HOW DO CATS FALL?

1.-THE French Academy of Sciences
spent almost an entire day this week
profoundly discussing the question,
why do cats fall on their feet. NJ.
Marcy read q paper and submitted
sixty photographs, depicting puss in
five fest. The first showed the cat
with feet in air making a series of des-
Perate appeals for succor; then SOM
ersault was turned, with more or less
grace; finally the feline reached the
ground on its four paws, and then,
with tail aloft, bolted into safe re-
treat.
There was a great deal of learned
discussion as to the cause of the phe-
nomenon. NJ. Marcy thought the
problem had been triumphantly
solved by puss in the first three feet of
the descent. NJ. Milne Edwards, NJ.
Berthelot and others maintained that
the cat uses the hand, or other object
causing the fall, as q leverage for
turning round, but this did not agree
with the early photographs, in which
there is no sign of rotation. NJ. Marcel
Deprez suggested that intestinal
movement might account for the
phenomenon. NJ. Marcy promised
to continue his experiments and to
prevent the possibility of leverage, by
tying the cat and cutting the string"
So writes the able Paris cores
pendent of the New York Sun.
If that august body, the French
Academy of Sciences, devotes an
entire day to the discussion of
falling cat, it would certainly not
be beneath the dignity of the emil
nent members of our own Social
Science Society to spend a day in
solving the problem. Nearly all of
them either own or control cats.
The President Of the Republic is
the owner OF one of the most |
intelligent TO be found on
the islands. Although the
spectacle OF this conservative
body of citizens, excitedly flinging
cats into the air, for the purpose of
solving a problem, which produced
several revolutions in the ancient
days of Egypt, might appear to
be cruel and frivolous, it is certain
that if it is done in the presence OF
the young and vigilant President of
the Humane Society, there will be
no undue harshness practiced.
Our own office cat is an expert
in these acts, and, in the interest
o. science, will, with Mr.. Dole's cat,
submit himself to the venerable
Of our home scien-
lists.
We believe, also, that an exhi-
Dition of this kind will tend to
divert the social activities of many
Of our acute and observing citizens,
both male and female, from the
widespread and fascinating occu-
,ation of decorating each others
haracters, to the harmless enter
ainment of cat precipitation.
We are in sore need of some new,
road and elevated highway, con-
tructed at a high altitude, over
hitch our thoughts may travel, and
here the air about it is so rarifed
nat the wicked insects of gossip
,nnot live. AS many OF US are L

THE CHURCH MILITANT.

The great victory over Tam
many, in New York city, is due, it
is claimed by many, to DR.. Park
bursts effective work, and it is
now proposed to endow, in honor
of him, a chair of municipal re-
form, in Columbia College.
It is not his victory alone, but
one in which the Madison Square
Presbyterian Church." has a large
share. He has made it Church
militant, in politics, as well as in
theology; more than this, he has
made it a Church of "Applied
Christianity" He has recon-
structed it into a new and powerful
social force, and is teaching the
world where the mission of the
Church lies, in a great measure.
About five years ago, from his
pulpit, he shook his fingers at his
comfortable congregation, which
represented over $50,OO0,00O, and
said: "You come here for comfort,
and not to discharge your Christian
duties. You make this Church a
social club out of which you get
religious recreation" This denun-
citation was heard all over the
United States. Good men, in his
congregation, felt very sad, as they |
usually do, when they are criti
cised, and some of them said, "we
must get another man." But the
were charmed by his elo-
quence, and made allowances"
for the vagaries of brilliant man.
He began his crusade, and some
Of them said, ''he is going out of
his proper sphere" and the bad
people said, ''the police and Tam
many will beat him." He was
alone in his work. He did evil
hat good might come. He broke
he law to better the law. He
Knocked aside the feeble mo-
alists, who were distressed
Eith doubts. One by one his
congregation joined him, and
nally they stood behind him,
nth work and money, and they
AIRED to say, under the banner of {
he Cross, political reformers may '

Examples are contagious. Rev. c
lr. Clarke raised the old banner.

How the News Was Received by Members

All day yesterday there was an almost

regret over Mr.. TIDbitts' decision TO leave

been cordial anu atfecuOnate, and that
he felt the kecneSt interest in the younS
men OF Richmond he said he had no
complaints TO make, nor had he anything
to conceal The fact was that he was
to take a rest
The duties of the position, he con-
tinued, were most eXacting, keeping him
at his post day and night, 10 say moth
ing of the mental strain and anxiety of
keeping up all the departments Of the
work on necessarily limited revenues He
knew that when be accepted the position
he took upon himself a great many re-
spOnsibilitles and self-sacrince. e. did
not shrink from the responsibilities, and
he had made the sacrifice willingly and
done all that duty eXacted, and that the
time had come when he could cOnscieu-
tiOusly lay down his work here and take
that rest which his health demanded.
Mr.. IDbitts said he felt assured that the
work would not suffer by reason Of his
retirement. but he thought a change
would be Of advantage and bring new
blood into the association He had i'm
view southern man, who was admirably
sUited to the position. and he felt sure
that the work would prosper in his hands.

storm.
The platform was very handsomely
decorated with elegant furniture, rare

Tie members Of the Usher Committee, in
charge of Mr.. Genet J.. Burruss, were i'm
full dress and had their hands full show
ing the subscribers Of the state Course
and their ladies' to their seats.
Promptly at sis o'clock, as announced
on the programme, Mr.. Lincoln presented
himself 10 his audience, which occupied
nearly every seat I'm the house.
Mr. Lincoln quite conVulSed his hear
