COYOTES AND KITTENS PLAY
How the Result Of Cats Adoption Of
Wild Cubs Seems to Be Work
In Out

In addition to an already large fam
fly Of kittens, a cat which belongs to
the NJ Brent family Of South Fork
has adopted two coyote puppies
Several weeks ago when w. w.

captured several very small coyote
puppies, says a western newspaper.
When shown NJ the Brent farmhouse
some Of the children wanted the little
coyotes and paid their captors for two
of them.
The little coyotes were placed among
the kittens belonging to the old fam
lily cat and after a careful scrutiny
and few shifts, the old cat began
mothering them the same as her own
kittens.
Now the cats family Of kittens and
the two adopted coyote puppies are
nearly two months old and all live to

getting much bigger than the kittens
and are playful and mischievous. In
the rough-and-t tussles they are
continually staging the coyotes are
stronger, but the kittens are more nc.
tive, so Il is about an even match as
yet. While the coyotes can easily
wallop the kittens on a straight-out
fight, yet the latter, when on the de-

and keep the coyote puppies at bay
by the rapid kicks OF hind legs and

When we, in common with so many

that each case would have the full

Japanese Easy to Learn.

Sir Dennison Ross, director of the
London School of Oriental Studies. In
an exhortation to his c%ountrymen to
learn japanese, says that this is one
of the easiest languages of the world
to pronounce. Most of the words end
In vowels and o n Of the consonants
offers any difficulties"
The structure of Japanese is very
peculiar and very strange to the be-
ginner. 1t is hard to realize a gram
mar which recognizes no persons and
no genders-but such is the case with
japanese. The language also has no
relative p~ronouns.
However, there is no reason why
people, whose mother tongue is Eng
lish, should fight shy of the language.
For practical. everyday purposes. six
months study of the spoken tongue
will carry an intelligent man a long
way" provided he has competent
teachers.-FrOm the Living Age.

THEIR ESTIMATES TOO Low
Their Figures Concerning the
Weight Of Crowds.

Interesting experiments were made
some time g at Harvard university
which seem to demonstrate that en-
gineers usually underestimate the
maximum loading caused by dense
crowds on bridges, floors and plat
forms. Forty men averaging 1853
pounds in weight placed in a box six
feet square caused an average pres
sure of 1S1 pounds to the square foot
on the floor.
An engineer has estimated the
weight per square foot Of the densest
crowds on the New York elevated rail-
ways at only 40 pounds, but since the
Harvard experiments the opinion has
been expressed that the maximum
loading on the elevated cars and plat.
forms may be nearer ISL than As
pounds. This applies to other close
packed crowds.

OF 1914
Blue Cross Representative Says
Dogs Saved France.
Animals In Advanced Posts Warned
of impending Attacks While Elk
hausied MEN Were Sleeping.

Mrs. L. Hathaway Turnbull. the
most active member of the Blue Cross
society, which seeks to do for an
imals what the Red Cross does for
human beings, has just arrived in this
country TO give lectures on animals
and to show a series of motion pic
lures demonstrating the work of four
footed soldiers In the war. The first
words of Mrs. Turnbull were not of
admiration for the Woolworth tower
or delight at the Great White Way,
but of horror for the condition of New
York cats.
Never In my life have | seen such
thin, sick, neglected, starved little
creatures" she said a few days ago.
ave passed one of them OH our way
to the hotel the very first day, and
| was surprised at its appearance
one would never see an lifted cat In
London-but | thought 1t must be an
exception. But the city is full Of
them. You provide inspection for
your ice and your milk, you have SAN
itary regulations for your food-and
what earthly good do you think it is
going TO do, If you allow your cats to
wander about the streets starved and
diseased? II is a blot upon the city,
and before long you will learn that if
you neglect you cats your children
will perish. for there is no creature
that so readily carries disease. And
there is nothing that is more difficult
than TO keep children and cats apart,
and to keep cats from tainting food.
"ln London we have public lethal
chambers where pets too sick to be
cured can be put to death, and | hope
TO be able to raise sufficient funds by
lectures and motion pictures to estab-
fish the ame thing in New York.
Animals have rights everything in
nature has rights. And it seem
strange that more people do not I'M
derstand it. For | am convinced that
1t is ignorance more than cruelty that
makes people unkind.
mo one who has seen what | saw
animals do for mankind during the
war could fail to appreciate their use
fulness. A great deal has been said
for dogs, and hOrses-but what of the
little cat | saw that killed 20 rats In
10 minutes in a trench? A soldier
could tell you how much that meant,
and why they struggled the little crea-
lures under their coats when they
moved away, and why they fed them
out Of their trenchers.
Every domesticated animal did it's
bit for the war;; pigeons, cats. dogs,
camels, elephants, horses and the
American mule-and the mule made
the biggest hit, for he eats the least,
works the hardest, kicks the worst
and causes the most cussing of them
all. But the animals were neglected
until we learned hat their lives meant
the lives of men.
Dogs saved the French army in
1914, when there were so few men
that the regular number for an out
post was two men and a dog. Nature
had her way with the men-they were
obliged to sleep. The dogs seemed
to sleep. And it is a matter of
history that no outpost with a dog was
ever surprised by an attack. The
dogs not only warned of an approach,
but were able to indicate whether the
attacking party was large or SMALL
