The cat's whiskers are absolutely necessary to it, according to the latest report of some, naturalists. The whiskers are as long as the cat's hsed >* wide, and the hea« is as wide as the body, so wherever the whiskers go there may the cat go also. Tho tiny, delicate hairs grow from a gjand and are nerved to the utmost sensibility. No matter how light the touch of the hair against an obstacle it is instantly felt by the cat;.
Tho latest in rat traps is most imposing in appearance, and is equipped with a mirror in one of its compartments. This, however, is not intended to cater to the vanity of the rodents, but to lure them.to destruction. It is statiored just behind the bait, and the rat or mouse, seeing what it believes is a rival beating it to the food, rushes at the imago and thereby plunges into an interior apartment, worn which there is so escape.
