Between Man and the Bat

J. Carter Beard shows how by drawing
an imaginary line from the heel through
the ear, the characteristic attitudes of
various mammals may be illustrated. Man
alone habitually stands erect. with his
head toward the zenith. The exact anti
thesis of man in this respect is the bat.
which, when at rest, habitually remains
suspended in a vertical position, with the
head toward the center Of the earth. Be-
tween these two extremes all the other
mammals are ranged, apes and monkeys
approaching nearest to man, moles being
horizontal and sloths approaching the re.
versed position Of the bat.

confirmed in Brussels. that before
very long the Dreyfus proceedings may be
annulled, as were those of M. lola, on tine
grounds of irregularity. This rumor has
been gaining belief ever since the officers
composing the Esterhazy court martial
agreed to prosecute Emile Zola as individ-
uals. Both he and M. Perreux, the man
aging editor Of L'Aurore, have been sum-
moned to appear for trial before the as
sizes Of Versailles on May 23d. 1t is re-
ported that the government will take oc-
casion to intervene and perform IAN act
of great mercy" by conditionally releasing
Ureyfus and dismissing the case against
M. zola forever. A great scheme is said
to be on foot to reconcile French honor
with the wider dictates of humanity. The
chief reason is that the members Of the
court that tried the artillery officer for
treason had irrefutable proofs framed as
to imply the illegality of the documents
unknown to his defense. Certain clauses
in M. Zolas appeal we're SO framed as to
imply the illegality of the documents
cedure If the court upheld his view. Its
members saw this, and acted with direct
intent, 1t is alleged, In giving their verdict.
M. Zola, on hearing Of the supposed inten-
ton of the government, said that he had
been suspecting such course would he
taken, for in his letter of reply to the last
assize summons he had shown by his line
of defense that his case had become insep-
arably identified with that of Capt. DrI'fus
and that no methods could now be resorted
to to keep them apart. Apropos OF all this.
the Novoe Vremya of st. Petersburg says
that France has not been unmindful of the
appeals of the Russian government, and
will shortly put a final and complete end
to "the dirty business"

I'm the face of the enormous quantity OF
tobacco offered for sale. The bidding on
fine leaf was decidedly more spirited, and
we can only conclude from this that not
withdrawing the. size OF the 1898 tobacco
crop. that strictly fine leaf will hold a
strong position, and will eventually ad-
