Why the Ca, r.li. on It. re...


An experimenter named Marcy ha.
been studying this problem, by taking
sixty instantaneous photographs per
second of u falling cat from different
points of view. He finds that a cat al
ways falls on its feet, providing 1t has
a distance of yard to fall in and en-
able 1t to make a half turn In the air,
so as to get its feet undermost. II
holds its paws vertically, and manages
to preserve this position during the rest
of its fall, in spite of the initial move
ment Of rotation taken by Its body,
The mechanical explanation is simply
that the animal, by thrusting forward
Its left limb, shifts the center of grav,
ity of the whole body, so as to make II
revolve upon the axis of the spine uB-
til the feet reach the ground. An old
solution of the question is that the
legs of cat are so long that wheD
stretched out they overbalance the
body. Moreover, n cat does not hurt
Itself by fall from a height, not only
because 1t invariably falls on Its feet.
but, because the structure of cats

uaea for Old Carka.

Corks are thrown away in great guam
titles. and very few people think that
there is any value attached to that ma
terial after it has served its purpose
once as stopper Of bottle. Neverthe-
less, 1t has become one OF the most
valuable components Of city's refuse.
Great quantities of old corks are now
used again in the manufacture of insu-
lating covers Of steam pipes and boil
ers. of ice-boxes and ice-houses. and
other apparatus to be protected from
the influence Of heat. Powdered cork
is very useful for filling in horse-col-
lars: and the very latest application
of this material is the filling in of pneu-
matte tires with cork shavings. Mats
for bathrooms are made Of cork ex-
clusively, and 1t also enters into the
composition Of linoleum. Cheap life
preservers are now filled exclusiv ,ly
with bottle corks cut into little pieces.

According to NJ. Vendrout, Of Calais.
the North Of France cultivates con-
siderable quantity OF lentils for animal
food. especially for horses. On almost
every farm people SOW in September
mixture called "hivernache." composed
OF one-half rye, one-fourth Of vetch and
one-fourth OF lentils. The crop is ripe
In July. and In the autumn Is reported
to be one OF the best stimulants for
horses when they have the heaviest
work to do. 1t spares the oats at the
moment when oats are scarce. the old
stock being exhausted and the new
crop not fit for feed. This mixture
offers great advantages. because the rye
has grain at the top of the bunch, vetch
in the middle. and the lentils. about
one foot high, give rich food at the
bottom Of the bunch. where straw has
rarely any nutritive qualities. II It is
given whole the animals find every
where good food. and II 1t is chopped.
tive mixture is more regular. Sometimes
COWS are fed with this "hivernache"
when the meadow grasses are scarce
and poor and the milk at once becomes
mece plentiful and richer in butter.

Most of the worlds supply of cam
pkor comes from Japan and Formosa.
o. late years the demand has begun to
e&ceed the supply, and the question has
arisen how the latter may be main
tanned. One of the reasons why cam
phor is becoming scarcer and dearer Is
said to be that 1t is extensively used
in the manufacture of celluloid At
present camphor is mainly produced
from the socalled camphor-tree, which
attains gigantic size in Japan, one
specimen recently measured being 115
faet tall, and having a trunk over 141s
, feet in diameter. The tree is common
In China but as yet the production Of
cnmphor in that country is very lin
lied. The camphor-tree is member
Of the laurel family, and Is related in
genus to the cinnamon-tree. 1t is said
thnt camphor can be produced from
other species Of trees. In Borpeo a
very aromatic camphor Is obtained
from the natural deposits of gum on

Thu Chnna Tree

Chone,is the name given by the Kan
kkas to tree which fiourishes in New
Caledonia. 1t reaches height of forty
feet, and puts forth beautiful white
Howers, having perfume like that of
Jasmine. The chone is the Cerbera
manghas Of the botanist, and belongs
to the family Of the Apocynaceae. 1t
yields milky Juice, like the india
rubber tree, which, when evaporated,
leaves a black gum, that softens in
boiling water like gutta-percha. 1t is
impermeable, like gutta-percha, but has
the advantage of dissolving in petro-
leum. The solution painted or fioated
on wood and evaporated leaves a thin
layer OF the gum. impervious to water.
Leather impregnated with the gumTcan

New York, Aug. 31.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
"The rebels must be defeated before
the year or we are lost" Premier Can
oyas cabled to General Weyler.
The despairIpg dispatch explained
that the Spanish government has taken
alarm at the Developments Of receut
interview between United States Min
lister Taylor and the Duke Of Tetuan.
SpaIn's minister of foreign AFFAIRS
General weyler cabled back to Madrid
that In that case he must resort to ex-
trcme methods.
DO us you please" replied Senior
Canovas. -H-
Thereupon General Weyler deter
mined to issue shortly an edict forbid
ding the grinding of the seasons sugar
crop. When that edict appears war
will begin in earnest. Cubans will oc-
cupy hills and woods. the Spanish
troops will be in cities and towns. The
sugar mills will be destroyed by both
sides, for weyler will accept Gomez's
tactics and enter upon campaign Of

late by fire and sword. The torch will
be applied by regulars and Insurgents
alike to everything which might give
aid and comfort to the enemy. Every
body outside the military lines will be
shot without challenge. m
There was n panic in political and
financial quarters when General wey-
lers intention leaked out. The Mar
quis of Apeztegui, the chief of the
Conservative party, was Immediately
summoned to Havana by wire, and ar
rived yesterday from the Constancia
sugar plantation, where he was max
Ing extensive preparations for next
years crop.
A meeting of the Conservative lead
ers was held. Planters and politicians
Of great influence were present. After
a long hot discussion, In which General
weyler's expected edict was denounced
without stint, resolutions were adopted
to this purpose: .U.
"First-That committee, composed
of the Marquis of Apezteguia, Pasquel
Goigochea and Patacco Sanchez. visit
Weyler and try to prevail upon him not
to issue the edict. t-
"Second-If he persists In his deter
mination to issue the edlct, that the
government ut Madrid be urged to re-
call Weyler to Spain" ln .r
These audacious resolutions are the
talk Of the city, as it is well known
that Spanish rule in Cuba has always
been upheld by and in control of the
Conservative party, especially in times
of war, and that the party's resolutions
are In effect law. .-I
1t will not be the first case of a cap

sent back to Spain by the Volunteers.
