MAURITANIA HANGS
 BETWEEN WAVES
In a Furious Gale Giant Liner Passed Test Which Ship
 builders Dreaded.

For he first time so far
 as authentic observation goes, one of the transatlantic giant
 liners has been poised on two waves. one under her bow and another under her stern. with no water between to support her frame. Ever since the launch- ing of the Mauretania and Lusi- tania there has been much spec ulatiOn among marine engineers as to what would happen if this occurred. Many have felt that there was grave danger that ow- ] ing to the great length of the ships and their tremendous weight, they would buckle under the strain.
 That these fears were ground less was demonstrated in the course of the recent voyage of the Mauretania from Liverpool to New York. The Mauretania came in with adbly abttered super |structurc, but with every plate and rivet in her hull as firm as when she started, notwithstand- ing the fact she was caught be- tween two mountainous waves, and held aloft by the bow and stern, her four propellers racing madly with nothing but the air to offer them resistance. She hung so for almost a minute. Then the forward wave rolled away, and her bow dipped down, taking on sea that rolled over her bridge, smashing and rcnding ev- erything in it's path.
 The wooden shutters on the wheelhOuSc had been closed to protect the windows. They went with the glass. The teak rail and iron stanrhions followed. and the shock against the overhang smashed away the wood work and carried away the signal wires hat go to the after end of the ship. Aloft the fury of the gale tore away he wireless apparatus and put the Mauretania out of tn,icn with inc world for six hours.

HIGH IGNITION CAT
 SPoILS EXECUTION

New London, COnn.--Thc old theory that the only way to kill a cat for sure is to put it under a pile driver for a week or sic" a bulldog after it, was vindicated for the l,217,549th time here when Herbert A. Dean, city dog and cat officer, threw an almost good cat into tank of gas. The tank is one which is kept at the pound to asphyxiate cats and dogs who are under indictment, and it had been very useful un- t'l the other day, when it explod- cd as soon as the cat touched it.
 Engineers who were called in io diagnose the case said it was a case of electric ignition, the current having been furnished by the batteries carried in ever" cats back. The carburetion O. the gas tank, they said, was cs., pecially good, and there was no fault to be found with the cats ignition.
 Evidently it was two-cycle eat, and the compression was just right when it was thrown in. There were evidences that the animals ignition was of the make-and-brcak type, as there was no trace of carboniZation and no magnetic was used. As in the case of any reliable combus- tion engine, the cat simply spark ed when the compression was highest, and there was all i'm pulse which cost the city the price of one good gas tank.
 This is the third time similar tanks have exploded, every time while they contained eat. Mr. Dean says That hereafter he will use the takns exclusively fer dogs. and will try some other snrI of treatment for electrified cats.
