CAN'T SHOOT BATS
New Audubon Law Does Not
CIacs Them as Game
Birds.

The question has recently been pro-
pounded with much anxiety by the small
boy, and some of the big ones, whether or
not the new Audubon law forbids the
shooting OF bats.
The answer must be reluctantly given.
after an examination of the law, that the
bull-bat does not appear therein, conse-
quently we can't shoot bull-hats. This
fascinating eventide sport must be discon-
tlnued, if we do not wish to pay 81 90
for each bird shot, or langush in prison
for five to thirty days.
The following is the text of section 4 of
the law, which enumerates all the birds
that may be shot as game birds.
That from and after the passage OF
this act it shall be unlawful for any per-
son in the State Of North Carolina to Kill
or catch any wild bird other than a game
bird, or to purchase, offer or expose for
sale, transport or ship without the State
any such wild bird after it has been killed
or caught except as permitted by this
act. For the purpose of this act the fol-
lowing only shall be considered game
birds: Looms, grebes, swans geese, brant,
river fish and sea ducks, rails, coots.
marsh hens and gallinules, plovers, shore
and surf birds, snipe, wood cock sand
pipers, yellow legs, chewink or tobee and
curlews. and the wild turkey. partridge
pheasant, quail, dove, robin and meadow
lark
'(a) 1t shall be unlawful for any per-
son within the State of North Carolina
to take or needlessly destroy the nests
or eggs of any wild non game birds, except
permitted by this act.
'(b) The English European or house
sparrow, owls, hawks, crows, blackbirds

HOSE WAGON TURNED
OVER.
Three Firemen Hurt in Prdc-
tice Yesterday on New
Bern Avenue.

What might have been a very serious
accident occurred yesterday evening dur
ing the practice of the fire companies on
Newborn Avenue.
While being driven at top speed the
new racing wagon of the aCpital Hose
Company overturned, cutting and bruls-
ing severely three members of the com
pany.
The three men hurt were: Richard Pool,
the driver Ira Kimball and Harry Lee.
None is badly injured. POOLS chief hurt
is a deep cut on the knee; Kimball is
bruised about the head, and Lees right
arm is badly cut.
The accident occurred at Broughton' S
corner, Person street and Newbern Ave
nue.. at nearly Z o'clock. The horse
driven to the lightFwagon is a blooded an
imal. and somewhat shy of the large
crowds that usually line the street at the
practice hour.
While at his utmost speed yesterday
evening he SHE'D toward the sidewalk,
throwing the front wheel of the wagon
against a post on the sidewalk, turning
the wagon completely over. The horse
was thrown down with great violence and
considerably scratched up. The front por'
ton of the wagon was damaged considers
ably.
Drs. A. T. Cotton and A. w. Goodwin
attended the injured firemcn at once.
Mr. Fred Woocott had narrow escape.
He was directly in the path of the wagon
but did not see that anything was wrong
until the flying horse was within few
feet of him. He ducked down low, and as
the wagon turned over, the upturned side
passed over him as he crouched down.
Driver Pool said last night he would be
on his seat this afternoon, and the other
injured men also say they will be on hand
for practice today.

Over His Oddities of

A young American who had been
travelling abroad reports some of the

The most usual difficulties depend on
! difference of iGiom and pronunciation,
for which the English like to banter
Americans. Some of the young mans
troubles are ominon to most Amcri-
cans who travel in England, but Others
are less familiar, although quite as in

phthisis.
The history of the discovery of sano-
sin treatment is unusually interesting
An observant German merchant, who
had a practical knowledge OF chem
iStry, noticed that the natives in the
northwestern part of Australia used a
decoction made by boiling the leaves
and roots of the eucalyptus tree as a
remedy for consumption, and that the
natives of other sections took up a
residence in the eucalyptus district
with occasionally favorable recovery.
1t was also asserted by local practi-
TONERS that natives of the eucalyptus
| regions are generally immune from
this dread disease. Mir. Robert Schnei-
| der, referred to above, taking the mat
! ter up with other experts, prepared a
mixture of -four of sulphur, powdered
charcoal and pulverized eucalyptus
leaves. im%pregnated with the essential
oil of eucalyptus. The remedy was TAX

medical scientist of Berlin and expert

riod was too short to permit of positive
conclusions upon this point.

SELECTING A WATERMELON.
There Are n Number of ways. but This
one IL said to He BETTER
Than Amy.

Good. sound watermelons, not
cracked, kept in a shady place, will keep
three or four weeks. Many attempts
have been made TO keep them all winter,
but the fruit prtservers have not made
much of a success OF it, says the New
York Herald.
The scene at the great freight piers Is
a busy one when a cargo of watermelons
comes in. News of the arrival is soon
spread among the dealers, and at what
ever hour in the day or night it may be,
the trucks OF the commission merchants
or dealers crowd the piers.
No attempt is made to handle the mel
ons in bulk or in barrels. They must be
passed out from hand to hand, and long
lines of men are formed for this purpose.
There is always a crowd of youngsters
Italians and neeroes-at the depot to
catch a stray melon that is cracked or
broken, and the dismembered parts are
soon gobbled and disappear in a gulp.
There are various ways of telling a
good watermelon. Some persons say
they can, by pressing the sides together,
hear, in a good, sound, ripe melon, a pc
culiar sound of crispness like that Of
celery. A well-known expert gives these
directions:
Lay the melon on its back, with WHITE
part up, scratch the skin of the ligh est
part with your finger nail. If the skin
is tender and the melon is yet firm to the
pressure Of the finger, so that you can
with difficulty pierce it with your nail,
il is probably q GOOD melon"
