NEW USE FOR CATS.
.Isre II a Man Who Extracts Their Elec-
tricity to Run a Factory.

Il had n large cork and bung factory
In Grand avenue, and needed power
to run my machinery, writes a Mil
waukeean in harper'S Weekly. You
know, of course, that there is an inn
mense amount of stored-up electricity
in a cat. The problem for inventors
has been TO invent a way to extract i.
prottably. In the rear of NV factory
CONSTRUCTED a one-story circular build
ing, some sixty feet in diameter. On
the floor of this | coiled q glass pipe
six inches in diameter. The first coil
ran around the outside Of the room,
the coils gradually growing smaller.
till at last, in the center, was no larger
than this table. 1t gave me ONE
thing like a mile Of pipe. The top and
sides of this pipe were lined with
rather stiff ha~ir-brushes, the b~ristles
being 4 little more than an inch in
length.
AT that time Milwaukee was over
run with cats. 1t was impossible 10
sleep nights. | put "A notice ~ the pa
per that would pay 10 cents a dozen
for prime cats, delivered at my fact.
Dry. ! got sixty dozen the first day,
and stored them in the basement Of
the power-house. The motor operated
thus: Placing in the outer end of the
glass pipe an imitation rat, made Q!
rubber and propelled by a small in-
terror storage battery, l would then
adjust a cat Immediately behind it.
The rubber rat would start off at a
terrific rate-it was made 10 30 through
the mile Of tubing in from two to three
miputes-and the cat OF course, fol-
lowed %furiously. thinking to catch the
supposed animal throughout the entire
distance. Gentlemen. it was exciting
TO watch a healthy. active cat whip
about those spirals, with the mechan-
zeal rat about a foot ahead, and going
like q cannon-ball. The cats back
and sides rubbed against the brushes,
and her electricity was thus extracted.
With n storage battery. and by sendin.
a cat through every five minutes | gen
Grated enough electricity to operate
my entire plant, light my factory, and
sell power TO run neighbortng passen-
ger elevators aud small machinery.
1t also took the yowl out of the cats,
and gradually the city became quiet.
AT the end Of week a cat could be
caught and used again.
