Regent House has been the show ot many interesting meetings. Most ofthe university soeieties still meet there, and thousands of Trinity men, the world over, recall with mixed feel- ings, the written or viva voce examin- ation held within its wall.

The out- side cars still swing round the front of Trinity. out of Grafton street, or back the other way; whilst all trams in Dublin seem to find their way sooner or later, through College Orem. lf, however, one crosses -to the other side of the room, and looks out through the windows facing east, the scene is indeed a changed one.

CAT'S TAIL, Does It Serve a 'Useful Purpose., or is It Merely Ornamental? The (iueetion having arisen, "Why doethe cat have a tail?" the Scien- tists ecem willbag to answer it with another queetion, "How would the cat look without a tail?" No oue can gain- say the fact that the tail is a valuable ornament. The cat•without one is a Sorry sight. But there' are those who maintain that the tail serves the cat as a sort of gyroacope, balancing the body in leaping, says the Popular Science Monthly. This cannot be wholly true, for Manx cats get along tery well without tails, and rabbite have no use for them at all. Yet both the Maux cats and rab- bits do a lot of leaping. After all, it looks as it the tell is only an orna- ment, unlesh it is a kind of safety valve for expression in exciting tine, Of course there are instances where the tail serves tonne purpose other than that of art. iiihe monkey finds his use - fie as a sort of fifth leg; the horse uses his as a fly swatter; as does the Ilea; the crocoaile uses hie for swim- ming, as do the seal and turtle and other squatie creatures, and the rat- tlesnake uses his for Warning enemies. According to W.-1). Matthews, of the American Museum et Natural History the tail was a necessary ortette for the aquatic and amphibloue an I otOre, frelli WICtch the higher animals ere de- scended. When they took io terra: - trial life and to walking on all tours the tail became more or less super- fluotts.
