Semi-Wild Cats Earn
Keen in War on Re- Is

The Port of London authority has
Its own police force and highly quail
fed specialists govern its various de-
partments; but there Is one kind Of
thief that man himself can do little
against and that Is the rat So the
P. L. A., as 1t is known, keeps a small
army Of cats to wage never ending
war with the rodents.
Originally the ancestors of the cats
were ordinary house cats, but their
descendants have returned to a semi
wild state, and will have little to do
with man directly; they will not toll
crate handling or petting and will
bite and scratch any one that at
tempts to fondle them.
The sleek coats Of fur of their an
cestors is replaced by ill-kept wiry
hair, matted with dirt and blood from
their encounters with their enemy.
They are seen only at night and
on holidays when the docks are de-
serted. In the daytime they sleep
and wait for the darkness to come.
One official attempted to save
money few years ago and stopped
feeding and housing them. The cats,
finding that they were uncared for
left the docks and the p. L. A. i'm
mediately began to suffer heavy losses
from the rats, so now the cats are
amply taken care of.

Tame Eagle Hunts as
Did Old.Time Falcon

Capt G. w. Knight, English bird
photographer, owns the only tame
eagle in the world which will hunt
from his wrist like falcons did in
days Of old.
Training the eagle. Captain Knight
told a writer for the American Mag
azine, was one of the most painstak-
ing Jobs he has ever attempted, not
even excluding dropping himself over
cliffs to photograph the savage birds
in their aeries.
when l received this bird" said
Knight, "he weighed 80 pounds and
was very savage. In order to cure
him Of fear, placed him in dark
room. where he would not see strange
people and sights. fed him in the
dark at first until he would eat from
my hand as stroked him with a
feather. Later fed him by candle
light and then by daylight. He had
absolutely no fear of me.
"At first unhOoded him and tempt
ed him to fly to my hand to get a
piece Of meat. Then | released him
at the end of long leash. After some
time ! found could release him to
60 after birds which were his prey
and he would invariably return"

Happiness of Heaven
Possibility on Earth !?

Some real lives do-for certain days
or years-actually anticipate the hap
plness Of heaven; and, l believe, If
such perfect happiness is once felt by
good people Ito the wicked it never
comes), Its sweet effect is never
wholly lost. Whatever trials follow,
whatever pains Of sickness or shades
Of death, the glory precedent still
shines through, cheering the keen
anguish and tinging the deep cloud.
l will go further. do believe there
are some human beings so born, so
reared, so guided from a soft cradle
to calm and late grave that no ex-
cessive suffering attends them on the
journey. And often these are not
pampered, selfish beings, but natures
elect, harmonious and benign; men
and women mild with charity, kind
agents Of Gods kind attributes. But
1t is not so for all What then? His
will be done, as done II sure will be,
whether we humble ourselves to resig-
nation or not.-Charlotte Bronte.

Storms That Reverse,

The weather bureau says that the
belief that storms reverse with equal
severity is true of the typical cyclone
Of the tropics, such as the hurricane
Of the West Indies and the typhoon
Of the China sea. These storms con-
sist Of more or less circularly rotat-
ing winds about a practically calm
center. Hence, when such a storm
passes centrally over a given place
that place experiences strong to VIC
lent winds in the opposite direction
from those Of an hour previous. This
statement is true also Of the tornado.
though In this case the duration is
very much less often only a minute
or two. But II is not true Of other
storms, such as the widespread rain
or snow storm Of middle ATTITUDES.

Many Still Lay Claim
to Legendary Estate

Manhattan's richest Robert Ed

OF whose death and burial are I'M
settled. He would be the richest, that
is, If lie lived today, for his heirs, at
different times, have started suits
against the Trinity Church corpora
ton, one Of New York's greatest land
holders, for sums as large as $780,
10000.
Edwards, his heirs claim, was the
master Of an English ship who re-
celved grant of land in what is
now New York from King George III
about 1850. They assert that the
grant was a tract with the approx.
mate boundaries of Christopher
Spring and Greenwich streets and
further say that the shipmaster
leased 1t to the Trinity Church Burial
Corporation in 1778.
About 125 of the heirs, mostly resi-
dents of Virginia and North Caro-
lima, brought suit against Trinity
church few years ago. The suit
was dismissed, but some of them said
they would continue to fight for the
rights Of the dead mariner.

Ringing Of the AnRelus.

'The history of the Angelus," says
Herbert Thurston, as by no means
easy to trace with confidence.
In the first place, 1t is certain that
the Angelus at midday and in the
morning were Of later introduction
than the evening Angelus. Secondly, it
is certain that the midday Angelus,
which is the most recent of the three,
was not mere development or imlta-
ton Of the morning and evening devo-
ton. Thirdly, there can be no doubt
that the practice Of saying three Hail
Marys In the evening somewhere
about sunset had become general
throughout Europe In the first half of
the Fourteenth century, and that 1t
was recommended and indulgenced by
Pope John XXII in 1918 and 1927"
