TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, FEBRUARY 4. 1909 Selections THE SEA BAT, Specimen of a Fish That la Both Queer and Rare. One of the rarest si>eclmens of the fish kingdom known to waters con tiguous to the North Carolina coast was captured In a seine at Masonboto sound by William Hewlett, a fisher man. says thn Wilmington Dispatch. The fish, which was brought to the city, is what is called "the sea bat.” and it is a perfect reproduction of a leather wing bat on a large W’ale. The fish Is about fifteen Inches long nnd about thirty Inches across the back. Strange to state, it had a thin, threadlike tail about fifteen Inches In length, and on each side of the rear appendage were two perfectly formed gloved feet, with a smaller dimension having the exact appearance of a thumb with the other part of the band mittened. The mouth of the strange specimen was about five Inches across, and on each side of the mouth or the underside of the body there were five “strainers," or boles, through which the fish is said to rid itself of refuse products resulting from the forage it picks up at the bottom of the sea. The top of the fish was a dark slate color, and the under part of the body was white. One old negro fisherman more than seventy years old declared that this was only the second specimen of the sen bat he had ever seen In his long experience as a fisherman. The speci men. which had a truly uncanny ap pearance. will probably be sent to the state museum at Raleigh. d Carving Scissors. "I thought 1 knew all about seis- ,rs," said the man. "I had seen tall- ar*' scissors fur tutting heavy cloth, dreismakers' scissors for cutting filmsy fabrics und lace and still other scissors Cor cutting paper, finger nails, grape vines, all kinds of metals and even for shearing sheep, but in spite of that wide knowledge of scissors 1 was puz zled wbeu 1 saw the large, peculiarly shaped pair of scissors lying la the showcase. “ ‘What are these scissors for? I asked the clerk. With “ 'Carving meat,’ he said, scissors of this kind carving becomes mere child’s play’ “ ‘I never saw anybody use them,’ said I. “'Nobody does use them,' said the clerk—That Is, only a very few. In Europe carving scissors are popular because they cut right through meat, gristle, bone and nil, but it takes a little practice to learn to manipulate the things, and nobody in this country has patience enough for that.’ "—Ex change. The Talking Pots. “Yes, these pots of mine are all right," said the potter. “They don't talk, though.” “No pots do." “Don't they? Look here." He took from the shelf a strange, crude pot daubed yellow and blue that bad the shape of a duck. He filled it with water; then he poured the water out ngaln. "Quack, quack, quack!" said the pot distinctly. Every gurgle was a distinct quack. "There's art for you,” said the potter. "Every gurgle of that duck pct Is a quack. Wonder ful Aztec art! And I have an Aztec pig pot that grunts like a pig and a dog pot that barks like a dog. Won derful chaps, those Aztec potter fel lows! I wish 1 knew their secret.
