Confused Stories About the B~iOod-Suokin,
Bat of South America.

Confused Stories About the BlOod-Suoking
Bat of South America.
New York Tribune
Ever since tho South American con-
tinent was ~vered. especially that part
of IL lying between the Amazon and
Orinoco rivers. travellers have come from
there with wonderful tales of the vampires.
or. as they call them. bloOd-sucking bate.
As q fact. little Is know about these pests.
That there are bloOd-sucking bats which
animals, is an u~ndoubted fact, and
though the writer himself has never
been bitten by one. he has. while
travelling in the interior of British Guiana.
seen lLdlans and ponies that had undoubt-
eddy been bitten by these bats. In the case
of a man attacked the toe or nose is the
point Dunctured. while animals are liable
to be bitten anywhere. How the bat does
man has yet awakened while being 0per-
ated on by one of these bats. despite the
fact that considerable blood is extracted
and more or less loss of blood takes place
after the operation. 1t Is probable that the
bat hovers during the operation rather than
tho soft wings probably also has a soothing
effect on the skin of the part operated on.
The biood-suckers belong to only two or
three species and wherever these are found
there are also many others whose food IS
only frnit or insects. or both. The most
natural mistake about the bats which are
innocent OF preying or man or beast is the
common eupposition that vampyrus spect-
rum is q blood-sucker. The stretch of
wings of this bat frequently reaches three
feet. and It has q most ferOcious aspect.
with enormously large ana pointed canine
teeth. Ii is perfectly certain that in most
parts of British Guiana this bat is only q
f~rult-eater and Is a serious pest OF fruit
growers. Bates and Edwards. who Travelled
much in that country, vouch for It's harm
lessness. n the writer could never hear of
q case where one OF these giant bats was
even suspected of being q blood-sucker.
Wallace. however, gives q different ac-
count.
1.-The vampires are especially plentiful in
pensIties were once discredited. but are too
well authenticated. Horses and cattle are
often bitten, and we found them In the
morning covered with blood. and repeated
attacks weaken and ultimately destroy
them. Some persons are especially subject
to the attacks of .hese bats, and, as native
huts are never sufficiently close to keep
them ont. those unfortunate persons are
Obliged TO sleep completely mutfied up In
order TO avoid being made seriously i'll, or
even losing their lives"
Wallace. in saying that 'the huts are
never sufficiently close to keep them ont"
evidently uses the word vampire rs a gen.
eric term, aud does not mean the vampyrus
spectrum. for that bat would find no space
large enough to let him into even the loose
ly built huts OF the natives. 1t Is this slip
shod way of using the term pire that
brings trouble to many a useful bat. The
writer has been in q house where every
precautiOn was taken to keep out bats
which would have been q perfect blessing
in tho roop1s, as they would have caught
hundreds of MOSQUITOES.

What About the Mules?

horse does very we'll on q farm after he has

have had hard work TO do in the city going
over the coSblestones mile after mile on q
trot. but they come out nicely after a rest."
"Wbat do car horses cost nowadays?'

THE OCEAN BY CARLOADS
Will BE Hauled to the Worlds Fair for the
Sea Fish Exhibit.

WASHINGTON, March IL. The United
States Fish Commission has been the re-
cipient of substantial aid from President
NJ. L. ingalls,. of the Chesapeake g. Ohio
and the Big Four railroad lines. Commits
sioner Mcdonald informed Mr. Ingalls, that
his appropriation for the worlds fair was
not sufficient for him to supply a proper
quantity of sea water for the capaoious
aquarium of the government fish exhibit at
Chicago. Mr.. Ingalls, promptly agreed to
furnish the tank cars sufficient to trans
port the water needed free of all expense.
1t was found that 1t would require several
carloads OF ocean water. and this number
of cars has been placed by Mr. Ingalls, as
the disposal Of Colonel Mcdonald. The
ocean fish for the exhibit are now being
loaded for the trip to Chicago.

A Day In Bed.
Health Bulletin

Health Bulletin.
We are naturally given to condemn and
despiso tho idea OF remaining in bed when
our health 10 good and all our vital forces
in fair working order. Apart from the
matter of our nightly rest. we rarely think
of "a day In bed" either rs preventative
of health or conducive to longevity. Yet /
I'm convinced there IS much To be said in
favor of "a day In bed' now and then, as
an aid to health in the middle aged. and as
. measure tending to prolong life in the
old.
In bed the whole muscular system is at
ease. and the wear and tear of the body 10
reduced to u The processes of
getting rid of waste matters are In abey-
nnce; there is less waste TO get rio of. and
lungs. skin and kidneys have a measure OF
comparative reposc. The nervous system.
above all. is soothed and comforted by the
day in bed" Anxieties and worries dis
appear after the rest, and the individual
returns to the worksday world refreshed
and renovated. ply sically and mentally. in
q degree such as the actions of no medi-
cincs could have accomplished.
In a word. the person who enjoys "a day
in bed" is in the position of an engine
whose fires are banked down and whose
energies are recruiting for the renewal of
the work of tomorrow.

Sleight of Hand Poisoning.

A very curious item in psychological
lore CHANGED to light upon may be
called the feat Of poisoning by sleight of
hand. You were jealous of a lady and
you wished to kill her. Well, you asked
her to lunch, and you caused very nice
peach to be served at dessert. You cut
the fruit with golden knife, one side
of the blade of which was endued with
a deadly poison. You presented the
poisoned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead
The wholesome half you ate yourself,
and laughed in your sleeve, and went
on slicing more peaches for the ladies of
whom you were jealous-till you were
found out and broken on the wheel. Aye,
there's the rub! What high old times
we might have, to be sure, but for that
plaguey contingency of being found out.
