Sees With Its Wings.

There is singular property with
which the bat is endowed, too remark
able and curious to be passed altogether
unnoticed. The wings OF these creatures
consist of Il delicate and nearly naked
membrane of great size, considering the
size of the body; but beside this, the
nose is, in some varieties, furnished with
a membraneous foliation, and in others
the external membraneous ears are
greatly developed These membraneous
tissues have their sensibility 50 high that
something like new sense is thereby
developed, as if in the aid of the sense of
sight. The modified impressions which
the air in quieSence or in motion, how
ever light communicates the tremulous
jar of It's currents, its temperature, the
indescribable conditions of such portions
of air as are in contact with different
bodies, are all apparently appreciated by
the bat. If the eyes of bat be covered
up, or if he be cruelty deprived of sight,
it will pursue its course about room
with a thousand obstacles in its way,
avoiding them all, neither dashing
against wall nor touching the slightest
thing, but threading its way with the
utmost precision and quickness, and
passing adroitly through apertures or
interspaces of threads placed purposely
across the apartment. This endowment,
which almost exceeds belief, has been
abundantly demonstrated.

\ Collier Boys Night Of Peril.

From the Leeds (Eag.) Mercury.
A strange story of an escape was re-
Gently told us. A collier lad, going
across a heath returning from his ''turn'
one evening, suddenly slipped ard fell
into a hole, but by some means managed
to grasp the edge, and so hold on by his
fingers to this treacherous but only safe
guard. The evening passed into the
dusk, star after star came out, but no
moon; hour after hour dragged on, and
still the hapless miner gripped the edges
of the shaft over winch he hung with the
tenacity of despair. At last dawn broke
slowly, then gray light stole over the
heath, breaking through the morning S
mists, wheu he saw party of his mates
passing at distance. He called loudly
for help. Guided by the voice they came.
Still more nervously did he cling-in a
few moments he might be safe. Then,
as two strong arms grasped each of his
wrists firmly, he ventures to look down
the dreaded depths. One glance is enough;
chat one look tells him that his feet are
within four inches of the bottom. 1t is
to be feared that in his prisons the collier
lad was not as thankful to Providence as
he should have been.

lily than whom none was more highly
connected, the Rs. He had had
the reputation of being dissipated. The
proprietor of the inn testified that he
had come TO his hotel on Al Hallow
Eve with two men, neither of whom he
had ever seen before. R-himseli
had been frequent visitor ut his place
On the night in question he had left
the hotel with his two companions
about IL O'Clock, all three being fin
ished with drinking, but none intoxica-
ted. There had been no quarrel be-
tween them while they were at his
hotel. They did not say how they
meant to return to the city.
1t is impossible to say how the Grim
inals eluded the authorities. 1t may
be they remained in hiding. l think
it more likely, however, that the yoan-
ger man had printed out to the other
from the barn the house Of 4 friend,
and that there they found DISCUSSES:
which enabled them to leave the coun-
try at once. The chief point, also,
has remained a mystery. 1t was never
learned how the murder was commit
ted. The victims body bore no out
ward marks of violence whatever. But
this showed nothing. The three friends
did go from the inn to the secluded
station, the one nearest the hotei.
There, while waiting for train, quar-
rel perhaps arose. There was never
reason to suppose that the murder had
been planned or committed deliber-
ately. A single blow dealt by a strong
man in the heat of passion might have
caused death. Was that blow given
by the taller man. that calculating vii
lain whose unfaltering arm twice sup
ported in the seat the corpse of the
victim, whose lips spoke in its blood
less ear, or was it given by his darker
comprehension can tell?

A Souvenir of Marie AntOinette.

There is on exhibition in New York a
curl Is piece of embroidery which shows
exqr site taste and artistic needlework,
ard .7lich, apart from its value as a
wor Of art, has most interesting his
tory. When Marie Antoinette was i'm
priscned in the Conciergerie, she was
forb dden amusement of any kind, and
to pass away the time devoted herself to
needlework. As she was led from the
prison to the place of her execution she
dropped piece of needlework, which an
officer picked up. A nun begged for the
embroidery that she might preserve it as
a souvenir of the unfortunate queen.
Her request was granted and, securing
possession of the needlework, she at
once took it to the royal family. 1t re-
manned in their possession until the abdi-
cation of Louis Philippe, who fled to
Brighton, England, and sold it to Chas.
Phillips, of that place, for a large sum.
BY subsequent changes it has come into
possession of its present owner. This
curiosity is made from an ordinary towel
that was in the queens cell, and is SO
delcately manipulated that part of it
seems lacework and part embroidery.

A Wonderful Machine Gun.

from me LOhdon IimeS,
A Philadelphia inventor, Hiram S.
Maxim, the inventor Of the system OF
electric lighting bearing his name, has
invented a machine gun which fires GOO
shots minute from single barrel. The
gun with its tripod only weighs 12f
pounds, and is arranged in such a way
that the force of the recoii from one
round at the moment of firing is utilized
and forms the motive power for loading
and flung the next round. The car
tridges are kept in canvas belS seven
yards long, in a box under the gun; you
insert one end of the belt in the gun,
start the firing and then can train the
gun as you choose while the discharge
proceeds mechanically.
A new belt can be attached as the old
one becomes emptied. The barrel is
surrounded by water Jacket to prevent
it from becoming heated. If the man
working the gun should be killed, the
gun would go on firing mechanically till
the cartridges were exhausted, unless
some faulty cartridge interfered. Ger
tainly a machine gun which one man
can work, and which fires ten shots a
second, is something important in MUIR
derous discovery.

alterward she came in with friend, and
heard her telling the friend how some
body had been sending her flowers every
morning, and she did wish she could find
out who it was.
"Well, the best part of it all came
afterward. One morning he came in as
usual and the gardener took him back
into the conservatory. While he he was
there the girl entered and stood near the

for the door briskly, he said: Well, send
