passed little village called Morgan's
Grove. Ny attention was attracted to
large. two-story stone house, which
I discovered to be the old home OF
Gen. Daniel Morgan, the commander
OF the famous Morgan Rifle Corps"
At that house Col Morgan organized
his famous regiment Of rifemen and
marched to Boston, q distance Of six
hundred miles. to Join Washington's
army. The men were dressed IN deer
skin coats and coonskin caps and were
armed with those lOng-barreled rifles
that they used with such telling effect
In the battles OF the Revolution. At
the battle OF Saratoga. when BurgOyne
asked Why the officers Of his army
who were killed had been shot In the
head. he was Informed that Il was the
Morgan rinemen who were RESPONSE
bic. He remarked that It was Of no
use to fight with such an army and
that he might as wen surrender.
The old stone house at Morgans
Grove stood unmolested during the
Civil war. Both Confederate and Fed
eral soldiers held Il IN almost sacred
reverence. Eariy's men and Sheri-
dams swept past It on their raids in

Certain bats appear to have found
their hOOklIke thumbs and hind feet
insufficient for suspension and have
made use Of the suction principle for
this purpose. This mode Of suspen-
sion has been developed independently
in two distinct bats. one native OF
Brazil and the other OF Madagascar.
In the Brazilian species the suckers
take the form Of stalked discs attach
ed to the palms Of the thumbs and the
soles Of the feet. The suckers Of the
Alalagasy species are horseshoe like.
BY means Of the suckerS these bats
are able 70 ascend vertical surfaces.
