FOUGHT WITH A CALICO CAT.
Vnd Finding It nil En«f Victim the
Feline Victor Una Become Do
murnllicd.
Ont on the West side, with a family
named Parker, lives a large and sad
»yed cat. Ilis name is Victor, but his
appearance indicates that he had better
have been christened Vanquished. One
ear is missing, one eye gone, and there
is an absence of fuoon various portions
of his body. His bearing is abject and
his gait sneaking, and a general air of
"might have seen better days" is ap
parent in his conduct. The story of
Victor's downfall is no less interesting
than it is sad.
A year ago he was a frisking kitten,
with a good home, a good name, and a
fine, glossy coat. lie wns noted for
his gentle ways, neveroffering violence
to the neighbor's baby when that small
personage made a tour of the premises
carrying him by the tail. It was his
custom to greet all strange cats with a
glad smile, ar.d much of his time was
fpent at the aforesaid neighbor's yard,
frolicking with a kitten of his own
age who dwelt there, or basking in the
sun under, the watchful eye of the kit
ten's mother.
Victor had reached the comparative
ly mature age of nine months, and was
large and strong for his age, when he
returned home one afternoon from a
playful hour spent with the neighbor's
kitten. Mrs, Parker had just put the
finishing touches to a calico cat she
was making for the neighbor's baby.
The calico" cat, plump from an abun
dance of cotton, had been placed in
a corner of the sitting-room, so that
It was the first object that greeted
Victor's gaze when he entered- the
apartment.
Victor may have been hungry, and
it may have been the prosperous look
of the stuffed cat that jarred upon
his usually co'mplac.ent spirit. At any
rate, Victor bristled up, and with a
declaration of war vividly expressed in
that part of hia anatomy made use of
by the feline race when roused to
anger, he approached the strange eat.
He circled hround it several times, and
finally sprang upon it in a frenzy of
rage. The igno rolled over and over,
and. the carpet was strewn with cotton
wool from one side of the room to the
other before Victor could be separated
from his hated rival.
Thenceforth Victor was a changed
cat. "I came., I saw, I conquered"
seemed to be the dominating thonght in
his mind, and if ever a cat was puffed
up with conceit, that cat was Victor.
He went proudly out of the house for
fresh foes ,o vanquish. Peace, which
had hitherto reigned within his gentle
breast, was dethroned, and gave way
to wild and lofty-ambition. He would
fight every cat in Cook county, lie
had tasted blootl, or what answered
in the place of blood, in the calico cat,
and wouitl have more thereof. It
was an easy task to vanquish the
neighbor's kitten, the same afternoon
that he demolished his calico rival.
As an appetizer for breakfast the next
morning he sallied forth and fought
with the neighbor's kitten's mother.
He left a large scratch on the neigh
bor's babv's hand when the baby tried
to dissuade him fr-om his bloody pur
suit, aird the baby shed large, juicy
tears. "Let no guilty cat escape" was
his motto.
Dail£ complaints about the disgrace
ful exploits of Master Victor were
brought the cars of geirtle Mrs.
Parker. She called him "naughty kittj "
in tones that \yeie meant to be stern,
but he only gave lit r scornful looks
Victor simply would 'ijfht.
liirt like all great lighters, he at last
mot his Waterloo. A black cat of ros
ing propensities and green eyes recent
ly strayed into the neighborhood. He
was a large, muscular cat. Victor heard
of his arrival, and hissing "Villain, thou
slialt die!" between his clinched teeth,
or words to that effect, he went forth
to meet the newqomer on the field of
honor. The two cats eyed each other
with every evidence of hate. At last
they came together with a mighty rush.
The air was filled with yowls, fur,
and dust, and they clinched and rolled
over and over. They separated, but
met again, the strange ca't scoring a
great point by closing une of his ad
versary's' ey?&. A moment later, nnd
the strange cat spat out one of Victor's
ears, and in the last round he bit several
choice bites out of the soft part of his
antagonist's anatomy. Then Victor
sneaked home, his opat drenched with
gore. And that cat never &niiled again.

fifth in 17tft. A;! ol thesi engines were
small affairs, without either suction or
leading hose, an i ". ere built- by
Newsliam, of Loudon, who built nearly
all the fire engines used in the world nt
Only one of tliest- engines is
known to be 111 existen.ee at the pres
ent time, the one built in 1740 for Salem,
or, rather, for liichard Derby, of that
place, who presented it to the town.
It was in active service there for many
years, and a number of years ago was
presented to a Philadelphia fire com
pany, and is now in possession oT the
Veteran Firemen's association of that
city, and ison public exhibition at their
headquarters. It is the Oldest piece of
fire apparatus on this continent.
The first American lire engine' was
built by John and Thomas Hill, of Bos
ton, in 1733, the next by Anthony
Nichols, of Philadelphia, in 1735, and
William Lindsay, of New York, in
1737, none of which was a success, and
none was ever in the service of either of
the places named. As early as 1G54,
Boston, then 24 years old, gave its
selectmen authority to purchase of Jo
seph Jenks, of Lynn, five engines, but
there is no record that the engines were
purchased or that M r. Jenks ever built
an engine.
The first successful American fire en
gine was built bv Thomas Lote, of New
York, in 1743 and was used by No. 3
engine company for a number of years.
Other fire engines of that city were also
lxfilt by him. —Boston Globe.
Ire I 4 '\ploHions.
A traveler in Siberia relates an ex
traordinary occurrence among the
frozen regions of that country. In the
intensely cold nights, he writes, the
silence *us soTnetimes broken by a loud
report as of a cannon. '1 his was the
bursting of one of the ice bubbles on a
river; a phenomenon I had neither
heard or read of before.
The streams coming down from the
fills were frozen on the surface some
six to ikine inches thick. The water be
neath flowed faster than it could es
cape and the pressure on the principle
of a hydraulic press became irresistible.
First the elasticity of the ice wan seen
by the rising of circular mounds some
six to eight feet in diameter, and from
four to five feet high. The bursting
point came at last with a report like an
explosion. I have seen scores of these
ice hillocks fn a few versts of the river.
