 Just as they were leaving the last room, having given up their task in despair, 8 cat which had been sit ting with her kittens in 8 basket in the corner, got up, stretched herself and mewed. One of the officers turned back, looked into the basket, and there discovered the jewelry, hid- den in the hay which formed the cats bed. The cats owner is now expiat- ing her crime in jail.
 Another curious case of an animal unwittingly delivering it's master up to justice comes from Wednesbury. An iron worker of that town was cruel enough to throw his dog down creatures moans were heard by pass ers-by. and one of them named Will liam Jeavons pluckily went down and rescued the unfortunate beast, which was badly injured. It was taken to the police station and well looked after, and shortly recovered. But, as 1t was not known to whom it be- longed, no steps could be taken to punish the person responsible for the outrage.
 A week or two later the dog was accompanying one of the policemen Y through the streets, when it suddenly ran, into the house and began to play with the children.

Hearst, the mother of Rep resentative Hearst, has given one mil lion dollars to the University of Cali fornia, and is devoting her time to the supervising of plans and details in the development of this great insti- tuition. Mrs Hearst, by the way, is the only woman regent in the United States. MT Hearst's amphitheater is modelled after those of the ancient Greeks. It will cost one hundred thousand dollars when completed. II will contain nine sections of seats each section to have more than twenty tiers. They will be on a steep incline and will seat eight thousand persons Around the top a broad walk will fur. nish standing room for two thousand more persons. Below the tier-seats will be platform level with the stage provided with seats. The amphithea ter will accomnodat in all fourteen thousand persons.
