TEL--THE VISITORS FROM TIE SEA-
SHORE.
WAIuALLA, August 24.-The pop
ularity Of Walhalla as health and
pleasure resort is demonstrated by
the fact that each year the number of
visitors grows larger. The spacious
hotel of McSsrs. Bicmann & Son has
been taxed to its utmost, and the
private boarding houses are al hay
ing a good run of patronage. The
heavy increase demands additional
hotel accommodations, and to that
end the Norman Drug Company, of
Walhalla and Georgetown, have Just
purchased the large building known
formerly as the Pieper House and
run at that time as a hotel.
The building will be entirely reno
waited and furnished with modern
convenienccs, such as electric bells,
bath rooms, etc. AS it will be an
all-the-year-round house, the pro-
prietors will make special efforts to
secure good line of Northern pat
ronage during the winter season. a
kennel will be built for the benefit of
sportsmen who may be attracted here
by our fine game and who wish to
bring their dogs with them. The
park, which faces the Blue Ridge
Railroad, will be bcautifcd and laid

as a substitute for granite blocks,
ateel paving is attracting considerable
attention, as durability being said to
be quite point in its favor, and Its
cost being somewhat less. 1t consists
Of steel strips about q inches wide and
l inch thick, rolled with channel on
the side exposed to traffic, and with
notches about 6 inches apart. These
strips weigh eleven pounds to the yard,
are laid across the street distance of
about five inches between centres, and
their length is only sufficient to extend
to the middle of the street, go that the
proper slope from the centre to the gut
tiers can be secured. They are bolted
together, so as to insure them against
lateral slipping, and are fastened to
wooden stills. A firmly constructed
bed of gravel composes the support for
this pavement, while between the steel
strips mixture of pitch and cement
is poured, filling the interstices to q
level with the tops OF the strips, and
rendering the surface comparatively
smooth.

4 very successful test of gas-burn-
ing locomotive was made last week on
the Eastern Railroad, Massachusetts.
One of these engines ran PIG miles and
consumed 796 gallons of naphtha, at
cost of $685. The Boston Journal says
that the locomotive does not differ very
materially in Its appearance from the Or
binary machine Of the kind, the only diff
ference which would strike the observer
being that in the tender the customary
heap of coal is replaced by large
tank. This tank contains naphtha.
Inside of the cab, instead of the black
doors usually closing the fire-box, there
are doors resembling those of parlor
stove, filled with mica or glass, through
which can be seen the flames of the
burning gas. The fire box is occupied
by system of retorts and perforated
bars, the latter taking the place of the
CRATE bars of the ordinary flre-box.
These perforated bars, which occupy
the greater portion OF the space, are
designed 10 carry over the area under
the boiler the gas to be consumed,
this being emitted at frequent inter.
walls through the perforations and be-
coming ignited on its emission.

TREES of the palm family have
larger leaves than any others. The
Inaja palm, which grows on the hanks
of the Amazon, has lie yes which reach
"a l-ngtn o. from thirty to fifty feet,
and are ten or twelve feet in breadth.
Spec mems of the leaves Of tile TALBOT
palm, a native Of Ceylon' have been
met with that were twenty feet long
and eighteen feet broad. These leaves
are used by the natives to make tents,
and form very efficient shelters from
the rain. The leaves OF the double
cocoanut palm are often thirty feet
long and several feet W de. When the
wind is strong they clash together with
noise that may be heard at a great
distance. Only one leaf is produced
each year, and they are so firmly at
tached to the stem of the tree, and so
strong in themselves, that man may
sit onthe end of one and rJck to and
fro in perfect safety.
