A CHEMICAL TRICK.
Changing n White PastebOard Cat
Into a Striped Tiger,

Changing n White PastebOard Cat
Into a Striped Tiger.
When we happen to witness a
phenomenon which seems to violate
natural laws we are not likely to for
get its cause if it be explained to US.
The following experiment, which / de.
vised for my students, helped them to
understand as well as to remember
some chemical data:
A white cat, made of flexible paste
board and imprisoned In a glass jar,
is shown to the audience The lecturer
announces that without opening the
jar or even touching 1t he will cause
the cat to undergo a geological as well
as a chemical transformation He
takes the support of the jar and pushes
1t forward in full view of the students.
The change occurs almost instanta.
neously The cat takes a rich orange
color on which black transversal
stripes rapidly paint themselves. The
cat has become a tiger.
The whole transformation is pro-
duced by carnations of hydrogen sui
phide, which is generated In the jar
itself without any visible apparatus.
The cat has been previously coated
with a solution of chloride of antimony
wherever the orange hue was to be
produced and with solution Of basic
acetate of lead wherever the black
stripes were to appear. Both solutions
are colorless. After the coated cat
has been introduced in his glass cage
a small piece of pasteboard is placed
under the wooden support so as slight
ly to incline the jar forward. A few
decigrams of pulverized sulphide of
iron folded in piece of blotting paper
are deposited behind the cat on the
elevated side of the bottom of the jar.
Two or three cubic centimeters of di-
luted sulphurlc acid are dropped with
q pipette on the opposite side When
the performer wishes the transforma-
ton to take place he takes the wooden
support and pushes 1t forward as If he
wanted everybody to see better what
Is going to happen. By so doing he
suppresses the slight inclination which
kept the iron sulphide beyond the reach
of the sulphuric acid. The gas Is
evolved, and the formation of the
orange sulphide of anthony and black
sulphide Of lead takes place In a few
seconds.-G. Michaud in Scientific
American.

Throughout Cuba game is abundant.
Deer, though not native, have flour

are plentiful; also the wild boar, so

In swampy localities crocodiles and
American alligators (caimans) are
found, and. although these frequently

Chameleons, small lizards, tree toads
and similar harmless silurians of d.

At Paris, the county seat, ten miles
away, the court was still in session.
and the judge, lawyers and others
rushed from the court house, fearing
that it would be wrecked. The shock
was felt throughout the Star valley
and was so distinct that every resi-
dent of the towns in the valley was
frightened. The wave seemed to pass
from northeast to southwest, and was
the most severe that has ever been
felt in this section of the country.

shock with more disastrous results. No
further tremblers have been felt so far,
