AN EDITeR's OPINION.
Col. Fiveash is Enthusiastic Regard,
ing ROanoke's Rapid Rise.

LIE AhO"AOsAS . >"~-R-
Col. Joseph Fiveash, editor of the
Norfolk Public Ledger, one OF the
newsiest as we'll as one of the most
reliable papers in the State, was ID
Roanoke yesterday. Mr.. Fiveash went
as far West as Pulaski and leaves this
morning for Georgia.
II have been noticing the growth Of
Roanoke" said he, Through the
newspapers. The Big Lick News was
the paper we used TO receive from here
The time dosen't seem long. but there
have been wonderful changes since
that time. We were mol accustomed
to see towns grow up quickly in eir-
GINA, then and where l passed through
on the Norfolk and Western Railroad
in 1882 and saw men busy laying OIL
and grading streets, 1 had no idea that
the town would grow like it has. We
are not making quite as rapid progress
down at Norfolk, but our growth is o
steady one."

Gaudx Colors in Vehicles.

If you are in the vicinity of Michigan
boulevard you will not fail to notice the
tendency to paint vehicles in gaudy
colors. The rigs which stand about
the Auditorium are particularly fashy,
the shade being a. bright yellow. This
shade also predominates in light run
ming carts on the road. There is moth
ing attractive about these conveyances,
and an old manufacturer said, as he
looked at them. that he didn't under
stand why it was that some people in
this country always wanted to travel in
a conveyance SO gaudily painted as to
create the impression that the occupant
was an attache of circus. There has
been too much gaudiness. he said, in

AN ola idea OF Insulation.

After all, these insulated coffee pots
do but represent the application of
device familiar centuries ago to the
fishermen Of south Normandy and the
Brittary coast. 1t has been for an in
definite period the custom there for
these toilers of the sea to start out with
their nets in the afternoon, carrying
with them warm meal for the day
following. The pot containing the
stew or heated delicacy is wrapped i'm
a mattress stuffed with feathers or in
closed in box with feather lined
cushions, and after fifteen hours the
dinner is spread as hot as if it had just
come off the fire, not more than three
or four degrees beingslost as all events.

feather stuffed box on that idea and
put his newly boiled shaving water i'll
it just before he went to bed every

up early and shaving water would not

Infectious Patriotism.

The system of indicating the begin
ming and close of school sessions by
hoisting and lowering the American
flag. which was instituted in this city
by Professor Franklin, has spurred a
number of Orange street urchins on to
imitation. Not long ago a youngster
living on that thoroughfare went out
into the back yard early one morning
armed with a spade and a long pole.
With the former he dug hole in the
ground, in which he placed the latter,
and firmly fixed it there. Then he
rugged sort Of rope and pulley 10 the
pole and hoisted sort of kind of
an American flag. This he lowered
every evening and hoisted every morn
ing with great regularity and much evi-
dent satisfaction. The small boy who
lives next door soon looked over the
fence and saw what his youthful neigh
Dor had been doing; and forthwith he
became seized with desire to do like
wise. He did likewise. and very soon
two flags in adjoining yards were hoisted
and lowered with great regularity every
day. Then other boys who lived there
abouts saw the flags, and now there are
at least eight or nine alleged American
flags fluttering from as many poles in
as many back yards. All are hoisted
in the morning and lowered at evening.

All at Once.

The falling of big tree under the
woodmans ak is always an impressive
sight-and an impressive sound las
all country bred readers will testify.
The historian of the 'Seventy-ninth
Highlanders," of New York, describes
the cutting down of whole hillside
of trees under circumstances that must
have made it a memorable spectacle.
1t was during the advance Of the
Army of the Potomac after the defeat
at Bull Run. Fortifications were or
dered thrown up, and the men of the
Maine and Wisconsin regiments were
set to work at tree telling, a work Wills,
which they proved themselves perfect
ly familiar.
1t was an interesting sight to witness
the simultaneous fall of whole hill
side of timber
The choppers began at the foot of
the hill, the line extending for per-
haps half mile. They cut only part
way through the tree, and in this way
worked up to the crest, leaving the
trees in the top row in such condition
that single blow would bring them
down.
Then, when all was ready, the bugle
sounded, and the last strokes were
given. Down came the upper tier of
trees. These brought down those be-
low them, and. like the billow on the
surface of the ocean, the entire forest
fell with crash like mighty thunder.
