cent mile is pay enough for hauling
a passenger? And if SO, why should the
private citizen pay 8 cents a mile for
the service? And if cents a mile is
not too high rate. is not this great

poor railroads by compelling them to
haul the soldier boys for one third

STORED-UP BREATH.
Among Land Animals the Java Bat Is
One of the Most
Curious.

To certain extent all animals that
live in the sea, such as whales, wal
ruses, seals, dolphins and porpoises,
have the power TO store up air, as they
breathe only at intervals when they
come to the surface for that purpose,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. But of
land animals the most extraordinary
case is that of the bat (nycteris javani-
cus), which inhabits Java and parts of
Africa. This creatures skin is only
attached to its body in few places, so
that beneath it there is vacant space
which is connected with two small aper-
lures at the bottom of its cheeks by
means of a deep groove down the middle
of the forehead.
The nostrils are so formed that they
close when the animal is at rest and
open only at will, which would prevent
its breathing while asleep. But by re-
spring in peculiar way,with its mouth
closed, the animal can initiate the store
house beneath the skin with spare air,
which it pumps along its frontal pas
sage, over its back, chest and abdomen,
until it is puffed out like a balloon.

ROYAL HUNTSMEN.
Queen Victoria Has Set an Example
of Mercy TO Her sport-Lov-
ing Lords.

tits pleasing to learn that Queen Vie
.oria disapproves of the "hecatombs of
game" that constitute feature at most
shooting parties nowadays in England.
That, at least, is one step in the direc-
lion of mercy, but even the queen can
not prevent the English love of sport.
Perhaps it is better so, remarks the
Boston Herald. She would be very
unpopular sovereign if she did not al
low this concession cf three hours
shooting in the royal preserves. But
this edict forbidding her son and heir
TO kill more game than can be consumed
IS royal slap at her German grand
son, and it is hoped it may have the
proper effect in Berlin court circles
when they go a-hunting. There is only
one other place in England beside Wind
sor where the rule of three hours
shooting prevails. The duke of West
minister limits his guests also and is
exceedingly particular about the num-
Der of guns as well as the skill of those
who use them. 1t is sorry moment for
that guest who does a clumsy CT uh-
sportsmanlike thing to the dukes birds,
for he is always known, and, somehow
or other, gets reported at headquarters.

PRIMARIES TODAY.

The Republican primaries to select
delegates to the Congressional conven.
tion at GAINESVILLE next Tuesday will
be held in the six wards of the city
this afternoon between the hours of 4
p. m. and 7:SO p. NJ, standard time.
The number of delegates apportioned
to each ward and the place of holding
the primaries will be found elsewhere
in this issue. 1t should be remem bered
by the Judge and Clerk in each pre-
cinct that the list of persons voting
must be turned over to the successful
candidates for delegates, together with
their credentials.
Indications are for big turnout of
Republican voters in each ward and
some warm contests.
