THEY LOOK LIKE LEAVES.
Some Insects That Can Hardly be Dis.
Singuished From Parts of Trees.

Some Insects That Can Hardly be Dis.
Singuished From Parts of Trees.
Saturday Review.
At recent meeting of the London Zoolog-
ical Society for scientific business, Mr..
Sclater called attention to a specimen of q
leaf insect living in the society's insect
house, which had been received from the
Seychelles .and presented by Lord Wal
singham. The leaf insects, of which but
few species are known, belong to the same
family (Phasimida) as the stick insects,
and both are marvellous illustrations OF
mimicry in nature. They are all noctural
in their habits, and spend their days resting
form their food, and their resemblance, re-
spectively, to the leaves and twigs is so ex-
traordinary that it is not surprising that
they escape the observation of their enemies.
The leaf insects are most singular; the
head and part of the thorax form stalk,
while the abdomen, which is fiat, thin, and
much dilated, exactly resembles leaf. The
legs, which are six in number, have broad,
membranous appendages on the thighs, and
these are especially noticeable on the fore
legs; the result being that the creature,
while resting immovable, has the appear
ance of leaf which has been gnawed on
both sides by caterpillar. In the insect at
the Zoo this resemblance is most exact, and
the illusion Is heightened by the coloring,
which makes 1t appear slightly withered at
the edges. It is the habit of the insect to
hang back downward, with the abdomen
slightly curled up, and, to quote Mr.. Muir
ray, s'this habit brings to light another
beautiful contrivance for still further
heightening its resemblance to leaf. The
upper surface is opaque green, the under
surface glossy, glittering green, just the
reverse of the myrtle or guava leaf, so that
by reversing its position it brings the glossy
side up and the dull side down."

THE NORTHERN FRONTIER,
CANADA INCREASING THE FORTS ON THE
PACIFIC SLOPE.

Report From General Miles as TO the
Possibility of Invading British Columbia
In Case of Wharf.-The American Coast
Cities Practically Defenseless.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE dispatch
from Ottawa detailing measures that have
been taken by the Dominion Government to
efectually fortffy British Columbia is very
suggestive, when taken in connection with
tne statements made confdentially by
General Nelson A. Miles to the Senate Com
mittee on Relations with Canada, which has
been gathering information upon this sub
ject for the past two years. General Miles
stated In his confidential communication
to the committee that he has been stationed
on the Pacific coast for about ten years, and
and during that period the discharge of his
duties led him to consider generally the
condition of the military and other defenses
OF the United States on the Pacific coast,
and has always led him to acquire some in
formation in regard to the military works in
British Columbia so far as they may be a
menace to this coast.
The information which General Miles
gave to the committee was gathered for
himself and also, as he stated, "for the
higher officers of the Government" and
was regarded as confidential, but, of course,
he considered himself relieved from any re-
sponsibility as to secrecy when called by
committee of Congress to state the facts
known by him. He stated his belief that
the railway system of British Columbia
could be occupied by American troops in
ten days-in other words that the principal
part of British Columbia could be occupied
by American troops, not, however, through
Victoria, because the British Government
has expended millions in buildings dry
docks, navy yards and Notifications at that
point.
"But," said General Miles, significantly,
II think it is fair to say that during those
ten days the British fleet could destroy
every town and city on Puget Sound, de-
stroy our railroad system there and occupy
our outlets for that Northwestern country.
They could also send ships up the Columbia
river and destroy the city of Portland and
that system" This statement was ex-
planned by General Miles by the humiliat-
ing admission "that there is not gun or an
earthwork in Puget Sound. There are a
few obsolete guns at the mouth of the Colum-
bia, at Ft. Candy, but that is not now oc-
cupied by troops"

TENNY BEATEN AGAIN.
Salvador Runs Past the Little swayback
and Wins With the Greatest Ease for
the Champion stnkes ar Monmouth


Park.
MONMOUTH PARK. August 2-The weather
was magnificent, the track in good shape and
altogether the prospects for sensational days
racing could not have been improved. There
were about 10000 people present. The load
stone that attracted all these persons was the
Champion stakes The best horses in the
country were to be brought together on even
terms, and every lover of racing wanted to see
the result. 1t was the third race. the Champion
stakes of $3.50 each with s., 500 added; the
second to receive $500, mile and half. Sal
vator is champion. He has won that title In a
fair and square contest with Tenny, the only
horse on the American turf that has any right
to dispute the title with him, and he did 1t in
such decisive style that there can now be no
question whatever of his superiority
Slowly at first, but gaining in speed at every
jump, they approached the starter almost on
battle of the giants had commenced. Sal
vator's colors showed in front on tho
outside. For five furlongs they ran In this or
der. Then, as they struck the turn for home,
Garrison let out a link on Tenny and he shot
to the front, getting a lead of half a length:
Murphy at once sent Salvador after him, and
as they rounded into the stretch he was at the
little swayback's nose. From that point to
within three furlongs of home it was pretty
race. All of a sudden Murphy commenced to
ride Salvador, and the shout went up: ''Tenny is
beatenr' 1t was true. Tenny had to acknowl-
edge defeat. When Murphy found that he had
Tenny beaten he eased, and as Garrison did the
same thing it was a tame finish, Salvador win
ming by four good lengths. This victory settles
decisively the question of the relative merits of
Salvador and Tenny and while the latter is a
great horse, he will have to occupy a second
ary position whenever Salvador is mentioned.
The fractional time of the race is as follows:
Quarter, 02614; half, 05014; three-quarters liz;
mile, las; mile and quarter, 2O9; mile and
half, 2:S5%. Other results follow:
First race, seven furlongs-Meriden first, My
Fellow second, Bellwood third. Time, 1850.
Second race, Junior Champion stakes for 2-year-
olds So 000 added, g. 900 to second and 81 600 to

SAN ANTONIO, August 1.-THE State
Democratic Convention met this morning
with 1000 delegates present. and as many
more visitors who came in the interests of
candidates or as lookers-on. The day was
spent in choosing temporary and permanent
officers. B. D. Tarleton, Of Hall county,
was made Temporary Chairman. ]. G.
Huttheson, of Harris county, was made
Permanent Chairman. There was but
little contest before the Commit
tee on Credentials, but two dele
cations having any fight to make, both of
them being decidedly in favor of Hogg for
Governor. The platform is strong docu-
ment, denouncing the exorbitant tariff, the
Federal election bill, the recent course of
the United States Court, and declaring that
the State Democracy favors the creation of
railway commission.
A plank was inserted demanding separate
coaches for whites and blacks. The utmost
enthusiasm prevailed. The supporters of
General Hogg are so vastly in the majority
that there is no fight against anything they
do. The nominations will be made to-
morrow.

The Beautiful Plan Tint Has Been Adopted
by the Indian CommissIoner.
uRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, August 12.-Indian Com
missioner Morgan, who. soon after his ap-
pointment, provoked good deal of gossip
by appointing his wife his confidential
clerk. thus adding 81. 900 year to the salary
of the family, which, by the way, is with
out other members than his wife and him
self, is again a subject of newspaper adver-
tisement. 1t is just discovered that he has
had in his house since April two Indian
girls from the school at Carlisle, who do the
entire housework of the family, cooking,
washing, ironing, plain sewing, sweeping,
scrubbing, etc. Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan ad-
init all this, but say that the girls knew
little or nothing of this work and that they
are teaching them.
They refused to say what wages they gave
the girls, or whether they pay them any
thing. It seems that the superintendent of
the Carlisle school, without. authority of
law, has been in the habit of farming out
the pupils. Mr.. Morgan says the two girls
in his possession have finished their course
at the school, but do not want to return to
their people until brother and sister are
also ready to go, which will not be for sew
eral years. Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan lived at
a boarding house until they secured the
Indian giris to do their work.

YESTERDAYS ATTENDANCE.

For twelve innings the base ball men bat
tied for the mastery at Recreation Park yes
terdsY and the contest was witnessed by
1885 people. The game was exciting from
the very opening to the time the last run
was made by the visiting team in the
twelfth, when but one man had been retired
The score was of the see-saw order, first one
team had the advantage, then the other.
Anson said Hutchinson would allow the local
men but one hit. However, he was mistaken
and his favorite was hit hard from the start.
His support was excellent and quick field work
saved many runs. Gumbert would make
frst-class pitcher if he had better judgment
when men are on bases. With the bases clear
he has thebatsmen almost at his mercy, but the
minute they are filled he becomes ratified and
is hit with ease. He fields his position splen-
didly.
Pittsburg got one run in the first and Chicago
Immediately took two. then Pittsburg knocked
out two and had the advantage, while the
visitors were blanked. The local men failed in
the third and the visitors scored one. tieing the
score. PIttsburg took two in the fourth and
Chicago got three, giving them the lead. They
still held the lead in the fifth, but the sixth
the local men got three to their two. and tied it
again. In the eighth the visitors again took
the lead by two, but in the ninth, after two
men were out, the score was tied and thus it re-
mained until the twelfth, when three singles
and sacrifice won the game for the visitors.
Score:
