CATS WITHOUT TAILS.
Curious Creatures Found Only at Long
Beach, n j.


Beach. n. j.
Seven miles from the mainland on
which the village of Beach Haven, N
j., stands is narrow strip of land
which is called Long Beach.
On it there IS the only tribe of tail
less cats Ia this country. Early in this
century 3 large English ship was
wrecked on that part of the Jersey
coast. The sailors were saved, and so
were a lot of cats on board They
came from the Isle of Man in the Irish
sea. and belonged to curious breed
found only on that island. known as
Manx cats and born without tails.
At first the animals were quite tame
and frequented the vicinity of the
lighthouse, where they nightly held
open-air concerts that were not
musical enough to merit the apprecia-
tion of the lightkeepers, and ultimate
~ resulted in their being driven away.
Then they took to the woods and man
aged to subsist during the first winter
on birds, thousands of which lived in
the swamps. The cats increased rap
idly and in few years numbers of
them could be found almost every
where in Barnegat's woods.
Their outdoor life made them saw
age, and the breed seems to have in
creased in both size and courage, for
eventually they became so fierce that
they would stand and show fight to-
ward anyone who invaded their homes.
They are curious-lool1ipg creatures.
The front legs being shorter than their
hind legs causes them to make big
jumps as they go about, yet it is said
they can easily outrun an ordinary
dog.
The cats make good fishers, and
when fish are plentiful they go along
the beach, and as the breakers run up
on the shore, carrying with them small
butterfish. mullets and silver bait, they
jump into the shallow water and with
their sharp claws pin a fish to the sand,
and the outgoing wave leaves their
prey exposed. Then, before another
breaker can roll in, they catch the fish
and take it mp on the dry beach and
devour It.
At times dozens of these strange
looking eats can he seen on the beach
making meals of the surf clans that
are cast up by the tide.
For the past twenty or thirty years
Long Beach has been a famous sum
mer resort. Many of the cats have
been killed by tourists or frightened
back into the swamps. Occasionally
some more humane visitor endeavored
to tame one of the animals. 1t is hard

An Oregon farmer was returning
from meeting one Sunday morning
when his dog started in pursuit of
something on the other side of wire
fence inclosing pear orchard. The
farmer jumped over the fence and, to
his surprise, saw an eagle just spread

ately fastened on to the birds leg and
the farmer seized it around the neck.
