The Queer Leaf Insect It Is culled the leaf Insect, and until It starts to crawl It Is quite Impossible to tell where the leaf leaves off ami It begins. It comes In all slr.es from three Inches long to the length of a little (Inner nnll. And It Is not a leaf come to life, though that Is what It looks like. It hutches out of tiny, square, brown eggs. Whnt would he the leaf stem Is Its backbone, and the point where the leaf ut Inches to the twig Is Its bend. Its legs look like hits of de cayed and rugged lenf, and no two of tlfVm -tire Identical In length, size or Nhiipe. Its wings are Irregular and veiny, unit hnvo small dlHcolomtlonH on them, sh though they had been touched by early frost.

The English manner of today, of what are called the classes, la the growth of only a century or aa John Galsworthy writes In the Tale Re view. There was probably nothing at all like If In the daya of Elizabeth or even of Charles. IL The English man ner waa still racy when the Inhabltanta Of Ylrelntn. as wa an told umt over to ask that there might be dispatched to tnem some hierarchical assistance for the good of their souls, and were answered "D n your souls, grow to bacco." What He Wanted to Say. General Blddle said at a London garden party: "The doughboy In Prance has a lot or trouiiie wltn tne French language A doughboy sat on a . bench. In the Tullerles gardens one day and thumbed a French phrase book discon tentedly. "JThls here book,' he growled, 'don't tell you what you want to snv at all. It tells you how to say the uncle of your mother is aixty-nve years old, or the slRtcr of your wife has bought a cow, or the umbrella of your neighbor la in the attic, but I don't want to say nothing of that kind. "'What I'm after,' said tho dongh boy, 'Is a book that tells you how ti soy : "Your face Is familiar ain't we met before?" or "Gee, them eyes 1" or "Little girl, you sure do look out o' sight In that awtmmln' suit."'" Dal las News. ' "Silence Lanes" In Fon. One of the freiiks'that mariners huve to contend with Is silence lanes In fogs. These lanes not only retard the sound of foghorns, but. stop it entire ly. A lookout man on a ship may not 'be able to hear the foghorn of a close by vessel if his ship Is In one of those silence lane In time to give warning of It proximity. ' It sometimes happens that there Is a sone through which the sound car ries exceptionally well, and the look out men of vessels In such a sone are unable to Judge the distance away of another vessel, ' whose foghorn they hear ao distinctly. - Horses Generously Fed. Horses In the veterinary hnsnltnls on the British front In Prance were fed four times a day. The more de bilitated -ones were fed five or six times.

Not a factory In the country can be operated. The Germans wrecked two mines be fore they were stopped In their work of destruction by President Wilson' protest The other mine may be opened soon, but the factories must wait for machinery. When it will com nohorfv knows. But the spirit of the people 1 on touched by the year of oppression. Nightly parade and the clatter of wooden Fhoe as they dance In the street prove this. Government appraiser are now out In all parts of Belgium reviewing the damage done by the Huns for the res toration bill which Is now being drawn up.

The hotels now have ample food atores which the Germane left Thir ty thousand egg were found In the Deutsch bank. Other food was stolen by the Ger man from their own stores and sold to the Belgians during the retreat in cluding herds of cattle at 110 a head. In the hotels and shops of Bruges, Brussels and Ghent almost anything may be hand, but the prices are high because the supplies are limited. The masses of the population are still dependent on the committees which have undertaken to handle' the food problem. , Pork and beef are about $3 a pound, butter Is $2.50 and eggs are CO cents each. Belgian) Is prostrate, hungry, but Joyous. She Is putting her best foot forward, hiding her pain and "carry ing on- till things get going again. Dozens of Belgian have told me witn touching confidence that America was going to send Hoover to direct the work of reconstruction. This is gen erally believed by the Belgians. I entered Belgium from Calais and pureed the first thin string of thriving little gardens running right to the edge of No Man's Land, where everything suddenly became a barren and pock marked desert There the only life wus the Germain prisoners working on the railway and their guards and the little families Of refmreea Rtnnrtlno- amid the runs of what once had been home. On the east of th nM ftmn tiTua it Is sUll beautiful Belgium. Dixmude is dui a rockplle, but Brussels and Ghent appear nndamnored Tin Ml vnn enter the factories stripped of their machinery and the homes stripped of their copper and brass and wool. Flags Still Flying. At Bruges, where the nnrfen nf tho U-boat crews were held, the Oermnna In their hasty evacuation left a ser geant to bring on the string of flags from the public square flag for each 8hlD the U-boats hurt mint Tho flags are still there.

It took him hours to make his way through the cheerlno- his home. He was made an honorary burgher Of the Cltv. Antwern hH at. ready conferred a similar honor. Four days after the Germans left Brussels the Befglans had t-iwtort beautiful plaster model for a statue to America and another to Edith Cavell. They will remain nnrll thov placed by stone.

Marshall, discoverer of gold in California, as It now 'stand in Kelsey. The Hangtown museum as contemplated is to contain exhibits of the days of '49 and the vsrlons ar ticles used In gold production during the early days of Hangtown. A large assortment of these exhibits Is available from old residents or de scendants of the pioneer families In ki Dorado county. Placerville will support the location and maintenance of the museum. At Kelsev. where the old blacksmith shop of Marshall now stunds almost ready to fall to pieces, It Is desired to build a stone wall and covering around the old shoo to rr- serve the remembrance of Marshall. Miss Kellev knew . Marshall Inti mately. Many people have it that Mar shall died a pauper. This, Miss Keiley says. Is untrue, and that he not onlv possessed the .hotel where he died, but had two gold mines known aa the "Big Sands" and "Grav Eaele." both of which are productive mines and now owned by the Breyman estate of Toledo, O.
