Experts have held that the so-called
"cat" of the ancient Romans and
Greeks ("ailurus," the wavy-tailed
one) was not cat at all, but kind
of weasel. The mummified Egyptian

even If certain peculiarities about its
teeth make 1t difficult to regard 1t as
near relative of the modern domes-
tic puss.
The exact origin of the latter re-
mains puzzle, 1t appears first mys-
teriously, in the middle ages, when it
was decidedly rare and highly priced
throughout Europe, though the wil6>
cat still abounded everywhere. And
experts have not been able to satisfy
themselves that the domestic cat and
the wild one are really the same.

orialn of Amerloa,s Name

1t is curious chance that America
received its name from German
geographer. Old Prof Waldseemuel.
Ter made mistake, indeed, when he
named the new countries at Brazil
after the Florentine Amerigo YES
pucci 1t would have been far more
just to name the new world after Co
lumbus, but though Waldseemueller
recognized his mistake and withdrew
the name, it remained in use. And
curiously enough, that Amerigo Yes
pucci whose name gave origin to the
name of America, had himself, though
an Italian, still a German family
name, Emmerich, Emery in English
Thus America is a continent with
German name. the meaning OF which
might, perhaps, be interpreted as
rich in corn" If this is correct, Prof.
Waldseemueller chose an incorrect
but appropriate name.-Prof. AL
brecht Penck, in Science.
