How Bats Move.
m the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 Bats are remarkably independent of the sense of sight. A naturalist de- scribes some experiments demonstrate ing this fact. Covering the eyes of bat with wax, he released the creature in room. It first of all made it's way to the door. but instead of striking this hovered few inches off, slowly making it's way along the top edge and down the side, apparently guided by the incoming draft of air. Next thor ough exploration of the room was it never once struck either chairs or table and swerved aside when a stick was placed in it's path As result of this experiment, naturalists believe that bats have an acute perception of atmC sph eric currents and vibrations resident in the nerves of the wing membranes.
 This matter was thoroughly investi- gated so long as 17S3, when, by the cruel experiment of blinding the ani- mals, it was shown that they could cross a room across which silken threads were stretched in such way as to have just sufficient space for them to pass between with out stretched wings. They not only sue ceeded in passing the threads without touching them, but they avoided with equal ease the walls and ceiling. Even when the threads were placed still nearer together they managed, by con tracting the wings, to pass without contact. Branches of trees were sim ilarly avoided, but when tired they sus- pended themselves on the walls of the room as easily as if they enjoyed the use of sight.
 From this it was inferred that these creatures possess a marvelously deli cate sense of touch in the wing mem- branes. But it is also regarded as probable that this is increased by the expansion of the skin of the external ear and by the development of folds of skin on the nose and muzzle. In some bats, indeed, perfect rosette of such skin Is developed in the latter region, as in the '1eaf-nosed" bats, and it is supposed that the the addi- tional lobe of the ear, known as the "tragus," performs a similar function.

grotto where the Virgin was bora did not arrive until later.
 The age of faith still reigns across the border to a degree stlrtlng to the nnre- generated from this side. At the Holy Stairs, for instance, he rubs his eyes and wonders for a moment if he has dreamed himself into the middle of a historical novel. They go up and down the Holy Stairs all day, every day in the year, on their knees. They are just plain wooden stairs, but in the rise of each one are set relics, set into the wood and covered with glass. There are twenty-eight steps and two relics 10 each, On each step each pil- grim pauses to say prayer and then stoops to kiss a relic.
 The faithful all about this region make VOWS to Ste. Anne to visit her shrine on foot and walk fifteen or twenty miles and back again to keep the vow Sometimes they VOW such a pilgrimage for ten years to come or some other stated period; and they keep the VOW unless death inter- yenes.
 There are crutches a-plenty heaped at the front door of the church. Thare are cases full of glasses left by near sighted persons. The priests who guide ths tour ist parties about the place tell of many and miraculous healings The standard Quebec guidebook, an English publication. says the miracles are "ofttimes reported daily during the pilgrimage season."

RUNAWAY MOUNTAIN IS HARD ID STOP Engineers Puzzled by a Task
 in Colorado EARTH SLIDING DOWN HILL A Railroad, Shelter, an Orchard and Farms Are in Danger-one

 Freaks.
EARTH SLIDING DOWN HILL

Golden. Col.-Any one who knows of mountain can sell his knowledge on fa- vorable terms to the Colorado and Southern railroad.
 A mile from Golden Is a spur of the Rockies known as the North T able mountain. It rears square head some- thing like a quarter of a mile into the atmosphere, and is pretty husky sort of mountain, taken all in all.
 For the last two weeks a portion of it has taken to sliding, and the railroad people have found it necessary to keep a force of hundred men busy shovelling the mountain dirt off the tracks. So far they have been able to keep ahead of the slide, but even with the aid of a steam shovel the task is a difficult one.
 A quarter of the way up the mountain runs Hume through which are conduc- ted the waters of Clear creek into the farmers irrigated lands to the west On one slope lower down is the Golden smell ter. Below the ditch and above the smell ter runs the highway. and bordering this are farms.
 Engineers say that the cause is an unusual one. Far down in the ground is stratum of hard, dry potters' clay, smooth as glass. and the great weight of earth resting upon it Is simply causing the mass to move slowly down toward the level
 It Is scarcely an avalanche, as in the mountains this term Is understood to represent sudden slide of great masses of earth. The only difference is that this mountain is moving with almost im- perceptibe speed, about ten feet a day.
 The county officers have already ex- pended thousands in trying to keep the road in passable condition. In the last week the road has dropped four or five feet in some places, while other portions are twisted and heaped up. It has be- come necessary to put up fence rail bar ricades at night, inasmuch as no one knows what will happen within an hour.
 The slide started below the level of the ditch, which has not yet been affected. Up above on the mountain side are a number of springs and these are sup posed to furnish the solvent which causes the earth to slip. The side of the noun tain Is torn and scanned with great fis- sures.
 At points these are eight or ten feet Wlue' BlVlng the appearance or an earth- quake. Every few minutes, in some spot, there is loosening of the overhanging earth, a dull thud and new Assures ap- pear on the mountain side. with fence gone here and a part of the road there.
 The shelter was thought to be in dan ger of joining in the slide. but the work done by the railroad men has so far pro- tected it. These men say that they can not think of any way of solving the problem but to keep right on moving away the dirt as fast as 1t comes and carrying the mountain away piecemeal on the trains
 On the south slope James Taylor had a fine orchard. Trees, earth and all have been corralled in the slide, and the or chard is several hundred feet further down the mountain than 1t originally was. Taylor whlmsically asserts that If It keeps on moving ha will have a hard

 The earth has slipped down upon the dwelling of William Carpenter, another farmer, and has torn away corner of the house. The residence is built at the bottom of sharp slope, with two-foot foundation under the upper part and a six-foot on the lower. Carpenter has braced the house with dozen upright beams, but it is unlikely that he will be able to save 1t.
 Another house that was situated forty feet from the foot of the mountain now has the mass of earth at its back door The barn. of Ole Peterson's farm was formerly about fifty feet from the house. The moving earth has not affected the

 People in Naples eat all sort of odd shellfish. Minute clans, periwinl1les and several varieties of mussels are devoured.
 The favorite early fruit in Italy is called the Japanese fruit. It looks like a plum, but has the texture of a pear. It is yellow In color, contains several beansslike seeds with thin, brown cover, and 1t is slightly astringent. Baedexer says a dozen can be eaten without harm.

The briquette looks like a round cornered chunk of asphalt. It Is made of coal dust, crude oil and tar con- pressed together. It is easy to handle.

Well down in front of the altar ,s a pedestal bearing a round box covered with glass and in this box is the little object which has built this great altar out among the fields, the knuckle bone of Ste. Anne. It is impossible in the dim lit church to see the object in the box, but a contnu- ous succession of men and women kiss the glass all day long.
 The story of the shrine is a romantic echo of the middle ages. Some Breton sailors early in the seventeenth century got caught in a storm. They vowed a sanctuary to St. Anne if she would save them, and when they came to port, just down there on the river bank, they walked up through the woods and built little wooden shrine. This is the fourth church that has been erected on the spot. The miracle began from the very first though the knuckle bone and the rock from tho
