Why a Cat Falls on It's Feet.
III the London Globe

rom the London tsloh.
y scientist has constructed an ingeni-
Gus model to show why a cat in falling
invaria bly, alights on its feet. This model
roughly speaking, consists of a cardboard
cylinder wherein are stuck four rods to
serve for legs, together with a tail de-
vised on similar principles. The object
of the experiment is to show that
feline's peculiar faculty depends on the
rotation of it's tail with sufficient vigor.
This faculty is specially developed by
climbing and leaping animals. such cs
members of the cat tribe, monkeys, SPUR
rels. rats and most lemurs. AS already
stated, the tail plays an important part
in the turning process. According TO the
investigator all tree-inha biting monkeys
have long tails, and there is not the
slightest doubt that these tails are of
great aid to all climbers in enabling them
TO turn in the air. The tail also serves
as balancer. as evidenced in the case
of squirrel. which may DE seen walking
along a tightly stretched Wire or string,
swinging its tail from side to side much
after the manner of a. tight-rope walker
balancing himself with pole.

The Earliest Coins.
m the Montreal Standard

From the Montreal standard.
Earliest history refers Familiarity to the
use of gold and silver as purchasing me-
dunn, but the metals were exchanged in
the form of bars or dust for many CEN
turtles. Even today the Chinese prefer
their gold and silver in bullion form.
In the great African desert a sale is for
SO many ounces of gold dust. The credit
of making the first gold coins is given
to the Lydians by Herodotus, and the
first silver coins are supposed to have
been minted on the Island of Egina SGD
E. c. There are to be found in the vari-

A Prehistoric Zoo.

THE BLACK DOG.
Corner of County of Kildare Dear to
Those Who Know It.

From the Rosary Magazine
The black bog OF kilbarron in the
County of kildare, Ireland, lies five long
miles from either railway or post office
and is considered to be at the back of
beyant entirely
There are three styles of dwellings in
the black bog, houses. cottages and cab
ms. The houses are quaint rambling edi-
to olden styles and ancient ways, unmind-
full of the great modern note which is
sweeping through Ireland today.
The cottages belong to the government
and are rented to laborers at a very low
rate: while the cabins are simply relics
of the old regime, just clay huts rooted
with straw. There are very few of the
latter standing in Ireland now.
The black bog is a dangerous place for
nightly rambles. as it aboundS in deep
holes full of inky water. But some warm
summer evening after sunset. when the
white fogs are rising all around, go down
there. all you who are city tired, and find
out how good that springy sod Will feel
to your cramped feet.
Try to short marathon along those wind
ing pathways. YOU who are weary of lifes
treadmill and see if You do not get 10
feeling like a young colt just let loose in
a clover pasture. Or some misty day in
heather and let the long. clean. wet winds
blow the burrows from your forehead
while the raindropS are patterinS on the
bracken like the wee feet of the fairies
themselves
Always enchanting. always beautiful.
even if it is at the back of beyant." the
charm of this old bog will Irvine itself
round your heart with lure strong
enough to draw you back to the wilds of
kilbarron for evermore.

Breeding New Plants.
From the Century.

New purposes are constantly entering
into the breeding of plants. We are
producing maize with extra high content
of starch and other forms with high
content of oil. The Germans breed po-
tatoes for aichol production and other
special uses. We need peaches and other
fruits for extra long shipment. We nave
peas and sweet corn specially adapted
to canning. We are beginning to breed
the disease-resisting qualities. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture is working on wilt-resisting cot
ton and watermelon, rust-reslsflnS
oat and similar things The North Da-
kota experiment station is producing
disease-resisting flax. The Maine and
Vermont experiment stations are investi-
eating the subject of blight-proof po-
tatoes. We shall probably breed blight
resisting pears, disease-free ginseng and
blight proof tomatoes. We already have
wilt-resisting and nematoid-resisting
cowpea, although not the result OF d.
rect breeding. We are constantly giving
more attention to securing plants that
have the desired qualities inherent In
themselves rather than in obtaining
these qualities by means outside the
plants.

The Mammoth African Cave.
The Scientific American

From the Scientific American
mammoth cave has been discovered
in German East Africa in Mount Nam
gonna, about an hour to the south of
Nandembo Though discovered in Au-
gust 1909. it was not explored till Feb
ruary, 1910. when the police officer, Wee
kauf, and missionary named Ambros
Mayer made a partial investigation Of
it. The entrance is forty-three meters
wide by twenty-one meters high and
the whole cave has length of 800 me-
tiers. 1t is of pipelike shape and has a
funnel-shaped opening. caused by a cave
in. 1t is in chalk mountain and caused
by water erosion. The natives had long
known of it, but concealed it's existence
from the whites. During the uprising of
1905-O6 they used it for a hiding place
for thousands. completely battling the
enemy. 1t contains spring of fresh
water. which gives it additional value as
refuge Its entrance lies in the pri-
meval forest Evidence is strong that it
has been the habitat of thousands OF
bats through untold years. 1t is hoped
that funds will be forthcoming to pro-
vide for a thorough exploration. since
this can hardly fail to yield prehistoric
remains and antiquities of great interest
and value.

Travels of a Needle.
From the London Strand.

From Inc LoDuoH StIiHu.
There are many people who, without
walking, are constantly moving some por-
ton of their bodies, and these moving por-
lions cover, in the aggregate, an amount
of space which is absolutely astounding.
Take the case of a man who scarcely
moves at ALA tailor. Seated Turkish
fashion. he plies his needle from morning
to night in order to have an overcoat or a
pair of trousers ready for an important
customer at the appointed time. His nee
die flies to and fro at the rate of about
once a second. 1t we reckon space Of
twenty inches as that covered by the
course of the needle what should YOU
imagine this distance amounts to in Il
year? The figure is. to say the least of
it, surprising-about twelve miles d day 5
work of ten hours. or nearly four thou
sand miles for q year of three hundred
working days. In a little over six years
the tailor's needle, and consequently his
hand. will have covered distance equal
to the circumference of the globe.
