FELINE KILLS $50 BATS.

After former Commissioner of Mont
gomery County d. K. GRADER and Al
exander G. Yorke had nearly burned
down Yorkes house in an attempt to
kill with sulphur several hundred bats
which infested the dwelling, a wan
dering feline has, during the past two
months, exterminated the vampires,
says the Pennsburg correspondent of
the Philadelphia Record
Since May l this ownerless cat has
spent hour after hour each evening on
the porch at place midway between
a tree and the corner of the house,
through which open avenue the bats
were wont to fly. Scores of spectators
have watched the cat put up her paw
and bring down bat as the latter flew
by. From two to five have been killed
every evening. The cat ate her quarry,
and more than $50 bats were killed by
the feline.

THE WORLDS DEEPEST HOLE.

The deepest hole in the world up to
date is the boring begun ten years ago
at Czuchow, Silesia, with the object of
attaining a depth of $500 meters, and
which has now reached a depth of
2,240 meters (7,340 feet) The bore is
Al centimeters in diameter at the top,
and diminishes progressively to five
centimeters. Measurements of tenn
perature have been made regularly.
At 1920 meters the temperature is 834
deg. G. (182 deg. F.) This gives a
'geothermic degree" (amount of des-
cent corresponding to a rise of tenn
perature of / deg. CO. of 31,8 meters.
The change of temperature does not
proceed uniformly. In fact. an inter-
esting Temperature inversion" occurs
between the depths of $40 and 730 me-
ters. where the temperature actually
falls. with descent. about 2 degrees

SHIPS FOR TAE PANAMA. CANAL.

Fears have been expressed that the
United States on the completion of
the Panama Canal. would find chat
it had only provided facilities for the
shipping of foreign nations. How
ever, as the WORK on tue isthmus
nears completion gratifying activity
beonmes observable among American
shipbuilders.
Thus the Atlantic and Pacific
Transport Company, recently formed
TO bid on the ocean mail service
through the canal, plans to build at
least fifteen steamships of the size,
speed and general character required
by the ocean mail act The Ameri-
can Hawaiian Steamship Company
which operates fleet FROM our east
ern seaboard to Mexico and from
Mexico to mid Pacific ports. will run
over its altered routes FIVE new 600
ton boats in addition to its present
fleet.
Several other steamship companies
have placed smaller orders. Their
plans insure increased activity and
aug nerted pay rolls at our shipyards
IT seems likely that upon the actual
opening Of the canal, the boom now
getting under way will develop
rather than diminish 1t is necessary
for our national pride that. besides
owning and controlling the great
water way, we shall possess a signif-
cant number Of important craft to
send through it. The declared or i'm

LAST WEEKS ELECTIONS.

New York Tribune; The food tide
which a year ago swept the democrats
INTO power ia the national house. of
representatives and in many of the
states is on the ebb In an analysis
of Tuesdays election results those
who viii make the republican fight
next year can not but find mnch
reason for encouragement.
Chief among republican victories
is, Of course that in New York, where
the democrats have heen tried and
found wanting and where the repuOli
can majority in the assembly plainly
indicates that, had the people had au
opportunity further to express them
selves, Gov. DIX would have COM
pleted his term with legislature
hostile to him and his party in both
branches. Of less Significance. but
important, is the result in New
Jersey, where the senate remains
republican and the assem- bly, has been
regaired
The republican majority in Mary
land, while the immediate result, no
doubt, of attempted democratic
trickery, affords much ground for
hope that that state will be found in
the republican column a year hence.
The present victory will encourage
the workers all along the line and
inspire them with new energy for
1912.
In Massachusetts the majority of
Gov. Foss was too large to be wiped
out at one stroke, but it's reduction
from the 80, 600 of year ago to less
than 8 600 is certainly striking
evidence of the trend of sentiment in
the Bay state. The election of a
republican legislature in New Mexico
ENSURES two republican senators from
that state and checks what seemed to
be a general tendency to reduce the
republican majority in the upper
house of congress. Ia Rhode Island
the republican victory was decisive.
Kentucky is disappointment. It
was an ''off year. but in most
Instances when the people had an
opp rtunity to express themselves
they showed a realization of their
errur in turning to the democracy q
yer ago

ATLANTIC SWEPT BY GALE
Captains of Liners Arriving Overdue
at New York Report Severe
Weather Conditions.

New York, Nov ia terrific
gale that has been sweeping the At
lantic at the rate of so to 60 miles
all hour for the past ten days, delayed
tie arrival of the Hamburg-American
liner Amerika and the Cunarder
Caronia.
Both vessels reported weather of
the severest kind and for four days
after the Amerika left Hamburg on
November the weather was so bad
that the majority of the passengers
were too i'll to leave their staterooms.
Captain Knuth said he was glad to
make port. His vessel was tossed
about like a cockleshell at times and
her decks were never dry.

CHINESE CUSTOMS.

It is not difficult for the western
mind to make mistakes as to what
is decOrous behavior in China, and
at Ningo-po there was recently much
CONSERVATION, for it appeared as
though two distinguished foreign visit
ors were being taken away to suffer
the extreme penalty of the law. These
individuals hired two of the native
sedan chairs, and whether the roofs
were too low, or their hats too high,
is not stated, but they ordered the
coolies to take off the tops The
coolies refused, and the visitors did
it for themselves, and wondered very
much at the excitement with which
their progress was followed, especial
ly as they went towards the south
gate of the city. Later on they learned
that to ride in a roofles sedan chair
was the distinctive mark of criminal
going to decapitation, and as the usual
place for such punishment was
near this particular gate, the popu-
lace had imagined that an execution
of most unusual character was about
to take place.

TRAP FOR KILLING INSECTS
Novel Method Of Destroying Moths
and Other Insects Which Are
Harmful to Grapevines.

A novel method OF killing moths and
other insects which are harmful to
grapevines has been adopted near
Rheims. Posts supporting fiye-candlei
power electric lamps were placed in
tho vineyards, and from each post a
dish containing water, with top layer
Of petroleum, was suspended During
the first night these traps were placed
in three parallel rows at distances OF
about 200 feet from each other. the
distance between each lamp being
about Is feet. On the first clear
evening the current was turned on
about eight o'clock and tho lamps re-
mained burning until an hour or so
after midnight Soon after the lamps
We're lighted the insects swarmed
toward them and were rapidly killed,
either by the fumes OF the petroleum
or by the petroleum itself The same
operation was resumed the next clear
night, but the lamps OF the two out
side rows We're placed about 25 feet
closer TO those of the center row, and
this was repeated on each OF five sub
sequent clear nights, so as finally 70
bring the three rows within about so
feet Of each other. During the sue
ceeding six or seven clear nights the
movement was reversed in. the same
manner, so as to return the lamps TO
their position Of the first night AS to
the position OF the. lamps. numerous
experiments were made during these
trials, and It was proved that the
greatest number Of insects were killed
when the petroleum dish was only
few inches above the ground.
