for the low price OF two guineas. When
he got it home the cat proved to be
''stone deaf"
Then the trouble began. If shut out
of the dining room, its cry for admission
could be heard all over the house, for,
being deaf, it did not know the noise it
made, thongh its owner often wished
that it could hear its own cry. When it
called out as it sat on his lap, it called
out with ten-cat power and its com
manding voice caused it to be named the
'tColonel."
One day friend saw the "beauty, !"
and admired it so much as to accept it as
gift, even after being told that it was
''stone deaf" A few days after Mr..
Weir received letter from the friend,
offering to return the loud-voiced cat.
"Give it to any one you please, but
don't return it to US, was the reply.
The Colonel was given to a deaf old
lady, and both were happy.

Eye-Stones.

Eye-stones are really portions of the
covering of certain shell fish. They ara
found at the opening of the shsll, and
serve to close the entrance when the ami
NAL draws itself within. They are Of
various kinds, but those used as eye
stones are hard, stony bodies, about the
size of split peas, onethird to one-sixth
of an inch in diameter, little longer
than broad, having one surface plane and
the other convex.
When they have been worn by the ac-
tion of the sea, they are very smooth and
shining. Like other shells, they are
composed of carbonate of lime. When
placed in weak acid, such as vinegar, a
chemical change takes place, carbonate
acid gas is given off, and in its escape
produces the movements which are popu-
larly supposed to show that the stone is
'talive.n
When one of these stones is placed
under the eyelid, at the outer corner, the
natural movements of the lid in winking
push it gradually toward the inner side,
and when it comes in contact with the
mote which is causing the irritation, this
is carried along and finally expelled with
it. The belief that such stones have a
peculiar detective power, and move about
in the eye until they find and remove the
irritating substance for which they have
been ''sent," has no foundation in fact.
1t is interesting to know that in the
lining membrane of the stomach of the
crawfish there are found small bodies
which go under the name of "crab's eyes"
and look not unlike the true eye-stones.
They have sometimes been mistaken for
them, and presumably would serve a
similar purpose Scientific American.

Testing Nose Capacity.

DIR. Zwardemaker, Of Utrecht, has been
experimenting with simple arrange.
ment he has devised for measuring the
sensibility to smell, says the Montreal
Canada Star.
1t is simply glass tube, turned up to
enter the nostril, and containing slid,
ing cylinder OF material that allows the
passage of odors.
The extent to which the cylinder is
projected beyond this tube that is, prac-
tically, the amount of surface Of it ex-
posed to an odor-- would measure the
keenness of scent of different people, or
the relative strength Of odor from differ
ent sources to the same observer.
Trying one tubein each nostril, each
exposed to a different odor, it was found
that only one could be perceived. In
some cases one odor seemed to equal the
other in effect, and then there was no
sensation Of smell at all.

Strange Story of the Supernatural.

The strangest story of the supernatural
comes from Wales anent the colliery ex-
plosion at Morfa. 1t is said that recently
the iremen of the pit-men who are al
ways selected for gravity and response
bility- heard inexplicable noises or shout
ings Gas they are described) in the work
ings, and that these noises were heard
not by one person alone, but by several,
when in company examining the pit.
furthermore, miner, returning to the
surface, felt himself to be accompanied
by some invisible presence, which, al
though not seen by him, was seen by the
banksman to land on the bank and make
its way hastily to the she'd where after
the explosion the dead and dying we're
carried. These strange phenomena were
spoken of and freely discussed before the
explosion, and number of the miners
refused to go down into the mine, in
spite of all threats to prosecute them if
they persisted in their refusal. Other
curious instances of warnings are being
told which would yield matter of interest
to the student either Of folk lore or of
spirit lore. - Chicago News.
