A Useful Cat.

The domestic cat has often been
quoted as one of the readiest sources
whence frictional electricity may be
derived, but in its latest connection
with electricity it plays an entirely
new part. a building in a Massa-
chusetts town had been wired for cleo
trio lights, says the Electrical Review,
and it was found necessary to pass an
electric wire from one side of room
to the other under the floor. This was
likely to entail serious loss of time
and labor in excavating. but an in
genious ruse got rid of the difficulty.
One of the men hit upon the plan of
making hole at each end OF the room
Then taking long piece of fine twlne
he tied it around the body of live kit
ten, which was placed through one OF
the holes into the space under the floor.
BY little coaXing the eat soon found
her way to the hole at the other end of
the room, where the light was shining
in. Thus the the Irvine was passed
through and attached to stronger
piece, which was in its turn drawn
through, and made the means of draw
ing the wire right through the OPEN

A Yankee Translation.

Some years ago a remarkable name
appeared on the programme of 4 con-
cert given by the band of the academy
at West Point. The bandmaster had
sent to the adjutant a list of the pieces
to be performed, that copies might be
made from it.
The first selection on the programme
was the overture, ''Feisenmuhle," the
English of which is ''dill on the Rock. :"
The adjutant. who was a downright
Yankee, and had a firmly-rooted oojec-
ton to all foreign tongues, made a
''free translation" into English. 80 that,
as he said, folks could have some idea
what they were hearing"
The band-master's disgust can easily
be imagined when he read as the first
number on the printed programme:
1. Overture: ''The Eenced-in-Mule, 4"
Reissiger.
Undoubtedly the adjutant thought
everyone present could understand the
general design of such an overture,
even if unfamiliar with the workings
OF German composers mind.-Youth's
