WHY CAT HAS NINE LIVES
Has Ceased to Be a Question to This
Official Cat and Dog
Executioner

New London, Conn.-Why a cat has
nine lives ceases to be a question. The
presence of electricity explains it.
This important contribution to sci
entifc knowledge is made by Herbert
A. Dean of Providence, who holds the
delightful job of official cat and dog
eXecutioner in Providence and New
London.
He has cut short the careers of nu-
merous dogs here by asphyxiation in
a large tank. None of them gave Dean
a bit of trouble.
Several months ago he placed a cat
in the gas tank and turned on the
fumes. Within a few minutes the tank
exploded, almost c%onsigning Dean and
his assistant, Earl Brown, to the fate
decided OF for the cat.
Dean thought that was just an ordi-
nary accident, but the other day when
a second cat was tossed in to the
tank, the death chamber blew up
again. Brown was slightly injured
and Deans hair was singed. What
remains of the tank will never form a
topic of conversation.
Dean, seeking an explanation. went
to the Office of the New London Gas
and Electric Company and told his
story. One of the officials laughed
and said that when a cat is thrown in
to the tank the feline arches it's back
and by rubbing the same against the
side of the tank generates SO much
electricity that an explosion is inevi-
table.
The gas expert said that this was
so because one of his engineers who
had looked into the thing said it was
30.

Chiffon waists are still in strong

with handsome white laces. The touch
of color corresponding to the tone of
the suit is supplied by the chiffon,

CLUBS OF LONDON
Aristocratic Resorts on PiccadiI.
Iy Street Are Passing.
Grounds Upon Which They Are Stu
ated Are Now Too Valuable for
Purpose-oId Organizations Seek
ing New Locations.

London.-The most famous street
of clubs in the world is likely before
long to lose it's character. The utili-
tarianism-sometimes described as
Americanism-which introduced ice
and electric subways into London's
daily life, has decreed that Piccadilly
shall no longer be sacrosanct to clubs.
They will have to look for other quar-
tiers.
In the very heart of clubland a large
hotel will shortly be built. Negotia-
lions are in progress to acquire other
sites in Piccadilly for similar pur-
poses. Theatrical managers, even. pic
ture show proprietors, are casting en-
vious eyes upon stately houses, when
in the old days the three bottle" men
were bundled de~corously into horse
cabs and sent on their drunken way
rejoicing. The leases under which
the older clubs secured their prem
ises are eXpiring-most of them are,
according to English custom, for nine
ty-nine years.
The majority of the Piccadilly clubs
only pay a mere song for their homes.
In some cases the original owner of
the property was a member of the
club and leased the land or building
for a "peppercorn," or nominal sum,
to his own organization. Such de-
s%cendants of these generous folk as
Sir Richard Sutton, who owns a good
deal of the land, look at the matter
in a different light. The value of Pic
cadilly sites is about $50 per square
foot. By evicting a club the owner
of the property in question automatic
ally acquires a small fortune, either
by building himself or renting to
some enterprising hotel, store or the
alter.
The subordination of the picturesque
to the %utilitarian in Piccadilly will
probably be complete within the next
ten years. The trend of business and
Of traffic in London today is toward
the West End. Centers half way be-
tween west and east, which formerly
surged nightly with crowds, are now
deserted. At the moment the Ritz
and Berkeley hotels, which stand half
way between Piccadilly. Circus and
Hyde Park, mark the limit of the hotel

Ei0RE ATLANTIC
LINERS REQUIRED
CONGESTION ON EXISTING STEAM
SHIPS ON ACCOUNT OF CANA
DIAN IMMIGRATION.

1t is reported that eight new Trans
Atlantic liners are under construction
for the exclusive use of the Canadian
Trade. These are being built by the
White Star, Canadian Pacific and
Cunard Companies.
The liners to be built for the White
Star are to be of the same type as the
L%aurentic and Majestic, and will re-
place the Canada and Teutonic. The
Cunard Lines new steamer, Ascania,
has already completed successfully
her maiden voyage from England to
Montreal, and her sister ship will be
launched early next year.
1t Is predicted that the Canadian
Northern will not be slow in following
the example Of the other big concerns,
as it is a matter of common belief that
Canada, more than any other In the
world, will be the country Of the fu-
ture, and the best field for investment
by shipping interests.
An official of one of the companies
already building steamers for this
trade told the American yesterday
that the ideal steamer for this service
Is the two-cabin boat, having accom-
mediation for s~econd-class and steer
age passengers only.
1--WE do not expect that the $4,000
cabin de luxe class will travel be-
tween Canada and England very ex-
t~ensively," he said, "but the business
that is to be obtained there will be
immensely lucrative, and for the next
ten years the eyes of the shipping
world will be riveted on Canada. The
Panama Can; undoubtedly will re-
ceive a lot Of attention, but the bust
ness in that route will be nothing COM
pared with the Canadian trade for the
immediate future. Panama will de-
velop and become bigger in the years
to come, but at the present we are
most concerned with the tremendous
tide Of immigration that is being d.

Dominion.
