GOT RID OF THE CATS.

iCleveF Plan of New York landlord
to Rid His Premises of Scrcnaders.
Therinhabitants of row of fine fiat
houses in the Harlem district of New
York have for n long time past been
greatly annoyed by nocturnal cat Choir
uses, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. In
'desperation2 2pluns of poisoning and
shooting were discussed, but the owner
of the flats, who resided in one of them.
and was n law-abiding man, deter
mined to adopt better plan, and have
some sport at the same time. Placing
two traps Oh either side of the alley
ways adjoining his flats, he attached
wires to the traps, making a wire con-
nection with an electric bell in his
cellar. When a frisky feline took the
bait, he came quickly ON the scene
and put the quarry into bag: Cap
tives were turned over to the S. p. C..
n. and taken away in Datches of from
three to ten every night. When about
20 of the unwelcome serenaders had
been transferred in this way, the strain
on the society proved too severe, and
the landlord was told to do his own
execution in future.
His first idea was to electrocIte the
animals, but he found that the appara-
tus necessary was somewhat too Ielab-
crate. Finally he took the simpler way
OF inserting in a barrel tube con-
rected with n gas jet The cat was
dropped in, the lid was shut down,
tic gas was turned on and the driver
Of the dead wagon was told by tele-
pkcne to call.
The neiThborhood is now cleared Of
cats, and the slumbcrs of the sleepers
in the flats are no longer disturbed.

Birds strangely Concealed.

Mr.. A. III. Thayer, an artist, believes
he has discovered that the light color,
of the under parts of birds and small
mammals serves to conceal them from
their enemies. At recent meeting Of
the American Ornithologists' union he
proved by experiments that an object
nearly of the color of the ground, like
potato, is very conspicuous when
placed q few inches above the soil and
viewed from little distance. But
when the under side is painted white
and gradually shaded into the color Of
the upper Fart, the object disappears
by blending with the ground; the
whiteuess beneath counteracts the ef-
feet of the shadow of the body.

DR. Bergstein's Defense.

DR.. Bergstein has replied t the
charges Of the Reno Gazette in a long
communication in the Journal. He
answers freely and satisfactorily every
charge made and sums up his defense
by the showing that under the maj =
agement OF DR.. Thoma the care of the
Insane cost the State daily S61. n, and
under the Bergstein management it
cost daily $4s. 10 per capita. After
this showing it was unnecessary to
reply 10 the other charges, as these
figures are q good and sufficient
defense.
DR.. ThOma, the former Superlpten-
dent, is one OF the owners of the
Gazette and he should have Insisted
that it retracted it's charges in Justice
to his successor. The whole animus
Of the attack comes from the fact that
it is the Silver party, Instead of Re,
publican officers holdefa, and they are
trying to play vel by charging mis-
management.
1t is odd hat the Gazette, which
now poses as a treasury watch dog
did not take DR.. Thoma to task when
he was running the Asylum at al tx
pense OF S61.77 per capita.
