John Nowack took out ihe patent. The weather plant is still wileved by many persons to foretell the weather, John Nowack was sure it did so, and he put it on the market along with au indicating apparatus, puaranteeing it to foretell for forty- vight hours in advance and for fifty miles around fog, rain, snow, hall, earthquake and depressions likely to cause explos fire damp. Alas for poor, Nowack! The experts of the burean of agriculture took up his pat- ented plant. They proved that the movements of the leaves—to the right foretelling rain, to the left foretelling drought—were not caused by the weather, but by the light. And they aroved that the plant's famous down- ward movement, which was supposed to foretell e Eh was caused by that punctured the stem, g the leaf, naturally, to droop. is the only patented plant I of, and Nowack lost money on ions of an insect causio That know it» Birds to Free Them. often purchased in the bird Lucknow, India, in order to * again.

A Chinaman was killed recently in Bangkok in a duel with another of his race. The Chinese method of dueling is interesting, but does not seem dead- ly. These two Bangkok Chinamen fought with the two forefingers of each hand, stabbing each other with these in the region of the spleen and at the same level on the other side of the body. The men who go in for this kind of contest practice every morn- ing, stabbing bags of rice or paddy with these fingers till they can use them like a piece of iron. Death by Bolling. In old England, before the law was passed which prohibited “cruel and un- usual forms of punishment,” murder ers were often condemned to death by boiling. In such cases the victims were chained in large kettles of cold water, which was gradually heated until it caused the flesh to drop from the bones, The last English victim of the “boiling death” was one Rouse, a cook, who, it was alleged, had killed seventeen persons.
