Students of one of the big universities in this city have a cat that has utterly refused to become a mart} r to science. Its history is another instance | of the refining and elevating influence of science. Professor Blank asked J. P. Morgan, | the janitor, to get a cat for him, as he < wished to illustrate bis lecture on! “Respiration” by experiments upon the animal. Mr. Morgan succeeded in getting one with the aid of some small boys. When his students had assembled, the professor put the cat into the glass receiver of the air pump and began to pump out the air. Before the piston had time to move more than once or twice the cat began to feel very uncomfortable, and. discovering the , aperture through which the air waSr escaping, put her foot on it and thus corked the pipe and stopped the removal of the air. Several subsequent attempts to carry on the experiments were alike ineffectual, for as soon as the glass cover was [ put over her and she felt the removal I of the air the cat would put her feet over the pipe and keep them pressed there. The students, struck by the remarkable intelligence shown by the cat, asked the professor to liberate the animal and loudly cheered her self possession when the cat after coolly cleaning herself and smoothing her ruffled fur, jumped down and rubbed against the j legs of the students sitting on the front' bench. She is now permanently an- ' nexed to the college and an object of interest to all visitors.—Chicago TimesHerald. Figures Don’t L.ie. Brown—You only 50!

" FRENCH RAILWAY FARES They Are High, and y„ u n<> wnyH Get What You Pay p or A, ‘ All Americans who have reason t travel along the Riviera and from ther up to Paris are especially impressed with the shortcomings of foreign rail road management. For several wint/ months the trains running from east and west to Monte Carlo are so crowded that, t hough one has paid for his seat h a first class carriage, he has frequently to stand or to sit with 10 or 12 i n ' compartment with places for only eight For short journeys the prices aren.it unreasonable if the company provided adequate accommodations, but when a long distance is in question then the charges would appall a Croesus. Two women with their maids decided to go from Mentone to Paris last spring by the train de luxe, but found they could secure only one small compartment for two persons and for this had to wait a week. The price of each first class ticket was $25, and for each berth a supplementary charge was made of $17.40, the one night's journey from 8 in the evening until about 11 o’clock the next morning costing for each person $42.40. The maids, with eight trunks, four of which were small ones went by an earlier train, and the charge for the extra baggage was $27.20. The guard on the train de luxe after it had left Mentone informed the women that, though their tickets called for a compartment for two, the car had been changed, and Nos. 7 and 8, their numbers in the substituted car, were in a double room. The e other two berths were to be occupied by a man and woman who would get in at Cannes. Neither entreaties nor indignation was of any avail, but a quiet “It will be to 1 your interest’’ had the desired effect. The women got the room for two and the guard the extra tip. The entire cost of the journey, therefore, amounted to about $l4O. A 17 hours’ journey in the United States costs about sls or sl6, including a berth in a sleeping car, a I little more than a third of what it cost 1 in France. This French road was built mainly by government loans and soon falls completely under the government’s control, so no competing line is allowed tc be built. —New York Tribune. A friend of Admiral Dewey denies the report that the great sailor is a “howling swell.” According to this i statement the admiral is most simple l in his tastes, but has a weakness for I good clothes. “Dewey’s valet,’’he says, “claimed he had 50 suits. His civilian outfits were made for years by a man who never put a pair of scissors into the material that did not cost st!s per suit. This artist’s evening clothes —coat, vest and trousers —were $125. He made Dewey’s things for years, and when he retired from the business with a fortune he transferred Dewey and a few us his other first class customers t. his successor.
