CATCHES BATS FOR A LIVING.
s'Matterhorn" Is Going to Open "The
Fried Bat" Restaurant.

Fried Bat" Restaurant.
One of the queerest characters In
Paris is Matterhorn, the toad hunter
and bat catcher. His favorite hunting
ground is the great Arcueuil aqueduct
40 ldlometers long, which brings the
waters of the Dhuys to thirsty Pari'
SLAMS.
This is regular place of refuge fol
bats, which hang by thousands to the
roof of the long tunnel, digging Their
sharp claws into it's rough outings, and
looking for all the world in the shadows
like festoons of cobwebs. There they
are, In colonies of 40 or so, cold and still,
waiting for Matterhorn 10 come along
with his lantern and iron box and catch
them between his ready thumb and
forefnger.
In a night Matterhorn often captures
100 of them or more, and he sells the
bats to people who eat them, some from
necessity, some from choice, for those
who have tried it avow that the flesh
of the bat is delicious. 1t is red and
somewhat fat, and, fried and served
with chopped parsley, it is said to equal
the finest venison in flavor.
sWhy should not one eat bats?' ex-
claimed Matterhorn, in reply to ques-
ton. "The little animal is scrupulous-
" clean and feeds on nothing but in
sects, which is more than can be said
of many animals that are eaten with a
relish. 1 tell you the bat is much
illuminated creature, although the
number of people who realize that is
limited"
"Then, suppose you sell your bats
mostly to those who are very poor%
"Yes, mostly; although there are
gourmets who have got beyond popu-
lar prejudice and pay me good price
per Dozen"
"But you don't live entirely by catch
ing bats, do your"
"Oh, no; / catch all kinds of animals
that other people do not want. You'd
be surprised to know how many kinds
of animals there are to catch right here
in Paris. Why, the city is full of rab-
bits, for instance"
"What-wild rabbits?"
"Why, certainly; they burrow all
over the cemeteries. Some people don't
like the idea of eating cemetery rab-
bits, but pshaw! what's the difference
when they're made into savory stew
Besides, who knows what a rabbit eats
anyway?
''Pn tell you another thing you will
wonder at. I've shot ducks in Paris
wild ducks-on winter nights, just as
the day was breaking. When pinch
of bitter weather comes on they're
driven up the Seine as far as the city
but are frightened away by the people
in the daytime. Yes, there are plenty
of owls there all through the year ant
starlings and falcons"
After this Matterhorn went on to tall
about the green lizards, which abounC
in Paris, and the slow worms, to b.
found at Montsouris park and the But
tes-Chaumont, and he told how h
hunts toads for scientists, and occasion
ally hunts rats for sport, but he doe:
not think much of rat hunting.
He remarked that he hoped to be able
to start restaurant on the Boulevard
In few years, which he proposed tt
call "The Fried Ratl"-Boston Globe.

The President Remarks.
Is the best-in fact the One True Blood PufiAoe.

Daily Item.
The first message to Congress of
President Mckinley gives us the
assurance that we have at the
head of the nation an American
who regards our government not
as field for experim enting or ex-
plotting theories, but as one to
care for our own citizens first, and
the outer world OF man kind after
ward, if necessary.
He emphasizes a fact which.
though denied for time by MIR.
Cieveland's friends, was perfectly |
and painfully apparent to the care
full observer, that bond issues had
their causes in revenue deficits
and they in the Democratic Cor.
man. Wilson bill.
As President McKinly remarks:
1T may be urged that even If the
revenues of the government had
been sufficient to meet all its ordi-
nary expenses during the past
three years, the gold reserve
would still have been insufficient
to meet the demands upon it, and
that bonds would necessarily have
been issued for its repletion. Be
this as it may, there is clearly
manifest without denying or at
firming the correctness of such a
conclusion that the debt would
have been decreased in at least
the amount of the deficiency and
business confidence UNNECESSARILY
Strengthened throughout the coun-
try." These conclusions are sound
and in calling upon the Congress
to correct by proper and whole
some legislation, existing condi-
tons, the president is no less hap
py in expression.
He says:
/ Ample revenues must be sup
piled, not only for the ordinary
expenses of the government, but
for the prompt payment of liberal
pensions and the liquidation OF
the principal and interest OF the
public debt. In raising revenue
duties should be SO levied upon
foreign products as to preserve
the home market, so far as posi-
BILE, to our own producers; to 70
vive and increase manufactures
to relieve and encourage agricui
ture; to increase our domestic and
foreign commerce.; to aid and de
velop mining and building; and Il
a render to labor in every field o.
g useful occupation the liberal wa
ges and adequate rewards to whicl
i skill and industry are justly emit
y tied. The necessity of the pas
sage of tariff law which sha
provide ample revenue need nc
be further urged. The imperativ
u demand of the hour is the prom
ID enactment of such a measure. an
to this object l earnestly recon
mend that Congress shall NAL
every endeavor. Before other bus
ness is transacted, let US first pr
s, vide sufficient revenue to faithful
" administer the governme
without the contracting OF furth
S. debt or the continued disturban
ID. of our finances.

NEXT CYCLE RACE MEET.
NEW CHAlNLESS WHEELS MAY
BE RIDDEN.
New Venture Embodies Everything
That Science Can Products Much
Stronger and Faster

There are some whcelmen i'm Hon
olulu who believe that at the next
race meet in Cyclomere park only the
chainless wheels will be ridden.
Already an agency for a large fac
tory turning out these wheels has
been placed with T.. o. Hall d Son,
and if Ed Paris and Henry Giles of
this firm are as successful with the
new venture as they have been with
the Columbia and Sternes there is but
will come true.
The chainlesS wheel of 1898 has al
ready made its appearance in some OF
the eastern cities. In nearly every
respect the construction of the new
chainless wheel embodies everything
that science of the present day can
produce. To get away from the old
chain with its provoking limitations
and its annoying weaknesses, has ev-
err been the hope of bicycle builders.
Among the other possible methods
of carving power from center of
production to driving wheel are: \
leather belt, metallic band with holes
leather belt, metallic band with holes
to engage sprockets, pneumatic and
hydraulic transmission, toggle joint
and crank combination, a wire rope
with or without projections, cranKs
and connecting rod, double crank with
shifting connecting rod. a combina-
ton of cams and rollers. lever and
crank with or without oscillating full
crum. a row of spur gears between
driving certers. some form of clutch
or ratchet with lever. a train of balls
engaging sprockets, balls working in
spiral grooves on aXles, combination
of spur gears and friction roller, PIN
wheel gearing, shaft and bevel gears.
All of these have been tried until
now the problem seems to have been
solved. The problem was solved by
the use of bevel gear. The idea is
not new one but it has been brought
TO a high degree of perfection. It is
said that the wheel can be taken apart
and reassembled in twenty minutes.
and that il is impervious to the dan
gers of accomplishing dust and dirt.
