peouIiaritiaa of Bats.

In one respect at least bats are the
most remarkable of all the creatures
possessing the power Of true fight
Bats, as most people know, are NAM
mals-they belong to the great class Of
"higher animals which comprises
man himself. Moreover, it is not lit
tie remarkable that among the host Of
extinct animals with which, thanks to
the Iabors of biologists, we are now ac-
quainted not one has been discovered
In any way connecting bats with other
mammals. Thus bats stand alone,
while how and why they became vest
ed with the power of fight are qdes-
lions shrouded in mystery. The frame
work of the bats wing is furnished by
the fore limb. Indeed, the bones cor
responding to those of our own hand
constitute its most important parts;
hence bats are known as chircptera, or
hand winged animals. The thumb of
the bat is free and terminates in a
hooked claw, but the fingers" are
enormously heightened, while between
them stretches a skin or membrane, to
which in certain species the bones of
the tail give additional support. All
things considered, bats appear to be
better models than birds for those who
attempt to attain flight by mechanical
means.-Scientific American.

A KINGS DREAM.
Belief In the Vision Might Hav
Changed History.

Belief In the Vision Might Have
Changed History.
On June u, 1915, Charles /. slept at
the little inn in Naseby village. Scouts
had brought news of the approach of
the parliamentary army, and the king
was resolved to give them battle.
In the middle of the night the lords
Of the bedchamber, who slept in the
outer room, were disturbed by an ex-
traordinary noise in the kings room.
Upon entering they found Charles sit
ting bolt upright in his bed and in a
much excited state.
On asking what the noise was, the
king said he had heard no noise, but
that their entry had reused him from
an extraordinary dream. He said that
STAFFORD had stood at the foot of his
bed and implored him not to give bat
tie, for If he did he would be so disas-
trously defeated as to threaten his
crown and even his life.
The next morning Charles told Prince
Rupert and his generals of his dream,
but declared that he would fight They
in vain tried to dissuade him. In the
evening news arrived that the enemy
were close at hand That night Charles
again dreamed the same dream. STRAIT
ford warned him that it was the last
time be would try to help him.
The next morning the king led his
army out and by sunset he had lost
cannon, baggage and four-1fths of his
troops and. as events proved, the war
as we'll
Strafford's ghost was right. Had
Charles not met Cromwell at Naseby
1t is quite likely he would not have
met his death at whitehall Pearson's

Well Turned.

1t would be a pleasant thing If all
people who are plagued with short
memories had the ready tact by which
the composer Rossini once turned his
own defect into graceful compliment
He met at a dinner one evening Bishop,
the famous English song writer, to
whom he had been introduced on a
previous occasion and to whom he had
taken an instant liking.
"Good evening, Mr. began Rossini
cordially, extending his hand, but the
name of his English acquaintance had
basely deserted him for the moment
There was scarcely a perceptible
hesitation on his part, however, for in
stantly he began to whistle softly the
opening bars of Bishops glee, when
the Wind Blows"
The face of the English Mozart" as
Bishop was often called, lighted up
with a smile of qualification, and Ros-
sinrs failure to recall his name was in
stantly forgiven in the recognition Of
hts pretty compliment.

East Indian Manin

A former French chief justice In
Chandernagore, Jacolliot, gives an ac-
count of several curious performances
that were displayed for his benefit by
yogi named Govinda-Swami on the
terrace Of his own house. Being by no
means credulous, Jacolliot took every
precaution to prevent deception Fine
sand was strewn on the ground in or
der to make as even a surface as pos
sible. Jacolliot was asked to seat him
self at table upon which were PEN
ell and paper. The fakir carefully
laid piece of wood upon the sand and
announced that whatever figures jacob
lot might draw on the paper the piece
Of wood would transcribe precisely
upon the sand. The yogi stretched out
his hand, and the wooden piece imme-
diately copied upon the sand the most
complicated and twisted figures that
Jacolliot drew When the Frenchman
stopped writing the piece of wood also
came to standstill. The fakir stood
at a distance against a wall, while
Jacolliot held the paper and pencil in
such way that the Indian could not
possibly see what he was inscribing.-

WONDERFUL READERS.
MaeauIay's Almost Superhuman Gift
For Absorbing Literature.

MaeauIay's Almost Superhuman Gift
For Absorbing Literature.
Here is an interesting list of the vol
umes read by Lord Macaulay in a pc
Rod of thirteen months, during which
time he was also busted with his off
cial duties as one of the members of
the supreme council of India. Il have
read Eschylus twice." he writes a
friend; "Sophocles twice, Euripides
once, Pindar twice, Callimachus, APP
pollonius Rhodius, Quintus Calaber,
Theocritus twice, Herodotus, Thucydi-
des, almost all Xenophon's works, al
most all Plato, Aristotle's Politics and
a good deal of his 'Organon,' besides
dipping elsewhere In him; the whole of
'Plutarch's Lives about half of Luz
clan, two or three books of Athenaeus,
Plautus twice, Terence twice, Lucre-
thus twice, Catullus, Tibullus, Proper
thus, Lucan, Status, Silius, Italicus,
Livy, Velleius Paterculus, Sallust, Gaze
sar and lastly Cicero. have indeed
little Cicero left, but shall finish him
in few days l am now deep in Arts
tophanes and Lucian."
Manifestly Macaulay had an almost
superhuman gift for reading. Trevel-
yam said of him: "Macaulay's extraor-
binary faculty of assimilating printed
matter at first sight remained the same
through life. To the end he read books
faster than other people skinned
them and skinned them as fast as
any one else would turn the leaves.
And this speed was not In his case OBJ
tanned at the expense of accuracy"
Balzac's ability to take In at glance
half dozen or more lines Of page is
a well known incident of literature,
and the Frenchman got all the mean
ings and the shades of meaning from
the page. Balzac was not systematic
reader and boosted that he never read
a book through. But he, too, had the
power of "asSimilating printed mat
ter" M. Brunetiere says that Balzac's
capacity for absorbing knowledge as
well as learning is not to be judged at
all by the standards of ordinary men.
The same principle incidentally is the
sufficient answer to those who doubt
that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare
because there is proof that he was
never a student.
Doubtless these who have been men
toned were exceptional readers, or,
rather, devourers of books. But their
example Is interesting not because it
is exceptional, but for the reason that
industry in reading is really not ex-
ceptional The photographers attach
ing to meritorious works Of history at
test stupendous esearch-stupendou
to the man who is content to merely
do the magazines The learned per-
son who occasionally advises that
reading Of Shakespeare and the Bible
is enough" has doubtless himself
read wisely.
Even a cursory survey Of the subject
convinc that reading and its amount
depend upon ones temperament and
habit and has nothing whatever to do
with time.-Kansas City Star.

There is a marked difference in stat
ure and temperament between the peo-
pie of north Italy and those Of south
Italy. The reason is because, while
politically one. they are racially sepa-
rate peoples. The Longobards, or Lom-
bards, who about 568 took possession
of northern Italy and permanently es-
tablished themselves In the rich valley
watered by the Pc and its af1uents,
were of Teutonic stock, their original
home having been the region on the
left bank of the Elbe, round about
Magdeburg and Luneburg, Germany,
while the italians south Of Lombardy
are of the old Latin stock. This fact
explains the physical and other differ
ences between the people from the
north and the people from the south OF

erous and Careless.
A majority Of congressman are i'm
provident and when they are COM
PEELED to leave Washington have only
sufficient surplus on hand to carry
them home. 1t matters little how much
these men make. the result is the
same, for they live up to their revenue.
Among the many was Daniel w.
Voorhees,. SO well known in his public
career as a famous orator, genial,
generous, good fellow and boon COM
panion. In money matters Voorhees,
was as simple and ignorant as a child.
He parted with his money with no
thought of its value. The middle of the
month generally found him 'broke,"
but this worried him little. for be man
aged to get along just as well until
pay day He ordered what he wanted
and had 1t charged and then forgot all
about it. The funny part Of his nature
was that, while he did not remember
his creditors, he always kept in mind
his friends and would give them the
last cent he had If they applied for as
slstance.
One day an old constituent of Mr..
Voorhees, from the Wabash, in Indiana,
called at the capitol to see the senator.
Not finding him in, he went to the
sergeant-at-arms, that position then
being held by R. ]. Bright also from
Indiana and an intimate friend Of
Mr.. voorhees,. The old man told his
story to Bright and the reason why he
was in search Of Voorhees,. In effect it
was that he was hard up" and Voor-
hees owed him $3.50 on a note and he
needed the money badly and was there
to collect it. Bright thought the story
over and said:
''Now, my friend, if you go to Dan
to collect this money he will not pay
you a dollar On the other hand, If
you will go to him, tell him hard luck
story and put up poor mouth he will
raise and give you every dollar he
can"
The man took his advice and, meet
ing Voorhees,, told him what bad fix
he was in and his need of little as
sistance Voorhees, affectionately put
his arm over his shoulder and said:
william, am very sorry for you, and
l will help you all l can. Come with
me to the clerks Office. do not know
whether have any money there or
not, but will give you all have"
The clerk informed the senator that
there happened to be over 5000 to his
credit. This surprised Voorhees,, but
he said, "Give it all to my friend here,
as he is a long way from home and
needs it more than l."
Mr.. Voorhees, devoted the last ten
years of his life to the Congressional
library. Until his death he took no in
terest in politics or anything else but
the library, and to him more than to
any one else is due the completion Of
the beautiful structure. He died poor
and in debt.-O. o. Stealey in Success
Magazine.

a rainy day they tear nervously up
and down their cages, growing and
trembling. We usually give them
an extra ration of hot milk. That
puts them to sleep.
wolves love a gray day of rain.
They are then very CHEEKY. Treach-
erous as the wolf is, no keeper need
fear him on rainy day. He is too
happy to harm fly.
Snakes, too, like rain. They perk
up wonderfully as the barometer falls
and the damp makes itself felt in
their warm cases.
Rain makes monkeys glum. They
are apt from instinct, when they
see it through the window, to clasp
their hands above their heads and
sit so for hours. That attitude, you
know, makes a kind of shelter. 1t
