She has also discovered that the plate glass window of the Booth jewelry store makes an excellent mir TOT under certain conditions of light, and that by looking toward the window she can watch the chippies in the street and at the same time give the birds no reason to suspect that she is interested in anything except Booths gold rings and jewelry display.
 SparroWs come along the street every few minutes. and, although at first rather shy of the cat, they evidently observe that she is paying no atten- tion to them. and gradually work up quite close to her in their search for food. Pussy keeps perfectly passive un- til one of the birds happens to stray within easy jumping distance. and then she turns like flash and captures the unlucky bird in an instant.
 People who observe the cat for the first time gazing at the reflection of the sparrows obtained an idea that she herself is being fooled by the refiec- tion and stop to watch. expecting that she will finally jump against the show window in her efforts to catch the bird but they find that they have underesti-
 mated kitty's intelligence when bird approaches too near the dead line- Laconia Democrat.

ALARM CLOCKS ON GRAVE,
STONES,

The Indians of Pala, in the foothills of the Coast Range in the southern part of the State of California, were converted to the Catholic faith by, the Jesuit Fathers, who founded mission among them. Though some super stitions prevail, their belief in the Re- surrection is strong.
 Believing that the dead must remain for some time in the grave. they ob- serve exactly the hour at which the spirit departs, and the rude wooden cross over each grave in the cemetery states the exact hour minute and day on which the person died. Suspended from the arms of one of the. crosses is an alarm clock, with the hands set at 6;57. The alarm at the back of the clock has been set set at the same mo- nent The person who placed the clock there believes that at the proper mo- ment the alarm will sound and will awaken the sleeping spirit. Another alarm clock, that once hung from the cross above 1t; has fallen down and now lies in a damaged condition on the ground. Bottles, lamps, pitchers and other pieces of croekery and glass ware are also seen on the graves The cemetery is at Agua Caliente. or Warm SprinE.-American Inventor

I asked whether they would come aboard our trawler, but the officer, in a broken voice, said no; they would get on the torpedo boat This vessel now came steaming close up along side of the smack, with the other submarine following in her wake We put the four survivors in board the torpedo boat. and her commander thanked us for what we had done, and could have sat down and cried like little child over the horror of it all.
