INCIDENTS OF THE THRONG
Thirty Thousand People Visited the
Island on the Boats.

Thirty Thousand People Visited the
Island on the Boats.
Never before in the history of the San
Francisco and North Pacific Railway has
such crowd congregated in the ferry
depot as was ready to take the first boat
for the second annual Night in Venice at
Belvedere.
Thousands upon thousands jostled and
jammed each other in their anxiety to be
among the first to depart. AT times the
pressure of the masses of pleasure seekers
was SO great that many were forced through
the gates without presenting their tickets.
1t became necessary to close the gates
once, but after that the passengers were
allowed to file slowly through until the
boat was comfortably filled, leaving behind
number of disappointed persons with
either wife, husband, sister, brother or
sweetheart upon the departing boat.
After reaching the dock at Tiburon,
hundreds of rowboats, sailboats and a
large number of the eyer-ready gasoline

MAKING TOYS.
The Art Descending From One Genera
tion to Another.


Miss Amelia B. Edward, in her "Un-
trodden Peaks" mentious many an in
teresting visit to the homes of the working
people of ST. Ulrich, where so many toys
are made.
'In one house." runs the account, 1--WE
found an old, old woman at work, Mag
dalena Paldauf by name.
'She carved cats, dogs, wolves, sheep,
goats and elephants. She has made these
six animals her whole life long, and she
has no idea of how to cut anything else.
She makes them in two sizes, and she
turns out as nearly as possible a thousand
of them in year.
'She has no model or drawing of any
kind to work by, but goes on steadily,
unerringly, using gouges of different sizes
and shaping out her cats, dogs, wolves,
sheep, goats and elephants with an ease
and an amount of truth to nature that
would be clever if it were not utterly me-
chanical.
"Magdalena Paldauf learned from her
mother how to carve those six animals,
and her mother had learned, in like man
ner, from her grandmother.
!. Magdalena has now taught the art to
her own granddaughter. and so it will go
on being transmitted for generations"
In another house Miss Edwards found
the whole family carving skulls and cross
bones Tor nX1ng at the base OF cruclhXeS,
for the wood-carving of Grodner That is
religious in its nature as well as amusing.
In other houses there were families that
carved rocking-horses or dolls or other toys,
and in still other houses there were fami-
lies of painSers.
in one house we found about dozen
girls painting gray horses with black
points. In another house they painted
only red horses with white points. 1t is
n N
die and headgear. A good hand will paint
twelve dozen horses a day, each horse being
about one foot in length; and for these she
is paid 55 soldi, or about Is Sd English"

THE STRANGEsT INSECT.
1t Is Half Plant and Is Found in New
Zealand.

The aweto, as the Maoris or natives of
New Zealand call it, or Hipialis virescens
as naturalists term it, is found in New Yea
land, and is vegetable caterpillar of from
three to four inches in length, and, so far,
science has not been able to say whether it
is vegetable or an insect. 1t is always
found at the foot of large myrtle trees that
have beautiful red flowers on the stems,
and beautiful creeping clematis as white
as the snow. The Maoris call this tree by
the name of rata. The aweto buries itself
among the roots Of the rata, few inches
below the ground, and there lives until it
is full grown, when it undergoes most
wonderful change. The spore of a vege-
table fungus. termed by naturalists Sophoe-
ria Robertsii, fastens itself to the neck of
the caterpillar, just between the head and
the first ring, and then grows upward to
the height of from six to eight inches.
Many people assert that there is never
more than one stem, but such is rot the
case, Tor some have been found with two
stems, although very rarely, says the Bos-
ton Transcript.
The stem shoots up out of the ground,
above where the caterpillar is living, about
two or three inches; below the earth it
grows into the aweto, until it fills up every
possible space within the outer skin with
out changing the form Of the insect the
slightest way whatsoever, but simply sub
shutting a vegetable matter for animal
matter. AS soon as this takes place both
the plant and the caterpillar become dry
and die, but retain exactly the same form
as when alive. The whole has a brown
color and the insect appears a wooden
caterpillar. with huge horn standing up
from the back of it's neck. How the cater
pillar manages to propagate its species no
one can tell. Usually the caterpillar be-
comes chrysalis, the chrysalis changes
into moth, the moth lays eggs, and those
eggs again become caterpillars, and SO on
without stopping. Many reasons are given
why the plant shoots up from the back of
the neck of the aweto. One is that the
aweto has Shiny substance oozing out
from its neck, which, while the aweto is
boring at the foot of the rata tree for its
only food, catches the seeds of the fungus
and holds it fast there till the latter begins
to grow. When it has sucked all the vege-
table life out of the aweto it must naturally
die, for it finds no further nourishment.
The aweto is often found in large numbers.

The Durrant Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-When the
Durrant trial was resumed this morn
ing the crowd struggling for adlnis-
sion was greater than ever. Two
lines Of policemen guarded the CORR
doris and prevented anyone entering
the corridor approaching the court
o except jurors, attorneys, news
paper men or citizens having permits
from the Sheriff. These speedily oc-
cupied chairs, and then no more Spec
tators we're admitted.
The earlier part of the session was
consumed in a long wrangle between
the attorneys for the prosecution and
defense about the accuracy of dia-
grams of Emanuel Church which the
prosecution offered as exhibits to ia
cilitate the examination of witnesses.
The defense claimed the diagrams
were slightly inaccurate. Finally the
Court allowed the introduction of the
exhibits, saying their accuracy could
be determined by actual measure
ments taken later.
From the actions of defendants
attorneys the impression has gained
currency that the defense will be
technical if the attempted alibi
fails.
After a lengthy examination of
Policeman Russell as to the interior
Of the Emanuel Church, the proseca-
ton called Rev. j. George Gibson,
pastor of the church A Autter, of
excitement went around the COURT
room as Gibson wasf called. Great
things are expected from his test
mony, and many think the defense
will try, as i'll the preliminary exam
nation, to attack the character OF this
witness and, if possible, throw some
suspicion on him. .c.s:. !
Before any questions could be asked
of Gibson the court took a recess until
2 o'clock.

Alfred Vaughan Tries to Escape.

TIC Io ESClDc.
Alfred Vaughan, the condemned
murderer of the Littster boys at
tempted to break out of the Austin
Jail last week, says the eveille. Mr..
and Mrs. Vaughan, the father and the
mother OF the murderer, live in
Austin and Charley Vaughan, Il
brother, who works for Henry Thesis
OF Lovelock, were in the plot to assist
Alfred to escape. The suspicion of
Sheriff Easton and his Deputy we're
aroused by the actions OF the father,
mother and brother of the prisoner
and they kept a close watch on him.
He became sullen and acted in such
way that the officers were certain
something was up. The Jailor and
Sheriff made a close search of the in
side of the Jail, but found no signs of
an attempt to escape. They watched
the prisoner closely and noticed that
he spent most of his time at the win
dow of the corridor and that he avoid
ed beng seen when anyone was in
sight.
The Jailer again examined the in
side of the Jail, but found no signs
there. He then examined the win
dow on the outside and found iron
dust ON the sill and went into the
Jail and accused Vaughan of trying
to saw out. The murderer broke
down and admitted it and gave Jailer
Smith n of the saws he had been
using. Smith informed the Sheriff
and Vaughan was locked up in an
other cell and the one ne had occu-
pied was thoroughly searched. In
this cell the Sheriff found d made
from an old case knife. Vaughan had
put it through the floor and suspend
ed it by Il wire about Il foot long. An
examination OF the window showed
that the cross, bars were sawed nearly
off and that it could be opened in a
few minutes. The sawed placed were
carefully filed with soap so that they
would easily escape detection.
Vaughan is now safely locked III q
cell and is kept in close confinement.
He is very. sullen and tells his keepers
that he was a fool for not frying to es-
cape sqener and that had he escaped
he neVerwould have been caught.
His manner is entirely changed to
what il YES before his attempt to es.
