C and was domesti cated in 1300 B. C." declared Miss Shanafelt in her illustrated lecture on "The Tiger in the House" at the Museum Sunday afternoon. The idol worshipped in one of the ancient Egyptian temples was a god dess with a cat head. The ground about this temple was held as a sa cred burial ground for cats exclu sively. People travelled from miles around to bury their cats there and to worship the goddess of cats. Re cent investigation has led to the dis covery of thousands of cat mummys on this ground. "That cats in that day lived lives of luxury is proved," stated Miss Shanafelt, "by the fact that the cat mummies recently uncovered have contained valuable jewels and prec ious things of 'all kinds. In fact such was the esteem in which cats were held that the penalty for killing a cat was death." - Arab Traded In Call Arab tribes were responsible for the dispersal of ctt, because, nnablc themselves to keep cats permanently ENGINEERS VISIT CHICAGO PLANTS ON ANNUAL TRIP Professors in Charge Say Tour Interesting and Success ful in Every Way MEN WERE ENTERTAINED Wttera Electric Company and Com' monwealth Editoa Company Hoett On Firtt Day Engineers who returned Sunday from Chicago from the annual in spection trip report it to have been satisfactory in all details. After the mud and slush of the first few days had dried up the weather was mod erate. The treatment given the party by the plants visited was es pecially good and all the scheduled places were visited. "The trip was probably the most interesting ever taken from the viewpoint of the mechanical en gineers," declared Prof. C. A. Sjog ren, who had charge of the mechani cal engineers on the trip. "The me chanical and industrial development is better than in other fields." A noticeable thing about the trip was the demand for mechanical en gineers in the places visited. Pro fessor Sjogren commented on the healthy and thriving condition of business in Chicago. Western Electric Cuettt On Monday, April 5, the men were the guests of the Western Electric Company at luncheon and at dinner they were entertained by the Com monwealth Edison Company. E. J.

This idea is well expressed in the following bit of verse: "The bubbling camels beside their load Straggled a furlong bdown the road. And the Persian pussy-cats bought for sale Spat at the dogs from the camel bale." For several centuries, there seems to have been no record kept of the feline family. Then, during the sixth or seventh century they reappeared in England where they are reported to have lived luxurious lives as the pets of the nuns. This roseate existence was soon to end, however, for with the opening of the Dark Ages, the cat was the most hunted and persecuted animal in Europe. It was the beliefedoring this period that the devil ascended in the form of a cat or witch to do his evil work on earth. Accordingly, cats and witches were burned to gether at the stake, boiled in oil and tortured and killed in any number of horrible ways. Cata Are Cantions. Therefore." continued Miss Shan afelt, "next time you see your pet cat picking its way stealthily, don't call it sneaky, lay it to the cautious ness developed from necessity in the days when a cat's life was at a pre mium." Now, in the twentieth century, the cat has come once more into its own, especially the long-haired, pure blooded one. It is once more a fam ily pet, loved by and loving its mas ters. "It is more particular about its living quarters and food than some people," exclaimed the speaker, "preferring to sleep on a silken bed spread, to eat in the dining room and to smell exquisite perfumes." "The cat is truly remarkable phy sically and mentally," continued Miss Shanafelt "Its bundles of muscles result in its marvelous agility, equili brium and ability to judge distance. The cat hunts alone, and while wait ing for its prey, washes itself inces santly to prohibit any body odors from revealing ft to its prey." Though all cats are similar in ap pearance, thet are a few peculiar cata. The Manx cat which come from the Isle of Man has no tail: while the Royal cat of Siam is small, has a que- tail, squinting blue eyes and weeps when very excited. Many stories have been written about cats, the best known of which is probably "Puss and Boots." Among the historic lovers of cats are Cardi nal Richlien who could sign a death sentence with one hand while strok ing a kitten with the other, and Mark Twain and Charles Dkkens.
