In an address which he said he was

the Constitution and sweeping away the
principles Of party responsibility.
The direct primary, bloc agita-

INSECTS MAKE LEAVES WALK
Queer Creatures Responsible for Odd
Belief That Has Long Been Held
in Australia.

There are some strange leaves Ia
Australia which the people used to
think could walk alone. Whenever
there came y gust Of wind these queer
leaves blew off in q perfect shower.
As leaves generally do, they turned
over and over, and rested upon the
ground. Then they would seem to
crawl toward the trunk OF the tree
from which they fell. Since that time
1t has been found that these leaves,
as they were thought to be, were real
insects and lived upon those very
trees. Their bodies are thin and fiat
and their wings veined, just like q
leaf. II they are disturbed their legs,
which are folded away under their
bodies, leave their whole shape ex-
actly like the leaf of tree, with stem
and all. Bright green In the summer,
these singular little insects, chame-
leon-like, slowly change their color to
dingy brown, just like a leaf that
has been frosted 1t IS strange that.
with wings, they do not fly, but rath-
or walk or crawl along the ground.

The incident shows the trend of in

The application was made to Su-
preme Court Justice Pooley by the
Buffalo gravel corporation, which
asked that the district attorney be
restrained from prosecuting any of
the antitrust cases growing out of
the visit which the Lockwood build
ing probe committee paid this city
More than 90 individuals and cor
porations have been indicted, under
the Donnelly antitrust act, which has
been on the statutes for Is years
and has been repeatedly upheld by

however, settles the plea for an in
junction against the district attorney
by ruling that the antitrust law is
invalid.
