What Emptiness May Do.

When large shell is fired into the
air 1t leaves wake more or less like
that of a boat rushing through water.
Immediately behind the projectile as
it moves many miles minute through
the atmosphere there is vacuum. The
air family is quick mover at filling
such space, but Of course it is more
or less confused and frustrated by the
unexpected arrival and passage Of the
projectfle, and the vacuum is real for
a fair portion Of time. If there is an
airplane going full tilt across the wake
of that fred shell Immediately behind
the projectile, it must run into the
vacuum. Then it may be more seri-
ously damaged than II it had been
struck by the shell. The air shuts to-
gether with force that hurts all with
IN reach. Such q clapping Of the hands;
OF air In q similar vacuum made by a
holt Of Lightning makes the thunder. It
is better to hear 1t than to feel It.
Airplanes have been brought down In
the world war by that means. Those
long American navy guns did that to
German two.seated plane, and 1t came
crashing down into the Yankee lines.
The pilot was dead.

The Queer Leaf Insect.

It is called the leaf insect, and until
1t starts to crawl it is quite impossible
to tell where the leaf leaves off and it
begins. It comes in all sizes from three
inches long to the length Of little
finger nail. And it is not leaf come
to life, though that is what it looks
like. It hatches out Of tiny, square,
brown eggs. What would be the leaf
stem issits backbone, and the point
where the leaf attaches to the twig IS
its head. It's legs look like bits OF de-
cayed and ragged leaf, and no two OF
them are identical in length. size: or
shape. It's wings are irregular an0
veiny and have small discolorations on
them, as though they had been, touched
by early frost. You could not tell the
creature from the leaf it. was sitting
on to save your eyes. Most extraor.
dinary thing I ever saw! It. gave nae
the creeps and made me think OF hor-

orchids and boaconstrictor vines that

70 HONOR GOLD DIscovERER
Project for establishment OF 4 Mu.
scum at PIacerville, CAL, in Mem
cry Of James Marshall.

Miss NJ. A. Kelley Of Kelsey, instrue-
tor in Ell Dorado county schools, has
undertaken the establishment of
Haugtown museum at Placerville, and
a similar institution to be erected sur
rounding the blacksmith shop of the
late James A. Marshall, discoverer Of
gold in California, as it now stands in
Kelsey. The Hangtown museum as
contemplated is to contain exhibits Of
the days Of 40 and the various ar
ticles used in gold production during
the early days Of Hangtown.
A large assortment &C these exhibits
is available from old residents or de-
scendants Of the pioneer families in
FL Dorado county. Placeryille will
support the location and maintenance
of the museum. At Kelsey, where the
old blacksmith shop Of Marshall now
stands almost ready to fall to pieces,
It is desired to build a stone wall and
covering a-ound the old shop to pre-
serve the remembrance of Marshall.
Miss Kelley knew Marshall inti-
lm1ately. Many people have it that Mar
shall died a pauper. This, Miss Kelley
saws. is untrue, and that he not only
possessed the hotel where he died,
but had two gold mines known as the
aBlg Sandy" and "Gray Eagle" both
Of which are productive mines and
now owned by the Breyman estate Of
Toledo, 0.

First Patents for seeamhoats.

By 4 number Of curious condolences
the United States government issued
Its first patents for STEAMBOATS, on An
gust rs, 17a1, to Nathan Read, John
Fitch, James Rumsey and John Stev.
ems. Some time previous TO the issu-
Ing Of these patents Read invented
the necessary machinery to adapt
Watts steam engine to boat and land
carriages. In 1859 he exhibited to q
committee Of the American Academy
Of Arts and Sciences ! model Of a
steamboat with paddle wheels, which
he designed to connect with q high
pressure engine. Read also invented .
multtubnlar boiler and still another
form Of boiler On the Same principle as
is used at the present day on Our loco
motives. The FIRE passed through
small spiral tubes, and in this way
consuming the smoke and several 9TH
er forms with many apartments to
which the water was to be gradually
admitted as fast as it was evaporated.

roy DOG HAS HIGH VALUE
Rrussel. GriHon,. Practically unob
tainabie Just Now, Is Likely to
Become Popular Favorite.

The Brussels Griffon is popularity
known as "the monkey-faced toy dog,
and he il one Of the brightest, sharpest
and gamest Of all toy breeds. The
Gr1ffon is cross between Irish ter
rier, Yorkshire terrier and Yorkshire
spanie, .nd only the fortunes of val
and the difficulties Of getting any dogs
out Of Belgium have prevented the
Grifon from becoming leader among
the toy breeds that are so fashionable
just now.
American breeders Of Grifons have
a bit Of advantage over their Euro:
pean coufreres, inasmuch as cropped
dogs are allowed to be shown in this
country and there is no question that
It does improve the appearance OF
this breed when the ears are carried
erect. -. s..sa
The smaller these dogs are the
more valuable. A Griffon weighing
three or four pounds, that is to say,
so small that he esln be carried in a
lady,s nuff, Is worth almost anything
the fortunate possessor wants to ask
for him. ct the present time it is
almost impossible to obtain such a
dog.

$3.50 for October on small buying, but
