- NCE upon a time there was a
L y wise old rat with sensitive green
whiskers. His whiskers were of
great use to him, because they were so
sensitive that they always warned him
when a cat was near.
How did they do it?
Why, they acted just like the receiv-
ing station of a wireless telegraph ap-
paratus, for which the cats whiskers
were the sending station.
You know that in order to send
wireless telegraph message you have
to have two stations, consisting of
powerful electric machines and wires
strung on great high poles. The ma
chine makes the messages leap off the
wires, and they spread out through the
air Just like the ripples when you
throw a stone into pool of water.
When they meet a receiving station,
with it's great high poles, they catch
on the wires and slide down into the
station, and the message can be read.
The wise old rat grew very fat, be-
cause whenever cat as much as
peeked in through the doorway his
whiskers began TO culver and he
whisked away into his hole before she
could get anywhere near him. The
people in the house where the rat lived
used to say unkind things to the cats
because the old rat had eaten up so
much food and they could not catch
him.
Finally the cats held meeting on
the back fence to talk it all over and
decide what they should do. But the
more they yowled and the more they
howled and the madder the people got
who heard them and did not know they
were talking over important affairs
the further they were from discover
ing a way to catch the wise old rat.
At last a eat who lived In the house
with an electrician spoke up and said:
II know from what l have heard my
owner say that the rats whiskers
would not culver IL eat without whis-
kers were in the room, because they
act just like a wireless telegraph APP

paratus. If you pussies will all prom
ise not to laugh at me / will shave off
my whiskers and try to catch him that
way"
So they all promised not to laugh at
her-although a cat without whskers
looks very funny indeed-and she used
her tail for shaving brush and
shaved off her whiskers.
The very next night she crept into
the room where the fat old rat was
eating away as hard as he could.
Sure enough it turned out exactly as
the cat who knew all about electricity
had said it would. Since the cats
whiskers were shorn off there was no
warning sent out to the old rat. His
whiskers didn't quiver at all and the
cat pounced on him all of a sudden
and carried him off to show to the peo-
pie in the house.
You see there is always more or less
electricity in a cat; as you will find If
you stroke one long enough, and that
is how the pussy cat happened to think
that her whiskers acted like the cleo
trical sending station OF wireless
telegraph apparatus.
But it was not only the wise old rat
who suffered because of this electrical
experiment. Poor pussy's appea rance
was permanently damaged, for her
whiskers never grew again.
