The French Academy of Sciences, II
very learned body. has lately had under
examination and discussion a question
of decided interest. This question Is:
''Why does cat always fall on it's
feetE The old answer, "In order that
It shall not break its back" does not
serve in this Investigation. The Acad-
envy must know not only the zeal rea-
son, but the precise method by which
cat when dropped feet upward, man
ages TO turn over instantly In Bhe air,
with no object to brace itself against
in order to procure the musculaB reac-
tion which seems 10 he necessary for the
revolution.
TO assist its stuGy. the Academy had
one Of IT'S members prepare series Of
instantaneous photographs, showing Il
cat in various stages of fall FROM u
considerable heig1t These photo
graphs were obtained under the person
al inspection Of members of the A0arl-
envy, and several successive drops
which the unfortunate eats must mwe
been totally unable to account for, were
necessary
The photographs. it may be mention
ed, failed to establish anything, except
that the cat actually turned over in Uhe
air. AS to how She did it they afford no
clue. And as it was already known
THAI she did it, the camera may be said
to have contributed nothing toward 5he
solution OF the problem.
The soEiety neNd set itself about set,
Ting the matter by discussion. Several
members presented their theories ANIL
compared notes. The laws of meclinn-
les and geometry were applied tor die
known movements of the cat, WITH no
other effect than to prove that ~ eat
cannot possibly turn over in the air
which. however. 1T is well established
that she does.
One academician maintained that the
animal is able to displace it's internal
organs in such Il way as to affect its
center of gravity while in the air. caus-
ing ii to turn by new center of weight

placement, so to throw the weight that
its back comes uppermOst.
This claim. however, was bat an I'M
proved theory. Another man insisted
that. at the very instant when the cat
is dropped, say. from the hands Of the
man who holds her, feet upperm0st,
she is able to make an impNlsive move
ment, using the operators hands to
push against, as it were. At all events
the cat begins to turn Instantly upon
being let go.
However, it has against it the fact
that the cat turns successfully when
there are no hands or other objects 10
push agalnst-when, for instance she
is firmly held, back downward. by
threads, which are cut at the right mo-
ment, allowing her to drop suddenly.
Further experiments are to be made.
They will be found interesting-tO all
except the cats which are used in them.

rHE EuruRE or CHINA.
Possibly She May Menace the Entire
Civilized World.


Inside Of six months, the military eX-
perts assert, Japan will have conquer
ed China and have perhaps made terms
for evacuatlng the country. And 1t
may be that so far as military opera
lions are concerned this prediction will
be verified But that will not be tho
conclusion Of the matter. 1t Is not Inn
probable that from her adversely Chi
M will obtain lesson that will prove
valuable to herself and dangerous to the
rest Of mankind. The victory Of japan
will operate to convince the Chinese Of
two particular points. The first of these
Is that as country China Is behind the
times. The second Ii that the wisdom
Of warfare at least lies beyond the bor-
ders Of the kingdom. Once learned,
this lesson will result in Il revolution
not of force, but Of ideas. China will
cease looking backward, will face about
and prepare for the future. TO secure
revenge upon Japan will be an impell-
Ing and inspiring motive. Out Of pres
ent conditions, therefore, may come
about a regeneration of China, that will
be limitless In its dangerous posslblli-
ties.
That such Il regeneration Is possible
cannot be combatted. Japan herself
within the last twenty-five years has
evolved from condition Of ignorance
and barbarlsm as dense as that of Chi
ma. The proximity Of Japan and the re-
suit of her policy will act as an incent-
i've to China to adopt new pOllcy-the
successful policy of Japan.
Assuming that China should within
the next twenty-five years undergo the
same sort of transformation that has
made Japan the first power in the East,
what would be the result? A nation Of
llmltless financial and physical resour-
eos, having 10000, 600 of people accus-
toned to obedience to state authority,
capable Of putting 25,000,000 soldiers
in the field, with enough left to man
navy as great as all that of Europe COM
bined. Coupling this with the fact that
the men Of China are easily capable Of
training, Injured to hardship, often
bloodthirsty and fanatical, points to Il
conclusion that is not a welcome one.
The result of the conquest Of China
by Japan is present glory, but it may
in time cost Japan her existence and in
wife calamity upon western civilization.

Rich Red Blood

In the body of an adult person there are
about IS pounds Of blood.
The blood has as Its most important ele-
ments small round corpusclcs, red and white,
in proportion of about 800 red to white one
II the number Of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased the

necessary TO sustain the health and nerve
strength OF the body.
