A Bat With » Beak. The wise one was explaining to the other that the bat cannot see in the day time. It was in the basement of a but ter, eggs and chicken place en Washing ton street. “You tsec,” he said, as he stuck his finger close to the wide open eyes of the bat, “he can’t see a thing. Now watch.’’ He jabbed his finger into the eyeball of the unsuspecting little victim, which at once threw up its wings and hopped to the farther end of the perch. But the wise man was not satisfied. He wanted to demonstrate his know!- ' edge still further. • “No, he can’t see a bit,” he said, jabbing his finger the second time into the staring eye. “See,” he said, as he repeated his demonstration. The bat in the meantime was flap ping its wings excitedly and trying to grope its way to safety. z “That’s a peculiar thing about owls and bats,” the wise one went on, “that they can see only in the'nighttime. Now, you just watch for yourself.” Again he tortured the frightened night bird. By this time the worm turned. The bat fought back, and by a quick move ment caught the torturing finger in its beak. The wise man jerked his hand away, and with a loud “Ouch!” put the digit into his own mouth to suck the blood. “Yes, I aee,” said his friend.—Chi cago Journal. French Local Paper*. The French local papers are the merest rags, conducted in many cases by people who appear to be totally ignorant of everything that goes on out side their own department The result is that the most extraordinary state ments appear. In a paper local to the Riviera there once appeared the an nouncement: “Cowardly attempt on the life of a president. Mr. Jamesson has been ar rested for the attempted assassination of M. Johannes Burg, the president of the Transvaal republic.” This was at the time of the Jamieson raid. This same paper recently noted the arrival of “Lady Killarny” on the Ri viera and added that “Lady Killarney” was a daughter of the Prince of Wales who had married an Irish nobleman of high rank and had been obliged to re nounce all her royal rights in order to do so. This was why she did not go to the same plape as the queen er the Princess of Wales. ‘‘Lady itillarney” was the Duchess of York. Another French local paper of equal standing once announced that “Lord Balfour, president of the Liberator club and son-in-law of Lord Salisbury, ” had been imprison®! by.“ Sir Gladstone” in the Tower bf Lepdon. —London Graphic. Swallowing Salt Water. Ono of the most beneficial features of a sea bhth is the salt water inadvertent ly swallowed by bathers. It is a won derful tonio for the liver, stomach and kidneys. In many cases it will cure biliousness when all drug preparations have failed. It is peculiarly effective in ordinary cases of indigestion, disordered stomach and insomnia, and has been known to produce excellent results in many cases of dyspepsia. > Clean sea water is full of tonic and sedative properties. It won’t hurt any body. Indeed, two or three big swal lows of it would be of positive benefit to nine bathers out of ten. It is not of course a palatable or tempting dose to take, but neither is quinine nor calomel You seldom if ever see an old sailor Who is bilious or dyspeptic or a victim to, insomnia, and why? For the reason that an ocean of good medicine spreads all about his sky, and he doses himself copiously with it whenever his physical mechanism becomes the least bit Re ranged.—Washington Star. The Humidity Meter. The amount of moisture present or the humidity of the air is determined by a comparison of dry and wet bulb[ thermometers. They are jiofh ordinary thermometers, but the bulb of the latter is covered with muslin that is wet. In the latest form of instrument the ther mometers are mounted on arms carried by a shaft that is rotated by a crank which is geared to the shaft The mo tion of the shaft rotates the thermome ters in vertical planes and causes the water in the muslin to evaporate more or less rapidly, according to the amount of moisiure in the air. This evaporation lowers the temperature of the thermom eter, and from tables constructed after long experiments the degree es moisture can be determined by the difference in temperature between the two thermom eters. —E. J. Prindle in Popular Science. < Washing la Hard Water. It is difficult to wash our hands clean with hard water, because the soda of the soap combines with the sulphuric acid of the hard water and the oil of the soap with the lime and floats in flakes on the top of the water. Sniphate of lime consists of sulphuric acid and lime. It is difficult to wash in salt wa ter because it contains muriatic acid, and the soda of soap combines with the muriatic acid of the salt water and pro duces a cloudiness.

The lands then above water were covered with a flora peculiar te the times and were inhabited by some of the animals which later distinguish ed the cenozoic age. In the seas were reptiles, fishes and turtles of gigantic proportions, armed for offense or de fense. There were also oysterlike bi valves, with enormous shells, three or four feet in diameter, the meat of which would have fed many people. In time this great ocean, swarming with vigorous life, disappeared. Moun tain ranges and plains gradually arose, casting forth the waters and leaving the monsters to die and bleach in tertiary suns. As the waters remaining divided into smaller tracts they gradually lost their saline stability. The stronger mon sters gorged on the weaker tribes until they,.too, stranded on rising sand bars or lost vitality and perished as the wa ters freshened. In imagination we can picture the strongest, bereft of their food supply at last and floundering in the shallow pools until all remaining mired or starved- It would be interest ing to know how much of the great cretaceous ocean forms a part if any of the vast oceans of today.—Popular Science. Surgery on Snakes. Snakes in captivity, it seems, some times find difficulty in getting rid of the skin which is shed every year, and an Australian diamond snake in the Bombay museum appeared likely to succumb. It was quite blind and re fused all food. A European sympathizer therefore pressed the native snake keeper into service to hold the snake, and himself with a pair of sharp pointed scissers performed the delicate and risky opera tion of clipping away the membrane which adhered to the eyes. J. M. Phipson, editor of The Journal of the Bombay Natural History society, performed a far more dangerous opera tion a couple .of years ago. His patient was a large hamadryad, or king cobra, the most vicious and poisonous of all Indian snakes, and a most powerful creature to boot. Mr. Phipson gripped the king cobra round the neck, and a native literally held on for his life fur ther down, and when the reptile’s struggles were over a third man, armed with a surgeon’s scalpel, removed eight layers of membrane from each eye.— Sketch. Gladstone’s His persuasive witchery of eloquence will be poorly understood by generations to some, says The Atlantic. It is not found in the word, the jjhsase, ttie argu ment or the thought. It came for the most part from the spirit that warmed the breath es the man, sounded in his voice, looked out of his eyes. It was personal to him, and largely part of the moral qualities that seemed to be his greater distinction. No man of his day has had such power of persuasion as he.' It may not be toe bold to say that no man of any time has surpassed him in that power. Yet he was never logically strong His argumentative writings, the most carefully and deliberately com posed, show defects of reasoning that are marked. From controversy with an antagonist like Professor Huxley he was sure to come with wounds. Yet his masterful influence over minds of every class is a certain fact. It was once said by somebody that “GladstonecouldpdF suade anybody to anything—himself included,” and the epigram carries no doubt a significant truth. Pressure of the Sea. There are spots in the ocean where the water is five miles deep. If it is true that the pressure of the water on any body in the water is one pound to the square inch for every two feet of the depth, anything at the bottom of one of the “five mile holes” would have a pressure about it of 13,200 feet to ev ery square inch. There is nothing of human manufacture that would resist such a pressure. That it exists there is no doubt. It is known that Hie pressure on a well corked glass bottle at the depth of 800 feet is so great that the water will force its way through the pores of the glass. It is also said that pieces of wood have been weighted and sunk in the sea to such a depth that the tissues have become so condensed that the wood has lost Tts buoyancy and would never float again. It could not be even made to bum when dry.—Chi cago Chronicle An Arizbna Hair Cat. “Doesn’t it disturb you when they have a shooting scrape next door?” ask ed tho tenderfoot who was undergoing an Arizona hair cut. “Disturb nothin!” answered the bar ber. “It gener’ly makes it easier.” At this juncture the shooting began at Red Mike’s saloon next door. The tenderfoot’s hair rose on end, and the barber trimmed it as expeditiously as if he were shearing a hedgehog.—Chicago Tribmia. He Has Been There.

He picked up one, put Man my head and he says, ‘That’s tho hat you want,’ just that way. I said I would ll v e to look at others. He said ho had others, but In sisted on my taking the one he had put on my bead. I asked him if there was anything the matter with that hat, and be said no, but it was the one he picked out for me as soon as he saw .me name in *lt’s Hobson's choice,* he paid. ‘Whose?’J says. ‘Hobson's,* he says.

So I paid him $1.50 and went uway under tho new bat.

You look like a calf under a new shed,* he says. ‘That’s one of Hobson's,’ I says. ‘Which is?* he says. *Ths hat is,* I says. ‘I didn’t know Hobson was in tho hat buslneA,’ be says. ‘Which one of them?' I-says. Then he laughed and poked me and says,'Which one are you talking about?’ ‘-Honest,* I says,‘it’s Hobson’s.’ ‘lf it’s Hobson’s,’ he says, ‘you’d better take it back to .him and tell him to give you your old one. * ‘Youdon’t seem to know about it,' I says, and then I told him about how everybody was talking about Hobson.

Two men were on the seat in front of mo. I couldn’t hear all they said, but one of them remarked as his station was called that ho s’posed it was Hobson’s choice. “Thon I looked at my hat to see if it was all right. It seemed as if it was too small, but I put it back and wqnt on to Forty-second street, where I got off and went into a lunch place, where I met an other acquaintance. Pretty soon he says, ‘That was a brave thing for Hobson to do.’ T said ‘Yes.’ ‘You heard about it?’ he says. * Yes,* I says, ‘and it has cost me $2.50, and you will please sell your gold bricks to somebody else,* I says. ‘Don’t take me for a fool aM the tfme,_’ I says. ‘You must be crazy, ’ he says. *’l got no gold brick,’he says. * I’m talking about the bravo man who sunk his ship in the harbor.’ ‘What’s his mdae? ’ I says. ‘Hob son, ’ he says.

An article by Sir Henry Thompson, en titled “Why Vegetarians?” in The Nine teenth Century is an exhaustive treatise on the subject of diet. He demolishes the theory ot vegetarians that they are total abstainers from flesh products, as in their use of milk, butter and cheese they in dulge in highly concentrated proteld con taining food of animal origin, to say noth ing of eggs, which contain the material ot the developed chicken. There are few vegetarians who confine their diet abso lutely to productions of the vegetable king dom. To this practice Sir Henry Thompson opposes the argument that no form of vegetable nourishment has been discovered upon wiilch It Is possible to rear the young mammal, in which man i» included. He wishes to be informed why an animal that is born into the world es carnivorous par ents, which is solely dependent for its ex istence upon animal food—milk—should suddenly adopt a vegetable diet, and at what age.sueh a change should be made. In the matter of food Sir Henry Thomp son denies that there is any reason for ex clusive forms of diet. Considerations of age, personal habits, occupation, climate and surroundings should be the determin ing factors in governing a choice of food. All fads that ignore this principle, wheth er they take the form of exclusive adher ence to a flesh or vegetable diet, are not conducive to the maintenance of health and physical activity. Not That JeOltnon. A party from Philadelphia and other Pennsylvania towns was 'being escorted through the capitol yesterday by a guide who evinced an earnest effort to show the strangers all the points es interest. They had passed through the, rotunda and Stat uarir hall and had made their way to tho east corridor of the house. “Here,” said the guide, “is perhaps the most perfect statue of Jefferson in the world” — “Are you certain that is Jefferson?” in quired a blond of 20 as she gazed intently at the statue. “Yes, ma’am, that’s Jefferson all right,” replied the guide. “My, how he has changed since I saw him,” the blond exclaimed. “Since you saw him,’,’ ejaculated the amazed guide, turning to the girl of 20. “Why, yea. I saw him last winter at the Chestnut Street theater in ‘Bip Van Winkle, ’ and he didn’t look Mt like this. ” The girl did not s'mile. She seemed as serious aa a» undertaker. The guide felt embarrassed. The silence that prevailed for a moment was gently broken by the gisL who earnestly and with a low voice inquired: “When did he die?’’ But the guide had moved on and he made no reply.—Washington Times.
