Why THIRTEEN IS "UNLUCKY'
Morse Mythology Says Spirit of Mis-

In Christian Nations Superstition Is
Based on Fact that Thirteen

It IS usually stated that the supersti-
tious objection to sitting thirteen al a ia

the fact Of the last supper, when Christ
and His twelve disciples sat down TO eat
together, Immediately before the Saviour
was seized by His enemies.

Christianity among the Mortimer. we

For the fact Is the objection TO this mum

Der is SO disliked and feared that il is
never even named, with the Aztecs- the
aborigines of Mexico. it was believed TO

been found IN other Indian tribes

worship Of their ancestors. il is impos-
sible TO say, for the superstition has a
strong hold everywhere. even among
those who should know better than TO be

in making up the numbers of the favorite
lotteries, and in Paris it is omitted in
numbering the houses on the streets.

TALE ABOUT TAILLESS CATS
Replies to Questions as to the Origin
of Feline Freaks.
Much Discussion About the Coats
of These Cats, bat Little
Definitely known.

NJ. Gustave Loisel, a naturalist charged
with mission 10 the Isle OF Man has
according te-the L'Etendard Egyptisn.
published a long report Of a visit to that
island. where he was able TO observe the
existence Of tailless cats. about which
there is lack Of precise data. and which
Darwin studied for some time.
1t Is rather surprising that there IS a
divergence Of views on the characteristics
Of the animal at present. It is neverthe-
less recognized that It Is rare n. Gus
tave Loisel had difficulty in procuring a
Manx cat, the seller asking from S75 10
625 franks each.
There is much discussion about the
coats Of these cats. Some people say. they
are black, others sandy, others again va
riegated. As for the tail. some say they
have tails without having them: others
say that though there is no tail. vet there
is some. NJ. LOisel says the tail is lack
ing, is reduced 20 a slnewy, knotted,
twisted fillet under the skin. The pos
terror part OF the animal is very de-
veloped, as If that part had been nour-
lelstA D9 lLlc Ldll anu Nhu absorbed II.
This gives the animal a distinctive form.
Did the species originate locally? This
is possible. On the other hand, in
Dorsetshire village there are a number
of tailless cats. progeny OF a female 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 dating
from the ninth century claws Of the
Welsh Prince HoeIda'O as a rare animal
Of recent date. The tailless cat is only
mentioned at the beginning Of the nine
teenth century or did the tailless spe-
cies come from q wrecked vessel coming
from Prussia where cats Of this species
do not seem to have been abundant. or
Japan, Malaysia or the Crimea, where
the existence Of cats without tails is on

As a matter OF fact. nothing is known
for certain. VI. LOiseI records that eats
without tails have a profound antipathy
toward the ordinary cat. He has. more

riety in the Isle OF Man, a species OF

THIS STAGE A MARVEL

The stage Of the Cleveland Hippodrome
is said to be the best equipped stage in
the world. Each detail of the apparatus
to be used in hippodrome entertainment
has been selected either because il has
been tried somewhere else and approved
or because it represents an evolution or
improvement upon something that has
been tried elsewhere and found wanting.
The floor space of the Cleveland stage
cover 1898 square feet. When the stage
is raised upon an equal level with the
entrance floor 1t is 115 feet to the roof and
100 feet TO the gTidirOn, considerably
higher than any other stage in America
and as high as any in the world
Beneath this floor is an immense tank
OF water with a capacity of 455. 600 gallons,
Half of this tank reaches out into the
auditorium in seni-circle and half away
back under the stage By the push of an
electric button the entire stage or any
part of It may be submerged in the tank
to any desired depth up TO ten feet BY
a series of lights the operator at any
switchboard and the performers at any
place on the stage are able TO tell the
exact depth OF the water at any time
during the performance.
Many stages of the world have immense
tanks into which floor space can be sub
merged None of them have elevators
with the colossal lifting capacity Of the
local hippodrome. The Cleveland stage is
divided into four sections running from
side to side. All Of these can be lifted
high OF plunged beneath the water in the
tank simultaneously or one can be lifted
three plunged; three lifted and one
plunged; two lifted and two plunged, &C,
at any desired moment
These sections are operated by water
power and have a lifting capacity Of 80
pounds TO the square inch. which means
that a troop of elephants could be raised
suddenly into the afr or dropped sud
denly into the basement, or plunged into
the water by simply pushing the electric
button.
Each of the floor sections of the stage
rests upon two pistons sixteen inches in
