THE CAT CAME BACK"

jeremiah Kelly of st. John street has
cat that is proving that it has either
nine lives or that its life is a charmed
one. That cat has a tale as well as a
tail. Six attempts have been made to
end its existance, but the very next
day the cat came back" firing of his
cat, Mr.. Kelly sent for Frank Mitchell,
who is an expert shooter, to kill it..
Mr. Mitchell took the cat fired twice
at it, and, as the feline ran away, he
came to the conclusion that it was
grievously wounded, and had run away
to die.
But the cat come back to his accus-
toned haunts, and the last nights per-
Torrance was repeated, and Wednes-
day the cat came back" Peter Cos
tigan, supposedly one of the crack
shots of the town, was next called, and
discharged both barrels at puss, and to-
day the cat came back" Its pur-
suers now say they will have its life at
all hazards, though it may have hun
dred.

1t has hitherto been supposed that in
Egypt the practice of embalming the
bodies of the dead and forming them
into mummies was the most ancient
method of sepulture but Professor
Flinders Petrie, the well known Egyp-
tologist has by recent excavations
thrown quite u new light upon this
question of the ancient method of dis
posing of the dead At Deshasheh. a
place about SO miles south of Cairo he
has discovered series of tombs, in the
collins of which he has found complete
skeletons from which the flesh has been
carefully dissected evidently previous
to burial. The cofiins are of admirable
workmanship, are made of sycamore
and are in perfect preservation not
withstandiug their 5000 years burial
in the sand 1t remains to be proved by
further excavations whether the mutila-
tion of the bodies was performed ms a
ceremonial rite or whether this removal
of flesh from the bones points to canni-
balism ON the part of the ancient peo.

German physiology is attacking the
intelligence of the ant Professor Bethe
of Strassburg thinks he has found a
purely materialistic reason for their
recognizing each other He cleansed
ants taken from one hin in a solution

in this manner when put back in their
own hills Were not recognized by their
tribe, but at once attacked and killed.
Professor Bethe infers from this that
ants must give out some liquid whose
odor guides them and that each colony
must have its own peculiar smell He
goes further and assumes that the odor
emitted is different in going from and
returning to the nest. His test was to
cut ont a section i'll an ant path and to
swing ii half round circle till the ends
