A FAST OF FOURTEEN DAYS BY TWO CATS. 
By M. Carallazzi. 
Towards the end of 1880, a gentleman from Latisana had 
some repairs done to the stone floor of the piazza of his house. 
During that time, the workmen raised a stone, which left open, 
while they went to their meal, a hole communicating with a cav¬

closed up by the workmen afterwards, thus burying alive the two 
animals, to which the owner was much attached. Later in the 
day, search was made for them, but in vain. It was thought 
that they were lost, when, in the evening of the fourteenth day, 
the gentleman, in walking on the piazza, thought he heard their 
voice. The stone was raised, and the two animals, very weak and 
emaciated, came out of their prison, much the worse for their 
confinement. Both recovered quickly, by good feeding.— Ibid.

forty hours, but which, however, showed no signs of labor. The 
abdomen was voluminous, the feeling gave the sensation of a foe¬ 
tus, which was thought dead, on account of the absence of all 
movement. The general condition was bad, the animal was thin and 
without appetite. She had already had two normal deliveries. 
The Caesarian operation is decided upon. An incision of 18 
centimeters is made on the linea alba, down to the peritoneum. 
An adhesion is then observed between the external walls of the
