Cats Haze Positive
Likes and DisIikes

Few persons really know their cats
Yet cats can talk, though it is a dumb
language.
Give your cat for dinner something
she doesn't like, and watch her sniff
IT, shake her right paw, and walk
away in disgust. If she be really
hungry and no other food offers she
will return to the disliked dish, max
ing queer cackling hiss as she eats
1t, and saying, Must have 1t If there's
nothing else in the larder."
Watch her smile at you when she
is pleased. She does this by closing
her eyes very slowly and opening
them again. A cat will smile" like
this every time when spoken to by
some one she loves, says the Spring
field Republican
When In absolute ecstasy she will
paw the air with outstretched claws
In making a new friend she will arch
her back and hold up a trembling tail,
saying, Il know you like me-"
II there be sayory smell she will
walk round and round your legs, rub
bling them hard, and asking you to
hurry with dinner"
1t is wonderful how domesticated
the cat has become. Yet we have only
to see her knead her bed before set
Ting to realize that the wild animal
strain persists In her, for her ances-
tors turned round and round and
round and kneaded their beds to
soften the forest growths.

Sees Resin as Basis
of Diamond Formation

Similarity between the X-ray pic
lures Of the lattice structure Of dia-
mOnd crystals and Of decaterpene,
resinous substance, is the basis for the
claim advanced by Herr Decker,
Jena chemist, that diamonds originated
from this material under enormous
pressure and possibly heat. during
long periods Of time, according to the
Berlin correspondent Of Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry.
Diamonds have long been known to
be pure carbon in crystalline form, but
what the original carbonaceous mate
rial was out of which they developed
has been subject Of dispute. Resins
contain hydrogen as well as carbon,
and the theory Of the German scientist
assumes that, under the conditions Of
diamond formation, the hydrogen was
literally slowly squeezed out of the
raw material until at last nothing but
pure crystalline carbon was left.

lister Of finance, the event is a nine
days wonder, observes the Boston
Globe.
Getting married represents one Of
the chief businesses Of the human
race. 1t Il supposed that women are
more concerned with 1t than men. but
that may be disputed. Some men have
been known to acquire fortunes and
other men TO obtain positions By ree-

Whenever the wedding bells ring most
people stop TO appraise the alliance.
1t Is curious fact that very few
marriages are entirely satisfactory to
the relatives Of both parties. The
whisper goes around that "she might
have done better" or that "he could
have found a wife who would have
been Of more help In his career"
In this endless discussion of mar
riages there is ground for the sus-
picion that the democratic United
States Is a trife aristocratic after all.
When the question Of wife or a hus-
band comes up IL is treated as though
there were as many gradations Of
caste In American life as among the
population Of India. And yet the fed

The Niles Source

The question of the source of the
Nile Is at once the oldest and the most
recent Of geography. The first Euro
pean to lay claim to having discov.
cred the true source was James Bruce.
The Scotch explorer believed that the
middle one of the three branches,
called the Blue Nile, was the true riv-
er. 1t was later discovered that he
bed been mistaken In bis assumptions.
The ancients believed that the western
most branch, called the White Nile,
was the true Nile. The ancients were
right and Bruce was wrong. Many
explorers sought 10 trace the White
Nile TO its source, but the greatest dis
covery Of all, that the Nile really rise

Father of Mail Service

Mail coaches were introduced into
England in the year 1854 by one John
Palmer of Bath. This worthy gentle
man suffered much inconvenience from
the mail leaving London on Monday
and not reaching Bath until Wednes-
day. He travelled the country advo-
eating reform, and was set down as a
bore. But the system Of flying mails
be was able to inaugurate lasted until
the days Of railways. Still, it was not
much better than the system Of the
Roman mails, as established in the
Third century, by which it seems pos
slble that letters might have reached
Rome. from England in three or four
days u relays of galloping chariots
could cover a thousand miles at IA
miles an hour.

NATIONAL GUARD
EFFICIENCY LAUDED
Increased Appropriations for
Training Earned, Speakers
Tell Adjutants General.

Efficiency OF the National Guard of
the United States has been RESPONSE
BILE for it's obtaining increased appro-
priations for its training, according to
speakers today at the conference OF
adjutants general of the National
Guard of the several States in session
at the War Department. Col. d. John
Markey. list Maryland Infantry, Fred
erick, Md, told the adjutants general
that this efficiency of the citizen SOL
diers was making an impression on
the members of Congress and was
Tightening materially the work of the
legislative committee of the National
Guard Association of the United States
in its efforts to get Congress to ap-
propriate sufficient money to maintain
the guard.
Warned of Trouble Ahead.
Brig. Gen. NJ. A. Rekord of the Ma
tional Guard of Maryland told the
representatives of the various States
that they must be prepared at the
next session Of Congress to firmly
resist the efforts that will be made
to deny them rental allowances while
on training duty for periods of less
than 80 days. He said that this al
lowance was nothing more than an
increase in pay. and AS the regular
officers received it, should the
members of the National Guard. He
said Senator Wadsworth of New
York, chairman of the Senate mill
tary affairs committee, made an ef-
fort to have this allowance cut off
during the consideration of the War
Department appropriation bill at the
last session; nevertheless the Nation
al Guard officers were able to get him
not to press it.
Col. James F.. Moss spoke on the
work of the United States Flag AS
sociation Maj Aurand, Ordnance De-
partment, told of the plan for the
distribution of war trophies to the
various States. He said that as soon
as regulations were drawn up the
distribution would be started. Motor
transportat ation for military forces was
discussed by Maj. Mcclure, Quarter
master DEPARTMENT.
Should Invite Camp Inspections.
Col. Markey urged the adjutants
general to invite their representa-
tives in Congress to visit the train
Ing camps in their respective States
during the Summer months He
pointed out that if the national leg
islators were taken in the field and
shown just what the National Guard
was doing he felt sure it would make
an impression that would be felt
when the appropriations for the Ma
tional Guard for next year are up for
consideration in the Federal House
and Senate.
The conference was originally to
have met for only five days, but has
been unable to complete the long
program mapped out for it, and it will
continue in session through tomor
row.
