Falling from a Great Height.

1t will be remembered that Mr..
Whymper. who had a severe succession
of falls once In the Alps. without losing
his consciousness, declares emphatical-
~ that as he bounded from one rock to
another he felt absolutely no pain. The
same thing happens On the battlefield.
The entrance of the bullet into the body
Is not felt. and it Is not till he feels the
blood flowing or a limb paralyzed that
the soldier knows he is wounded.
Persons who have had several limbs
broken by a fall do not know which
limb is broken till they try to rise. AT
the moment of a fall the whole intel
lectual activity Is increased to an ex-
traordinary degree. There Is not a
trace of anxiety. One considers quick
ly what will happen. This is by n 10
means the consequence of presence of
mind" 1t is rather the product of alb
solute necessity. A solemn composure
takes possession of the victim. Death
by fall is n beautiful one. Great
thoughts fill the victims soul. They
fall painlessly into a great blue sky.

This cat story comes from Pont Ste,
,Naxence (Oise), and for such a small
place 1t IL mn extremely tall tale. says
the Paris Messenger. 1t would appear
that a resident in the place, who is an
enthusiastic angler, used to keep live
bait In a small tank on his premises.
The angler also had a cat who natu-
rally was fond of fish, raw or cooked.
This being 80. his owner covered his
tank with wire netting to keep pussy
out of temptation.
: But the cat knew a trick or two and
went to the nearest refuse heap for
some fowl giblets which were provi-
dentially lying there. These she took
to the tank. let them hang into the wa
ter from the netting and began fishing
on her own account. When the fish
nlbbied at the bait. puss would catch it
with a nimble claw! The angler. mo-
.ticing the trick. threw the bait away.
but half TN hour later puss was at It
again.
We hardly know which to admire
most. the cats ingenuity or that Of the
c~oncocter Of the story.

Gifts For the srourner..

Some deliver into the musty old rec
,ords OF Harvard has brought to light
ID amusing provision with which one
OF" the colleges eighteenth century
friends coupled what was for his time
. very generous bequest to the Cam
bridge university.
Mr.. Thomas Brattle was the tesla
tors name. and his interest In Harvard
evidently extended to the individual
members of its undergraduate body.
for after leaving 1900. then the equiv
alent Of about $4,000. to the college
for its general uses his will gives half
4 crown to every student belonging to
1t who should attend his funeral.
Unfortunately no account of Mr..
Brattle's obsequies is extant. but there
can be little doubt that the occasion
was made solemn by the presence of a
large number OF "chief mourners'' and
that good wishes for the deceased were
generally and feelingly expressed.

Ants That Strike,

Certain kinds of black ants have lit
tie yellow ants which do most of their
work for them. Once in awhile these
little yellow fellows will go on strike,
and the blacks" try to force them
back TO work by cutting off their food
supply. If that does not succeed, they
will attack the strikers In force or
make a raid and get another gang Of
''yellows" into the colony. But the
newcomers. as a rule, join the strikers.
The strike ends by the "yellows" es-
Gaping and founding a colony for them
selves, or they give in and settle down
to work again.

sensifiveness of the implements Of
the Modern Laboratory.
The eye and IT, ear have long been
regarded as inasvels of mechanism,
quite the most wonderful things in the
world. But compared with the i'm
plements of n present day laboratory
the constituencies of oil human organs
seems gross enough. a Photographic
plate, coupled with a telescope, will re
veal the presence of millions of stars
whose light does not affect the retina
In the least. The microscope, too, with
its revelations of the world of the In.
finitely small, tells us how crude, after
all, is this most delicate Of the senses.
Indeed, we may liken 1t to a piano
where only a single octave, toward the
middle, sounds. From the ultra violet
to the lowest reaches of the spectrum
is a range OF some nine octaves of light
vibrations, of which, save for our new
mechanical senses. we should never
have beer conscious of but one.
The ear hears little of what is going
on around us. By means Of a micro
phone the tread of a fly sounds like the
tramp of cavalry. Our heat sense is
very vague. We need a variation OF
at least one-fifth of n degree on n Their
mometer to realize any difference in
temperature. Professor Langley's lit
tie bolometer will note the difference OF
a millionth of a degree. 1t is two hun
bred thousand times as sensitive as Dur

DUG UP THE BONES OF
A PREHISTORIC HORSE
Worknen Excavatins for BEuestone
Discover the Fossil.

SUSQUEHANNA, Pa, Aug. %
While Workmen were excavating for
blue stone near Forest City last week
they unearthed the petrif1ed bones of
an animal estimated to have been six
teen feet long. The body lay head
downward on a shelf under a project
ing rock. The left foreleg was miss
ing. A hind leg had been broken off
at the knee, but the foot was found
under the root of tree near by.
Lime water falling on the bones
had turned them to stone, but the out
lines of the body were perfect. Foot
prints as large around as half bushel
measure were found. The teeth were
six inches long. The farmers of the
neighborhood believe the bones those
Of a monster species of the horse, but
a Scranton geologist is sure they are
those Of a mastodon.

good quantities of both September and
