BILL ARFS LETTER.'
BATS, BEES AND WO3XEN PHY
LOSOPHICALLY DISCUSSED.
Will1am Wishes He Were a Naturalist
Gen. Young's Crazy Quilt.
Laat night whih we were all quietly reading
my wife looked np and remarked: "There is a
bat in the room." A long timie ago she used
to ju:np up with alacrity and go into another
room and wait 'till I got the littl- varmint out,
but anno domini takes the seate out of a wo
man as well as a man, a':d so now she keeps her
seat. The girls said. "rake the lamp into the
hall and it will go out," but it wouldn't. My
wife said, 'you had better get the broom and
knock it down, but don't you knock it this
way." I notic-ed that -he had put The Sunny
South on her head sadde fashion, and the girls
had covered up all bur th-Ar eyes. Carefully
I mounted a chair and began to sweep for the
little creature as it s'immed around, but it
takes a long time and I lost my perpendicular
a veral times. ' The bat is the missmg link,"
said I as I gave another stroke. "Seems to be,"
aid my wife. "You miss it every time." "It
Is not an amphiblous animl," said I "but very
ambignous.' eaid she. ''It I chiropterous and
esertilto." said I as I made another lunge
and the chaircareenied and let me down eay.
Pausing a while to get breath, I remarked that
those big words of Linneus meant having handh
and fingers and coming out a! twilight. "Well.
do please get the thing out of here-and
you can tell us about it afterwards," said my
ife. The n'*xt effort was an accidential
snccess. The bat was knocked down and
swept cut. Then I got the cyclopedia and dis
covered from it how the bat wsa a bird that laid
no egg-. 1-"t gave birth toitsyoung andsuckled
them-how it had hands and feet and fingers
ad toes and even finger nails and toe nails
now it had teeth, canines and molars; how it
was not blind but had little tiny eyes bid in
he hair, (-Yes that cannot bear the light an 1
re entirely clcsed when flying around a lighted
room. 4 uvier experimenred with them andt
ut their eyes out and they could still fly around
nnd never tou -h a wall or a cei-ing. I-l said
it was oning to their exqui'ite sense of touch
and of smell and hearing. The ancients said
the bat had a sixi sense 1-y which they could
avoid collision with walls awl so forth, but Cu
vier did not think so. They are a very ancient
little animal and I reclon ba1 a place some
where in Noah's ark, bat we don't know whether
e put them with the birds or the bags. Moses
declared them unclean and clas ed them with
,,.Is and vultures. It seems to as that it is a
;or, niserable life they live, but I reckon they
joy it, especially when they come in the
house and alarm the women aird children.
They have a unique and lonely -lace in crea
tion, there being tut two or three kinds, and
they never cross or mix and have n- society.
They have the miniature hands and feet of hu
man beings, the :e th of a dog and wings to fly
like a bird. Even Darwin could not tell whether
,heyevoluted backward or forward.
I wish t hat I w.as a naturalist. It is an ever
lring mysterv to study these little creatureq
all around us. How a fly can so swiftly glide
pon the window p:ae, what language the ants
us.e as theylass and repasi ore another as they
go and come from their hidden nests. I wa'ch
hem on the poks in the trell:s and they never
fail to pause for an instant and say something
and quickly pass in. SIay be ;t is "Howdy,"
or "Are all well?" or "I am glad to see you
: ive my love to the children." That they say
omething there is no dounbt. Then there are
the lightning buns that would bi a great won
hr if thev were not so common. Did yonever
observe tiat they nevr lighten except to rise
hher in the aii? They make no descending
light. and so it is evi-l' at that the light they
make is not to see by. but to propel them up
wards. It is an el- etric power-a force without
hea-anad our scienat s s miightt study it and
:nalyze the wonderful lit tie chemical machine
that lies hidelen in its tail. IL. is a power as
well as a light'. My friend Bussey, the bee
man of Matrietis, says ho tried diligiently to
crss lightaning hugs wi'h his bees so that the
cross could see how to work in the dark, but
he failed. I haive great respect for Linnens
and Cn-vier and Audobon an-l Agassiz, who
hve left us such a tressury of knowedg-: that
hey gathered from n 'ture. It does seem that
nrovidence rse< uap such men with a kind
inrpose and gives them a key to unlock
ils statehouse. Every once in a great
while a greaet mran comes up to mm
ster to our plea'-nre, our learn-ng or
ur comfort. Thus knowledge be
comes difinsed and the world becomes
wiser and' hbett'r. If m-: is the best finder
woman is te best diffuser' of knowledge. I
tonemp'ate I them yesterday as they worked
n a er:-zy gilt at. my house. A goa-l lady,
who is alway s at work for the church, or the
,cor, or the heathetn. brought over the patch
xerk of a quilt to b'- made up. She got her
manyu frien-is to make each a square and yes
erday it was a 1 stitched together and em
bri'ered attd the seams pressed down and a
r ich border piut on. an I it is aboutt as lovely as
a crazy qutilt can be, for tla'ey are the most
distratedt tings ina the woald and' nobody but
e azy people admire then. General Young
liked t o have tak'n a1 fit over this onie before it
was put together, and he has bought it for .225
nd is goitig to take it to Guatemala whean he
o a hack at.t will make an official spread of
it on ihis couch of --tate. rethaps Ihe may: wear
it on recent ion dava like a Roman tega or a
paish niantila. ~At any rate. th'ee good
tromen'i have been as crazy ars ihe Aqui', and all
for th sak-e orf the heathena Cainese, who aro
killig up our nmissiontariea. I hope it will be
ir,vetd in pmvrr. 1 never san the like. 'lhe

Electric Snaow.
The story of a most remarkable
snow-sternm, says the New York Tri
bne, is told by Lieutenant yJohn P.
Finley, one of the best-informed rme
te'roogists in the country, who en
coniteredx the storm ina musin an
asent of PI.ike's Peak. He says the
storm could be describedl as a "aahooser
oft cold lire." In reality it was s-'
charged with electricity as to prsett
a scen~e more easily imaginaed thn'
deribedl.
At lirst the flakes only dlischartge2
their tiny lights on coming in contact
with the hair of the mule on which
the lieutenant was mouted. Pres
ently they began coming thicker and
faster, erach flake emitting its Mpark as
it sank into drifts of the sno)wl, or
settled on the clothing of the lieuten
ant or the hair of the mule.
As the sternm increased in fury an
the tilakes became smaller, each of thce
ier' particles appeared as a trailin:
bhlze of ghostly white light, a-nd the
nise produced by the con:dtat ele.itrio
expoionis conveyed ina impressioni of
nrature's power wbh Lieutenant Fiu-.
cy will nevcr forget.
When the storm was at its height
and each flake of snow wa like a drop
of ire, electric sparks were shaken in
streams from the hieutenant's finger
tips, as well as from his ears, bestr
and nose, and a wav'e of his armas was
like the sweep of lamingswcrl-bla les
through the air, every point ot snow
toched giving out its little snap and
flash of light.
This phenomenon, though rare, is
ly no~ menans new to meteorologists, it
ham-ng been recorded several times
before. It has 'by some observers
'een treated as a sort of p)hosphores
ere, hut in the case above cited each
lake appears to have been charged
with static electricity.

The secundrely prin~ ~-- of Persia, urged
on by political jealous against Daniel, have
succeeded in ge; tina -'pased that who

I supptose the peopl in the street gathered
tinder and before his window and said:
"Just see that man dofying the law. He
ought tohearrosted." An-itheconstabulary
of the city rush to the police headquarters
and report that Daniel is on his knees at the
wide open wind ow. "You are my prisoner,"
says the effieer of the law, dropping a
heavy hand .'i 1he sh'o.l-1er of tbho kneeling
Dante!. As the constables open the door of
the cavern to thrnst in their prisoner they
see the glaring eyes of the monsters. But
Daniel becomes the first lion tamer, and
they liek his hand anel fawn at his feet, and
that night he sleeps with the shaggy mane
of a wilN beasA for his pillow, while the king
that night, sleepless in the palace, hns on
him the paw an- teeth of a lion he cannot
tame-the lion of a remorseful Conscience.
What a picture it woul.d he for some artist!
Darius in the early dis' of morning not
waiting for ;ootmen or chariot, hastening to
the den, all flushed and nervous and in dis
habille, and looking through the erevices of
the cage to see what had become of his prime
minister. "What, no sound!" ho says.
"Daniel Is surely devoured, and the lions are
sleeping after their horrid. meal. the bones
of the poor man scattered across the floor ,f
the cavern." With trembling voice Darius
calls out: "Daniel?" No answer, for the
prophet is yet in profound slumber. But a
lion more easily swake'ned, advances, antd
with hot breath blown through the er-vice
seems angrily to demand the eause of this
interruption, and then another wild beast
lifts his mane from under Daniel-s hoad, and
the proplhet, wakiw'- up. eom-s forth to re
port himself all unhurt an- well.
But our text siands us at Damiel's window,
opened towardl Jerusalem. Why in that di
rection open? Jerusalem was his native
land, and all the p-om pof his Babyluish suc
cesses eiuld not make him forget it. He
came there from Jerusalem at eighteen years
of age, and he never visited it, though he
lived to be eighty-flve years. Yet when he
wanted t- arouse the deepest emotions and
grandest aspirations of his heart he had his
window open toward his native Jerusalem.
There are inany of you tn-day who under
stand that without any exposition. This is
getting to It' a Nat inn of foreigners. They
have come into all ne-upations and profes
sions. They sit in all chutrches. It may
be twenty years ago since you
got your naturalization papers, and
you may be lhoroughly Americanized, hut
von ean't forget Ihe land of your birth, and
your waurmest symapathies go out toward it.
Your windows are open towar~l Jerusalem.
Your father and mother are hurled there.
It may. have been a very humble home in
whieh von w.'r e born, hut your memory of
ten plays armin d it, and you hopa some day
to go andl see it-tb- hill, th" tree, the brook,
the house, t he place so sacred,. the door from
which you started off with parental blessing
o make youir own way in the we'ld-and
God only knows how sometimes you have
longed to see the familiar places of your
childhood, and how in awful crises of lif- you
woulliketohave.'aught aglimpse of the old
wrinkled face that hent over y'ou as you lay
on the gentle lap twenty or forty or ftfty
years ago. You may have on this side of the
sea risen in fortune, and like Daniel have
become great and may have come into pros
perities whieh you never could hav' reaehed
if you had staid there, and you may have
many windows to your house -bay windows
and skylight windows and windows of con
servatoriy andl win lows on all si-des-but you
have at least one window open toward Jeru
salem.
Whe~n the foreign steamer comes to the
wharf, vou see the long line of sailors, with
sholde.red mailbags, comning down the
plnke, carrying as many letters as you
might suppiose to be' enough for a year's
correspondienre, and this repeated again and
again (during the' week. Multitudes of them
are letters from home, and at all the post

Some of thtese peiple piaye'd on the heather
of the Scottish hills; some of them were
driven out by Irish. famine: seome 6f
them in early life drilled in th.' German
army; some of them were aceustomned at
Lyons or Marseilles or rins to sco on
the street Victor Hugo and Gamohetta;
some chased the ebamois among the Alpine
precipices; some plucked the ripe clusters
from Italian vineyard; some lifted their
faces under the midnight sun of Norway. It
is no dishonor to our land that they remnemn
ber the place of their nat iv'ity. Mis'ereants
would they be If, while they have some of
their windows open to take in the free air
and the sunlight o f an atmosphere which no
kingly despot has ever breathed, they forgot
sometimes to open the window toward
Jerusalem.
No wonder that the son of the Swiss. when
far away from home, hearing the National
air of his country sung, the mialaiy of home
Bickness comes on hit so powerfully as to
cause his death. You have the example ci
heroic Daniel of my text for keeping early
memories fresh. Forget not the old folks at
home. Write often, and if you have a sur
plus of means and they are poor make prac
tical contribution, and rejoice that Amernici
is bound to nll the world by tics of sanguin

but it is appointed for the evangelIzation o:
other lands? What a stirring, melting, gos
pelizing theory that all the doors of othe:
Nations are-open toward uis, while our win
dows are open toward them!
But Daniel in the text kept this port hole
of his domestic fortress unclose] because
Jerusalem was the capital of sacred initu
enes. There had smoked the sacrifice
There was the holy of holies. There was thi
ark of the covenant. Th.'re stood the tern

his vision reminded me of a wedding da

Homer's heaven was an elyslum which I

Many years ago the Turcs :ind Christians
were in battle. and th! Christiaas were de
' feated, and with their commander Stephen
:s fled toward a fortress where the mother of
h this commander was staying. When she
. saw her son and his army in disgraceful
n retreat, she had! the gates of the fortress
f rolled shut, and then from the top of the
it battlement cried out to her son, "You can
I not enter here except as conqueror."
Then Stephen rallied his forces and re
s aumed the battle and gained the day,
D 20.000 driving back 201,000. For those who
e are defeated in battle with sin and death
n and hell nothing but shame and contempt,
but for those who gain the victory through
t our Lord Jesus Christ the gates of the New
Jerusalem will hoist, and there shall be an

Material of which John Brown's

were made is now stacked up in a
couple of barns in Chicago. It is a
very good thing indeed that the
amusement schemes which were re

of the two structures mentioned
failed. Neither building should have
been moved from the original site,
which along gave it interest.
After the failure of the several fool
