The Vote In Oregon.

Portland, Ore, Nov. 5.-Returns re-
ceived up to 6 p. m. Wednesday from
Oregon give Judge Taft a lead of 26,-
GIT over Bryan. These returns give
Debs but S,109 votes; Chain, 1924 and
Hisgen, IFS. Later returns probably
will increase Taft's lead, his total ma
iority going to 22,5OO or more. They
also will slightly increase the size of

HOW ANIMALS CLIMB.
scaly Tailed Squirrels, the sioths and
the MaIagasy Bats.

Scaiy Tailed Squirrels, the Sioths and
the MaIagasy Bats.
How certain animals have In the
long course Of years adapted them
selves to tree climbing is described by
a writer in the Scientific American.
He saws: "a group of African rodents,
the scaly tailed squirrels, have devel-
oped on the under surface of the tail
certain structures which may be com
pared to the climbing irons used by
workmen. These take the form OF
few transverse rows of large. TRAN
gular, horny scales. with their points
directed backward These scales when
pressed against the bark of tree
must afford material aid in climbing
Another group of animals In which
climbing irons have been developed
is that of the scaly ant eaters. or pan
collins. of India and Asia, creatures
which look more like living fir cones
than mammals. The scales-much lar
ger than those of the scaly tailed squir-
rels-cover both surfaces of the body
as well as the head and limbs, so that
it can scarcely be supposed they have
been developed for climbing. Indeed,
only few species climb, but these
have found the assistance afforded by
the scales on the under side Of value In
an ascent and habitually make use Of
them as climbing irons.
"Quite a different type of climbing,
or, rather, hanging, apparatus has been
developed In the sloths Of tropical
America which spend their time In
the treetops, where they remain sus-
pended back downward by their hook
like claws. These claws, which may
be three or two, have been modified
from ordinary claws and afford strfk-
ing instance of adaptation to an abb
normal mode of life. The thumb of
bats is likewise modified into a hook
like claw, also used for suspending
purposes when the creatures hang
head upward Generally, however.
bats suspend themselves head down
ward by the hind claws, grasping pow
err being retained by the toes, so that
the modification has not been carried
to the same extent as in sloths, In
which the claws act in a mechanical
manner.
Certain bats appear to have found
their hooklike thumbs and hind feet
insufficient for suspension and have
made use of the sucker principle for
this purpose. This mode of suspension
has been developed Independently in
two distinct bats, one native of Bra
I'll and the other Of Madagascar. In
the Brazilian species the suckers take
the form of stalked disks attached to
the palms of the thumbs and the soles
of the feet The suckers of the Mala-
gasy species are horseshoe-like. By
means of the suckers these bats are
able to ascend vertical surfaces"

His Turn to criticise.

Little John. who at the mature age
of four has learned the Lords Prayer.
is often criticised by his sister, two
years older, for slight mistakes which
he cannot always avoid In offering the
petition. A few Sundays ago he was
taken to church for the first time.
When the moment for the prayer ar
rived and the congregation bowed
their heads Johns mother took the pre-
caution to whisper to him that he
must be very quiet. Listen" she
said, "and you will hear the minister
pray" This interested John at once,
and his little face took on look of
serious attention, but his mother,
watching him covertly. saw his express
sion change presently to one of sur
prise and disapproval. A few minutes
more, and he could stand it no longer.
What could this man be saying? Not
word of the prayer did he recognize
as the only formula he had ever heard
called by that name.
''Why. mother" he exclaimed in a
tone audible over nearly half the
church, ''do you hear? He isn't saying
it right at all!"-New York Times.

Political Methods In Japan.

Lafcadio Hearn through his wife and
a few pupils had access to the intima-
cies and courtesies. the customs and
legends and superstitions of the past,
which made his happiness. But the
necessities of his livelihood brought
him into contact with colder world
of polite. critical, practical persons,
whose habits of mind Jared at every
point on his more hayward and emo
tional spirit Writing on behalf of
western friend, whom he considered to
have been harshly treated by oriental
employers, he said bitterly: Japanese
officialdom is not lovable, and it is ORR

Talked 70, I.irch.

In a certain yi!lage of New Hamp
shire there is u quaint old character
known as Boss Mellln keenly alive to
the truth of the old saying. silence is
golden" MellinS gift in this respect
approaches genius, though he was full
ly aware of what he deemed his short
comings therein.
Mellin used to make mattresses for
a living. One day native of the place
entered his shop and asked Boss,
what's the best kind of a mattress?'
"Husks," was the laconic response of
Boss.
Twenty years later, so runs the ira
dition. the same man again entered the
shop and again asked what, in the
opinion of Mellin, was the best kind Of
a mattress.
STRAW" said Boss.
STRAW? You told me husks was the

A Tale of Two Parrots.

An old maid had a parrot whose ia
vorite expression was, 81 wish the old
woman was dead"
This worried her great deal, and
one day when the minister called she
spoke to him about it, He said he had
a parrot which only said religious
things and that he would bring 1t over
some time and see If it would not
break her bird from using its favorite
expression.
So one night they were going to have
a meeting in her house. and he gather
ed up his parrot and took 1t with him.
When he went in he hung his cage up
near where the old maids was hang
ing. The meeting was being opened
with prayer. and all Of sudden her
parrot said:
81 wish the old woman was dead"
The minister's parrot cooked his head
and. looking at the other parrot in a
solemn voice said:
I'VE beseech thee to hear US, good
Lord."-Judge's Library.

France is the premier snail produc-

and Switzerland have thousands OF
snail farms, where the famous oscar
COTS are raised and fattened on vine
leaves. The demand for snails In
France is far too great for the supply
TO be left to chance, and thus 1t comes
about that snail farming is an impor-
lant industry. Paris alone consumes
millions between September and May,
