RESEMBLES The HUMAN HAND
skin Of Baps Wing Stretches From
the Finger Tips to Ends Of
Toes and Nails.

The wing of a bat is q most wonder
ful instance Of adaptation 10 a special
end, for it Is nothing but a greatly
modified forellmb on hand.
II you spread out your hand and I'm.
aglne the four fingers grown enormous
ly lang, while the thumb remains short
aad stumpy and that the skin between
the fingers has also been stretched uH-
til it extends from Tip to tip OF the
fingers and on along the side Of the
body 10 join the hind foot you Will
have a good idea Of the structure OF a
hats wing; IT is simply much exag-
gerated hand.
The elongated bones serve, like the
ribs of an umbrella, 10 keep the ska
stretched and taut when the owner
Is In flight.
When the bat alights It doubles up
its Hands" the skin falls in wrinkly
folds and using its thumb joints as
forefeet il Is able 10 run about almost
as quickly as a mouse.
The skin of the wings not only joins
the hind limbs but extends from them
TO the tail, thus making the rudder
with which the bat can steer when fly
ing, and. when the tail is brought up
beneath the body, forms a bag or re-
ceptable which is OF use to its owner.

CREDITS TREES WITH SENSE
Scientist Declares They Possess at
Least Three Which Also Belong
to Human Race.

The curator Of the British Guiana
museum, James Roadway, who is an
eminent botanist, declares that plants
possess at least three of our five
senSes-feeling, taste and shetland
that certain tropical trees smell water
from distance, and will move
straight toward 1t.
But trees not in the tropics can do
as well. A resident Of an old Scotch
mansion found the waste pipe from
the house repeatedly choked. Lift
Ing the slabs in the basement paw
ing, he discovered that the pipe was
completely encircled by poplar roots,
They belonged to tree that grew
some thirty yards away on the oppo-
site side of the house.
Thus the roots had moved steadily
toward the house, and had penetrated
below the foundation and across the
basement until they reached their
goal. the waste pipe, $50 feet away.
Then they had pierced cement join
ing and had worked their way in
long, tapering lengths inside the pipe
for a considerable distance beyond
the house. There seems something al
most human in such unerring instinct
and perseverance in surmounting OBJ
stacles.--New York Post.

Sheep. RalsIna Industry.

Sheep raising is perhaps the oldest
Of all industries, for it was practiced
even before agriculture. Wool is a
product Of cultivation or domestica-
tion, for there are no wild animals
which closely resemble the wool bear
ing sheep. Floyd w. Parsons, in the
Saturday Evening Post, says that with
the discovery that cloth could be made
from wool came an effort to improve
the fleece by selection and breeding.
The early Romans were most success
full in this pursuit. and their endeav-
ors along this line resulted In develop
ing fleece of great fineness. After
the conquest of the Iberian peninsula
Roman sheep were introduced into
Spain, where they so greatly improved
the native flOcks that,even during Ro-
man supremacy Spanish wool led the
worlds markets, prestige held for
many centuries.

INDIAN IDEA OF RECKONING
Time Designated in Simple Fashion,
Journeys and Distances Told OFF
by Sleeps"

The American Indians of early days
reckoned time by what they called
sleeps" and "moons." The Indians
''sleep' referred to a sun-to-sun day
of "a hours and his "moon" to what
the white man roughly and improperly
calls month. The Indians Indicated
the noon hour by pointing vertically
upward. To indicate the middle of the
first half of the daylight periods
o'clock-he pointed upward midway
between the horizon and the zenith
and to indicate mid-afternoon - 3
o'clock-he pointed toward the oppo-
site quarter. He spoke of the eastern
horizon as sunrise" and Of the west
ern horizon as sunset"
Journeys and distances between diff
ferent points were measured In
Sleeps" Thus, when he undertook
70 tell how far he had travelled or to
tell how far one point was from an
other. the old-time Indian would say
certain number of sleeps" Ordina-
rily. a "sleep" in this sense correspond
ed to something like 80 miles--the dis
lance man could cover in a day, trav-
cling at an ordinary pace on foot.
However, 1t was not unusual for men
carrying important messages to make
twice 35 miles or more ina single "a
hour period.

New York Landmarks Going.

The downtown" section of New
York is losing one of its landmarks
by the demolition of the Eastern hotel
to make room for an office building.
For nearly a hundred years 1t has
been the favorite hosiery Of American
seafaring folk. Dynamite Johnny"
O'Brlen, well-known for his practice OF
shipping arms to the Latin-American
countries, concocted many Of his fill
clustering schemes in this hotel, which
he made his headquarters.
One Of the features of this build
ing was its beams Of solid mahogany.
In 1922, when it was constructed, car
goes of supplies were frequently
shipped from New York to South
American ports, and when return
cargo could not be secured mahogany
was brought back, serving the purpose
of both cargo and ballast. These car
goes were sold cheaply, and were often
used in the construction Of New York
buildings of that period.

HOBEYMO0NS m ODD PLACES
Persons Of Adventurous Disposition
Have Spent Them Amid Arctic
and Savage Dangers.

Mr.. Elklns, the wealthy Young
American who recently took his bride
for a honeymoon "as near the North
pole as he can comfortably get" Is
by no means the first bridegroom who

A few years ago Mr.. Max FleIscA.
mann, a Chicago millionaire. at hls
brides request. took her straight frdm
the altar TO the Arctic wastes, where
they spent, on their own evidence,
delightful" months, hunting seals,
reindeer and polar bears, two of which
fell 10 the brides own gun. Mrs.
Fleischmann's honeymoon wardrobe,
we are told, consisted Of an assort-
ment Of sheepskin dresses, lined with
leather,
Less chilly, but no less adventurous,
was the honeymoon journey Of Major
Powell-Cotton, who took I'M bride on
long and hazardous journey through
Africa, spending many months In the
heart of the Ituri forest, hunting the
okapi and making friends of the saw
age pigmies, who had never before
even seen white woman.
But the most daring and adven-
turous Of all recorded honeymoons
was that of Captain Andrews, an
American sailor, and his bride, who
started to cross the Atlantic in a
"cockleshell," Il feet long, and were
never seen again.

interest in the $50,0OO,000 road construction loan
which was authorized by the voters at the last election
Marion county is one of the three or four counties
in the state that have only small immediate interest
in this road measure. The voters evidently elt that
it would benefit Marion county to have better roads
throughout the whole state, for majority OF the Mar
ion county voters approved the loan amendment, but
since Marion county has already spent about 6,OOO,
900 on good roads and has a creditable amount OF
lhem it is not to be expected that there will be much
construction here soon under the new loan. Never
theless Marion county will have to pay its proportion
Of the carrying charges this loan and it is proper
that its interests should be looked after when the leg
slaure gets around TO considering the place tor DIS
bursting the road fund and constructing roads with IT.
However the committee Of the local club which IS
charged with responsibility for devising plan OF ac-
ton on the part Of Marion county should realize that
it is dealing with several very stubborn conditions One
Of them is that the Legislature will not entertain any
scheme which contemplates taking the construction
Of state road funds out of the hands of state au-
thorides Local road construction means wastetu!
road construction That is the greatest weakness OF
the district road building which is the rule IN West
Virginia Most Of the people who voted for the road
bond issue did so with the distinct understanding that
the roads which the bonds would make possible were

club or any other local organization can hope TO do
with the Legislature therefore, is to provide that IN due
time Marion county will get its full share OF The fund.-
