Some Crawling Leaves.
Ella Rodman Church in Harper's You
People.

TeOple.
When Auetralia was first discovered
the English as many strange stories were
told about the wonderful things to be
found there as we used to hear in the
early days of California. Among other
things it was said that the leaves of a
certain tree had a habit of descending
from their proper place and walking
along the ground. A party of English
sailors had left the ship to roam along
the coast and 'see what they could see."
They we're resting under a tree lying on
their backs PROBABLY, and naturally gaz-
ing upward, when a suddenlbreeze shook
down a number of leaves. which turned
Of leaves generally, and then foated to
the ground. The sailors were surprised
at this shower, because it Was not the
fall of the year, but mid
summer, and these falling leaves looked
fresh and green. 1t was strange
to see leaves deserving the trees without
any sort of reason; but this was nothing
to what followed. After a short rest
these able-bodied leaves began crawling
along on the ground toward the trunk
of the tree from which they came, and
the amazed sailors started up IN terror.
They probably knew from experience
that people who come in contact with
the groung may also expect to come in
contact with various crawling insects,
but walking leaves were something alto
gether out Of the common way, and
they took to their heels at once, and lost
no time in getting on board the vessel.
The land vas ..certainly bewitched ,and one
of the men said, in relating their adven-
tnre, that he expected every minute to
see the tree step out ambulance a regular
jig. Fortunately this singular phenom-
enon has been fully explained by later
travellers who were not too much fright
It was discovered that these queer

the same color as the foliage. They
have very thin, fiat bodies, and their
wings are like leaves. When anything

their bodies, and then the Ieaf-like
shape, with stem and all, is complete.
Not only are they Of a bright green in
summer, like the foliage of the trees
at that time, but they actually change
when the leaves do to the dull brownp pro-
duced by frost. Another popularity Of
this leaf insect is, that, although they,
have a generous supply of wings, they
seldom use them, but when they have
been shaken to the ground, after lying
there for a few minutes as if they were
really leaves, they crawl toward the tree
and ascend the trunk without seeming
to know that they have the power Of
getting back to theiI quarters in q much
quicker and easier way,

a Study In Anatomy Thac Puz-

III WAC oAA - -
The autopsyon the body of Robert,
Hart, the one legged notion dealer, who
died on the evening Of the 4th, after
being struck by Thomas Fogar.y, a Paci-
fc street saloon-keeper, brought to light

m1ortem was CONDUCTED by prs. Levings-
including heart, lungs, liver, etc, was
found to be perfectly normal and healthy
and the most minute inspection of the
spinal cord and other vital parts failed
to reveal any cause of death. The alb
sence of any wound or abrasion puzzled
the physicians, and it was not until the
the brain was reached that the mystery
was solved. When the seat of knowl-
edge was reached it was discovered that
there was not a particle OF blood about
the brain and that il had been literally
paralyzad by the desertion of the fluids.
The fatality is technically known as
in the capillary vessels. The brain
Or. Levingston explained to a Chronicle
reporter, Is nourished by the oxygen in
the corpuscles of the blood. A rush or
desertion of blood from the head conse-
quently leaves insufficient nutrition for
the brain to carry on it's functions and a
paralysis of the heart occurs. This will
cause death from three and a half to five
minutes. Painting fits are a form OF

but from the prowess attributed to the

likely that the emotion was M of rage.

Broken Down In Spirits aud Health.
Amos Rutter, of New Holland, T. nj.
Storb ard B. J. Kinzer were in West
Chester on Wednesday and while there
called on John FrankfOrd. Mr.. Rutter,
who was watchman at our prison at the
time Frankfort escaped, was interviewed
at length afterwards by a reporter. lie
stated that Frankfort is changed man,
and he is TO more like he was of old than
day is like night. His voice is weak, and
hs has lost ali animation and is broken
down generally. He is very melancholy
and SAYS that he doesn't know where he
will be tried, whether in Chester or
Lancaster, but it matters not which, so
far as tho verdict ON the result of the trial
is concerned. He says he has not seen
any members Of his family lately. Pre-
vious to his arres. he took walk through
Wanamaker's with his wife, but as police
men had an eye on him he soon left the
building. He states that before his arrest
in Chester county 10 visited his wife twice
in Lancaster county, but spent most OF rs
time with gang OF sconndrels IN Phl:a
delphia. Mr.. Rutter is of the opinion that
regret, remorse and repentance have taken
possession of the man, and were he once
clear Of everything appertaining to mat
ters criminal, he would shake the dust of
lawlessness from his path and enter the
straight and narrow path toward right
eousness. From what he saw Of him, be
thinks that, broken spirited as he is, and
with q heavy and dreary sentence before
him, John Frankfort will not long trouble
