HAVE MUCH ECONOMIC VALUE
Official Of Museum of Natural his
tory Tells Of Importance OF Bats
in Jamaica

Returning recently from the island OF
Jamiaca in the West Indies, where he spent
four months on scientific expedition, IL.
L. Anthony, associate curator OF mammals
at the Museum of Natural History, brought
back with him many fine specimens OF
bats, which are numerous on that and
other islands in@the West Indies, says the
New York Times.
1.-THE only mammals native to the island
today" Mr.. Anthony said, "are, 20 species
of bats and one species OF rodent. These
different bats range in size from small bats.
with a wing spread of six inches, up to
very large bats, with a wing spread OF
from IS to 80 inches"
People in the United States, where bats
are comparatively rare animals, have no
idea OF tile variety and abundance OF them
in such place as Jamaica, or OF the I'M
portant economic value OF the bat. They
are either insect eating or feed on fruits.
The insect-eating variety are small for the
most part, and have considerable value as
insect destroyers. They feed on mosquitoes
and on a great variety of winged insect life
many OF which are obnoxious to man or in
furious to agriculture.

AUSTRALIA HAS MUCH IRON
Engineers Report immense Quanti-
ties Available in the Southwest
Part of the Country

Mining engineers have reported to the
Australian government that immense guam
titles OF iron ore are available at Yampi
sound, in southwest Australia. The estimate
puts the amount OF ore available-tht is,
in sight above sea-level--at 1000, 900 tons.
The larger quantities are on Koolan island,
where the lode rises 600 feet bove the
water line; the lode is over 100 feet wide,
and is traced for nearly four miles, bat really
extends right through the island. On Cock
alto island the height is 800 feet, the lode
running from end to end OF the island
The quality OF the ore is exceptional.
There is only per cent of silica present
and very little sulphur. These analyses CON-
pare favorably with the best known iron
deposits in the world. Newfoundland
(Bell island) ore is $3.50 per cent metallic
iron, with $50 per cent silica. The French
ore run to 57.z3 per cent, the Cumberland
(England) to $3.50 per cent, the Spanish
(Bilboa) to $3.50 and the Algerian to a
mean of about so.

Great Mans Queer Fancy

Daniel Webster had curious fancy for
painting the faces Of his cattle. One week
the poor beasts would walk around with
blue faces, and the next would appear with
red ones. The effect was SO novel taht it
pleased him, and from that time forth he
changed the color whenever he had few
minutes to spare, and would laugh heartily
at the establishment of his friends when
they saw the queer-looking beasts.
