When the brother of the landord of
an inn near Nottingham, England
went to bed at midnight he noticed the
cat-a brown and white pussy only
nine months old. lying on a mat out.
side a bedroom door. He had not
been long asleep before he was awak-
ened by the cat patting his face and
purring loudly. Stroking the animal,
he turned on his side and went to
sleep again. By and by he was arous-
ed second time by the cat scratching
his face and crying. Rousing himself,
he found the room full of smoke and
realized that the house was on fire.
Putting on top coat. he dashed for
the room where his brothers wife

and managed, with the utmost difficult
ty. to rescue her in the midst of the
smoke and flames. He carried her
down stairs. followed by the cat, and
in a few minutes the house was
mass of fire and the roof fell in. How
the cat contrived to get into his room
is mystery, but the door was prob
ably ajar. In any case. pussy was the
means of saving two persons from
dreadful fate.

The Twisted Drawing

To make twisted drawings, or draw
ings out of shape, in such a manner
that If they are viewed under certain
conditions they will appear as if drawn
in their proper proportions, is called
making anamorphoses. This forms

may be done in several ways, twu of
which are here given.

shown in the figure. Then on ano f. err

and had evidently fallen from its nest.
Fearing that the cats might devour 1t
