A F0x.That Flies.

The flying fox is a most peculiar ami
NAL. not unlike mammoth bat. One
sees them in surprising numbers in
different parts Of India, especially on
moonlight nights. They are very dis
astrous to choice fruits, but their
principal food is the young leaves of the
gum trees At times they visit certain
cultivated sections in such herds as to
sweep away every green leaf, like a
swarm of locusts. European sportsmen
have eaten them, aud pronounce the
he.h to be palatable, but the natives
never eat them. The flying fox is un-
able to take flight from the ground By
means of its sharp claws, however, it
rapidly climbs a tree, from the branches
of which it throws itself into the air and
skins about by expanding a thin
membrane which opens beneath its limbs.
II directs its course through the atmos-
phcre with great precision without any
vibratory motion. During the day time
these animals retire to the seclusion Of
the forest, coming forth at night with
the bats aud owls. They sleep hanging
head downward from the branches, to
which they adhere by the natural hook
attached to the points of their shoulders.
One also sees in India the flying opossum,
which shoots considerable spaces at a
high elevation by expanding a thin
membrane attached to either side of its
body, and which connects the fore and
hind legs Courier Journal.

volcans-Made Rainy Spell.

Humboldt says that when a volcano
bursts out ia South America during a
dry season it sometimes changes it into a
rainy one. It is we'll known that in very
hot calm weather the burning Of woods,
long grass and other combustibte ma
terials produces rain. Very extensive
fires in Nova Scotia arc so generally fol-
lowed by heavy foods of rain that .here
is ground for believing that the cnor-
nous pillars of smoke have some share

actually becomes the property ol the
Treasury Department of the United
States Government. For it must not
be supposed that it is put upon the
money market in either sovereigns or
in our own specie when it arrives. On
the contrary, in whatever form it comes
to the Assay Office, it is taken and
dumped on the pretty brass scales which
tower behind Mr.. Graham's desk and
carefully weighed. These scales are
worthy of a visit. While they are not
especially impressive in appearance, they
are capable of doing a big lot of work.
They can accommodate very nearly a
thousand pounds, and will also Indicate
70 hair when there is only grain or
their plates.
When the banker or his properly ac-
credited representative calls at the Assay
Office he presents his advices and the
gold is weighed on Mr.. Grahams scales.
The banker is given check upon the
Sub Treasury next door in amount tc
represent three-quarters of the value OF
the gold in ounces, the remainder pay
able after the gold has been assayed.
This is done for the convenience of the
banker, who may wish to use the money
right away, and for the protection of the
Government.
As soon as the banker receives hii
check upon the Sub-Treasury his interest
in the transaction practically ends. OF
course he is still interested in the one
quarter of the value of the gold which is
still coming to him, but his main object,
that of securing the gold to meet the
pressing demand of his customer, is sc-
complished. Upon the presentation OF
his check to the Sub Treasury he receives
his money in nice new gold certificates,
in gold coin or however else he may
choose.
At the Assay Office the gold received
is taken to the smelling room and there
tossed into the big crucibles, where the
publication by fire takes place in a
mighty short space of time. Then the
molten metal relieved of all alloy or
other cxtraneous matter, is run into
forms, producing when cooled pretty
yellow blocks of the gold about three
inches wide by FIVE inches long and two
thirds of an inch thick. These bricks,
valued at about $4,000 each, are slowed
away in small oaken Goxes with heavy
iron handles and placed in the vaults of
the Assay Office, where there is just at
present something like S22, 900, 900 in
refined gold.
The method of reshipping gold to
England and the Continent is practically
the same. The demand is made upon
the Sub-Treasury and an order is issued
from the Sub-Treasurer for the amount
in fine gold bars. This is taken 10 next
door, presented aud treasure handed out
and carted away. 1t is in this way that
the jewellers are supplied with fine gold,
and it is this case with which foreign
countries can secure pure gold in bricks
from rs that is making the bankers OF
this city angry at the refusal Of the Bank
of England to part with similar gold.

look for trouble soon on the HIT.
'What did you go take my sad
die for, yesterday, Bill?' said Jack
Moore to cowboy by the name of Bill
Watkins.
"'Cause / allows I'll ride it some, F"
says Watkins. Thought it might like
to carry a high-grade cow-puucher,
once"
''Welll don't take it no more" said
Moore, moodily, ignoring the gay insO-
lence in the reply. "Leastwise, don't
come a-takin' of it an sayin' nothin.
You can palaver Americana, can't you?
When you aims to ride my saddle again,
ask for it; if you can't talk, make signs,
an if you can't make signs, shake a
bush, but don't go to InjuDin' off no
saddle of mine no more"
"Whatever do you allow is liable to
happen if take it agin tomorry9" in
quired Bill in high scorn.
Bill was of a more vivscious temper
than the gloomy Moore.
"You takes it agin an | mingles with
you a whole lot, mighty prompt re-
piled hoore in a tone of obstinate in
jury.
These boys were brothers in affection
before that pretty girl came, and either
would have gone a-foot all day to lend
his saddle to the other. Going a-foot,
too, is the last thing, let me assure you
cowboy will do.
"Well, don't you fail to mingle none,

was sitting close at hand. ''You all

The boys started some grumbiDg reply,
but the cook called them to supper just
then, and, one snimalism becoming over
shadowed By another, they forgot their
rancor and vague animosities in thoughts
Of supplying their hunger. Toward the
last of the repast, Rawllns arose and
going 70 another room began overlook
ing some entries in the ranch books.
The pretty girl did not eat at the
ranch table. She had little banquets in

"Some shooting scrape about their
saddles, Miss; that's ALL" So reported
Rawlins to the pretty girl
isn't it horrlble." shuddered the
pretty girl, in reply.
The next morning the pretty girl and
her gnarled and twisted aunt paid the in
jured Watkins a visit. This sight
so affected the other three cowboys that
they at once saddled and rode away to
the northwest to work some cattle on the
Ocate Mesa. They intended to be gone
three months. They looked black aud
forbidding as they galloped away.
SITS pity Jack Moore amt no better

the pretty girl visiting the wounded Wat
kins arose in his mind.
"That's whatever, asseated the others.
The pretty girl was full of sympathy
for the stricken Watkins. 1t occurred to
her, too, that his profile was clear and
handsome He was certainly very pale
and this stirred the depths Of her femi-
nine nature. She and her aunt came to
see the invalid every day. Once, the
pretty girl said she would bring him a
book to read and while away the hours,
which seemed shod with lead.

of deepest shame. | never learned. l
should like to read, too, but there's no
one to teach me. SO that settles that, .
and the rascal expressed deep sigh.
Watkins lied. 1t was he who was the
Princeton man.
So the pretty girl came every day and
gave Watkins reading lesson, while the
gnarled aunt read book and watched
them through the open door.
"By the way" said Watkins one day.

They Prescribe Prayer, Cold Water and
Faith for Invalids.
The sect of Illuminated Apostles has
been increasing considerably in Spain.
They claim to nave power to heal the sick
by prayer and the application of cold
water. Some of them were recently ar
rested in Madrid, but were subsequently
discharged. Several of them then called
upon the local authorities, and asked that
their sect be officially recognized as a le-
gally constituted association. The spokes-
man of the party, a venerable looking man
with a long white beard, said that they de-
rived their doctrines from the writings
of the Evangelists, and were Christian
apostles. All they asked was to be allowed
to preach their doctrines and to cure the
sick. Have you any diploma emitting YOU
to practice medicine?" asked the governor.
The old apostle replied that they
had a divine diploma that could not be
questioned, and that was better than anv
diploma that a human being could give.
He would give an instance of a cure that
they had made, and how they practiced on
an old woman who had the smallpox and
was given up by the regular physicians.
The apostles took her in hand, prayed over
her, told her and her relatives to trust in
God, to make her drink plenty of water,
eat we'll and roll her up in wet sheets. And
the old woman got we'll. The apostles
