Col. IngersOll's Persecution.

From the New Orleans Pcayune
Here is another remarkable specimen Of
the intimate acquaintance that many Eng
lishmen have of American affairs: Speak
ing of Col. Ingersoll's recent trouble with
the ministers of New Jersey, the Poulter-
er's Herald of Manchester. England, says:
Ex-senator Ingersoll of Kansas, who, it
will be remembered, ran against Mr.. Blaine
for President in 1854 and derisively be-
slowed upon him the title of 'Plumed
Knight has recently been experiencing
great difficulty in delivering his lecture on
the Bible. Mr.. Ingersoll is known as an
authority on theological matters, but owing
to the fact that he would take no part in
the worlds fair festivities at Chicago, upon
the ground that the entire affair had an
immoral tendency, the American people
have turned against him, and now no op-
portunity to prosecute him is neglected.

Indeed, some of the bats inhabiting the
tropics are of considerable size, but they
are also comparatively harmless.
While bats are not likely to be selected
as pets, there are nevertheless many things
Of interest about them. In the first place,
they are the only mammals in the world

squirrel. flying lemur, &C., can fly, or rather
sail, from tree to tree, but they cannot
continue in the air, in fact. can only sail
from a higher to lower point. Bats,
however, can continue. on the wing for
hours, and are SO perfectly adapted for
this sort of existence that their appear

THE CLIFFS OF DOVER.

From the Chicago Interior
The lofty chalk cliffs of Dover to which,
as seen from the shores of France, Eng
land owes Its poetieal name Albion, 1t
seems, from reports In the English papers,
are in danger from Entertainments of the
sea. Shakespeare's cliff, situated a short
distance from the town, and recalling King
Lear, was perforated half a century ago
by double tunnel cut through the solid
chalk by the railroad from London to
Canterbury, the Dover station forming The
terminus of England for connection with
all Europe. In May. lS47, a huge mass of
this cliff, 254 feet in height and fifteen feet
thick. fell to the base. and not long after
another mass about one-fourth as large
fell. Not only Is the cliff perforated by a
railway, but Notifications extend to it from
the hoary Dover castle. built by Julius
Caesar and made almost impregnable in
anticipation of Napoleon's invasion. In the
subterranean passages of Dover castle an
army of men can be placed. This part of
the coast is therefore not only historically
interesting, but Is of immense strategical
value, and vast sums of money have at
various times been spent in building sea
walls and otherwise protecting the cliffs
and keeping the harbor clear. Some egh-
teen or twenty acts of parliament have
been passed in the last $50 years in re-
gard to Dover and its cliffs and harbor and
now another great sea wall of concrete is
thought to be necessary to protect the cliffs
from the ravages of the sea. The advo-
Gates of this scheme will ask the govern
ment to grant the labor of 500 convicts in
building the sea wall. The stretch of cliffs
between Dover castle and ST Margarets
bay affords a panoramic display of the
shipping of all nations unequaled any
where else in the world. Land reclaimed
from the sea here would be of immense

nently free of danger from the cliffs or
the sea. In point of prospect, however.
nothing in England will ever rival the view
from the noble cliffs of Dover, whence on
clear days the coast of France lies in

HOSPITAL FOR DOLL BABIES.
A Washington Institution In Which
Injured Dolls Are Treated.

A Washington Institution In Which
Injured Dolls Are Treated.
Up rickety fight of stairs, over a shop
in this city, is a hospital for dolls. The
physician in charge IS a small man, with
red whiskers and a kindly eye. There is
nothing, a Star writer was told, that has
to do with the anatomy of dolls which he
does not understand What in medical par
lance is termed a compound comminuted
fracture is trifle to his science. A lost
leg he quickly replaces; internal disorders
are "pie" to him, while at pinch he will
put a new head in place Of an old one.
Thus, every year hundreds of dolls are
brought to him and placed in his charge
for treatment.
1t must be a very bad case that he pro-
nounces hopeless. Yet there are injuries
that occur to dolls which are past mending
For example, a melted face cannot be re-
stored, and it is difficult to supply new
eye that will fit an empty socket. But a
broken head-why, bless you! the doctor
thinks nothing of patching it up with &C.
ment so that it is just strong as ever. A
most difficult job is to restore "a jointed doll
that has become unStrunS. Dolls of this
kind are apt to suffer from a sort Of loco
motor ataXia-at all events. the symptoms
are similar They are strung together with
rubber strings, and to reorganiZe the con-
stitution of a manikn of this description Is
a tedious task, requiring no little skill.
To most felix's especially grown-up people,
one doll is pretty much like another. If the
manikin is broken the easiest thing is to
get another in it's place But to their child
owners dolls have a very distinct individ-
uality. The loss of one that has been long
beloved is positive bereavement. Thus, it
is a fortunate thing that the services of
physician SHOULD be obtainable. His fee is
variable running all the way from fifty
cents up to five dollars for treating an ex-
pensive French doll. Most of the patients
have parted with a leg or an arm. An
other frequent form of injury is rupture

is not difficult to remedy. Sawdust is con-
sidered the best stuffing for dolls, though

The hair of bats is very peculiar, and can
be distinguished instantly from that of any
other animal when placed under a micro
scope. There are two kinds. corresponding
to the. two groups into which bats are di-
vided by naturalists The hairs are not
smooth, but have numerous minute spin
ules or points arranged either in circles,
producing a structure much like the stem
of the securing rush. or in a spiral, running
from end to end of the hair. They slip
easily through the fingers in one direction,
but feel rough when pulled the other way.
The kinds of bats known to naturalists
are very numerous, for not less than four
hundred have been described from all parts
of the globe They have their main distri-
button in the warmer parts Of the world.
but many are found in cool and even cold
climates. About thirty different kinds are
known in North America, and six or seven
kinds are found in the District of Column
bia. The North American bats have just
been made the subject of a valuable me-
moir by DR.. Harrison Allen of Philadelphia,
well-knoWn surgeon and naturalist This
book is published as a bulletin of the
United States National Museum, in which

scum to see some of these remarkable ami
mails. The large fruit-eating bats are well
represented in the collection, and the small
American species have been mounted by
the taxidermist on plates of glass so that
the wings are spread out as though ready
to fly. In the department of anatomy the
skeletons may be seen, and the wonderful
adaptation of the hand to sustaining the
wing membrane can be observed.
One of the commonest and best-known
bats, especially in this city and vicinity, is
the little red bat. 1t has short ears and
very soft, luxuriant fur. The hair of the
body Is black at the base. with broad
band of light buff or yellow in the middle,
and russell red or brown on the tips or
outside. 1t is found throughout the en-
tire continent. being most abundant in the
United States in the Mississippi valley and
the Atlantic slope.
Perhaps the most abundant spe-
cies in the whole country is the
brown bat. 1t Is somewhat like the
red species, only larger, and has
dark brown or nearly black, hair. 1t is
common in the open country, as well as
the towns and is thesbat usually seen in
