TWO QUEER CREATURES.
Habits and PecuIiarities of the Bat and
the Whale.

Only one species of featherless ami
NAL that can fly exists in all the world,
and it is one that you probably have
often seen. Properly speaking it has no
wings, nevertheless it's flying appur-
tenance is more nearly perfect than
that OF any bird. 1t flies with wonder
full rapidity, darts about with such
quiskness that il is difficult for the eye
TO follow it, and its sense of touch and
smell are something marvellous.
In watching its rapid and eccentric
fight in the twilight you have, no doubt,
thought that thisstrange animal is bird.
But its bird-like appearance ends with
its ability 20 fly. Its young are born and
nurtured just as are puppies and kittens.
This strange flying animal is the bat,
says writer in the Philadelphia Times.
IN one Of Esop's fables it is related that
the beasts and the birds once engaged
in battle. and the bat hovered above,
changing from one side TO the other, as
the chances of victory changed. For
this treachery the bat was doomed To
the queer life he now leads, that OF an
apparent bird, but a real mammalian ami
NAL.
The structure of the bat is very pecul-
Jar An eminent naturalist says: "It

out like wire to about four feet in
length. thin membrane 70 extend from
finger to finger, and another membrane
10 fall from the little finger to the
ankles be would make a very tolerable
bat" Yes, the whole skeleton OF the
bat is very similar 70 that Of man. with
the exception OF the great elongation
OF what we may CAL the arms and
hands.
When YOU see the bat darting about in
the evening he is taking his supper. lie
lives a. the swallow does, on insects in
the air and, although his sight is very
poor. his touch and smell are so sensi-
tive that he has no difficulty in catch
ing his prey, even when flying so very
fast.

THE CALIFORNIA INFERNO.
An Expedition to Explore the Valley of
the shadow of Death.

WASHINGTON City, Dec. 2l.--[Special -Secrc-
tary Rusk has been for some time engaged in or
ganizing an expedition 10 explore the famous
Death valley in California. This region is a
yeritable turrd facognitd. The heat there is so
intense that dead animals do not decompose.
Water in the valley is unknown, aud the expe-
dition viii carry water and food for mules and
men. 1t is question whether the animals will
be able to survive the expedition. Two OF the
chief botanists department are at pres
ent working their way into the val
ley from Southern Nevada, while another
expedition is on the march from Southern Cali
fornia. The two expeditions are expected 10 meet,
ii nothing goes wrong with them at point pre-
viously decided upon in the valley. Professor
Merriam will leave in few days to take charge
OF the expedition.
There is reason to believe that there are rich
gold and silver mines in the region named. The
story is told OF an adventurous miner who some
years ago penetrated into the valley and found
the skeleton OF miner. 4 wooden pail was
lying near il, and in it a chunk OF
gold of great value. On his return to
California he showed his find to a
group of miners. Their curiosity was so excited
that, other means failing, they tortured him TO
make him confess where he had found the gold,
believing that he had discovered gold mine,
the location of which he would not reveal. The
scientific men with the expedition viii map the
country and secure specimens OF such animals
and insects as exist there, If any do. Secretary
Rusk regards the expedition as OF great i'm
portance.

OPPRESSION OF RUSSIAN JEWS.
1t 10 Only a Question How Far I'm
bridled Tyranny VIII Go.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec ol.-[Speeial. 1.-The con-
dition OF the Jews in Russia is growing more
depressing every day, and their burdens more
tiresome Certainly not in all the dark ages not
even in Spain, were the "chosen people treated
worse than now. The extral legal prosecutions
are not to be named. They are really too horri-
Bile in many cases to name. IL seems to be gen
orally understood that any crime committed by
Christians against Jews will be winked at, and
SO every imaginable infamy is heaped upon the
Jews Apart from these acts, official and ofici-
aIlv authorized, oppression is brought out 10
make the age notable in the history of persecu-
tions.
All Russi ans are heavily taxed, but in addi-
ton to those which they share with the rest, the
Jews suffer several special tax q. One Of these
is the box tax, which is levied upon every pound
of meat butchered according 10 Jewish rites,
which means, of course, all meat eaten by jews
hut this tax goes further than meat. Ii Is levied
on the rents OF all buildings owned by Jews, on
the profits of all business eonduced by Jews,
upon all property bequeathed BY Jews 70 their
heirs upon all clothing worn by Jews. and on
various other Jewish interests. For example,
every Jew has to pay $50 a year for the priyil-
ege of wearing the skull cap at family prayer,
according to the universal custom OF h people.
There is also another so-called candle tax, which
is levied upon ell candles burned by Jews in ~
ligious observances. There is also printing
tax levied on all printing presses operated by
Jews. ranging from s14 TO $40, according to the
size OF the presses.
In civil life the discrimination against them is
still more severe. No Jew may enter the civil
service or practice law or medicine No Jew
can hold any local or municipal Office, or take
part in any election for the same. NO Jew may
be a member of the school board, nor be po-
lice magistrate, nor be foreman OF jury nor be

A SATURDAY NIGHT HARVEST.
Tacoma's Jail Filled With Migrants and
Drunks-Many Idle Workmen.

TACOMA, Dec. 2l.-tspecial Livery cell in
the city prison was occupied today by s'hobos'
and "drunks." 1t is usual thing for the po-
lice to arrest dozen or SO of this class between
the hours of II m. Saturday and a. m. Sunday
Today and last night the haul was unusually
large. and the principal reason assigned for the
presence OF many intoxicated workingmen in
the city at this time is the cutting down of mill
forces in this vicinity and the discharging of
men who have been employed for several weeks
with the railroad construction companies.
Many OF the employees at grading camps have
not come to the city to have their time checks
eashed for six weeks or two months. Now that
quite bunch of them are out of employment
simultaneously they spend money freely, once
In the city. Some OF them are unwittingly pre-
pairing Tor general holiday debauch, starting in
with Christmas cheer and merriment.
Up to p M today twenty-seven arrests had
been made OF persons opposite whose name is
written the word ''vagracy or "drunk." After
the holidays employment will be furnished to
many of the mill men who are now out of en-
ployment by reason of the mills being shut
down.
