when the Washington monument had
reached a height of 160 feet, an adven-
turous and patriotic cat assembled the
interior of the shaft by means of the
ropes and tubing. When the workmen
arrived at the upper landing the next
morning and began to prepare for the
days work, pussy took fright and,
springing to the outer edge, took
header" of 100 feet to the hard earth
below. In the descent, which was
watched closely by twoscore of men,
the cat spread herself out like a flying
squirrel and alighted on all fours. Aft

In a dazed manner she prepared to

She had got almost beyond the shad-

not being in her best running trim after
performing such an extraordinary feat.
One of the men procured the body of
the dead feline, smoothed out her silky
coat and turned the remains over to a
representative of the Smithsonian in

placed 1t under a glass case. The label
