So she endow-, ed him with a hearing apparatus by which lie could detect the soli lit that a gnat did not make, at least. so far as our hearing is concerned, and guide him straight to his prey. He is approxi mately named the Big-eared Hat or 1>es ert Hat and though his body is not much larger than the common bat. bet has a wing-spread of about sixteen inches, and when silhoutted against the fading cop per of a western sunset he cuts quite a tigure. His face is anything but an attractive one. as his eyes are only little black pin heads, over-shadowed by Ills enormous ear* that come together in front ; his mouth is small ami drawn, and he has curious club-rdiaped swell ings between his eyes and nostrils. His back and rubber-like wings are a yel lowish-brown, and the under part$?%f-dirty white. With ears keyed up to catch Auction Sale Tuesday, June 17, 11 a. m.

The ahort time that tlu< children stay at home, before tliey are strong enough to hold to their mother, they .-are fed only twice, once at evening twilight, aud once at morn ing twilight. th?* rest of the time they sleep. The bat is one of the strangest of all animals : while lie is as truly a uiatniiitll as the elephant, or the cow, he partakes largely of the attributes of a bird. We seldom see him except on the wing, so naturally, we come to associate him with the feathered folks. Some time ? in the morning of his existence, ho was > probably a little every -day, four-legged. ( mouse-like creature, but as his main food . supply consisted of minute Hying insects, j he would necessarily often have to go] to bed hungry, if lie stayed on the | ground. So little by l?ttle. each sue- ' eesslve generation of bats saw their front 1?*ks getting longer and longer, and his lingers growing into regular imbrella ribs. Ami as his fingers, lengthened a thin skin formed between them, and the lu^t thing he knew, he had a perfectly vrood pair of wings. But as his flying UfS.nvcrs increased. his walking powers de creased, until now be can only drag, .him self along by booking his claws in tlic ground. Hats arc distributed pretty much over tlie world, but in the tropics the.v are more numerous, while their numbers and varieties decrease as they go nofth ward. Some of our native bats remain through tin- winter, sleeping rn caves and sheltered places*, while other kinds go south when winter sets in. and returns with the hi ills 'in the spring. Bats are perfectly harmless, are as cleanly as a ?*at. and very gcSod friends of the farmer, as they destroy many harmful insects. ? A. David.
