The Buffalo Tree-Hopper.

This active little insect belongs to the
order Hemiptera. 1t is third of an
inch long, Of light grass green color,
with wb;tish dots and pale-yellowish
streak along each side. 1t gets its name
from the curious resemblance of two
points, one jutting out from each side,
to the horns of buffalo. It's body is
three sided, not unlike a beech-nut in
form. Like other hemiptera, it takes
food by suction, being furnished with a
sharp pointed beak which it easily
tbrusts through the bark into the sap
cells.
1t feeds on the apple and many other
trees from July until the end of the sea-
son. The winter is passed in the egg
state. The eggs are laid in rows of
punctures made by the female oviposi-
tor, which is thrust through and under
the bark. The young larvae are of the
same color as the adults, and also pune
ture twigs and leaves to feed upon the
sap.
Before the young obtain their wings
they may easily be caught and destroy
ed; but the adults are entirely too ac-
tive for this measure to be successful.
However, it is not probable that it will
ever become more than temporary an
noyance to the fr,lit-grower. Twigs in
which the eggs are placed may be cut
off and burned.

Uses of Soapstone.

A writer in London journal calls at
tention to the unappreciated uses and
preservative qualities of soapstone,
material, he says, which possesses what
may be regarded as extraordinary quail
ties in withstanding atmospheric infu-
ences, those especially which have so
much to do with the corrosion of iron and
steel; it being a well-known fact that the
inside of q steamer which is not exposed
to the action of salt water, like the bot
tom, corrodes much more quickly than
the outside. 1t has, too, an additional
quality in this line, one which adapts it
in a remarkable degree as protective
point for ships, and this is the extreme
fineness of its grain; indeed, ground
soapstone is one of the finest materials
producible, and, from experiments made,
it is found that no other material is cap
able of taking hold of the fibre of iron
and steel so readily and firmly as this.
1t is also lighter than metallic pigments,
and on this account, when mixed MS q
paint, is capable of covering larger
surface than zinc white, red lead, or
oxide of iron. In China, soapstone has
long been largely used for preserving
structures built of sandstone and other
stones liable to crumble from the effect
of the atmosphere; and the covering
with powdered soapstone in the form of
paint on some obelisks in that country
composed of stone liable to atmospheric
deterioration, has been the means of
preserving them intact for hundreds of
years.

"Wheu the Paupuan was questioned
about the bird from which the feather
had bcen obtained, he begged private
interview with Captain Dustin, and
when this had been granted and bad,
we we're called back into the cabin.
Never shall l forget the eager tongue
with which the infatuated Captain of
the Pearl told us that the roosting place
of the rare birds was in the forest, not
far from the very cove in which We were
anchored, and that the old native had
promised to guide party to the spot
for few trinkets, which trading
vessel always carries. Again there arose
murmurs of doubt and suspicion, and
some of the men said openly that the
feather was painted decoy, and had
been used for the purpose OF drawing
us into a bloody ambush.
"Captain Dustin laughed at this He
believed that we had discovered new
species of the bird of paradise, and said
that little risk would enrich every
man on the ship. 1t was that very risk
that held us back, still deferring to the
captain, whom we loved, we left the
matter to him, which meant that the
wonderful feathers would be sought.
"After the old natives departure
every canoe vanished as if by magic,
and strange quiet settled down over
sea and shore. Although night had
come it was not dark. for the sky was
studded with stars, which were reflected
in the water and seemed to render it q
vast diamond field.
Meantime, we made rapid prepara-
tions for our hunt for the feathers. The
native had said that the bird was es-
teemed sacred by his people, but added
that we could reach it's retreat and Sc
cure n number of the species before
being discovered.
cit was near midnight when the cap
tain's boat, containing twenty picked
men, left the Pearl and pulled for shore.
The oars had been muf1ied so as not to
alarm any natives who might be on
guard, and the utmost precaution in
every way was taken. We reached the
shore at the spot suggested by the old
Paupuan, and to our surprise found him
on band TO take his place as guide at
the head of the column. Single file we
managed to climb the cliffs to the high
ground, when we started off through a
lot of stunted pines, guided by old
Ombu and boy. his son.

postors, had strange experience with
ham. 1t had been nicely boiled and
lifted from the pot to q dish, steel
carving fork had been inserted, and Mr..
Gorsuch was sharpening knife to carve
when a strong odor of sulphur became
apparent and he turned to see the fork
making a circular excursion toward tho
floor, where it stood upright, while the
ham, nearly skinned, started at rail
road speed for the end of the table. The
labor-saving streak of lightning confined
its operations to the ham and the fork.

A VANISHED RACE.
Queer Sculpture and Painting on the
Rocks in West Virginia.

The erection Of the new government
dam in the river near this city has hid
den from sight the famous pictured
rock" one of the familiar landmarks of
the Kanawha Valley and one which has
octs,sioned much wonder and fruitless
speculation, writes Charleston CIV.
va correspondent The rock was To-
Gated near the mouth of Paint Greek,
and, while the river was in the natural
condition, was visible at low water
every summer. Some years ago n part
of the stone was removed for building
purposes, an act of vandalism which
should have been prevented at all haz-
ards, and now the remainder is sub
merged at all seasons of the year.
When whole, the surface Of the "pic-
tured rock was about twenty by thirty
feet in extent, and was covered with
representations of animals, fish, and
fowls, carved deep in the smooth sur
face. On one side were the figures of q
man and bear, the latter being about
life size. Near by was buffalo track,
and short distance away was the rep
resentation of large fish and number
of footprints, evidently representing
the imprints of child's feet. The
work was evidently done by prehistoric
people, as the traditions of the valley
are that the representations were on the
stones when the first white man visited
the region, and that they then bore un-
mistakable signs of great age, being
water-worn with age.
The vicinity of Paint Greek is rich in
aboriginal and prehistoric relics, and
volume might be written of the discov-
cries which have been made there.
Almost every excavation brings to light
something of interest to the antiquarian,
and there is every evidence that in past
ages the valley was thickly peopled by
an unknown race, probably contempor-
ary with the mound builders of the
Ohio valley.
At Moorefeld from the time of the
first settlement, the cliff known as the
Gap Rocks, in the Petersburg Gap, has
borne the gigantic representation OF
common fox. The picture is upon the
sheer and inaccessible face of the rock,
some thirty feet from the top and nearly
one hundred from the bottom, and
being colored dingy yellow, in sharp
contrast to the brown stone, has been
visible for long distance. Last Tues
day, Glen McGill, of Ohio, who was
visiting Cell Beans, near this place,
went out to view the fox, accompanied
by Mr.. Beans. After an inspection
from the bottom of the cliff the two men
assembled to the top, and making rope
fast to tree, McGill lowered himself
down to the fox. He describes it rs
being about twelve feet long, and paint
ed OF plastered upon the cliff with q
hcfo hi n n aloun
which is as hard as the rock itself. The
surface of the fox is quite rough, as
though the stuff was roughly smeared
on by hand before it hardened. There
was high wind blowing at the time
McGill made his venture, and he ran
considerable risk. He took along
mallet and chisel, intending to cut his
name OH the fox, but was prevented by
the force of the wind, which swung him
about at an alarming rate.
