Answers to Queries

KILKENNY CATS-A. o. T. S., City. What
is the origin of the saying. They fought like
Kilkenny eats?
The following Is given as the origin:
During the rebellion in Ireland in
1903 Kilkenny was garrisoned by a
troop of Hessian soldiers who amused
themselves in barracks by tying two
cats together by their tails and throw :
ing them across a clothesline to fight.
The officers hearing of this cruel prac-
tice resolved to stop 1t and deputed
one of their number to watch. The
soldiers. on their part, set a man to
watch for the coming oficer. One day
the sentinel neglected his duty, and
the heavy tramp Of the officer was
heard ascending the stairs. One of
the troopers with his sword cut the
tails of the cats as they hung across
the line, and the felines, minus their
tails. escaped through an open window.
When the officer noticed the two bleed
ing tails on the line he was coolly
told that the two cats had been fight
ing and had devoured each other all
but the tail"
PRECIPITAT1oN-A. S.. City. Why is 1t
that there is more rain in the belt. OF. the

follows, while in the tropical Gains the
reverse is the rule.
DEER-S. L. B., City. While out hunting

female deer and fawn from both?
The male has antlers and the female
does not. 1t is frequently impossible TO
distinguish a fawn as the hunter sell
dom gets near enough.

clave was being held in this city at
