ing trains. All of the members were
present except Messrs. Stackhouse and
Norris. The main object of the meet
ing was to hear. the report of the in
vestigating committee. The resiena-
ton of Williams Welch was accepted.
The report which the committee sub
mltted was not given out for publica-
ton.
The board was. asked if they had
anything to give. out in reference to
the work of the committee.
Yes" was the reply, "we wish to
say IN the first place that under the
circumstances it was unfortunate that
the word investigation" was used,
for the committee really was appointed
more for the purpose Of inspection in
orcer tc satisfy the board that the de-
partments were working together har-
nonlously. It will be remembered
that the committee was appointed
prior to the appearance of certain
newspaper criticisms. While the COM
mittee!; was not charged with that
work, it did give especial investigation
to the departments criticised, namely,
agriculture and mechanics. They
found that while much remains to be
done before they are completely
equipped and developed they are pro-
crossing IN such way as to meet all
reasonable expectations. We are glad
to state further that most of the re-
Communications of the committee were
adopted by the board of trustees. That
the various departments and branches
thereof are now so arranged and CO.
ordlnated as to insure, we believe,
good and efficient work in the future.
The college has been put into five ma
tural divisions, and the head OF each
charged with and made responsible
for the proper conduct Of his DEPART
men. And the President charged and
held responsible for the supervision
and management Of the whole,

There has doubtless been more or
less indiscreet talk, but not more, per-
haps, than can be found in other col

the faculty of Clemson College is
strong one, and will compare favora-

This oughtto stop all the idle ru-
mors that have been going the rounds

said to be especially abundant in the Yel-
lowstone National Park, where they con-
gregate in INN ense numbers during the day
in the caverns and little pockets in the
rocks near the hot springs. They seem to
appreciate the warmth, and hundreds may
be startled from every Granny. In cold
countries the bats hibernate during the
winter, or when it is too cold for them to
apture their insect food. few species
probably migrate much as do the birds,
thus following the food supply.
The food of American Gats is almost ex-
clusively insects, and of these they destroy
great numbers. They are especially fond
of flies and are often seen in houses in
early evening industriCusly plying their
vocation. In South America at least one
species, the vampire. sucks the blood of
other mammals, and many very eXtraordi-

Britain they are still called filter mice.
But different as bats may seem from ordi-
nary mammals, their adaptation for flight
has been accomplished by nature in very
simple manner, as may be seen by compar-
Ing the skeleton with that of a mammal
bird. The essential fact has been brought
about by greatly lengthening the bones of
the fingers as point of attachment for the
thin membranous wing, or Goldsmith
happily puts it, 1.-The fingers serve like masts
tfat keep the canvas of a sail spread and
regulate its motions" The wing mem
branes are continuous from the last finger
and thumb to the sides of the body, reach
ing below the knee, and from this point to
the ankle or even to the foot (see fig. u.
When the bat is at rest the fingers are
folded by a movement at the root of the
hand which brings them together in COM

ways, either it is hung by the claws of the

the hind feet.

UTILIZING OLD CARS.

Comfortable and Attractive Floating
Quarters Cheaply Made.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Many of the old horse cars, retired from
active service by reason of the lines on
which they were operated having been
equipped with electrical apparatus, were
sold by the railroad company, and have
been put to some very novel uses by their
purchasers. Ordinarily, they have been
turned into summer houses. small conserva-
tories, childrens playhouses. and one or
two have been utilized as fruit stands; but
probably the most unique plan is that
originated by J. Mcneil, who Is large
owner of arks at Belvedere.
Mcneil bought four cars at the rate OF
SIS apiece, loaded on a pontoon at the wa
ter front here. The pontoon Is large,
substantial fatboat or scow. which was
built some time ago, and has been In SER

that they make two large and airy rooms,

use of the servant. Each of these sleeping
places is nicely curtained off by a canopy
descending from the ceiling.
These rooms are thoroughly furnished
and supplied with every convenience. The
cars are roomy, and, as the ventilators
have not been removed. are thoroughly

and brilliant colors look surprisingly well

SWISS WATCH SCHOOLS.
The Method of Instruction Pursued in
These Unique Institutions.


From the Scientific American.
The famous Swiss watch schools are
said to be the most eXacting industrial in
situations in the world. Their methods,
which are doubtless the secret of their
success. will be found very curious and in
teresting. In one of the most celebrated
of these institutions in Geneva, for ex-
ample, a boy must first of all be at least
fourteen years of age in order to enter.
After being admitted. the student is first
introduced to a wood-turning lathe, and
put to work at turning tool handles. This
exercise lasts for several weeks. according
to the beginners aptitude. This is follow
ed by exercises in filing and shaping screw
drivers and small TOOLS
In this way he learns to make for him
self fairly complete set of tools. He
next undertakes to make a large wooden
pattern of a watch frame perhaps foot
in diameter, and after learning how this
frame is to be shaped, he is given a ready
cut one of brass of the ordinary size, in
which he is taught TO drill holes Tor the
wheels and screws. Throughout this in
struction the master stands over the pupil
directing him with the greatest care.
The pupil is next taught TO finish the
the wheels. He is then instructed to make
fine tools and to become expert in handling
them. This completes the instruction in
the first room, and the young watch maker
next passes to the department where he is
taught to fit the stem-wnding parts and
to do fine cutting and filing by hand. Later
on he learns to make the more complex
watches which will strike the hour, minute.
ETC., and the other delicate mechanisms
for which the Swiss are famous.

dwellings. When at rest it is not usually
found hanging by Its feet or thumbs, but
rests with the wings folded fiat upon a
rough wall or inside of hollow tree with
the head directed downward.
The silvery bat Is another species found
over the whole country. 1t Is also a small
bat with beautiful slvery fur 1t is said
that when a wounded one falls into the
water 1t swims powerfully and swiftly
against strong current to the shore, a
performance quite unusual
One of the most remarkable forms is the
long-eared California bat. 1t is ashy gray
or almost white in color, and has huge
ears twice the length of the head. and a
curious projection on the top of the nose
1t is found in California and adjacent Mex
leo. Almost nothing is known of it's hab-
it's.
A very formidable-looking bat is found
only in the extreme southern part of Flor
ida. 1t has the ears longer than the head,
an ENLARGED or leaflike nose, and sharp
teeth. Its habits are unknown, except that
it flies very high in the air at night and
rests during the day attached to the leaves
of trees.
The big-eared bat of the southern states
is another species with these curiousy
elongated ears, wrinkled within, and a
turned-up nose.
In Oregon, California, New Mexico and
Arizona the pale bat. so called. is COM
mon species. 1t has long ears and pecu-
liar naked muzzle that is a livid hue in
life that makes the animal very repulsive
and forbidding 1t infests the houses and
greatly annoys the inmates by scrambling
about the recesses in the walls and cop

yellowish brown.
Undoubtedly the most remarkable of all
the bats mentioned has but recently been
described and has a long scientific name,
Promops perotis Californicus, which quite
.accords with the length OF it's ears. These
enormous ears project forward, making a
kind of ear trumpet. and the nostrils are
far above and beyond the mouth, in what
looks like chopped off proboscis. 1t Is
found in California.
