Vampire BATS.

Vampire bats are found by thousands
in Vcragas and Ciriqui. They are particu-
larly fond of veal blood, but older stock
and horses, colts, mules and burros all
suffer. l did not catch q vampire at his
work, though ] saw hundreds of them,
but the cattlemen all tell the same story.
The vampire settles somewhere on the
back of the beast in the pasture at night,
and then, while slowly tanning rs wings
to and fro, cuts circular piece of skin
ane-quarter of an inch in diameter.
Through this hole he sucks the blood till
satisfied.
One wound would be of little conse-
quence. nor would the loss of blood do
much damage were that all, but half a
dozen vampires may feast on one poor
calf or on the back of q saddle horse in
one night. The'calf is badly weakened by
the loss of blood, while a saddle horse so
served is worthless until the wounds are
entirely healed But that is not the worst
result of the bite The region swarins with
a pestiferous fly that soon after daylight
finds the wound and lays eggs in it. I'm
less the wound is properly cleaned and
dressed with a waxy' salve within As hours
after the vampires attack the animal will
be destroyed by the progeny of the fly.
The percentage of calves thus killed is
large in spite OF the watchfulness of the
cow herders. -Panama Correspondent.

NO RED CLOVER HONEY.
Because the Honeybee Doesn't Know How
to Get the Material For 1t.

"Why do we never have red clover honey
for sale!" said the dealer well, for the
simple reason that there is never any red
clover honey made by honeybees. There
is no blossom so rich in stores of sweet
ness as the red clover blossom, as every
schoolboy whose privilege it is to pluck
and sucl. it's nectar well knows. But
the honcybee never collects those sweets
Tor It's use, because it cannot. The corolla
tabe of the red clover is so deep and small
that the bee cannot reach the honey stored
at the base of the tube. The bee knows
this and if You will think moment you
will remember that you never saw honey
bee, either wild or hive dweller ON red
clover blossom.
"These wise and busy insects do not
waste their time in efforts to obtain sweets
that are beyond their reach. But the lum-
boring bumblebee lcvies tribute on every
red clover patch in his bailiwick. As smart
as the honeybee is it has yet to learn II
trick that is as old as the hills to its big
and more stupid seeming cousin. When
the bumblebee lights on a head of red
clover he punctures hole in the base of
the corolla, and thrusting in his proboscis
sucks ont the nectar, 1t used to be a IA
vorite but cruel pastime among the boys
of the rural districts to capture the bum
blebee, pull it apart and take out its honey
bag-a transparent sack as big as small
pea, filled with the most delicate of honey,
the honey of the red clovcr-and eat the
sweet morsel, or, rather, let it burst in the
mouth and spill its drop of Incompatible
nectar. Any one who has thus robbed the
bumbebec of its life and its hoard OF
sweets will never forget the delicious quail
ity of the honey thus obtained. Unfortu
natcly this big, clumsy bee is not much
of a honey maker. You might rob score
of bumblcbec nests and not get quarter
of pound of honey, and besides these
nests are few and far between. Conse-
quently we will have to wait until the
hive bee learns to drill into the blossom to
get the nectar before we can have red
clover honey for our buckwheat cakes and
waflles New York Sun.

The reason why the inhabitants Of the
earth have never seen but one side Of the
moon is because that heavenly body makes
a revolution on her axis in the same time
that she revolves around the earth, and so
always presents the same face to us. The
reasons for this popularity, astronomers
say, is the elliptical form of the moon it
self. 1t is not probable that the moon
originally started on her axial rotation
precisely with the same velocity with which
she moved around the earth, but it is
thought that the two motions were origi-
nally very far apart, and the fact that the
attraction of the earth slightly elongated
the lunar globe served to draw the axial
rotation in "a period of time toward the or
bital movement around the earth. Now,
therefore, they so nearly correspond that
If the orbital movement varies the other
will undoubtedly vary with it, and thus
the exact correspondence will be indef-
nitely kept up, explains an exchange.
