A DANGEROUS PLANT.
It Sucks the ltlood of Whatever Comes fn
Contact with It.
Leroy Dunstnn, tlje well known natu
ralist of this city, who has recently re
turned from Central America, where he
had spent nearly two years in the study
of the flora and fauna of the country,
relates the finding of a singular growth
in one of the swamps about the great
lakes of Nicaragua.
He was engaged in hunting for botan
ical and entomological specimens in this
swamp, which is known as San Sebas
tian's, when he heard his dog cry out as
if in agony from a distance. Running to
the spot from which the animal's cries
came. Mr. Dunstan found him enveloped
in a perfect network of what seemed to
be a tine, ropelike tissue of roots or fibers,
the nature of which was unknown to
him.
The plant or vine seemed composed en
tirely of bare, interlacing steins, resem
bling moro than anything else the
branches of the weeping willow denuded
of all foliage, but of a dark, nearly black
hue, and covered with a thick, viscid
gum that exuded from the pores. Draw
ing his knife, Mr. Dunstnn endeavored
to cut the animal free, but it was only
with the greatest difficulty that he suc
ceeded in severing the fleshy, muscular
fiber. To his horror and amazement the
naturalist then saw that the dog's body
was covored with blood, while his hair
less skin appeared to have been actually
sucked or puckered in spots, and the ani
mal staggered as if from weakness and
exhaustion.
In cutting the vine the twigs curled
like living, sinuous fingers about Mr.
Dunstan's hand, and it required no slight
force to free the member from its cling
ing grasp, which left tho flesh red and
blistered. The gum exuding from tho
vine was of a grayish dark tinge, re
markably adhesive and of a disagreeable
animal odor, very powerful and nauseat
ing to inhale.
The native servants who accompanied
Mr. Dunstan manifested the greatest
horror of the vine, which they call la
sagenas de diable, the devil's seine or
snare, and were full of storiesof its death
dealing powers.
One af these stories was of an English
man residing in Managua, who, while
hunting in the swamp a few years ago,
lay down beneath a tree where a largo
and powerful specimen of this singular
plant was growing, and, inadvertently
falling asleep, awoke to find himself en
veloped in its web, and in spite of every
effort made to extricate him, perished in
its deadlv embrace.
Another story was of an escaped con
vict who had hidden in the swamp,
whose bones had been found in tho folds
of the sagenas only a short time before
Mr. Dunstan's visit. These stories, re
markable as they seem, are firmly be
lieved in by the people, but the only
three specimens which Mr. Dunstan was
able to find were all small ones, though
the meshes of the largest would prob
ably, if extended in a straight line,
measure nearly, if not quite, 100 feet.
He was able to discover very littlo about
the nature of the plant, owing to tho dif
ficulty of handling it, for its grasp can
only be torn away with loss of skin and
even of flesh, but, so near as Mr. Dunstan
could ascertain, its power of suction is
contained in a number of infinitesimal
mouths or little suckers, which, ordina
rily closed, open for tho reception of
food.
The gum exuded seems to serve the
two fold purposo of increasing its ten
acity and overcoming a victim by its
sickening odor. The plant is found only
in low, wet places, and usually beneath
a large tree, and while dormant seems
only a network of dry, dead vines cov
ering the black earth for several feet,
but coming into contact with anything
will instantly begin to twist and twine
upward in a horrible, life like manner,
breaking out with the gum like substance
spoken of before, and enwrap the object
with a celerity almost incredible.
If the substance is animal tho blood is
drawn off and the carcass or refuse then
dropped. A lump of raw meat being
thrown if, in the short time of five min
utes the blood will be thoroughly drunk
up and the mass thrown aside. Its vo
racity is almost beyond belief, it devour
ing at one time over ten pounds of meat,
though it maybe deprived of all food for
weeks without any apparent loss of vi
tality. Mr. Dunstan attempted to bring
away a root of the sagenas, but it died
during his return voyage, growing so
foul with a strong odor of real animal
corruption that he was obliged to get rid
of it.—New Orleans Cor. Atlanta Consti
tution.
No Snake*, but MoKquitoen.
There are no snakes in Alaska, per
haps, because no snakes would live there.
The only frog ever discovered by ex
plorers there was found by my own
party some years ago. Probably, how
ever, there is no part of the world where
mosquitoes are more dreadful than in
Alaska. The soil is of a soft, spongy
character that holds water for days after
a rain, and the insects are bred out of it
in such swarms that it is hardly possible
for man or any other animal to exist
among them. They attack the moose
with such ferocity as to drive the beasts
into the rivers, where the natives attack
them with knives. Bears and reindeer
are plentiful. Perhaps the worst part of
Alaska is that to the northwest, south of
the Yukon river—crossed but once by a
party of explorers, who nearly starved
to death.—Washington Star.
Simple.
It is a fortunate boy that has an older
brother to give hint the benefit of his
longer experience. One of our exchanges
cites an illustrative example:
"Don't sleep with your mouth open in
that way," said Fred to his younger
brother, as the daylight began to peer
into the bed chamber. "You should
breathe through your nose."
"Yes, but I don't know when my
mouth is open. What do you do when
you wake up and find your mouth open?"
"What do I do?" answered Fred, de
risively. "Why, I get up and shut itl"
