Among the "fads'' to which English
ladies' OF wealth, leisure and high So
cial distinction are addicted there are
few yielding the fair devotees more
genuine pleasure and satisfaction than
the business of breeding and rearing
cats. the speciality OF Lady Marcus
Beresford. At her home at Bishams-
gate. near Egham, Lady Beresford has
established what she calls her cat
cries" a word which fits the case, per-
haps, as well as any other. The es-
tabnshment Is absolutely unique In
every feature. Here the happy and
fortunate pussies live, move, and have
their being amid surroundings fit for
queens and princes. One feature OF
the 'catery'' is a ~vine-covered cottage
with the rooms decorated n supplied
with everything supposed to be need
full for the comfort of the most fasti-
dious of felines. There Is a small
kitchen for cooking food, racks to
hold the white enameled bowls and
plates used at feeding time. and a
large book wherein is inscribed the
family history Of members of the es-
adjustment. BY many men cats are
regarded as a nuisance. IL nothing
worse, but by a specially fortunate cir
cumstance Lord Beresford Is deeply
interested in felines himself, and is

ways set upon Thursday or for any

pointment In gratitude for bountiful
harvests finally made the autumn the
customary time. When the festival of
Thanks became annual II assumed
many features Of the old English
Christmas. In the year 1877 the first
regular Thanksgiving proclamation
was printed. Neither chinaware por
earthenware was plentiful in early
days. although e%arthenware Is
toned In early inventories. The table
furnishings consisted largely OF wood
en- trenchers. The time when America
was settled was the era when pewter
ware and n set Of "garnish' OF pew
ter was n source OF great pride to
every colonial housekeeper. A uni
versal table furnishing was the por-
ringer. which was usually Of pewter.
When not In uso these were hung by
their handles on the edge Of tho dress

Electrical Effects Of Thunder storms.
F. LarroQue, In Comics Rendus.
states that, being attracted by the pc
culiar effect thunder storms at a dis
lance OF many miles often have upon
persons affiicted with certain nervous
diseases long before any instrument
now In use indicates any atmospheric
disturbance, II occurred to him that
Hertzian waves emitted by thunder
storms might possibly be transmitted
over enormous distances through the
middle and higher atmospher by some
means analogous to relays. In order
to test his idea he constructed a re-
ceiver made OF a horizontal plate or
zinc 40 en-. In diameter. earthed by a
thin copper wire containing a spark
gap located In a dark cellar. With
this device, in June. 1901. he made sew
eral series of nocturnal observations.
In n OF them the manifestations CO.
incided with the blizzard In the Gram
plans. and In another with the thun-
der storm which Oh the night Of June
Is was visible over Corsica, the sky
being serene in both cases where the
observations were made. M. L~arroque
points out the Importance of this char
acter OF meteorological observation,
but ventures no explanation OF the
cause OF the transmission Of Hertzian
waves over such enormous distances.

AN iNky LAKE.

One OF ths Most Peculiar Mysteries Of
Colorado.
The most unusual curiosity In the
strange. uncanny land by the Colorado
river is what the naturalists in Califor-
MIA call a lake of ink. The scientific
journals in Los Angeles and San Diego
have discussed time and time again
what the lake Of ink really Is. 1t is a
great pool of black fluid that resembles
black writing ink more than anything
else. 1t Is about an acre in area. The
surface of the lake Is coated with ashes
from the volcanoes to the thickness of
about half a foot, and the explorer In
these parts who is not looking out for
this freak OF nature would be very ant
to walk into II. Surveyors have found
that the lake Is some three hundred
yards deep in some places. but no bot

line branches of at Milan for Chiasso,
where 1t Joins the Swiss system, with
which Vienna is already connected
and Berlin shortly will be. The four
principal capitals Of the continent,
with their chief provincial cities. will
thus shortly be within speaking dis

nothing but theory as to the source Of
the supply Of tho lake. but no n
seems to know what the component
parts OF the acres of black fluid. The
Indians say II is composed Of the blood
Of bad Indians who are suffering in
their hell amid the volcanoes. Samples
Of the lake have been brought to Yuma
and Los Angeles for tests and exami-
nation. II is good for common mark
ing purposes. Cotton goods that have
been soaked with the strange black
fluid keep their color for months, q
when exposed to the sun. and the
goods have a stiffness that is somewhat
like weak starch. a gallon OF the lake
fluid was ser to the Smithsonian In
stitution at Washington the other day
for analysis.
