Boston Commercial Bulletin. A curious plant has been discovered la Nicaragua. It U called the "Phytologic Eleclris." It possesses strong electro mag netic qualities. The hand Is lamed by touching it, and the magnetic influence is felt to a distance of eight feet. The mag netic needle is disturbed, and the nearer the middle of the plant Is approached the stronger becomes the agitation, until finally it assumes a circular movement. The In tensity of the phenomenon varies according to the time of day, and at night is scarcely perceptible. It reaches its highest point about two o'clock in the day. Stormy ivealher increases its activity. No insect or birds are seen on it. ihQc!. I? civil iV. Dealer in Clocks. Watches and Jewelry, Main St., Just below the Central PROFESSIONAL CARDS. CO.
