observations Made by a Lady On Bria
.5i August Evening,

observations Made by Lady On Bright
August Evening.
In the twilight OF an evening In lnst
August my attention was drawn to
quite an unusual syllable sound--ka,
ka, kat, ka. The repitition was sharp
and incisive, indicating that the musi.
clans were young and full OF life, and
why they did not complete the sentence
katy did, Katy did it--aroused my
curiosity sufficiently to incite an inves-
tigatiOn of the matter. Stepping out
on the veranda I soon found Miss
Katy on vine which ran over the
piazza, surrounded by n group Of gall
lants. Whether she was sad f1irt
and had brought the infliction upon
herself OF so many callers, or whether
it was her own Inherent loveliness and
beauty that attracted SO many at the
same time, was not for me to know;
could SEQ only the result of some law
or katydid etiquette which was mex.
,plicable to me.
There were five OF these young
suitors looking precisely alike, and so
far as ! could sec no preference was
shown to one moro than to another by
the fair Katy. who was seated on o
spray Of honcysuckle and empowered
by an overhanging cluster Of belated
flowers. Her visitors walked around
her In a slow, courtly manner, with
their long antenn@ lying straight back
over their wings. But every little
,while one and thon another Of the
number would politely salute her by
bringing forward his antennm a0d
gently waving It over her; then would
come the sharp chorus OF voices-ha,
kat, kat-all talking at once, when the
suitOr would subside and replace his
iantennm over his back and foil into
rank with the others.
Happening to know that another To-
male was not far away, ! secured her.
and placed hor near this group, think
ing thereby to divide their attention.
i put her below them, knowing her
tendency would be to walk upward
rather than down. She no sooner
reached tho party than the first Miss
Katy began to rise up until she stood
on the very tips OF her toes, looking
like young giantess. and all the timo
waving her antenn9 rs II to dismiss
her, while tho sharp click OF the males
resounded on every side, as II assuring
her Of their entire devotion, and that
they would not be swayed from their
loyalty by this unbidden guest. She
did not tarry long, however, but
walked away without single follow
or, and only one Of the gallants saluted
her as she passed, touching her with
his antennm.
The modo OF communication among
all insects is with these organs; and
for aught we know, their language
may be as perfect with them as ours
with us.--Aary Treat, IN CAausau-
guam.

NATURAL GAS INITIATION.

Ayers balloon Lands TWENTY-FIVE MILES
From the Starting Point--A Night Trip
Among the Clouds.
ANDERson, IND, Aug. 14.-The natural
gas balloon "When," which sailed from
Riverside Park at five o'clock last evening,
with George Ayers as the only passenger,
has been heard from. The balloon, which
is one hundred feet in height and sixty.
five feet in diameter, was inflated with nat
ural gas from the Mccullough well. IL IL
made Of silk, fitting closely in network
Of cords, and was inflated with gas from
the Mccullough well until a gauge indi-
Gated twenty pounds pressure. Mr..
Ayers then took his place In
the basket suspended from the net
work Of the balloon. His cargo con-
sisted of pint of brandy, few sand
wiches and a heavy ovcrcoat. When nll
was ready the word was given to cut the
anchor rope which held the air-ship fast
to big oak stump, and up II went. Mr..
Ayers arrived here this afternoon on the
Markleville mail hack. He says that the
balloon rose steadily until the City Of An.
derson looked like mere spot, and White
river like q crooked thread. Then he felt
the cold, damp wind, and as he was pull
ing on his overcoat he saw the city and
the park, with its thousands Of people
In IL, drifting away from him, but
he could not tell in what direction.
He could see the sun, but he could
not tell whether he was going toward or
from IL. Finally It disappeared and he
was left in darkness. From what he could
discover he was drifting quite slowly. AT
ten o'clock he passed over big light,
which he now believes to have been made
by the Mnrklcvil!e gas we'll. This light
was two hours fading from sight. Then
all was blank until nearly four O'Clock,
when daylight appeared. Soon he could
discern the fields from the timber land be-
low, and when he found himself over q
large area Of cleared land he pulled
the valvo-rope Of the balloon and gradu-
ally descended, olighting on the farm OF
Squire Reeves, near Wilkinson, in Ham
cock County, and but twenty-five miles
from where he started. No one saw him
descend nor knew he was near until he
raped at the farmers door. After break
fast the old man took Ayers In his buggy
to Marklevllle and sent him home In the
mail hack. This is the first balloon ever
inflated and sent up with natural gas. Mr..
Ayers is Of tho opinion that ho reached at
least a mile and half high, hut 1t being
night, and having no instruments with
which to measure tho altitude, this is mere
conjecture. The extreme calmness &C.
counts for the short distance made.

ABORIGINAL CARPENTRY.

How tho Indian Wood Workers Built
Houses with Glass Tools.
At tho Smithsonian Institution at
Washington are collected Us many of
the aboriginal tools Of America as
the officers have beon able to gather.
''Of COURSE" said H. F. Mcleod, one
Of the attaches of the institution, ''ab-
original carpentry was the chief trade
OF our predecessors on this continent.
The Indian and the mound-builder had
very good idea Of ood-working.
You will see even now some very pret-
ty joining done by the Sioux Indians.
Their tent-poles make a flt which
many white carpenter would not like
to try to better"
'The best carpenters. OF course,
were the Aztecs, who had arrived at
quite q high stage of art, and whose
tools, although they knew nothing OF
steel, are really excellent We have q
few of their tools at the Smithsonian,
bat the best collection is. OF
course. in the City Of Mexico. The
material used was almost wholly glass,
especially for the finer parts Of their
wo0d-cutting. To chop trees they
used flint axes, and for the rough hew.
ing-out of tho logs tho samc, but when
II came to tho accurate ftting.in OF tho
hewn timber. they handled glass
knives, chisels and saws worry dettly
and with beautiful results. There is q

hieroglyphics'and faces cut upon 1t,
all with glass. You con 500 bits OF
the aboriginal chisol still sticking In q
corner OF the work. where 1t broke of
three centuries ago under the hand OF
tho workman. The Aztecs knew how
TO mako very good and manageable

swords, daggers and spears, saws.

When tho edge dulled, they broke 1t
from the end instead OF sharpening II,

"You can SOC great deal OF aborigi-

thcy follow their cid patterns. They
know how to make ladders, and they
swing their doors on hinges from the
top. and they know how TO mortise
timbers-knew how long before Co
lumbus landed In America OF course
they use our tools differently from our
way. The chisel they push rather

The Whole Vital Machinery

Depends for the fuel, which is the origin of
its prop ulsOry force, upon the stomach. In
that hidden alembic the food undergoes the
chemical changes which transmute it into
blood. from which the system draws the
material that reimburses it for it's daily losses
of tissue: These, of course, are greatly
augmented in disease. II the stomach, there
fore, is weakened or disordered, the system is
deprived of sustenance. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters can be relied upon to facilitate and
renew digestion when that function has been
interrupted by weakness of the stomach.
BiliOusness or a diversion of the bile from its
proper channel, which causes constipation, is
also remedied by it. Heartburn wind on the
stomach, sick headache, fur upon the tongue
