THE CAT AN EXAMPLE OF
PROPER FOOD DIGESTION
Tabby Can Give the Human Race Val
liable Suggestions.

For some time past professor in
Harvard University has been studying
the process OF digestion as revealed by
the Roentgen ray sent through tho
stomachs OF divers and sundry cats. Tbs
results are instructive.
There are several cats employed in tho
experiments, but only one at a time
and mostly Of the gentIer sex. as the
Thomases were obstinate patients. with
irregular digestive processes. The sub
jet was kept hungry for ten hours and
then so well fed that after a prelimi-
nary toilet it stretched out comfortably
10 sleep. In that position it was strapped
between the lens and the screen OF the
apparatus, so that the X-ray threw the
shadow Of its stomach on the luminous
screen. A little bismuth was mixed with
the bread and milk of the cats food 10
darlIen the shadow
The food lay at first in the upper and
larger part OF the pear-shaped stomach.
Then a series OF wavelike motions be-
gan from the center OF the stomach and
was continued with clocklike regularity.

the reservoir at the tCO to thc ps ssage
mo the intestines a. the bottom, at ten
second intervals.
Two important facts were observed,
and 10 these attention Is particularly
called. For regularity OF the d.
gestive process a condition of calm con-
tent WAS necessary. The moment pussy
became provoked At anything the wave
like motions ceased and were only re-
sumed when she regained placidity OF
temper That IS why Thomas cats proved
unsatisfactory subjects. They lost their
tempers too often and the churn in the
lower half Of the stomach quit work 1t

let had been waved on 10 the outlet OF
the stomach # was returned to be work
ed over again. this process continuing
until II had been so dissolved by the gas
trio juice that IL scarcely cast a shadow.
These. therefore. are the two lessons
Of the cats stomach to man at table
and after. Thoroughly masticate your
food. that the churning process may not
be prolonged beyond the proper time.
Refrain from anger or worry after meals
until the food is completely digested

OF THE ART
OF WOOD ENGRAVING
First Cut Was Made Idore Than Five
Hundred Years Ago.
Doesn't Miss His Coffee.

The origin OF wood engraving Is
shrouded in more or less of mystery,
and those who would learn Of its in
fancy are baked at every turn. The
first wood cut now known TO the world
appeared about 1423. and nobody has the
slightest idea who cit the block. The
only existing impression was found on
the inside Of the cover Of q manuscript
IN the library of a Suabian convent
But, according to PapilIOn. a French
wood engrayer and writer on the sub
jet. there We're some blocks even old
CT than this. They were cut, so his ac-

played upon several instruments and had
begun to design and paint with deIicacy
and taste, while her brother. the chival-
ric Alberto was OF quite ravishing beau
~. and one Of the most charming youths
in fourteenth century Italy At four
teen he commanded a squadron OF horse
in the wars. and displayed extraordinary
valor. After distinguishing himself BY
defeating 200 OF the foe, he returned 10

wonderful wood blocks. Illustrating the
progress Of Alexander
On the completion OF this remarkable
series he once more ventured on the
field OF battle, being accompanied BY
the passionate lover Of his beautiful
sister. This brave action, how,Ner PROV
ed fatal. for he was kiK,I and his
friend dangerously wounded while de-
Tending him in the midst Of the enemy.
This so affected the twin sister that she
resolved never TO marry, and. pining
away in the approved style of medieval
romance. died at the interesting age OF
twenty
This is a pretty and effective story.
The only fault about it is that it isn't
true. The author OF it had an exuberant
imagination and latter day authorities
ascribe il to that popularity rather than
10 sober history. At al events. there has
always been a souabble about il be-
tween various writer's on the art or
wood engraving. though the general
opinion is. nobody has ever seen the
engravings ascribed TO this romantic
pair. that the whole story is a myth OF
the middle ages.-ChicagO Chronicle

WOMEN STOCK BROKERS
LEGION IN WASHING TON
Buy and Sell Securities With the Con-
fdence of Veterans.

In perhaps no other community of a
similar size, where stock speculation is
so little INDUCED in, does the ticker
hold so great an attraction foz women
as in the District In proportion to the
number Of men here and the few in
terested in stocks, Washington women
dabble in railroad and Industrial Sc
curities equally as much as the male
population.
OF course. this does not mean they
appear ON the floor of the stock ex-
change and buy and sell stocks ike the
stronger sex They couldn't do that
The change * purely an establishment
for men. Nor does It mean they are as
numerous here as in New York. the
financial center
But il is a recognized fact in local
circles that the proportionate number
OF women brokers is large So is the
proportionate number Of wealthy wO-
men-a fact that explains the eircum-
stance.
1t is a usual sight to see women eye
ing the stock ticker in a brokers' office.
Each move of the tape is fascinating
to ihem. for as the apparently insig-
nlficant figures are reeIed of a vital
story is told
The bears have things their own
way" says the woman broker as she
glances through her lorgnette at the
ticker.
Yes; but the markets due for

the improvement"
All the expressions of the market are
known to them, and they talk Of stocks
like 50 many veteran capitalists who
have spent the best part OF their lives
on the floor or watching the board.
In local Offices women are constantly
seen. Their presence causes no sur
prise, except 10 persons unaccustomed
TO visiting brokers Offices.
And it must be admitted they show
sound judgment and wise discretion in
the buying and selling of stocks.
