This model, roughly speaking, consists of a cardboard cylinder wherein are stuck tour rods to serve for legs, together with a tail devised on similar princiThe object of the experiment ples. Is to show that a feline's peculiar faculty depends on the rotation of its tail with sufficient vigor. This faculty Is specially developed by climbing and leaping animals, such as members of the cat tribe, monkeys, squirrels, rats and most lemurs. As already stated, the tail plays an important part in the turning process. According to the investigator all tree Inhabiting monkeys have long tails, and there is not the slightest doubt that these tails are of great aid to all climbers in enabling them to turn la the air. The tall also serves as a balancer, as evidenced In the case of a squirrel, which may be seen walking or along a tightly stretched wire string, swinging its tall from side to side, much after the manner of a tight rope walker balancing himself with a pole, v Prehistoric Man In Kent Some remains, believed to be those of prehistoric man, have been found during excavations at Coldrun, Kent, oa a floor of iron standstone. They have been submitted to two experts. Q. Fayne, F. 8. A., of Rochester, and Mr. Reader of London, who has had many years of exploration work of this character In connection with the late Gen. Bolt experts were much Impressed with the importance of the discovery and the necessity of continuing the exploration on a larger scale. The skulls and bones are to be submitted to Dr. A.

Members of the Physical society In London were Interested at a recent meeting by an exhibition of spclmens of paint whtch change their color with variations of the temperature. One of these paints Is red at ordinary temperatures, but turns black In a few seconds when warmed In front of a stove or otherwise heated to 206 de- crees Fahronheit. Another paint is yellow until heated to a temperature of 113 degrees Fahrenheit, when It becomes dark red. They are called "heat Indicating paints," but ore little moro than sck'ti tlflc curiosities.
