TASTES AND EATING SPEEDS OF CATS TESTED IN BOYLSTON

Seven cats on the top floor of Boylston Hall are at present the objects of an exhaustive research by W. A. Bausfield 4G, who is constructing graphs on the tentative tastes, consuming capacity, and final surfeit of these felines. Two CRIMSON reporters viewed the experiment yesterday.

Under the eye of watchful technicians, "Fuzzie," a gray Angora cat, is allowed to eat from a dish of pulverized fish in milk set upon delicate scales which are arranged to inscribe a curve representing the rate of consumption on a cylinder. If an auto horn is blown it is found that the blast "eliminates the cat's desire to eat," and a disturbance is consequently recorded in the hyperbole. Bausfield revealed that the hyperboles are of the catenary variety.
