A Cats Long .TuInr,.z

New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch: How far can eat jump without hurting itself was partially exempIifed in Brooklyn A pretty white eat ran up a tree to get away from a dog, and at last crawled out on small branch at least sixty feet above the ground. The branch was not much more than 2 twig. and the cat could not turn around. She sat up there on the swaying limb and neoWed. At last the twig broke. and down came the eat. She alighted on the ground on her feet. looked around for moment, and then bounded away Which shows that sixty-foot drop does not hurt a Brooklyn cat, whatever it might do to cats of other places.
