Mr. Boozer enters his room and is preparing to retire, when all at once his attention la attracted to the clothes on the bed, which rise and fall as if possessed. His nerves not being of the strongest, such unusual proceedings frighten him not a little and he Quickly departs to summon help. We see him returning with a neighbor, but the latter flees in terror on witnessing the commotion in the seem- ingly unoccupied cot. The other tenants soon be- come aware of the excitement and all clamber np to the man's room, bat not one bas sufficient courage to go near the bed. All at once someone stepping back suddenly spreads terror among the others, and all make a dash for the door. In the rush and crush the banister breaks and all are thrown in a heap on the floor below. Help is summoned from the hospital and when the doctors arrive they find everything in wild confusion. After relieving the wounded, they enter the mysterious chamber and cautiously draw near the bed and remove the covers, only to find Imprisoned in the blankets a poor, frightened little kitten. The angry neighbors now give their attention to Mr. Boozer and mete out to him his well-deserved pun- ishment for the trouble and excitement he has caused. Length, 328 feet. MAGNETIC BEUOVAL.—A man reads on adver- tisement in the newspaper of a wonderful inven- tion, where, through magnetism, their household goods can be moved from one place to another without the slightest bother. He and his wife go to the office and engage the men to come and move their furniture to their new home. They return and make preparations and get their family ready and all go to a cafe to enjoy themselves while the work is being done. The men come and go through the house, placing the magnet on all mov- able staff, and at the appointed time they torn on the electricity and everything in the place starts to move, and soon the bouse is entirely dis- mantled, and we see all the furniture filing out of the house and along the street like living objects. Arriving at the new address, each article finds Its own place and in a short time the whole apart- ment is entirely settled and everything in Its proper place without the aid of human bands. When the family return to their new home they are astonished and happy to find the place ready tor occupancy, and when the man comes to col- lect the bill the head of the bouse is only too glad to settle with him, for all appreciate the great convenience of moving and getting settled in their new apartment without any worry or labor.

OUR DOG FEXEUD3.—The idea of using dogs for police duty originated in Europe, and has found favor in the United States, for they have recently been added to the New York force, and this film gives as a clear idea of the Intelligence of the animals and the advantage to be gained by their able assistance in running down criminals. We see them attack a man with a stick and conquer him. They also attack a thief in the act of robbing a house and hold him at bay until the officers arrive. They do wonderful feats of high Jumping, and we see them carrying ont their master s commands with almost human intelligence, tength, 328 feet. KOCTTTRTTAT.
