WALKTNG LEAvEs OF AusrRALIA.-Alnost
everybody has heard Of the wonderful walk
ing leaves Of Australia. For long time after
the discovery of that island many people
really believed that the leaves OF GER
tain tree which Hourishes there could walk
about upon the ground. The story arose
in this way: Some English sailors landed
upon the coast one day, and after roaming
about until they were tired, they sat down un.
der tree TO rest themselves. A puff Of wind
came along. and blew Of o shower Of leaves,
which, after turning over and over In the air,
as leaves generally do, finally rested upon the
ground. As it was midsummer, and every
thing appeared quite green, the circumstances
puzzled the sailors considerably. Bat their
surprise was much greater, ss you may we'll
suppose, when, after a short time, they saw
the leaves crawling along upon the ground
towards the trunk of the tree They ran at
once for their vessel, without stopping to cx-
anime into the matter at all, and set sail away
from the land where everything ssemed to bs
bewitched. One Of the men said that hs ''sx.
pected every moment TO zee the trees set-to
and dance jig"
Subseq usnt explorations Of Australia have
taught us that these walking leaves are In
sects. They live upon the trees. Their bo-
dies are very thin and fat, their wings form
ing large leaf like organs. When they are
disturbed their legs are folded away under
their bodies, leaving the shape exactly like q
leaf, with it item and all complete. They are
of bright green color in the summer, bat
they gradually change in the fall, with the
leaves, 10 the brown Of frost bitten vegetation
When shaken from the tree they lie for fev
minutes upon the ground, as though they were
dead, but presently they begin to crawl along
towards the tree, which they ascend agsia,
They rarely use their wings, although they
are pretty well supplied in this respect.
