FAffiQirAY’S QUEER PLANT.
An Orehld That Tskss Its Drinks
Through a Fssding Tubs.
What is probably the most ex
traordinary plant ever discovered
grows in Paraguay. It is an orchid
that takes a drink whenever it feels
thirsty by letting down a tube into
water, the tube when not in use
being coiled up on top of the plant.
The leaves are sharp, lancehead
shaped, growing all, round the root
and radiating from it. From the
center of the plant hangs a long
stem, about one-thirty-second of an
inch thick, the lower end of which
lies in the water to a depth of about
four inches. When touched the
center stem gradually contracts
and convulsively rolls itself up.
But more surprising yet is the
object and construction of this
stem. On close examination and
dissection it has been found that it
is a long, slender, Hat tube, cellular
in construction, open at the outer
end and connected at the inner end
to the roots of a series of hairlike
tubes.
When the plant is in water this
tube will gradually unwind till
it dips into the water. Then it
slowly coils i;ound and winds up,
carrying with it the amount :of wa
ter that part of the tube which lias
been immersed contains until the
final coil is taken, when the water is
emptied direct into the roots of the
plant". The coil remains in this po
sition until the plant requires more
I water. Should the plant, however,
I be touched while the tube is ex
tended the coiling is more rapid.
Many of these plants are spread
directly over the water or over
where the water has been. In the
latter case it is almost pitiful to see
how this tube will work its way
over the ground in search of water.
Not Certain About That.
Mrs. Verdigris was enumerating
her, various ailments. “I haven’t
kept track of all of ’em,” she said,
“but one of the first things 1 had
was the lumbago in the small of
my back. Then l had the influenzy
awful bad. The next thing was the
rheumatiz. Since then I’ve had
neuralgy, nervous headache, sore
throat, indigestion, a breaking out
on my skin and ever so many other
pesky little troubles that I can’t re
member.”
“It would be an interesting list,”
said her sympathizing neighbor.
“Why didn’t you take an inven
tory ?”
“I’m not certain but what 1 did,”
answer.ed Mrs. Verdigris. “I took
ever so many things. I’ll try it if
you think it’d help me, but unless
it’s very mild I just know it won’t
stay on mv stummick.”—Youth’s
Companion.
Old Age le Selfish.
A lady residing in a quiet village
in Suffolk used to take an interest
in a very aged couple who were
spinning out the last thread of life
in “Darby and .loan” fashion, seat
ed on either side of their fireplace.
She often paid them a visit to cheer
them up. The old man had been
ailing, and at last a day came when
the visitor found only one chair
occupied. Darby was not in his
usual place.
“Where is your husband?”
“Well, mum, he be gone at last.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry! That is very
sad for you,” said the lady, seeking
to find words of consolation.
“Yes, mum, it be sad,” replied
the old woman, “but, then, you see,
he were fearfully in the way of the
oven.”—Pearson’s Weekly.
It Wai Found.
A country minister driving to
church with his new overcoat on
the seat behind him, lost the coat
en route and announced his loss
from the pulpit.
“Dearly beloved,” he said, “I met
with a sad loss this morning. Some
where on the River road, while
driving to church, I lost my fine,
new, silk lined overcoat. If any of
you find it, I hope you’ll bring it
to the parsonage.’’
“It’s found, doctor,” said a voice
frpin the back of the church.
“Bless you, my friend! Heaven
bless you!” said the minister, beam
ing on the speaker gratefully.
“It’s found, sir!” continued the
voice. “I came along the River
road just after you, and it wasn’t
there.”
Old Time Mountebank!.
Coryat, describing the mounte
bnnks he saw in Venice in the sev
enteenth century, who were adepts
in fhe art of advertising, speaks of
the “oration to the audience of half
an hour long, wherein he doth most
hyperbolienlly extol the virtues of
hig drugs and confections, though
many of them ar.e very counterfeit
and false.” And the author of a
“Tour Through England” (1723)
writes of a mountebank he saw in
Winchester: “He cures all diseases
and sells his packets for sixpence
apiece. * * * It is a prodigy how
so wise a people as the English are
gulled by such pickpockets.”
OUITSUN IS NOT VERY HOT.
Comp»r*d-Wfth Som* Star* It Haa a
Rathar Low Tomparatur*.
Compared with iorae other stars,
our sun is rather cool. Recent
measurements show that there is
at least one star with a temperature
eighty times ns great. In fact, our
sun ranks low among the brilliant
stars. Yet the heat given off by.
our sun hourly has been reckoned
as equal to burning a layer of coal
twenty feet thick over the sun’s en
tire surface—making our coal trust
seem like a puny affair, and its
prosecution about on a par with
pinching a baby. Measurements
made in Germany are described in
Cosmos by a writer who tells us
that Dr. Rosenberg of the Oster
berg observatory at Tubingen, Wurt
tembei;g, studied photographically,
from 1907 to 1909, the spectra of
the seventy most brilliant stars of
the northern hemisphere, whose
brightness is between the first and
third magnitudes, to determine how
differences of intensities are dis
tributed in their spectra. By sys
tematic comparison with the spec
trum of the sun he has deduced the
effective temperature of these 6tars.
According to these investigations,
the hottest star among those con
sidered is Gamma of the constella
tion Pegasus, of the magnitude
2.87, according to the Harvard pho
tometric classification, whose tem
perature reaches the astonishing
figure of 400,000 degrees C., and
the coldest is Alpha Tauri or Aldeb
aran (magnitude 1.0G), with only
2,150 degrees, a temperature lower
than may be reached in our terres
trial laboratories!
The temperature at the top ol
Dr. Ilosenberg's scale is quite ex
ceptional, for the next in order falls
to 50,000 degrees, that of the star
Gamma of Cassiopeia. On the other
hand, at the lower end of the scale
we find a dozen stellar bodies whose
temperature is only equal to or low
er than that of the electric arc.
It should be added that on this
scale the sun, whose spectrum has
served as a basis of investigation
and comparison for these calcula
tions, occupies a place near that of
Capella, with a temperature of
4,950 degrees C.—Translation in
Literary Digest.
The Burglar.
A burgiar was one night engaged
in the pleasing occupation of stow
ing a good haul of swag in his bag
when he was startled by a touch
upon his shoulder, and, turning his
head, he beheld a venerable, mild
eyed clergyman gazing sadly at him.
“Oh, my brother,” groaned the
reverend gentleman, “wouldst thou
rob me? Turn, I beseech you—
turn from thy evil ways. Return
those stolen goods and depart in
peace, for I am merciful and for
give. Begone!”
Ami me burglar, only 100 inam;
| ful at not being given into the eus
i todv ol' the police, obeyed and slunk
swiftly off.
Then the good old man carefully
J and quietly packed the swag into
another hag and walked softly (so
as not to disturb the slumber of the
inmates) out of the house and away
into the silent night. For he, too,
was a burglar.
Biamarck and the Eggs.
After the battle of Sedan the old
Emperor William supped off a piece
of dry bread, while he sat on a lad
der that was supported on one side
by a barrel and on the other by the
body of a dead horse.
Bismarck used to delight to re
late that when he was foraging
with two companions in an almost
deserted village during the Franco
Prussian war he came upon a man
from whom he got five eggs. Un
able to divide the five equally
among three, he swallowed two.
Then, calling his companions, he
shared the three remaining eggs
with them—a truly Bismarckian
idea of an equable division, says
the writer who describes the inci
dent.
Gave Good Reaaona.
General Nelson A. Miles during
active ser.vice one day received a
telegram from a subordinate who
was on a furlough, but was expect
ed back that day. The dispatch
read:
“Sorry, but cannot report today
as expected owing to unavoidable
circumstances.”
The tone of the message did not
please the general, and he wired
back, “Report at once or give rea
sons.”
Back tame the answer from a
hospital: “Train off, can’t ride; legs
off, can’t walk.” — Ladies’ Home
Journal.
Unfortunate Candor.
“Once a friend of mine and I
agreed that it would be helpful for
ench of us to tell the other his
faults.”
“How did it work ?”
“We haven’t spoken, for nine
veers.”—Chicago Reword.
