SWIMMING CATS.
The Popular Notion Of Feline Antipathy
to Water Not Based on Fact.

Though it seems somewhat difficult
the Nile trained their cats not only to
hunt game. but 10 retrieve it from the
water. the hunting scenes depicted on
the walls of Thebes afford proof of the
Egyptian cats service in this respect.
In one of these representations puss
is depicted in the act of selling bird
that has been brought down by the
marksman in the boat; while in the
other scene the eats are seen in the
boat ready for their work.
Thus it appears from these ancient
illustrations of field and other sports
that the Egyptians Were able to train
their domestic cats to act in the same
way as our modern retriever dogs do.
1t is generally supposed that nothing
will induce cat to enter water. but
this is clearly fallacy, like many other
popular notions about the animal
world. The tiger is an excellent swim
mer. as many have TO und to their cost:
and so the cat, another member of the
tiger family, can swim equally well ii
it has any occasion to exercise its
powers, either in quest of prey or to eff.
feet its escape from some enemy.
AS cats are exceedingly fond of fish,
they will often drag them alive out OF
their native element whenever they
! get the chance.
They have even been known to help
themselves out of aquaria that have
been left uncovered, and on moonlight
nights they may be seen watching for
the unwary occupants of fish pond.

SOME SANITARY ASPECTS OF
BREAD MAKING.
BY CYRUS EDISON. N. D.,

Health Commissioner, New York City.
1t is necessary, if one would under
stand the sanitary aspects of bread
making, to fully comprehend the pres
ent theory held by scientists of germs
and the part played by them in disease.
The theory of disease germs is merely
the name given to the knowledge had
of those germs by medical men.
knowledge which is the result of in
Vulnerable experiments. Being this,
the old term of theory" has become
a misnomer. a germ of a disease is a
plant. so small that / do not know
how to express intelligibly to the gem
eral reader its lack of size. When this
germ is introduced into the blood
or tissues of the body, its ac-
ton appears to be analogous to that
which takes place when yeast is added
to dough. 1t attacks certain elements
of the blood or tissues, and destroys
them, at the same time producing new
substances.
