Shoes Covered with Diamonds.

The facility with which a hoot-black
makes shoe shine like diamonds has been
remarked by every one, but it is doubtful if
any one has thought out the proposition
that when the knight of the brush is
through he leaves your foot-gear bristling
with diamonds. Diamonds are nothing but
crystaliized carbon. Backing, which Is
bone black. is little more when moisteaed
than carbon paste, and the friction Of a
hRlr-brush being one Of the most efficient
methods OF generating electricity, has the
effect Of crystallizing the carbon of the
backing. As soon as this is done the boot
Is covered with millions Of infinitely small
diamonds, and, of course, begins to shine

THOSE Old-time Yankee whaling cap
tains whose yarns of adventure de-
lighted our sires have nearly all gone,
and we do not seem to have sea rovers
of their kind nowadays. The bold
Capt. Palmer of Connecticut, who died
last week, was one of them. The nine
teenth century was in its first quarter
when he struck. out for the Spanish
main in a Yankee brig. and before it
was half ended he had rounded Cape
Horn. cruised in the China seas. raced
the Atlantic in his clipper. and borne
the American flag wherever there were
wind and water, free course, and a
chance to make something. Drawing all
perils and fearing no rival. He per-
formed gallant deeds. too, at his own
risk, in a humane spirit, as can be
proved by the medal he got from
Queen Victoria soon after her corona
ton, and also by a letter he got from
Daniel Webster. The fact that the
Captain lived till he was within two
years of ninety is good evidence that
his stuff was strong. his blood clear,
and his brain sound. We have plenty
of brave and adventurous Americans
in our time. both upon the seas and on
the land; but we guess the sailors bold
of the fine old type to which Capt.
Palmer belonged are not very numer-
Gus in proportion to the population.
Each one of the few such men who
are yet alive ought to leave behind
him book of strong sea yarns for the
entertainment and encouragement of
posterity. Every book of the kind
that can be picked up by the probably
dull and grouty generations yet unborn
will be like a godsend to them. 1t
will tell them Of their sires in the jolly
years of our republic.

to speak of the incident with undis-

STOPPED By GRAssH0PPERs.
A Train in New York brought TO a stand
still by the Insects.

a Train in New York brought TO a stand
still by the Insects.
The story is an old one about west
ern railroad trains being stopped by
grasshoppers during a memorable in
vasion of Kansas and other states by,
these insects, said a New York travel
ing man to a New York Sun reporter:
. land it was and Is still looked upon in
the east as a wild reach of the western
imagination. L believe no one had
deeper doubt of it than myself. But /
doubt no longer, for was on a train the
other day right in our state of New
York which was stopped by grasshop-
pers as effectually as the ENGINEER with
his airbral1es could have stopped it.
THE railroad 0was the Chautauqua
Lake railroad and the train was on its
way between Mayville and jamestown.
All that region has had a most de-
structive visitation of grasshoppers this
year, crops, foliage and even hay, cut
and housed, having been absolutely
eaten up clean by the ravenous insects.
This day the passengers on the train
noticed that frequently it would grad
ually slow up and come almost tot
standstill, but after awhile regain
somewhat of its regular speed. At
last, though, after slowing up and the
engine working in way that showed
that the engineer was making his
greatest effort to overcome whatever
the obstacle was to the progress of the
train, it came to dead standsti1l A
trainman was hurrying through the
car 1 was in and 1 asked him what was
the matter.
8 'Grasshoppers, said he. We're
stalled again nv ora
Nobody believed him, of course, but
1 got out of the car and it wasn't long
before L found that he was in earnest.
Grasshoppers had effectually stopped
the train. The rails behind us as far
as anyone could see were two glisten-
ing lines of grease. AS far as anyone
could see ahead the railroad tracks
were hidden by untold numbers of
grasshoppers. Men had to be sent
ahead to sweep or shovel or scrape the
insects off the rails. By dint of much
sand and steam the train was at last
got under way, but for nearly two
miles the advance guard of trainmen
had to keep the train clear of grass
hoppers Immediately ahead of the
locomotive wheels before we had
passed out of the tremendous swarm
of insects, fat to bursting on the crops
of the Chautauqua region, and the
train could goits way without danger of
further stalling. / learned that the
trains on that road had been unable to
make anything like schedule time for
several days and that no trip had been
made on any train in that time on
which it had not been stopped more
than once by the crushing of grass
hoppers on the rails
