QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Q. Can a cat see in the dark?

O. Can a cat see in the dark?
A. A cat can see better In the dusk
than can a humap being because the
cats eyes are sensitive to ultra violet
rays. It's pupils are capable of greater
expansion than those of man or of
almost any other animal, thus admit
ting more light, The cat uses it's whis-
kers as feelers in the dark. It's sure
footedness is a great help to it. So
it gets along better in the dark than
most animals. The belief that it can
see by night as well as by day Is, how
ever, erroneous.
Q. Is it true that the moon has anv
influence on the growth OF crops.

WINGED that the moon has absolutely no

So the war over the question Of who
won the war goes merrily on.
The whole question of rank is but
temporary, for all officers with the ex-
ception of the few who have been es-
pecially promoted go back to their pre-
war status on June 80, next.
The present law provides for the
maintenance of $4,000 officers. Resig-
nations have reduced that staff to
~ OOo or this 1900 between nine and
ten thousand are regular army men.
Between seven and eight thousand are
officers who came into the service for
the emergency
These officers are still holding their
emergency ranks. They were all to
have been dropped the first of last No
Vember but it was found that they were
the experts, the detail men. in much of
that complicated organization which had
grown up so rapidly. 1t would virtual
ly scrap many of the detail organiza-
lions to discharge these men. So they
have been retained at their emergency
ranks. Most of them are men who
earn much more than their army pay
outside. There was a plan for a blank
ct reduction Of all such officers, but the
final decision was that it was unnec-
essary These experts are being dis
charged as rapidly as their services
can be dispensed with, and unless there
is some legislation providing for their
retention, all will go on June 30.
