Cats in a Church Sbire.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
Church mice and church rats are
common enough, but church cats
are little out of the ordinary run.
The trio of felines which b. +.
Woodbury., a carpenter of Brighton,
found in the sDire of the First
Parish church of Brighton yester-
day afternoon are of a species en-
tirely unknown. About a year
ago the property of the First Parish
was sold to Fred Williams, man
ager of the Sunbeam Opera com
pany. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Woodbury. began to tear down the
old spire of the church. He first
tore off a wire screen that inclosed
the beifry. This screening has been
in place for a number of years.
When it was removed three most
peculiar cats were seen to jump
from rafter to rafter and ascend to
the peak of the spire. They are
exceedingly wild and their appear
ance is extremely peculiar. They
are covered with a coat Of long
shaggy fur, their teeth are long and
almost like tusks. On the nose Of
each is a large tuft of hair resem-
bling a tusk. They are very agile,
and spring from rafter to rafter
with the ease of a squirrel. 1t
is not known how they got into
the spire or how long they have
been there, but they must have
been confined in their aerial abode
for many years. About a year ago
a strange singing noise was heard
coming from the spire at frequent
intervals. and it was thought it
was caused by the swinging of the
vane. 1t is now believed that it
was made by these animals. How
they have managed to live is unac-
countable, unless they catch the
.sparrows and swallows that abound
in the spire. 1t is not known how
their supply of water was obtained.
Mr.. Woodbury. will endeavOr to
capture them.

Alleged Suicide of Rattlers.

Writing to Nature on the above
subject Prof. Ray Lancaster says:
"The letter of Mr.. Edward r. HOl-
den on the subject is extremely in
teresting. 1t appears that he, like
other individuals who have imag-
ined that they have witnessed the
suicide of scorpions, has fallen into
the error $50 common to the inter-
probation of biological as distin-
guished from Astrological phenom-
ena), of stating his differences and
beliefs as though they'were observa-
tions. The"instance which occurred
before my eyes, Ito quote his words
which remind one of the old her.
balist, Gerord) was simply that of
snake biting itself when impris-
oned in a jar Of water. That the
blow was deliberate, intentional,
and of a suicidal purpose is pure
speculation, and nothing occurred
before Mr.. Hold9n's eyes to war
rant his entertaining such a no.
ton. Had Mr.. Holden been aware
that the poison of the rattlesnake
has little or no effect upon another
rattlesnake nor upon the individ-
ual from which the p),s)n is fu :
nished, he would probably have
been less ready to conclud g
that the bite was one
of suicidal purpose. He
would then perhaps have inquired
as to the depth to which the bite
penetrated into the tissues of the
snake, and how far such a super
fetal bite as a snake can inflict up
on a part of its own body is likely,
in the absence of any poisonous ac-
ton, to be seriously injurious to
the snake. In this case, as in that
of the scorpion confined in a fiery
circle (eXperimentally stsdied both
by myself and by Prof. Bourne, of
Madras, and reported on in the pro-
ceedings of the LinnRan and the
Royal SOcieties), the spasmOdiC
struggles of an animal artificially
confined and tortured have been,
az we clearly demonstrated, mis-
taken for efforts at self-destructiOn,
The biting of his own body by a
snake may be justly compared
with the biting the dust attributed
to men who die in hand-to-han
struggle, or to the biting of their
own hand or arm by unhealthy
children when suffering from a
parOXysm of anger"

She was fully impressed with the
fact that she had a duty to per-
form, and she had the courage to
devote herself entirely to this du-
ty. But she always insisted upon
early independence. She did not
approve Of chicks clinging to
her and depending upon
her when they were able to
"scratch" for themselves, and
hence she made it a rule to "wean"
them carly. She always gave
them a parting lecture. She look
ed very wise and solemn, and "ca-
cawed" in a peculiar tone, while
the chicks stood about her in a
sort of dazed, sorrowfui way, Won
dering, no doubt, what would be-
come of them. One talk" ended
the matter. She went off to roost
alone, and the deserted chicks hud-
died together, "vaguely thinking"
what a cold world.
Another interesting characters
tic about this old grandmother hen
was her solicitude for young hens
who were just beginning to eXpe-
rience the first inclination to sit.
She would stand before their nests
and "talk" in the most earnest, sub
dued tones; her vocabulary must
have been quite extensive, for she
could continue without any hesita-
tion for such long time. 1t al
ways seemed to me that she was
relating her own experience and
giving advice to the young and
inexperienced of her kind. Ger
tainly the young hens APP
peared to listen with all the re-
spect possible, they no doubt
thought that she magnified the
cares and responsibilities at least
never dissuaded a young hen from
her resolution to sit. | agree with
the writer in the last issue of
science, who says "there is no
need of going beyond the barn
yard to hear a definite animal vO-
cabulary of a considerable number

SILVER AND GOLD.

To explain the Treasury Note it will
be necessary to examine a little more
critically into the nature of the silver
dollar. 1t is one of the most ancient
landmarks of the nation. After the adop-
ton of the constitution Congress, in
1892, decreed silver dollar of 81 IA
grains of pure silver, little lighter than
the old silver dollar of the Confederation.
ANY private individual could take 81
IA grains of silver to the mint and
have it coined into dollar by paying
a slight mint charge. Thus with the
ancient dollar there went the quality of
free coinage" as well as of legal tender.
The silver dollar stood on the same
basis as the gold dollar.
In 1884 (by the same law which changed
our ratio from to Is to 1888 J the
weight of the silver dollar was changed
to 412 1-2sgrains of. silver alleged with
The Portland daily press., 1893-08-14

both Senate and House TO have passed a
free coinage bill over Presidential veto,
had one been given In this juncture
the friends of sound money brought for
ward compromise bill, as the only
means of averting free coinage. This was
in 1850, when the value of the silver in
the dollar had falln to about rs CENTS
The compromise measure has since been
known as the Sherman law" although
MIR. Sherman was not the author This
law established the "Treasury note"
which in it's relations is an interesting
study.
The Portland daily press., 1893-08-14

Mr.. Bland is the most conspicuous and
perhaps the ablest of the extreme silver
men in the House. His speech in the
House on Friday, therefore, is probably
an accurate indication of their opinions
and their feelings. That being so, it fol-
lows that there will be no surrender by
the silver men and no compromise which
will degrade silver. They are evidently
in frame of mind to fight till the last
ditch. Their loyalty to silver is much
stronger than their loyalty to party, and
the latter will be sacrificed long before
the former. This fact is not going to be
without effect in the House. AT present
the great majority of the silver men out
side of the silver producing states are
identified with the Democratic party.
Their secession will leave very big hole.
and even the Eastern Democrats will not
face that prospect with indifference. Mr..
BANDS threat to withdraw from the
Democratic party if silver is degraded
and take his followers with him is by no
means an empty one. 1t means good
deal to the Democratic party in the West
and South.
