PLANTS DESCRIBED.

"It is curious how plants differ," said
a botanist to a visitor. "They remind
mo of persons. I have a plethoric friend
whom I always associate with a pumpkin,
and to show how accommodating and
obliging some peopio are, when I once
(suggested it to him, ho offered to have
his brain, taken out and a candle intro
duced, bo that the idea of the jack o'
lantern might be carried out. The lilies,
roses, and daisies all remind us of types
of human beings, and the association is
a very pretty one.
"During a journey in India," con
tinued the botanist, "I mnde the ac
quaintance of a number of flowers, and
some of exceeding interest. What would
you think now of riding along through
the wood and coming upon a flower that
offered a fair jump for your horse? in
other words, was three or four feet across
and ten or twelve feet in circum
ference. 'Well, this was the experience of
an acquaintance in Sumatra, where some
of the most remarkable creations of the
floral world are found. This flower was
about all there was to the plant; roots,
stem and ovcrything seemed to have
been sacrificed to make up tho enormous
flower, that weighed, he estimated, fif
teen pounds or more."
"The odor must have been of several
horse-power," suggested the listener.
"So it was," was the reply "so strong,
overpowering, and offensive that it was
impossible to remain within close prox
imity of It. The central portion consti
tuted a cup that held about two quarts
of water, and at this was filled with in
sects dead and macerated, it might have
been the cause of the odor. These gi
gantic creations of the vegetable world
are comparatively rare; only a few have
been seen, and none brought to Europe.
Somo of the plants that I noticed had a
remarkable faculty of going to sleep,
just about as we would ourselves. One
large-leafed fern particularly nttracted
my attention, as it grew at my doorynrd.
In the daytime the lsaves were upright,
but as soon as the sun disappeared they
became gradually depressed, and were
soon completely c'oscd up actually fast
asleep, only opening out when the sun
rose the next morning. But I need not
take you to India to see the plants asleep;
many of our own put on tho night-cap.
There is in reality no direct analogy be
tween tho sleep of animals and plants,
only we know that during the day the
leaves of some are In activity, and at
night they are not; hence we assume
that they are at rest, or sleeping. Take
as an example the acacia tree, tho wood
Borrel, and white clover; compare the
positions of their leaves during uight
and day. The wood sorrel resembles
clover, each leaf having three heart
shaped lobes connected to the stalk by
a slender stem. Now in the anytime
they are spread out just as are the clover
leaves, but watch them as night comes
on, and you will notice a gradual closing
up. Finally each leaf will be found to
have completely closed and fallen down,
resting on the foot stalk.
"The interesting feature of this is to
notico how at certain times the move
ment commences. Thus at about half
past five the leaves will be seen to sink
or close rapidly, and two hours later are
entirely shut, opening about the
tame time in the morning. This
can be observed by keeping plants
In pots. In one of his experiments Dar
win observed one of these plants elevate
ind depress its leaves four times in one
day napping, we might say. The plant
known as the Blimbling, or scientifically,
Axerrhoa bilimbi, a distant relative of the
wood sorrel, is interesting' from the fact
that it not only goes to sleep, but actually
appears to have certain movements dur
ing the day time. If you watch it, you
will notice that all at once a leaf will
elevate or depress itself spontaneously,
and when hundreds of the leaves do this
at the same time the effect is very
striking. " When first observed it was
thought that it was the wind; but exami
nation showed that the tree was actually
waving its leaves, so to Bpeak. As night
approaches all the leaves hang down or
become depressed. Beside these move
ments at night and morning, many plants
have motions more or less dependent
upon the weather, and many curious de
vices have been suggested to utilize them
ia clocks, barometers, and o on. On
this principle a botanical clock has been
ruado, and that it is possible ia evident
from the fact that there is not an hour
in the day but what some plant
blooms; thus the purple convolvulus
blooms at 2 a. m. ; the fi'or de notte at 3
or 4; the goats' beard at 4; yellow arctic
poppy at 5; tho nipplewort at 0; sow
thistle at 7; nolana at 0; red sandwort
at 10; fig marigold nt 11 ; and so on, and
by thus arranging these you surely have
a time-piece of nature.
"A. very fair indicator can be made of
the little capsules of Messcmbryanthe
mum tripolium by placing them in a
dish of water. If rain is threatened, the
seed vessel opens like a star, closing
again when the shower is over; and a
number of plants have the same property.
"Perhaps," said tho botanical artist,
'there is nothing that btrikes one so re
markably as the rapid growth of some
plants. I remember seeing a plant in
Florida that appeared so suddenly by
my window thut I spoke to my hobt
about it, and remarked that ho had been
plantibg; but ho averred that it had
grown up in tho night at least a foot. It
seemed a little too much like Jack1 and
the bean-stalk, but I measured the plant
and was finally convinced. This is
nothing, however, to the growth of
some bamboos, that actually lengthen
three leet in twenty-four hours.
In fact, the facts of botanical science
are as remarkable as any imagination
would have them, and, curiously enough.
some of the old f-tories of plant wonders
that were considered faUes have been
thou n to be founded on fact. In ji book
published a century or more ago thore is
a story of a rain tree of South America,
from whose branches even in the dryest
weather there poured a shower of water.
Of course, this was considered a fable
but within n few years a botanist bus
discovered rwh a tree, and now tho fact
is well established. The scientific name
of the tree is l'ithecolobium Human, and
it is common in the eastern Peruvian
Andes. In the dryest days, when the
vtfitUtioa about is withered and burnt,
there drips from the leaves or branches a
continuous rain, so that the ground be
neath is kept in a swampy condition all
tho time. It is said that when the riverf
are dry thi remarkable tree gives out
tho most rnin." Xem York Evening Pott.
Rowinir a (Jondola.
A letter from Venice to the Memphis
Aralanclut has tho following: It was the
first evening I was in a gondola, and,
after admiring tho skill and easo with
which the gondolier manipulated his
oar, I was struck with the idea of at
tempting the feat myself. Nothing
looked easier than to imitate that swarthy
Italian, to stand up on tho rear end of
the gondola, and dip tho oar in and out
of the water.
"You look tired," I said to the gon
dolier; "if you like you may rest awhile
and I will row for you."
Had I offered to stand on my head
and walk to Jlilan the man could not
have looked more astonished.
"You. sitnorc?" ho exclaimed; "why,
you couldn:t even learn to stand up here
under two months."
"Pooh," said I, "I have rowed boats
on tho Mississippi from Memphis as fm
as Ilopclield. Do you think I don't
know how to work tills lumbering thing
on the 'smoother waters of Venice i"
Tho gondolier smiled a very unsatis
factory smile.
"Ah, buono good signore. 1 trine
you where you have nice swim. Signore,
you take clothes oil."
1 his was consoling advice to a conu-
dent oarsman, not very flattering to my
pride, still I thought I might as well
follow his advice; so he slowly paddled
mo over to the lagoons between the cem
etery and Muran's. I divested myself of
all clothing and prepared for a first les
son in tho Venetian style ot gondolier
ing. As I have said, it looks to be tho
easiest thing in the world. The gondo
lier stands at tho extreme end of the
long, slim boat, and tho oar rests in an
oar lock that stands up from the deck
a foot or eighteen inches. There is noth
ing to hold the oar in tho lock, but this
I did not notice until I tried it myself.
It stayed thero so quietly and pleasant
ly as long as tho Italian was at tho stern
that the idea never entered into my head
but that it belong there and stayed of
its own accord. Woful mistake.
I had scarcely taken position on the
stern of the boat and made my first stroke
when the oar flew out of that lock in a
miraculous manner, that I am to this
minute unable to uiuleitand. and I flew
out of that boat into the water. Then
it was that I thanked the gondolier for
his timely warning and advice. Tho
knapsack traveler does not carry with
him a very extensive wardrobe, mid had
I fallen into the water with my clothing
on I would have been in a very bad
plight indeed. As it was, I swam around
awhile, had. a good bath, then climbed
into the gondola, and tried it over again,
and with the samo result. A third and
fourth attempt proved no more success
ful, and finally I came to the conclusion
that gondolicring was not as easy as it
looked, and so dressed myself and
turned tho oar over to the proper hands.
Sleeping With the Head to the North.
It is far from a modern idea that the
position of tho body in sleep may be
beneficial or otherwise. The idea is
centuries old. Nor is tho belief confined
to Christian lands. The Hindus relig
iously believe that to sleep with the head
to the north will lengthen one s days;
to the south will shorten them; to the
east will bring riches; to the west will
bring a change of scene.
Among millions of people there is a
notion that the head in sleep should al
ways be to the north and the feet to the
south. In Germany this is more firmly
believed than anywhere else. A cele
brated old German professor, who died
a few years ago at the ago of ninety
eight years, declared in his will that he
had attained to his unusually long lifo
mainly because of his having always
taken this position at night. A Scotch
physician has recently written an nrti
cle on the subject, lie says that when
other means, of quieting sick children
have failed he has turned their heads to
the north, and nine times out of ten
sleep has soon followed, (skeptical onm
have asked why the doctor did not try
this never failing remedy in the first
place). There are scores of other au
thorities to the tame effect. Many peo
ple account for the supposed benefits of
sleeping ia this position by the claim
that sleep is easier with the head toward
the north. They all have something to
say about the magnetic currents of the
earth, of which the wbest philosophers
declare they have no certain knowledge.
If the healthfulness of the particular
position tney recommend is a lact, still
the explanations are mere guess work.
nether it is a luct or not, uny one can
easily decido for himself; but tho ma
jority of people, trying for the first time
the experiment, believe it to bo "all hum
bug," and tho trial only confirms them in
this opinion. Or there is a disposition
to find it true, which influences their
judgment. Some persons who have tried
the experiment with an earnest purpose
to get at the truth, think thero is noth
ing in the theory; but even if this be so,
it is as harmless a fancy as one could in
dulge in.
A Marine Monster.
A monster devil fish has been caught
in the Gulf of Mexico, off Galveston,
Texas. These creatures are rarely seen
in the neighborhood, but lately a shoal
came in shore, and after much trouble
one was caught in a seine. It had to be
dragged ashore by horses, as it weighed
fully two tons. The catch proved to be
a true specimen of the "Cephaloptra
Valapyrus," tho vampire of the ocean,
and as it iay dead on the beach it exact
ly resembled an enormous bat or vam
pire. The fish was sixteen feet wide
from the extreme edge of tho pectoral
fins and fourteen feet long, while the
mouth was four feet wide, and was pro
tected on each side by curious append
ages like horns, with which it sei.ed its
prey.
The llollan Harp.
An .T.olian harp is an instrument so
simple in construction that any boy, un
skilled in the use of tools, can make one.
Stretch in parallel lines, over a box of
thin deal, catgut or wire strings. The
box is to have sounding holes cut in the
top. The strings being tuned ia unison,
the instrument is placed in a curreut ol
air, and harmony is produced.

A Do-jf Fanning the Baby.
Dog stories are always in order, pro
vided they are true. A gentleman in one
of tho suburban wards owned a tine
specimen of tho spaniel breed, which is
very fond of children, and when any little
ones visit bis master's house constitutes
himself their companion, p'aymato and
guardian. A few days ngo a lady with
an infant (visited tho gentleman, and in
the course of the day the child was laid
on a pillow on the iloor to amuse itself
for a time. The dog took his place near
the little one, as usual. The day was
hot and the flies bad, aud they made the
baby the target of frequent attacks.
This rendered her restless. Doggie
watched her for a few minutes, aud then,
walking close up, with his nose or paw
drove uway every fly as soon as it lit ou
the baby's face, and did it so gently, too,
as not to disturb her in the least. The
dog's actions attracted the attention of
the mother and others, who were filled
with astonishment ut his thoughtful
kindness. This story has the merit of
truth. PitUburg Chronicle.

In the life of a medical man of large
and influential practice, there must be
many and varying episodes, but there are
few adventures that can surpass in hor
ror the one recently experienced by Dr.
Morrison at Paris. A man of fine man
ners and appearanco was introduced into
his consulting-room, who immediately
accosted the medical roan with this
startling declaration: "For years past
I have been suffering tho most intense
ngony from disease of the lungs; I havo
tried every treatment, but in vain, I
am informed that tho liver cut from tho
yet warm human frnmo will effect a cer
tain cure, and I have chosen you as the
victim."
The doctor gasped with terror as he
saw the maniac ndvanco toward him with
a sharp stillctto in his hand, but in
stantly recovering his presence of mind,
he replied with cool emphasis: "You
are quite right, my friend, but in order
to effect a cure tho organ must be in a
sound stnto; now I have suffered for
years with a liver complaint, but I can
introduce you to a brother-practitioner
of mine upon whom you can mako the
experiment." Tho madman consented,
and in a few moments ho was secured
and conducted to an insane asylum. His
name is Hichl, a native of Hanover, oc
cupying a wealthy position in society.
Dr. Morrison was so affected by the scene
that ho was stricken down with an at
tack of apoplexy ou tho same night.
