A Curious Ear.

The catfish uses his lungs as an or
gan of hearing. The needless lung be-
comes Il closed sac filled with air and
commonly known as the swim blad-
der In the catfish. as in the suckers,
clubs and most brook fish. the air
bladder is large and is connected by a
slender tube. the remains of the ira
chea. to the esophagus. At its front
it fits closely to the vertebral column.
The anterior vertebrate are much en-
larged, twisted together and through
them passes Il chain of bones. which
connects with the hidden cavity of the
air. The bladder therefore assists the
ear of the catfish as the tympanum,
and its bones assist the ear of the
higher animals. An ear of this sort
can carry little range of variety in
sound. 1t probably gives only the i'm
preston of jars or disturbances in the

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.
Walter Wellman, the Washington
correspondent of tie Chicago Record
Herald, thinks Taft IS gaining strength.
Writing of his candidacy recently he
said:
1T is not denied that for some weeks
after the Chicago convention there was
in the East, at least. an undertone Of
prejudice against Judge Taft. springing
from the belief that he was mere
echo of Roosevelt: that he was mot
his own man." that he could not have
been nominated but for the President g
aid, and that he is only a stalking horse
for the man at Oyster Bay. Curiously
enough, many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for him If he were to
'un again, felt lukewarm toward Taft
because of this belief that he WAS only
the Presidents shadow. Now this faei-
ing is largely wearing away. |; never
was entertained by men who knew the
facts. who knew Taft himself. Nhu
we've familiar with the strength OF his
character, his independence of mind.
Rut the men who did entertain it are
beginning to perceive that he Is his
OVID man and a strong one at that.
The more speeches Taft makes, the
more frankly and plainly he talks, tic
- h. = y fe- f-ef,
t..n that he is overshadowed by an
other. Taft's frank talk on the laoor
ard injunction questions and his riain,
blunt denial of the foolish story that
he once said 81 a day was wages
enough for working man, has fene
him more good than his more iabored
ami pretentious efforts.
Judge Taft's friends argue that to
some extent he has been a 'nisunder-
stood man, and they want him to rake
the stump to show the country what
BE-. really is They would like To have

breast. Where would 1t all end? Was
it possible that we were to be driven
back to Winchester, and so down to
Harpers Ferry and out of the valley?
We had been fighting against fate and
a desperate enemy since early sunrise,
and disaster had overtaken us at every

age of officers and men counted for
naught before the furious onsets of the
victorious Confederates.
But where is Sheridan in this time of
peril? He had arrived at Winchester

(1Sth) and slept there that night. On
the morning of the 10th, without
thought or knowledge of the danger
menactngt his army at the front, he
started with his escort for Cedar Greek

urged his horse into faster gait. lie
began to feel very uneasy as the sound
of the guns came nearer. Had Early

along the sounds of battle roll like

gan to realize that heavy fighting was
raging to the front and that the Union
army had met defeat and was rapidly
being pushed northward. Then he
drove the spurs deep into his horses
side and dashed forward at a mad gal
Top, unwilling to believe that disaster
had overtaken the gallant army he had

on the road told him but too truly that
