PHoToGRAPHING THE MOON.

his son. DR.. Henry Draper. who used d

ARMY OF RODENTS.
County in Michigan Said to Have Been
Invaded by 5000

From Calhoun county, Michigan there
comes to the Smithsonian Institution a SEN
50 tional story of the invasion of that coun-
ty by an army of five thousand rats in one
pack. A big gray rat is said to be leading
the vast array of rodents. Michigan papers
devote considerable space to the peculiar
occurrence. and some Battle Creek citizens
VINO have become interested in the migra-
ton have written to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition for an explanation, if possible. The
story of the rat raid as told in Michigan
papers is that about twelve days ago about
hundred large rats were crossing a high
way three miles east of Tekonsha village
Calhoun county. They are said to have
been under the leadership of a large gray
rat of venerable and dignified aspect and
this leader seemed to have some definite
object in view. for he marshaled his forces
in a most authoritative manner A few
days afterward farmer in Clarendon
township. in the same county. was aroused
about 3 O'Clock in the morning by a squeal-
ing noise of great magnitude such as might
he made by a score of filters of young pigs
AS the sound continued to grow in volume
the farmer arose. hastily put on his clothes
and went out doors. The air seemed filed
with the strange sounds and the man climb

the cause. He could see a dark wave roll

the barn. Then Il large gray rat seemed to
select about twenty husky rats from the
bunch and led them into the building When
they emerged ten minutes later they were
accompanied by about one hundred of the
Clarendon mans rats. They took their
places In the ranks and the procession
moved on again across the fields When
last seen the horde is said to have been
crossing the highway east of the village of
Tekonsha. 1t is claimed a traveller had to
wait nearly five minutes for them to cross
the road. and he estimated their number
TO be not less than 5000. They were still
under the leadership of a big gray fellow

The Ribbon Fish.
From the Chicago News,

From the Chicago News
Charles F. Holder, the naturalist, believes
that what people see in the ocean and mis-
take for sea serpents are really ribbon fish.
This curious deep-sea fish often grows to a
large size. DIR. Andrew Wilson of the Uni
versity of Glasgow chronicles that Lord
Norbury while TRAVELLING in the Firth OF
Forth one day hauled up a ribbon fish
which. when stretched upon the deck of the
ship. which was of forty tons burden, was
longer than the vessel. or sixty feet in
length. Says Mr.. Holder: THE fish is lit
orally like a ribbon. Those handled by the
writer were beautiful diaphanous creatures,
clear and jellylike. The color was silver
tinted with blue and splashed with black
uger-like stripes. The forehead is very
high, and from the top Of the head rise a
series of dorsal spines, eight in number
vivid coral in color, which when erect re-

ON A LUMBER RAFT.
Running the Rapids is an Exciting
and Strenuous Task.

ana strenuous Task.
From Scribners Magazine.
The running of the many sections or
bands of a great timber raft through five
miles of rapids is no easy task. 1t is now
little more than 10 o clock and there is but
one band left. 1t is five cribs in length and
two in width. and is manned by a crew of
thirty. Now that the river is clear below
the last hawser is cast off. and the crew

of white waters will drown his verbal or

scarcely fiuttered. but now-just as we are
heading into the perilous channel that leads
down among the plunging foam and scrag-
gy rocks-the tree tops on yonder hill begin
bowling and waving; and then down the
hillside and through the valley they all go
a-nodding together, while squall rushing
out from the bank strikes the stern of the
band and swings slowly toward the
northern shore. The eyes of the anxious
crew are on the pilot but he. regarding
only the rocks ahead makes never a move.

City VS.. Private Contractor.

Might it not have been a wiser
plan in putting in the cement
walks of the city if the munich,
pal government had gone ahead
and put them in and charged the
actual cost to the property hold
ers? The work then could have
been done in continuous stretches
completing one street after ano-
the. instead of the, crazy patch
work that interrupts traffic all the
time on all the streets.
The work could have then been
done uniformly under competent
direction. The city could buy
material in large quantity and at
much less cost than the individ-
nal lot owner. The proper a
mount o. cement would be more
likely to enter into the compost
ton, as the mason who mixed or
laid it, working by the day, would
have no object in being nigggardly
in the amount Of cement used.
1t is said that if these walks
were properly made they would;
last a generation. Very much that
that has been laid during the past
year in the city is already in need
of patching. What guaranty has
any one that the work now being
done all over the city by the
private contractor will stand the
test of time any better?

The late Pope was much more
of a statesman than an ecclesiastlc.
At the beginning Of his papacy
ne was thoroughly counselled by
Cardinal Manning to break with
the old tradition which bound the
popes to the effete dynasties Of
the old world, and to cast in his
lot with the democratic masses.
The good seed which the great
English cardinal sowed the Amer
lean prelates have diligently
watered.
To Cardinal Gibbons and to
Archbishop Ireland, who ought
long before this to have received
the cardinals hat, it is largely
due that the late Pope realized
the possibility of a new future
for Catholicism in tue grea,
stronghold of democratic society
He was the first pope who per
emptorily forbade any %anti-repub-
lican propaganda by the Roman
clergy in France. He summoned
the first American Council. He
sent the first papaldelegate across
the Atlantic. He modified TIC
strict rules Of the church in order
to meet the necessities Of Amer.
