Ias RonSsvfd Power Shown In 10
Lsapina Ability.


The wonderful power OF wildcat
Is shown In Its ability to leap long
distances. An OF the cat tribe have
immense power in their legs, and they
make up in the length OF their spring

chase. African Ieopards in captivity
have been known to leap from the
door of the cages and strike the top.
twelve feet above. Tigers make ire
mendous leaps and strike down on
their prey with a blow OF their power
full paws as they aIlght. But the
wildcat. for Its size, is probably the
most wonderful jumper ef all the fe-
lines.
a hunter who Is well known for his
veracity told the following story of an
adventure which illustrates this power:
Il was hunting III the snow one win
ter and came across the track OF 4
wildcat, which followed for q long
distance. Suddenly the tracks came to
an end In spot where the animal had
crouched. looked around to see
what had become of the trail and
away head OF me saw a bunch OF
blood and feathers. From that spot
the track led on again of into a
swamp. The situation was susceptible
to but one explanation-the wildcat
had been hunting for his dinner and
had discovered a pheasant wandering
about In the snow. The cat crept as
close as he dared to the unsuspectinc
bird and gathered himself into an ant
mated spiral spring, such as the cat
tribe coil themselves into when pre-
pairing to spring and. releasing the trig.
ger, shot into the air, landing ON top Of
the victim before the bird. quick as
peasants usually are. could evade the
stroke. The distance from where the
cat croucbed to where 1t caught the
bird was just thirty-three feet. nat
urally supposed from the length Of the
leap that the cat was young and in
full activity, but after I trailed It to
the swamp and shot II discovered
that II was old and almost toothless.
The animals hunger may have spurred
him to the great jump. II not, and the
leap was an evidence of what a super
animated wildcat can do, wouldn't
be surprised to learn that young and
active wildcat could clear at least
twice that distance when. pressed by
necessity.

down TO the junction, where at that
time the newsboys congregated in
great numbers. He gathered a dozen
of them around him.

One Of my sons, aged fifteen, went
with three other boys to battle in In.
glemere pond. near the Ascot race
course. He walked into the water to
about the depth of four feet. when he
spread out his hands to attempt to
swim. At that instant large fish
came up and took his whole hand Into
its mouth, but, finding itself unable to
swallow ii, relinquished its hold, and
the boy, turning round, prepared for a
hasty retreat. His companions, who
saw the fish, scrambled out OF the
pond as fast as possible. My son had
scarcely turned around before the fish
came up behind him and, SELLING his
other hand crosswise. inflicted some
very deep wounds on the back OF it.
The boy raised his free hand, which
was still bleeding, and struck the great
fish hard blow on the head, when 1t
disappeared. The other boys assisted
my son to dress, bound up his hand
with their handkerchiefs and brought
him home. We took him to the sur.
geon, who dressed seven wounds in
one hand, and so great was the pain
the next day that the lad tainted twice.
The little finger was bitten through
the nail. and ii was more than six
weeks before 1t was well. The nail
came off. and the scar remains to this
day.-London Fishing Gazette.

Peas and beans are very important
plants in folklore. and there are many
superstitions connected with them.
Peas were favorite instruments for
divination a pea pod with nine peas
was equal to a wlshbone when placed
above the door. In Northamptonshina
II is accounted generally lucky to find
nine peas in a pod, or kid In Neck
lenburg, Germany, 1t is believed that
peas must be sown early on wednes-
day or Thursday or the birds will car
ry them off II they are fed to hens,
it's said that fowls win lay wen. They
must not however. be eaten during the
Christmas holidays or until after
Twelfth day. Beans were mysterious
in antiquity Pliny says they contain
the souls Of the dead. The Romans
used them N religions ceremonies.
They were used in Gresce as ballots,
and Pytbagoras desired mis- disciples
not to 4'lOVe beans"-that is. not inter.
fere with politics Our phrase You
don't know beans probably means you
are no politician. Ovid ptescribes
beans TO expel evil spirits.
