The general principles involved are of
such interest that the question was
taken up a few years ago for consider

It is a fact that it is dynamically
possible for a cat to turn over, no mat

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

point of bankruptcy and that he pre
ferred facing death to facing bis cred

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

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
