WHY DO CATS FAIL On THEIR FEEle
From tie Times.

The Academy Of Sciences on Tuesday dis
cussed the reason why cats fall oil their feet.
NJ. Marcy submitted 60 instantaneous photo
graphs Of a cat falling five feet, the first
showing the feet uppernost next some showing
cOnvulsive movements Of the feet then somein
which the cat is gradually righting itself,
and lastly, one in which its four feet touch
the ground. NJ. Guyon argued in favour Of a
displacement of the legs which seems tam
tsmount to saying that the feet get mdermo-t
because they get undermost. Nj. Milne Ed
wards. NJ Berthelot and others maintained
that the eat asses the hAnd or object causing
the fall as a Leverage for turning round. but
this did not agree with the carly photographs,
in which there was ua sign Of rotation. VI.
Marcel Deprez suggested that an intestinal
movement might account for a Phenomenon
contrary to all known laws. NJ. Marcy pro.
