In Horsoohoos.


The superstition about luck in horse
shoes dates back too far for record,
but 1t was not always confined to the
horseshoe. Any piece of iron found in
ones path was accounted sign of
good luck, and as horseshoes were
more commonly picked up than any
other article of that metal that par
ticular object at last became the
standard emblem of good fortune and
the supposed defense against bad luck.
In Aubrey's "Mlscellanies," written
200 years ago, the author mentions
having seen the horseshoe nailed up
In church. and he also says that most
of the houses In the west end of Lon
don have the horseshoe on the thresh.

THE sEA BAT.

Specimen Of Fish That 10 Both
Queer and Rare.
One of the rarest specimens OF the
flsl Kingdom known to waters con-
tiguous to the North Carolina coast
was captured In seine at Bfasonboro
sound by william Hewlett, fisher,
man, says the Wilmington Dispatch.
The fish, which was brought to the
city, Is what Is called "the sea bat"
and 1t is a perfect reproduction of n
leather wing bat on a large scale. Tho
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
Rloyed feet, with smaller dimension
having the exact appearance of a
thumb with the other part of the hand
mittened. The mouth of the strange
specimen was about flve inches across,
and on each side of tho mouth or the
underside of the body there were Eve
"strainers," or holes, through which
the flsh 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 flsh was dark slate color.
and the under part otitho 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 lonr
experience as,a, fisherman The speci-
men, which had a truly uncanny ap-
pearance. will probably be sent to the
state museum at Raleigh.
