A Bat In = Tomb.

A queer story is told Of naturalist
who died in 1860 and was buried at
Blankney, in Lincolnshire. Among his
pets was large gray bat.
This bat was permitted to enter the
tomb and was sealed up alive with the
corpse Of his dead master. In 1866 the
vault was opened, and to the surprise
Of all the bat was alive and fat.
On four different occasions since the
relatives Of the dead man have looked
after the welfare Of his pet, and each
time it has been reported that the bat
was still In the land OF the living, a.
though occupying quarters with the
dead. 1t was last seen in 1S92.--Peas-

people surviving were to be baptized.
The challenge was accepted, but whlle
the fight was in progress dark cloud
came up and the blessed Santiago was
seen In the heavens with a fiery Cross,
whereupon the people Of Queretaro gave
up and were baptized. They set up a
