Bats as They Feed.

Bats fly as soon as darkness begins. They live on such insects as are then on the wing-gnats, mosquitoes. moths and beetles. The service they give to vegetation. even in temperate climates, is considerable. Some hot countries could not be inhabited but for them. Most of the race are miscellaneous In their feeding and not very delicate in their taste. They devour indiscrimi- nately all animal substances, whether raw or dressed and In any state.

Suffrage CaIumnies.
(Continued from FIrst Pagel

Hall was so stirred up by the calumny on his home town and towns-women that he postponed his departure for the West and went down to Guilford last Thursday to give an address, telling from experience and personal observa- tion just what the California women had accomplished in the year that had elapsed since their enfrachisement. Similar Calumnies have been heaped on the California women and on the 25th of November the Hartford Equal Fran. chise League is planning to present Judge Ben Lindsey to the public mass meeting in Parsons Theatre. Judge Lindsey will tell of the Colorado fight with the forces of evil and corruption at the Capitol in Denver, and how bravely and capably the women of California carried themselves Tn the fight.

An EnaIish Billion.

Tn England billion is million times a million. This is quickly writ ten and quicker still pronounced, but no man is able to count it, You will count 1G0 or ITO minute, but let us suppose that you go up as high as POO minute, hour after hour. At that rate you would count 12,0O0 an hour, 2SS,000 a day or 105, 5,120,00O in a year Let us suppose now that Adam, at the beginning of his existence, had begun to count, had continued to do so and was counting still. Had such a thing been possible he would not yet have finished the task of counting a billion To count billion would require per son to count POO a minute for a period of 9,512 years 542 days hours 20 minutes, provided that he should count continuously. But suppose we allow the counter twelve hours daily for rest. eating and sleeping. Then he would need 1S,O25 years 319 days 10 hours 45 minutes in which to complete the task.

LETTER BY LITTLE BOY.
DeScrihes His Visit to Charleston Dur

Good Time.

The following letter was written by
a ten-year old boy at the request OF
his teacher, giving an account OF ms
trim to Charleston to see the fleet. He
is a pupil of the Jalapa school, taught
by Miss Kate Thompson:
My grandpa and myself left for
Charleston 5 o'clock Wednesday,, NO.
yember 20. When we got to Sumter
the engine gave out, They telegraphed
for another. We waited four hours
for it. There were six coaches full OF
people. 1t was a little engine to pull
u.s. Every little rise it was hard tor
the engine to pull up. We we're due
in Charleston at 10 o'clock When we
cot there it was o'clock in the morn
ing. Ali the people got out and went
into the depot when daylight came
Grandpa and myself went out to
get boarding place, We went to
several diffrnce places. 1t looked like
we were not going to get place. That
day we went over to the battery, when
saw the river. | thought 1t was the
ocean. After that we went on board
the battleship. We went al through 1t.
We saw where the sailors wash their
faces and hands There were
about Is wash basins in row. We
saw where the sailors slept. They do
not sleep in beds as we do. They
slept in hammocks. Every morning
each man has to roll his hammock
I'D nicely We saw where they cook
ed It was long stove and about 8
cooks. We saw all Of the guns. Some
could shoot about % times minute
The man that was showing US all OF
this said that the men that practlced
with these guns could hit nickel 200
yards away. This battleship was next
to the largest Its name was the Utah.
It was 8l5 long. They baked their on
bread and made their on ice. They
have the wireless telegraphy.
That evening we went over to the
Isle of Palms We saw Fort Moultrie.
1t had severals cannon in it. The fort
was facing the ocean so if any foreign
vessel should come the people could
shoot it to pieces. Then We saw the
grave of the. great Indian chief, Deco
Ia
Then we came to the ocean. The
ocean was not what | thought it was.
We went to see it two times. The first
time the tides we're going out. And it
was cloudy and we couldn't see much
OF it. The next time we went they
were cQmeing in and going high up,
And when the water splashed on the
beach it foamed like soapsuds. The
