TAILLESS CATS.
Considerable Doubt Still Exists a. tc
Their Origin.

Considerable Doubt Still Exists as 70
Their Origin.
NJ. Gustave Loisel. a naturalist
charged with a mission to the Isle of
Man, has Just published a long report
Of visit to that island, where he was
able to observe the existence Of tail
less cats, about which there Is q lack
Of precise data and which Darwin
studied for some time.
1t Is rather surprising that there Is a
divergence Of views on the character
istics Of the animal at present. 1t Is
nevertheless recognized that 1t is rare.
NJ. Gustave Loisel had difficulty in pro-
curing a Manx cat, the seller asking
from 3T5 to 625 francs each.
There is much discussion about the
coats Of these cats. Some people say
they are black, others sandy, others
again variegated. AS for the tail. some
say they have tails without having
them; others say that, though there is
no tail, yet there is some. NJ. Loisel
says the tail is lacking. is reduced to a
sinewy, knot.ed. twisted fillet under
the skin. The posterior part Of the ami
NAL Is well developed, as II that part
had been nOurished by the tail and had
absorbed it. This gives the animal a
distinctive form.
Did the species originate locally?
This is possible. On the other hand.
in q DOrsetshire village there is a mum.
Der OF tailless cats. progeny Of q fe-
male cat which lost her tail through
accident.
Did the species come from a distant
quarter? This again is possible. The
common cat is mentioned in a text dat
ing from the ninth century CLAWS OF
the Welsh Prince Hoelda'O as a rare
animal Of recent date. The tailless cat
IS only mentioned at the beginning of
the nineteenth century. Or did this
species come from q wrecked vessel
coming from Prussia, where cats OF
this kind do not seem to have been
abundant. or Japan, Malaysia or the
Crimea, where the existence Of cats
without tails Is on record?
AS a matter Of fact, nothing Is
known for certain. NJ. G. Loisel re
cords that cats without tails have q
profound antipathy toward the ordi
nary cat He has, moreover. come
across another interesting variety IN
the Isle Of Man, a species OF chickens
without rumps. Possibly the climate
Is unfavorable for the development OF
posterior appendices.-From L'Eteu'

Lima 70 Protect Oysters.

One Of the greatest foes to the oyster
industry is the starish, which fire.
Quently covers large areas Of the sea
bottom to a depth Of eighteen to TWEEN
y inches, sometimes blanketing entire
beds Of oysters. The stars are very
hard to destroy, says Popular Mechan-
ics, but 1t has been discovered that
their steady advance can be checked
with lime. The lime is placed In paper
bags and dropped along the boundary
Of the oyster bed. A paper bag causes
It to descend through the water, and
beyond the lime barrier thus formed
not a starish will pass. A better
means for getting the lime to the bot
tom Is being devised.
