WHY -
Cat*’ Eyes Are So Easily Seen
on a Dark Night
Have you ever wondered why It Is
you can see the eyes of a cat gleam
ing in the dark, while the eyes of bu
nmns and certain other animals do not
hove this effect? The reason for this
phenomenon, says Pathfinder Maga
zine, Is that cats and other nocturnal
animals are equipped with a special
reflecting membrane in the back of the
eye, which makes the eye more sensi
tive In semi darkness by focusing all
the light possible upon the retina. It
is this retlected light that we see
when a cat watches us in the dark.
Human eyes lacking In pigment, and
especially albinos, explains the 'Bet
ter Vision bureau, may also glisten In
(lie dark, hut the pigment of normal
eyes will absorb the light.
It was the eye of the cat that sug
gested the Invention of the signs you
see on the roads to warm autoists to
stop. While these signs are not light
ed, they reflect the light of any ap
proaching auto whose lamps are light
ed. The signs are made up of a num
her of glass or metallic plates which
are set at such an angle that the light
Is thrown back.
These signs of course are much
cheaper than signs which require the
use of electric current.
Why Gibraltar Monkeys
Are Given Special Care
Do you know that there is an Otlicer
In Charge of Apes at Gibraltar, and
that a grant of money for looking after
these mischievous animals is Included
in tlie colony’s official estimates every
year?
These apes, of which, since the ar
rival of two babies the other day
(there are ten now), are the lost wild
monkeys in Europe. But that isn't the
only reason why they are preserved so
carefully, or why it is a crime to in
jure or molest them, in spite of the
damage they do.
The animals are favored for a very
special reason. There is n legeud,
which says: “As long as the apes In
habit Gibraltar, Britain will keep pos
session of the Bock.”
Now, the British authorities aren’t
superstitious—but they know that the
legeud is believed implicitly by the
people of Gibraltar. So it is good
policy that the apes should be pre
served.—Answers Magazine.
Why Big Ben Is Faulty
How many people know that the
note of Big Ben is faulty? This fa
mous hell cracked soon after It was
placed In position, and was out of use
for some years. Ttien It was partially
turned around, so ttiat the hammer
strokes—it is struck by a hammer, In
stead of being swung, to produce Its
note—should fall on a different ex
panse of metal.
The result is the note which we
know—and which Britons all over the
world have learned to love. Now,
however, a proposal has been made
that tlie bell should be taken down and
recast, so that it should get a ’’true”
note instead of the one to which we
have grown accustomed.
The case for recasting Is plausible
enough, and this is just the sort of
tiling that olllclnldom, careless of sen
timent, very often does.
Fortunately, to take down the bell
would lie an expensive business, and,
as these are days of economy. It is
probable that this will save tlie Big
Ben we know.— l^indon Mail.
Why Safes Resist Acetylene
Modern safes which are constructed
to resist tlie oxy-acetylene cutting
blow-pipe are made of ferrous alloys
which, although they con be heated
by the gas flame to their melting point,
cannot be cut, like steel, by the ap
plication of a stream of pure oxygen.
It Is essential Mint the walls and
doors of such safes be of considerable
thickness. The walls, roof and floor
are lined with steel and flame-resist
ing alloy so that a self-contained saie
exists inside the concrete shell.
Why We Are All Different
The question why every person on
earth Is in some way different from
every other, even twins and triplets,
was answered by Dr. Dimitry Borodin,
of New York. Doctor Borodin said he
had discovered a short form of ultra
violet light which was generated and
radiated by every person and which
was responsible for the “mutations"
of heredity. But these “life” raw* •«*
USES CABBAGE LEAVES
TO RECOVER FINE GOLD
George Kettle, Denver min
ing man, with the use of cab
bage plants has devised what
he believes to be a practical
means of extracting light flour
i gold particles from gold-bear
ing waters.
Great quantities of flour gold
so finely ground that it floats
upon water have been lost in
the past for lack of a way to
separate it from the water.
Kettle puts a number of split
heads of cabbage into a drum
and pumps the water into the
, drum. The gold is attracted by

Why Bowie Knife So Celled
The botvie knife Is named for Col.
■lames Bowie, who Introduced It In
Texas. According to one account. Col
onel Bowie had occasion to fight with
a broken sword and found It so effec
tive that he equipped his men with
long, dagger-shaped knives. They were,
however, sharp on one edge only.
Since knives quite similar In deslgu
were In use in Mexico It Is probable
(bat the Idea was gained from them.
Why It la Called Bone China
Bone china Is the porcelain In which
hone ash is an Important constituent.
II Is made almost entirely In England.
Bone ash is a white friable substance
obtained by burning bones, which are
composed mainly of calcium phos
phate.
Why “Bitter End"
Originally nautical, the expression
bitter end refers to “bltts”—pieces of
timber to which ships, riding at an
chor. may be fastened. Paying out the
rope to the bitt-er end meant that
there was no more to let go.
the cabbage and clings to it.
The water is then drained from
! the cabbage and it is a simple
I matter to remove the gold from
j the cabbage, according to Mr.
j Kettle. Thousands of dollars
j worth of flour gold may be re
covered from streams by this
process, Kettle claims. He has
obtained a patent for his in
vention.

Bear Mangles Unarmed
Hiker Near Juneau
Chris Cayafas, 44, while on
a pleasure hike and unarmed
in the vicinity of Little Port
Walter, was cruelly mangled
by a brown bear, which at
tacked him without the slight
est provocation a few days ago.
Cayafas was brought to Jun
eau by plane, a mass of bloody,
torn flesh and in terrble agony,
accordng to the Juneau Em
pire. A broken jaw, crushed
facial bones, a broken arm and
dislocated shoulder were
among numerous injuries he
received from the bear.
ALASKA NOTES
Charging an attempt at sab
otage, the police authorities of
Juneau are seeking to discover
the identity of miscreants who
dynamited a 30-inch water
main carrying water for the
city fire mains and also to the
mill of the Alaska-Juneau
mine, a few days ago. The
main was only partially de
stroyed. The mill was closed
only a few hours. The dyna
miting occurred at night and
water from the main endan
gered some residences and bus
iness houses in the lower part
■of the city before it could be
shut off.

Highway Engineer and Chair
man of the Pioneers’ Home

relative to the construction of
buildings suitable for the new

Legislature. Mr. Hesse visited
many institutions of like char
acter and confered with archi
tects and builders, in addition
to making a survey of the ma
