Cats are taken to the pound as we'll as
dogs and several days ago, when Pound
master Einstein ordered the fastest lot of
dogs killed, there were already within the
red box ten cats and four kittens. Cats
are harder to kill than dogs, and when the
gas was turned into the cage the cats,
which had been doing quietly in various
corners of the box, began to walk about
and meow piteously, as If they We're aware
that the deadly gas would in few mo-

But after inhaling the gas for about two
minutes the largest cat will invariably be-
come limp and fall to the floor with a dull
thud For about five seconds 1T will emit
loud cries, after which all is over.
The kittens seem to be harder to kill,
and sometimes outlast their elders. This
method of killing is the surest, and, be-
sides, 1t is less painful than any other that
has been tried The heavy fumes of the
gas sink at once to the bottom of the box,
and none of the animals ever escapes.
Before September, 1896, all the dogs i'm
pounded were shot but at that time this
method Of killing was abandoned. The
dogs do not seem to apprehend danger, as
do the cats, when they are placed in the
box, but the former generally sit still and
rarely move about the box like the felines.
Cats seem to be able to scent trouble some
time before the dogs are aware of 1t. and

for the commemoration Of the fourth centen-
NAL of the death of Christopher Columbus
the discoverer of America, May 20, 1906 by
the erection of monument in the Vatican.
1t Is also stated that steps are being taken
to recall to life the movement for his canon

years ago a large number of archbishops
and bishops present signed petition urg
Ing Pope Plus TX to admit of steps being
taken to this end in the Congregation of
Rites, and after the council prelates in diff
ferent parts of the world made individual
appeals to the holy see about the matter.
1t Is regarded as well within the range Of
probability that Catholics In this country
will also take up the matter, and arrange
for demonstration on the occasion of the
anniversary An active member of the
knights of Columbus in this city stated to

Traits of Summer Storms.

From the New York Tribune.
One OF the most striking differences be-
tween such storms as have occurred In this
vicinity within the last few days and
those Of winter is seen in the distribution
OF the attendant rainfall. At both seasons
a wide area is likely to be affected at any
one time, but the actual result Is not the
same. In cool weather the precipitation is
usually almost uniform over the whole OF
the region favored. which may embrace
several large states. and it is practically
continuous for several hours. In warm
weather 1t is concentrated over many wide
ly separated spots. Sunshine often inter
venes between these: and where there is a
downpour at all 1t is generally swift, sud
den and copious

thereafter the dogs owner called at the
pound and claimed the canine, but the
poundmaster declined to deliver the dog, as
symptoms of what appeared to be hydro
phobia.
A specialist was summoned from the bu-
reau of animal industry of the Agricultural
Department at the request of the owner,
and the specialist declared the dog TO be af-
fected with rabies. The poundmaster imme-
diately ordered the dog killed.
There Will likely never be any objection by
any of the neighbors to the location of
the dog pound. for with the possible excep-
ton of laundry plant there are no neigh
bors within a distance of one square. 1t Is
located just in the rear of the old naval OBJ

Development OF
The Forest Service

The bureau of forestry from the first OF
the present month will be known as the FOR
est service. This change In name is not Oh
itself important, but 1t signalizes the devei-
opment of the bureau from a mere mead
quarters of information to the control OK
the whole of the forest reserves. formerly
under the charge Of the Interior Depart
ment. The forest service is the only pranch
of the public service possessed OF the scieh-
tific and technical knowledge necessary for
the enlightened care and use OF the forests'
This means that the reserves are to be mace
to yield to the people of the country the
largest benefits which intelligent manage
ment can get out of them. Use, not reser-
walton from use, is the essential purpose Tor
which they exist-but use under such condi-
tons as shall make their benefits perma-
nent.

Of them and who call upon the pound
master to take the felines away must have
them placed In boxes or in bags for re-
moval. as catching cats would be beyond
even the ability of the poundmaster and
his corps of experienced dog catchers.
Many persons visit the pound daily, the
majority in quest of lost pets, while others
come to see If they cannot find suitable
dog cat which they can buy from the
poundmaster by paying the fee of 81. Then
there is the kind-hearted lover of dogs who
buys~their release merely in order to save
the life of the canine.
In society circles of Washington there
may be found many lovers of dogs. The
Countess Cassini. during her residence in
this city, together with her father, Count
Cassini. the Russian ambassador, many
times visited the pound and purchased
some of the captured animals When a
dog belonging to foreign legation Is
captured the canine is always returned to
it's owner free of charge.
Several days ago lady was at the pound
searching for small dog which strayed
from her home in the northwest section
of the city the 4th of July. She has seven
other dogs, but her regard for the missing
dog has caused her to either go personally
or send some one to the pound each day
