It ia a common saying that If cat la dropied In any way whatever It will always alight on Ita feet. Slue a man tuiiuot lift himself by hla boot strap or a boat cannot propel Itself through the water except by preening agalnat the water In some way one may well wonder whether this la not one of the common sayings which are fallacious. The general principles involved are of such interest that the question was taken up a few years ago for consider ation at a saasion of a French scien tific society. It is a fact that it is dynamically possible for a cat to turn over, no mat ter bow dropped, and experiments huve shown that they actually do it If a balloonist or air man should fall from a great '. eight and should find that he were descending so as to strike on his head he could turn himself over so as to strike upon his feet if he kDew the proier means of accomplish ing It But the distance he would have to fall in order to hare time to turn over would be so great that he could have only an academic interest in strik ing on his feet rather than on his head, for the final result to him would ba the same in either case. Fopular Me chanics Magazine. A GENEROUS BANDIT. The Double Action Trick That Waa Turned by Cartouche. Old time bandits were much more attractive than those of today. There Is nothing chivalrous about the auto mobile robbers of America and France, as there was about such men as Car touche. Here is an anecdote of which Cartouche was the hero: One evening he was crossing tho Pont Neuf, In Farts, when he saw a poor wretch about to leap over the parapet into the Seine. The brigand stopped him and asked why he wanted to bid adieu to life. The would be sui cide informed him that he was on the point of bankruptcy and that he pre ferred facing death to facing bis cred itors. Cartouche was touched and told the man to call his creditors together on the morrow and they should !. paid in full. The creditors assembled. Cartouche went over their accounts, paid them all, got their receipts and said goodby to his grateful beneficiary. It is almost needless to add that when the creditors left Cartouche met them and relieved them of all be had given. Exchange. Legend ef the Sunken Bella. Somewhere beneath the soil of Sus sex, England, there lies a peal of bells, while in the church near by a solitary bell calls to prayer. In tho middle ages, It Is said, a certain val iant knight wished to present to the church a peal of bells that should be of use and perpetuate his memory as well, but the vessel that brought them careened on approaching the harbor, and the bells fell out and sank into the mud. Thereupon the donor declared: "Never shall the church have a chime until that peal I give It be dragged from the sea by a team of four milk white oxen." The oxen seem to have been difficult to obtain. At any rate, the fact re mains that to this day the edifice to which the pious knight made his bene faction has never possessed more than a single bell. The Wild Horta. The "wild horse." which until recent years was comparatively plentiful in the southwest and west, was the off spring of the horses Introduced Into the western continent by the Span lards. When I'lzarro and Cortes In vaded Peru and Mexico they took with them the horses (the first ever known In the new world) from which sprang the droves of mustangs and bron chos that used to roam in unfettered freedom over the plains of Texas, Cali fornia and New Mexico and the wldo pampas of South America. Some of the wild horses were of good size and very beautiful, but most of tbem. ow ing probably to lack of proper breed ing, were of the pony variety. New York American. Bow Lagged Man.
