into 1.-The Girl Left Behind Me-" and
the regiment was off to Mobile to wait
there for further orders sending them
to the front.
The Second Battalion commander
rode horse that had been in Clusters
last battle, but escaped massacre. Like
his rider, also an old Indian fighter,
the horse was getting old and gray
now, but there was good deal of fire
IN his old frame yet, and he danced
Off friskily as though longing for battle
once more.
They had to march eight miles to the
railroad which was to transport them
from the Western post, and an order
was called through the ranks for
route STEP which made every man
fall into his own gait, and broke the
straight lines into ragged curves. The
order was indicative of the difference
between dress parade, when to be out
OF step was nothing short of a breach
sof regulations, and actual service, when
thoughtful officers saved their men I'M
necessary work out of action.
The girls they left behind them -four
1shed their handkerchiefs vigorously in
noble endeavOr that the final glimpse
the officers had of home should not be
associated with fearful women, and as
the last company swung out of the post
to the Inspiring strains of the band,
the sweethearts and wives separated to
their different quarters, now so desert
ed, and had it out alone. AS picture
of desolation, Goldsmith's Deserted
Village isn't a patch on a garrison
after the troops have gone!
But the regiment recks not of that.
but says, 1T is war;" and takes to the
field like ducks to water, though there
are many youngsters in the service
who have never been in camp except
for practice, and not a few men who
have not seen action even among the
Indians, who have been rather subdued
these past years. And they are living
the routine life impatiently, waiting
the orders that will make them see &C
tual service and will bring more VIC
tories to the regiment and sustain the
fame of it's old record. In thte mean
time they drill and police the camp and
sing about their campfres as the sea-
soned veterans tell tales of the battles
they have seen. .--~
The camp of regiment Is laid out
like little village and is a model of
neatness and order. Not scrap of pa
per or vestige of debris of any sort is
seen through it's length and. breadth,
and the men who "police,'' or clean, go

The Leaf Insect.

The "leaf-insect" is a native of the
East Indies, and the islands of the
eastern archipelago. DR.. Duns, in de-
scrlblng it, says: Suppose the top
of sprout of this years growth to be
broken from bay, the leaves stripped
off, two of them taken and laid back
to back along the sprout to within
about quarter of an inch from the
top, you have then the body and head
OF the insect. At the end of the bare
sprout two forked incipient leaves
stand out. These will do for the horns
The leaves lying thus along the sprout
give as they taper towards their points
the aspect of the body; while the I'M
covered projecting part, with it's half
formed buds, represents the head and
the eyes. The wings bear. the most
striking resemblance to an oak-leaf
cut up the center The regularity of
the larger veins, and the distinctness
of the smaller ones, are very marked
Then you have the four legs like frag-
ments of leaflets, joined to the upper
parts of the body; while two arms,
serving the same purpose as the ten
tacular of the butterfly, branch off from
the shoulder. These are also like frag-
ments of a leaf; but when they are
brought together they form an entire
leaf, with its base at the head and it's
point protecting" When the insect
rests among the leaves it's resemblance
to them is so perfect that only most
acute observer is likely to detect it:
even when it flies it looks far more
like a stray leaf torn from a branch
than a true insect. The leaf-insect
moves about very slowly, and if it were
not for it's extraordinary resemblance
to the foliage among which it passes
it's life, would be powerless to escape
the attacks of it's numerous enemies.

Four Apples Cost Him 5000.

Cashier A. H. Baker of the Jenkin-
town National bank is the owner of
four apples which cost him exactly
$3.50 apiece. He was riding in an
English street trolley car on Saturday,
and had with him satchel containing
$500 in bank notes of small denomina-
ton, for use in the days business at
the bank. When he picked up the
satchel on leaving the car he noticed
that the lock looked strange, and a
close examination revealed the fact
that it was substitute grip. When
it was broken open it revealed four
apples and a newspaper. Mr.. Baker
remembered being very much interest
ed in reading war bulletin at Eighth
and Chestnut streets, and thinks the
change must have been effected during
that time.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

Air Insulation.

At recent meeting of the Societe
[nternationale des Electricians, M. Bar
barat described the new underground
cables with air insulation employed by
the telephone administration of Paris.
These cables are insulated with paper,
and the Insulation is insured by inject
ing from time to time dry air under
the pressure. For this purpose the
compressed air is supplied by the com
pressed air company; it passes over
chloride Of calcium, and is sent into
each cable by means of taps. This
dried air removes every trace of damp
ness and insures the insulation. Some
times the operation can be facilitated
by sending a workman to heat it on
the spot. These cables have been tried
over long telephone systems and have
given good results. 4
