THE SEA BAT.

Specimen of a Fish That Is Both
Queer and Rare.
One Of the rarest specimens Of the
fish kingdom known to waters con-
tiguous to the North Carolina coast
was captured in a seine at MasonbOro
sound by William Hewlett, a fisher
man, says the Wilmington Dispatch
The fish. which was brought to the
city, is what is called ''the sea bat"
and it is a perfect reproduction Of q
leather wing bat on large scale. The
fish is about fifteen inches long and
about thirty inches across the back.
Strange to state, it had a thin,
threadlike tail about fifteen inches In
length, and on each side of the rear
appendage were two perfectly formed
gloved feet, with smaller dimension
having the exact appearance Of q
thumb with the other part Of the hand
mittened. The mouth Of the strange
specimen was about five inches across,
and on each side Of the mouth or the
underside of the body there were five
"strainers.' or holes, through which
the fish is said to rid itself Of refuse
products resulting from the forage 1t
picks up at the bottom of the sea. The
top of the fish was dark slate color,
and the under part of the body was
white.
One old negro fisherman more than
seventy years old declared that this
was only the second specimen of the
sea bat he had ever seen In his long
experience as fisherman. The speci-
men, which had a truly uncanny ap-
pearance, will probably be sent to the
state museum at Raleigh

~ EATR1CE WESTWOOD I had
first seen on the Lakeside
ID links one early spring morn
ing as l alighted from a mud
DIV motor car, with the wind blowing
sharp and cool from the northwest.
The snow was gone, and few devoted
golfers were out. With cheeks aglow
Miss Westwood was swinging a brassie
that glinted in the sunlight, and even
|. whose dull masculine eye takes little
note Of feminine attire, took in with
startled admiration the dainty jacket
that ended suddenly few inches
above the hips and the great four inch

golfing skirt she wore 1t was far

Ancient Mariners,

That the Egyptians made sea voy-
ages long before the time of Solomon,
hitherto considered the first ocean
traveller on a large scale, is declared
by Professor James a.. Breasted to
be conclusively proved by tablet
found by him in Palermo, Sicily, dur.
ing the three years exploring trip
from which he recently returned. Pro
.fessor Breasted asserts that the in
scriptions On the tablet show that the
Egyptian king who built the first
pyramids made voyage with forty
ships across the Mediterranean to
Lebanon to obtain cedar for a tenn
pie. This journey, according to the
professor. was made in the thirtieth
century B. c., or 1000. years before
Solomon made his voyage for sim.

An Ocean Sanitarium.

Some particulars are given in the
British Medical Journal of proposal
to provide an ocean sanitarium for tu-
bereulosis. The suggestion is to fit up
a sailing ship of about 1900 tons for
not less than fifty patients, each to be
provided with large and well VENT
lated cabin. The deck would be used
for what is commonly called the We
randa treatment. The intention of the
promoters is that the ship shall cruise
in the neighborhcod of the Canaries,
where it will have the advantage OF
the trade winds and Of an eQuable
climate, while port will not be far

mentioned Philip, looked upon the Ger
emony as the end Of one Of the Ito us)
most heartrending romances it had
ever been In our way to witness. The
two had been so absolutely devoted to
each other through those brief en-
gagement days that it was positively
painful to see them separated. To
gether they were in the seventh heav-
en-; apart they were plunged into
depths corresponding with the seven
teenth substratum Of despair, a sort
Of gloomy sorrow and foreboding that
they might never meet again.
During this period Philip Sturgis
even laid aside that disagreeable hab-
it Of practical joking that had made
him mildly disliked-or was it feared?
by more than one of the members of
the Lakeside club. We all agreed that
nothing but miracle-and love Of
course is miracle-could have
brought him to this condition. That it
might prove lasting was our fervent
prayer, and we all looked upon Bea-
trice Westwood, that dainty little
maiden with the red gold hair and the
blue eyes which reminded one Of the
clear summer sky, as the goddess who
had wrought the miraculous cure.
But now that the words which made
them one had been said at the altar,
there were visible in Philip Sturgis
symptoms of return to his old NAL
ady We had noticed it with inward
apprehension that bordered on actual
fear-not for ourselves, but for our
friend and the wife of our friend. l,

At last it came, the very thing that

uneasiness and alarm. Philip Sturgts
was planning what he was pleased to
term a practical joke on his wife.
Now that they were married Philip
had lost much Of his former Jealousy
and had come to regard his Wifes

thing. Beatrice, on the other hand,
had developed a sudden tinge OF Jeal'

THE DREAD on WINTER

How often you hear people say they
dread winter, and that if they had
the means and time they would HE
/ themselves away TO some milder climate
and thereby escape the storms and cold
and icy weather that annually come to
this section at this season of the year.
Many do actually follow this plan, and
their glowing accounts of comfort and
warmth in the sunny SOUTH" or in
California, or some othe section, where
snow and freezing either are practi-
caIly unknown, ordinarily cause feelings
of envy on the pa-c of those who are
unable to travel in this manner.
Yet aside from the pleasure and en-
/ joyment Of travel itself, with the OPP
portunities Of seeing strange places and
coming in contact with other people
whose customs, practices and character
istics may prove of interest to the stud
ent Of human nature, the person who
refuses to be scared out by the advent
of cold weather and remains to take the
seasons as they come in this section,
really has some advantage over those
who hurry away to find milder climate
during the winter months. For winter
/ appears to have certain attributes that
give some of its gaieties a substantial
advantage over those of summer itself.
| There is the higher outdoor life of win
ter, including for example, the sports
of sleighiDg, coasting, skating and, in
some places, hockey-sports that fill the
lungs with oxygen and endow the body
with vigor. In indoor amusement, of
course, winter has advantages over sum
mer hardly necessary 10 mention. The
theater, the sociable Or neighborly visit,
the evening card party, the club, the
lecture, the debate all these and many
others like them, are the ready avoea-
tons Of the cold season.
The dangers Of disease in winter are
probably not greater than those of sum-
mer but is supposabe that much of our
dread of the cold season is the result of
wrongly educated imagination, a mental
habit which has its root in the former
literary supply of the people-a winter
in our early literary meaning an era of
wet, of rain, and of fog, of dull driz-
cling weather, in short, the winter of
England. Our winters here are marked
by bright, biting but energetizing at
mospherie conditions, entirely different
from those that prevail in Great Britain.
The city. Of course, has :nany special
opportunities for pastime which are de-
MED the country. The country nas, on
its side many which are denied the city.
The country people have much leisure
in winter when the people of the city
have little or none. Their sports, the
chase, sleighing, coasting and the hearty
home meetings. dances and festivities,
are distinctive and enjoyable. The city
has nothing to compare with these, and
so far as enjoyments involving mere
heartiness and unaffected hilarity go,
seems to be constantly having less. 1t
makes up in other ways, however, what
it lacks in these. And so 1t may be
said that winter. either in city or coun-
try, is the period of enjoyment most
real, most true and best available of all
the year. Chicago Record Herald

Enough sugar is made in this coun-
try so that along with what we import
we could give 81 3-5 pounds to every
man, woman .and child in it. If any
one don't get bis share it is his own
fault, as it is here for every one who
wants to have it. But somebody con-
sumes the readers share if he does not,
so the proper quantity to make up the
81 3-5 pounds is eaten up in some way.
The nations sugar bill was 1912, 900, 900,
or more than $l,00O,000 every day in
the year. That amount of m on e y
bought 1893, 667, 075 pounds. What a
pity we cannot keep the money this
sugar costs as in the country and dis
tribute it among our own people. But
the statistics tell us we produce only a
little more than one-fifth of the amount
we consume, and get about one-sixth
from our colonial possessions, Hawaii
and Porto Rico, and the remaining 81
per cent we have to buy from foreign
countries. We bought 2,183, 500 tons,
more than one-half of which came from
Cuba. 1t is an encouraging sign, how
ever, that our home product is grow
ing. We made 544, 200, 900 pounds of
,ane sugar and 967, 900, 600 of beet SUI
gar. The beet sugar made in this
country is growing rapidly and for the
first time exceeds the quantity made
from sugar cane.
