Buffalo Woman Makes Specially OF

Buffalo. y. Y.-Greenhouses for cats

roof of this new winter runway, but
the remainder Is glass. secured from
a florist, who has retired from bust
ness. Those interested in improving
the coats of their prize Angoras
should see these fourteen good-tem-

most wintry sunshine, their fur grow

Whenever the wind blows too nip

freshly lined with builders paper, and

Short-haired cats, who have travelled
from the ends of the earth, and who
will leave the boarding house to re-
sumo their travels shortly.
Although the Angoras are a lordly
lot, and come to the boarding house
loaded down with prejudices about
what they should eat and how warm
an atmosphere they should be allowed
to breathe, gradually the little lady
of the house d~isconrages these views
until the kittens come to enjoy plain
food and blasts of fresh air. Just at
present she is working hard with a
small Angora and her two kittens.
They were very feeble on arrival,
their eyes closed with hard colds and
their bodies limp with weakness.
Beauty, the mother cat, has had about
$50 spent upon her for doctor bills,
and all three cats have to be fed
goats milk from a medicine dropper.
The milk costs thirty cents per pint.
Although the three kittens have
been at the house only a month, they

not some low-bred, short-haired blood

Taking care Of such a lot of valu-
ables," said the woman of the house,
is a great responsibility. A few
weeks ago one of my most distin-
'guished boarders undertook to walk
out alone. through a door which l
had left open just for a minute. Well,
he didn't come back. spent a lot
of money advertising, and did every
thing to find that cat. At last a
woman who sometimes works here
saw a ca which looked like Smoke

One of the most beautiful cats in
the house is Cinders, whose ~velvety
coat shows all the colors of the less
brilliant leaves. When the air is not
too chilly, Cinders loves to squirm
among the leaves which fall from the
trees into the open runway, and to
dash out when another cat ambles by,
unconscious of his presence.

GERMAN HAS A TALKING DOG
Animal Asks for Cakes When Hungry
and Alarms Servant When II
Enters Kitchen.

Berlin.-The German public has
lately been RECALLED with tales of the
increased accomplishments of Don, a
talking dog.
For Ave years Don, who is the prop
ierty OF Herr Ebers. a gamekeeper of
the royal hunting preserves of Kol-
bitz-Letxlinger. Q Hamburg, has
been noted for hts powers OF speech.
He began to learn at the & of 6
months, and 10Y has a useful, IL linn
Iited, vocabulary.
When the puppy Don was standing
by his masters side at dinner time
enc day Herr Ebers said, You want
something. do your" To every ones
amusement Don replied in a deep.
but clear tone, "Haben, haben!"
cWant. want!")
The eamekseper at once started to
develop the dogs talent. In reply to
What is your name!" he learnt to
say Don" and to What's the mat
teri" he answers Hunger. He came
to say "Kuchen" (cakes) with parti-
cular distinctness. When cakes are
in view he repeats, "Kutchen, haben,
haben!" any number of times and
II his plea is unanswered he adds
Hunger" with a long drawn empha-
sis on the last syllable.
Those who hear the dog talk for
the first time are often half-frightened
so uncanny is the impression. One
day Don wandered into the kitchen of
a working woman who was slicing
sausages. He exclaimed, "Don-hun-
ger-want!' The housewife, after a
moments stupefaction. dashed from
the room In a fright, leaving the sau-
sages for Don.

Where Abraham EisheJ.

Mrs. Victoria de Bunsen in 1.-The

corning Abraham which will be new
to many readers. She learned of it
while at Edessa, the traditional Or of
the Chaldees. She was shown there
large OblOng tank Of water so filed
with fishes resting just below the sur
face Of the water that their fins and
backs seemed almost wedged together
so AS to form "an almost solid layer
of silvery life"
'"The guardian Of the mosque throws
some meal into the water, and the fish
jump high TO catch 1t, a great living
pyramid, Of which those which Jump
the highest form the pinnacle. The
tradition is that Abraham as a child
fished in the tank; hence the fish were
considered sacred. No single one has
been caught or killed to this day. In
deed, death would Overtake the man

Sir Oliver Lodge stated that the
problem OF securing protection from
lightning consisted In finding the best
method Of dissipating the enormous
energy Of the fash, but that it was not
wise to get rid OF the energy too
quickly. A thin iron wire is consid-
cred the best lightning conductor from
the electrical point Of view, but 1t is
almost impossible to protect a building
from lightning unless it is completely
enyeloped in a metal cage. 1t is by no
means true that a building is safe

PLATlNlZED GLASS.
pses Not Lose lts Transparency, sss
lt Produces an Odd and Tricky
Kind of Mirror.

Platinized glass consists OF piece OF
glass coated with an exceedingly thin
layer of a liquid charged with plat-
num and then raised to a red heat
The platinum becomes united to the
glass in such a way as to form an odd
kind Of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency, and yet If one places 1t
against wall and looks at it he sees
his image as in an ordinary looking
glass. But when light is allowed TO
come through the glass from the other
side, as when it is placed in a window.
It appears perfectly transparent, Ike
ordinary glass.
BY constructing a window OF plati-
atzed glass one could stand close behind,
the panes in an uniIEuminated room
and behold clearly everything going
on outside, while passersby looking at
the window would behold only a fine
mirror or set of mirrors in which their
own figures would be reflected while
the person inside remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been
contrfved with the aid of this glass.
In one a person seeing what appears
TO be an ordinary mirror approaches 1t
TO gaze upon himself. A sudden
change in the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back. where
upon it instantly becomes transparent.
