papa, anXiousAT.
~'She came to me about ten O'Clock,
and asked tor her little pink bingham

Papa followed as fast AS he could.
Rover stopped halfway up the path,
and looking towards papa, whined.
Coming up, papa saw something that

A Bat can See With its Wings.

There is singular property with
which the bat is endowedtoo re-
markable and curious to be passed
altogether unnoticed. The wings of
these creatures consists of a delicate
and nearly naked membrane ofgreat
size considering thesize of the body;
but besides this, the nose is, in some
varieties, furnished with men,
hraneous foliation, and in others
the external membraneous ears are
greatly developed. These men,
braneous tissues have their sensibil-
ity so high that something Ikea new
sense is thereby developed. as if in
aid of the sense of sight. The modi-
fled impressions which the air in
quiescence or in motion, however
slight, communicates, the tremulOus
far of its currents, its temperature, the
indescribable conditions of such por-
tions of air as are in contact with
different bodies, are all apparently af-
ficiated the bat. Ifthe eyes of a bat be
covered up, or if he be cruelty depriv-
ed of sight it will pursue its course
about a room with a thousand obsta-
cles in its way, avoiding them all ;
neither dashing against a wall nor
touching the smallest thing, but
threading its way with the utmost
precision and quickness, and passing
adroitly through appeartures or in
terspaces of threads placed purpose
ly across the apartment. This en-
downment. which almost exceeds
belief, has been abundantly demon
strated. FOREST and Stream.
