The green crystal vase which was

The Vampire Bat.

The true vampire bat Is quite n
significant creature, not unlike our
noctule bat In general appearance and
size, but with small nose leaf and
no web between the hind legs. The
really remarkable thing about 1t Is
its perfect adaptation for secret and
painless bloodletting. Most bats have
teeth very like those OF the carniVora,
with long CANNES and small tncisors,
but in the true bloodsucking vampire
bat the incisors are very large and
broad and exceedingly sharp edged,
thus being able to fnflict a shaving
surface cut which causes no pain, but
a great deal of bleeding. Indeed, not
only does the sleeper very rarely wake
under the winged bloodletters atten-
tons, but a bite may be inflicted un-
felt on person who II awake at tho
time.-London Graphic.

Baltimore stopped on the street one
day to have his shoes polished. A
bright eyed little black boy stepped
forward to give the desired shine. Be-
coming interested in the little chap,
the portherner asked his name, to
which the boy promptly replied:
Gen. sab"
After few moments of silence the
uortherner continued, II suppose that

The word "abbreviation" gave the
little fellow pause. However, he was
equal to the occasion and recovered
himself. NO. sab" he said: "'tain't

Why We Draw Back.

Our human intercourse IS constantly
being thwarted by our consciousness
OF consequences. It Is especially the
case when we are young. Young peo-
pie feel that they can hardly have an
intimate conversation without its end
ing in u promise to correspond or an
invitation to visit. If we keep this at
titude as we grow older the conscious
ness that moments intimacy may
entail so much makes Us pause before
taking the fateful plunge. How often
do we draw back In moment OF ex-
pansion because we reflect, Shall we
feel the same way tomorrow or next
month";" How many friendly impulses
do we restrain because we are afraid
something more will be expected OF US!

SQUIRTING AT THE STARS.
It Helps the Astronomer In Calculating
Their Distances.

It Helps the Astronomer In Calculating
Their Distances.
: While lecturing recently to an audi
ence Of children at the Royal instieu-
ton. London. Professor b. q. Turner
explained how astronomers measure the
distances of the sun. moon and stars.
The Importance Of sQuint was ex-
planned with the aid of a match and
cigar. Putting the cigar In his mouth
and lighting the match. he told them It
was by squirting that he judged the
distance at which to hold it
Then. taking another cigar. which
was about twelve. inches in length. be
explained how in that case it was not
necessary to sauint so much, as the
point of distance to be measured by the
eyes was further away.
This was done to illustrate the fact
that, just as the brain calculates the
distances of things seen by means Of
the angle Of the squint. so astronomers
tell the distance of the stars by reckon
ing the amount. of ''squint' involved
when looking at them.
Two telescopes are placed apart atan
exactly measured distance. The astron-
omer. then looks through the two tel
escopes at the same time and, having
got them to the angle at which he can
see the particular star, just recsons up
the amount of '.squint" and reels it of
in millions Of miles.-Boston Herald.

PosT0FFIcE POINT.
There Is No Mail Station Located on
This Arctic Ice Pack.

There Is No Mail Station Located on
This Arctic Ice Pack.
Almost due north OF Bering strait Is
a point In the solid north pack that
always extends much farther south
than the pack at the eastward or at
the westward. This point is naturally
variable, according to the heat Of the
summer and the severity Of the pre7i-
Gus winter, but 1t does not move more
than a few degrees. For fifty or sew
enty-6ve years this point of ice has
been spoken Of by the arctic whale
men as "Postofice point"
+ This does not mean that there is
postofice there, but the significance
Of the name Is because the whaling
fleets usually are divided, some ships
going considerably east Of Postofdce
point and others west Of it. Ships
that have been east Of it cruise along
the edge Of the pack and very fre-
quently meet ships that have been to
the west Of it, and the meeting point
for some reason has always been in
the neighborhood of Postofhce point.
It was here therefore that the ships
used to meet. after being separated
for many weeks, and exchange news
and gossip.
The solid north pack comes pretty
close to Point Barrow and extends IN
an irregular line from Point Barrow
to Postoface point. Much Of this Ice
'slooks as though it has been there
from the year l." as one OF the whal-
ing captains has expressed It Bear
ing In mind the fact that Postofhce
point is always to be found IN ap-
proxinately the same latitude and
longitude. It seems as though there
must Of necessity be land back OF 1t,
although of course there IS a posi-.
bility that there may be very solid
pack Of ice instead Of Land. held In
place by comparatively shallow water.

Not What They Seemed.

few days at a Partisan hotel dtscov-
cred that her pearl necklace, worth
$4,000. had disappeared from her
room. Suspicion fell on messenger
boy. who admitted his guilt, but de
clared that the necklace had been
taken from him by his mother. The
mother corroborated her sons state
ment. expressing astonishment that so
much trouble should be made about
"a trashy little rinket." which. she
explained. looked SO cheap and tawdry
that she had given It to her daughter
in-law. This young woman, in her
teens, displayed an equal contempt for
the "bits Of things" She told the po-
lice that she had given the necklace
to her little girl to wear, but she had
removed about half the beads. AL the
missing pearls were found In box
among buttons and hooks and eyes.

THE UBIQUITOUS TURKEY.

He Has Spread All Over the World
Despite His Retiring Ways
In every corner Of the globe almost.
at least where civilization has spread
its epicurean taste, may be found the
domesticated turkey-not, however, OF
his own volition. Never would he, In
hts wild state, have sought to cross
the stormy seas to find green fields
and ssastures new.
he Is not so constructed. he Is not
bold or adventurous Of disposition. On
the contrary, be is timid and much
afraid Of things he does not under
stand and when undisturbed is prone
to let well enough alone and get along
with his accustomed feeding grounds.
Again, as a fier the turkey IS not
pronounced success. He flies ponder
ousiy, almost painfully and with great
effort and only when very much fright
ened. His fight can be sustained for
only q short distance, but what the
wild turkey lacks as an aviator he
fully makes up as Sprlntef.
He can outrun race horse. especial
~ in his own native forest. where
undergrowth and bushes seem but to
add to his speed. But he could not
have flown over the ocean even II he
had had that unnatural desire.
He was taken over by the hand OF
man. first to Spain. then to other
Mediterranean countries. to northern
Europe. to the far east. until now he
is well nigh omnipresent And this
spreading out Of his kind even unto
the ends of the earth IS all due to the
entraacing qualities. his meat takes
on when properly baked or roasted

Winning an Autograph.

Like Rudyard Kipling, the famous
novelist, Hall Caine has q great dis
like for the autograph "fend," and he
has to be a clever collector who can
get the signature Of the author OF
1.-The Manxman.'
On one occasion, however, Mr.. Hall
Game was beaten by very smart
trick. While on visit TO America he
was besieged by autograph hunters,
but he refused them al. Then one, day
a porter at his hotel brought him a
registered letter. he was asked to
sign a receipt, and was then informed
that he must sign a second paper
which had to be returned to the sender
Of the letter.
Quite unused to American ways. he
did so, and when he opened the let
ter, after the porter had retired, his
astonishment may be imagined when
he found that it contained nothing but
a note Of thanks for his autograph,
which he had Of course appended to
the paper!-Pearson's.

The Lilies.

Two thousand years ago It. was sup
posed that water lilies closed their
flowers at night and reteated far un-
der water to emerge again at sunrise
This was Pliny's view. and it was not
impeached until the English botanst
John Ray in 1858 first doubted its We
racity. The great lily Of Zanzibar, one
Of the grandest Of the lily family, opens
its flowers. ten inches wide, between
II in the morning and 5 In the after
noon. They are Of the richest royal
blue, with from $50 to 200 golden sa-,
mems in the center. and they remain
open four or FIVE days. 1t IS not gener-.
ally known that there are lilies that;
have nocturnal habits-night bloomers;
as we'll as day bloomers. They are very
punctuai timekeepers, too, opening andt
closing with commendable regularity.

FAME OF CAPE COD.
It Is Many Sided and Fairly Eeiipses
Poor Cape Ann.

II Is Many SIDED ana Falrly Ge'Soes
Poor Cape Ann.
Cape Cod. aside from its shape, mas
q name to conjure with. What more
appropriate? Cod is the palladium OF
our liberties. We have made unto our
selves a craven image thereof and
have hung the same in our statehouse
as q memorial forever. Our senior
senator and the various congressman
from down Essex way never let the
sacred fish so out Of their thoughts.
Indeed, Cape Ann is just as anxious
over the cod as the other cape is and
probably wishes it had a similar
chance at the name. The name OF
Cape Ann doesn't mean anything now.
whatever it meant to the hattering
colonists who first wished the then
monarch's name on it.
Cape Ann doesn't look like human
foot. In fact. it doesn't look ike much
Of anything but Cape Ann. But Cape
Cod, with its sands. its bars, its long
tongues and spits. is Distinctive. Peo-
pie try to swim to it. a certain kind
of aristocracy is named for it. Its
people get snto books and then sue
the publishers. The pilgrim fathers
landed on it-and then had the su-
preme good sense to get back to the
boats and hunt up Plymouth. where
there was at least rock to set MS
toric feet upon. so that future gem
erations might chip off bits OF the
same.-LowelI Courier Citizen

SEX ATTRACTION.
It ls the Controlling Force In About
Every Human Effort.

Every Human Effort.
We cannot escape from the fact that
sex attraction is the great event In hu-
MAI life. Sex is the controlling force
In nearly all Of human efforts. War,
for instance, IS only an exaggerated
form Of the sex instinct. Neither lit
ersture-nor art would exist in any ap-
praciable degree without saxs Men
work, fight. sing, paint live and die
for the love Of woman.
: In only one field Of human activity
is there no faint. Of sex feeling, and
that Is science. Science is cold and
Gispassionate. It has imagination, but
the imagination Of the explorer and
not the lover. Science has only one
aim and end-ehe discovery Of truth.
Science IS another world from the hot
earth Of economic and military conpe-
tition. which have for their ends tho
attainment Of love and marriage.
- Through science mankind will grad

and reach new and possibly happier
