Mice have been brought under cultivation and have been SO altered in appearance by the fancier that their original wild rela- tiyes would fail to know them. Yet the fancy mouse, with his wonderful markings, Is a very ordinary creature compared with this waltzing member of the family.
 It Is no doubt true that many tale hangs by the tail of many an animal The waltzlng mouse probably has this in view, as his main object In hfe appears to be to catch and investigate his own tall, the contortlons and gyra- tons in which he indulges during tho process being decidedly unique.

 Many years ago while the Washing ton monument was still in an unfnish- ed condition an adventurous and p0- trlotic cat ascended the interior of the shaft by means of the ropes and scaf- folding. When the workmen arrived at the upper landing the next morning and began to prepare for the days work. the cat took fright and. spring Ing to the outer edge, took the leap of leo 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 sQulr- rel. fell slowly and allghted as cats always do, on all fours.
 After turning over on the soil few times as if dazed she prepared to leave the grounds. She had got al- most beyond the shadow of the monu- ment when a dog belonging to one Of the workmen bounced upon her and killed her. she of course not being able to run as fast as usual after perform. ing such an extraordinary feat.
