Cat Guards House.

Cats, while not so quick to learn
as dogs. are equally Interesting to
those who are fond of them. An in
telligent comfortable cat ssoon be-
comes an important and attached
friend to the family.
A physician once had cat named
Tom, which was not at home one
night when d guest came. In the
morning the host was obliged to
leave home very early, the friend
rising for friendly chat with him
before his departure.
When the host left, the cat must
have stepped in at the open door.
Meantime the mistress of the house
was still in bed. Suddenly she was
awakened by loud caterwaul, to
find Tom In the middle of the floor,
evidently much excited and quickly
running toward the open door. Imag-
lining that he had been in the house
all night, his mistress hastily put on
a dressing gown and followed him
down the stairs. Instead of going to
the back door Tom ran to the sitting
room, where the guest was waiting
| for the rest of the family to appear.
At the sight Of the hostess stimuli
taneously with the cat, he exclaimed:
What is the matter with that cat?
1t has been growing at me and act
ing as If I had no business here"
Which was plainly the fact--in the
cats mind. On three occasions he
had shown a pronounced dislike to
strangers, and, like a dog. always
challenged people not well dressed
when they attempted to come in al
the back door.

sbips with Fish Skins.

A German inventor has been ex-
perimenting for years with various
preservative paints for the bottoms
of ships. Among those used at the
present time even the best permit the
growth of barnacles and marine
vegetation upon the wood or metal
sheathing, and the ship has to go
into dry dock to have her bottom
cleaned-of the growths which so ma
terialIy retard her progress.
The inventor In question has de-
voted his time of late to the deter
mination of the chemical construc-
tion Of the coating found upon the
scales of fishes. He declares that
the agility of the fish Is due to this
coating, which enables 1t to over
come the resistance of the water,
while at the same time 1t prevents
the growth of foreign matter.
He asserts that he Is now
able to produce this coating in a
form permitting 1t to be used for
vessels and that ships thus treated
will not only be able to keep clean
bottoms but that the paint will ma
terially reduce the resistance of the
waves and permit faster time to be
made with the same expenditure OF
power.--St. Louis Dispatch.

TIE
DECEIT OF
DAVID soRWOOD


Laurestina Villas represented the
last word of that building syndicate
which had of late devoted so much of
its attention to the development of
that thriving suburb, Clayden.
The row stood in the midst of
fiat expanse of doomed field land.
1t was for this reason, perhaps, that
the gardens back and front exceeded
In length those of similar villas in
Clayden itself. This advantage,
compensation doubtless for the path
less loan and rubble that served for
road was largely neutralized by
the absence of any indication Of bar
rier between the respective garden
plots beyond that which a few score
of dying and dead privet bushes af-
forded.
One Of the more recently arrived
families, possessed of a discontented
spirit, had with the utmost hardi-
hood applied to the syndicate for
the protection of q fence. The ar
rival of the secretary of the syndi-
cate himself formed the sequel to

the dying twigs of privet to the coun-
tenances of the newcomers 1t was
generally conceded by the remaining
inhabitants Of Laurstina Villas that
an uncalled for attempt at bluff"
on the part of the Pagleys had met
with we'll deserved failure.
Besides, the secretary enjoyed the
unstinted support of Mrs. Holden.
The question-oft repeated, never
nswered-became the acknowi-
edged elegy of the Pagleys' reputa-
| ton.
1t was shortly after the committal
Of this dubious act Of theirs that the

sole remaining unlet villa became
tenanted by bachelor of middle
age. For neighbors he had the Pag.
leys on his right hand Mrs. Holden

ouebec's Enormous Birth Rate.

DR.. Osler says you can't diminish
the birth rate of Quebec. In the
year 1890 the late Hon. H. Mercier,
then Prime Minister of the province,
had law passed by the Provincial
Legislature granting one hundred
acres of the public lands to each
father and mother of twelve living
children. and last year a return was
made to the House or those who had
taken advantage OF this act. This
return shows that there were more
than 3,400 families of twelve living
children In the province, while some

even ran up to 23.
According to the last report OF
the Provincial compiler Of vital sta
tistics. that is to say, for 1903, co.
419 births were registered, which
give birth rate of 36,75 per 1000
of the population.

Fitting Out Men to Get Work.

At last nights meeting of the
Strand Board of Guardians an appli-
cation was received from an inmate
of the workhouse named Kennedy
for a set of false teeth. The appli-
cant stated that being toothless he
was unable to get work. 1t being
guineas, 1t was decided to see
whether something cheaper could
not be obtained. Recently the board
paid three guineas for false nose
for another inmate to enable him to
to go out and get work, and some
time previously a man was provided
with a false ear for the same >pur-
pose.-London Telegraph.

SCIENTISTS NEW DISCOVERY.

Concentration of Mind.


Concentration of Mind.
An unexpected field of research
has been opened to science by the
announcement made by Command
ant Darget on the subject of pho
tographs of human radlations. At a
recent meeting of the Societe Uni
verselle d'Etudes Psychiques in Pa
ris, photographs made by Darget,
which had been obtained by the oper-
ator merely touching the sentitized
plate with his fingers in an absolute
ly dark room for 10 or 15 minutes,
while at the same time fixing his
thoughts on q certain subject.
without this concentration of
mind the plates showed no mark
whatever. On developing the plate
the image of the subject thought Of,
or even of scene called up in the
mind of the operator, was found to
be fixed on 1t, evidently by the eman-
alton Of rays not yet known to sci
entists.
