CUT UP CATS TO SEE INSIDE
SeWed Together Animal Is None the
Worse-Judge Doubts Medical Stu
dents Story and Fines Him.

Kansas City, Mo.-When c.. P. Cal
loway, a student in the Kansas City
Veterinary hospital. was two years
old he was given a neat zinc watch at
Christmas time. Within an hour he
knew what was inside of it and within
another hour he had it back in its
proper shape and going again. When
he came to school here he did not
hesitate to tell H. l.. Wright, his room
mate, about the watch incidents OF
his childhood, in all of which every
thing came out Of something and
some Of it went back. Despite the
stories and the fact that Mr.. Gallo
way was attending a veterinary col
lege. Mr.. Wright flew IN the face of
fate and kept a cat.
In court Wright testified that the
operation was almost over when he
detected the smell of ether and found
Galloway operating on the room pet.
He reprimanded him, he said, and told
him to sew the cat up Immediately
and not to be so curious thereafter.
The cat was duly sewed up, regained
her feet and after glazing at Galloway,
Indignantly and with back curved for
several minutes, turned on her paws
and left the. room-mates' fat. She was
apparently zone the worse for the in
ventory taken by Galloway.
Galloway, who was summoned to
court by the angry Mr.. Wright. said
that he thought it the proper and sci
entific thing to do, and that he would
not have thought of meddling with
the cat had he not felt perfectly conf
dent Of putting everything back as he
found it. The court failed tc see the
merit of his research and he was
fined $25.

The strange seasons bring about
the long days and nights. 1t seems like
another planet. The moonlight plays
peculiar tricks with shadows upon the
snow. Distances are lessened or
heightened, so that one is sometimes
deceived into making dangerous false

years Older than |. He was just com
pleting his training in driving and
managing a team of dogs and a
sledge. He took me with him on his
hrst trip, when he demonstrated that
he was a fu~ll-tledged man, capable of
controlling the dogs. The Eskimos
think that a boy is a man when he car
drive q team OF dogs, no matter how
young he IS. It's q somewhat similar
feeling to that which recognizes an
American boy as a man when he puts
on long trousers.
Now, driving a team OF dogs in the
snoWland is not IS easy as it sounds.
for there the driver holds no reins,
but controls his DOGS with d whip
and keeps them In check with that.
These whips arc quite short. but the.
lash is long enough to reach the
fartRest dog, three or four yards away.
By a clever twist OF this lash the
driver IS able to convey lis directions
70 each dog. It is little wonder thai
the Eskimo boys are proud when they
are able to master a team, for it IS a
real feat.
When ! made that trip with nv
little friend he was able to nae
his lash so well that every time he
swung ii behind him the end coiled
around my neck, but / was having too
good a time to mind, and it really
didn't hurt, anyway, one is always SO

The purest socialistic state exists
as far as the management of their
property and resources goes. If two

successful, but the other is not, then
it is a matter Of course that the lucky
one must share his game with the
other. There is no feeling Of mine

tablished fact among them.
This is true, too, of their houses.
They build a cluster of huts and when
they start off for other districts these
houses are left for the other tribes

fallacy that Eskimos live only in the

also.
The natives have long knives
made from walruss tusks and sharp
ened. With these they cut square
blocks of ice. They pile them up in
the shape of an inverted cup until
they are all finished but the top. The
block for this place is cut exactly to
ut, and their exquisite skill always
it carefully enough to fit
without a fault. This block IS dropped
right into position. 1t settles with an
almost metallic click.
Entrance to the igloos is gained

lance away; mi crawls to get inside.
