Some interest has been excited of late
years by stories from Mexico that beans
grew there which jumped about like
living things. 1t was regarded as a mere
tale, but there proves to be more in the
story than was supposed, and in this it
is like many other strange stories, which
prove when investigated to have some
foundation in fact. In this case the
beans do not jump, in the active sense
OF the word, but are made to Jump pas
slvely by an insect inside.
we extract from the weddings of the
Acddemy of Sciences, of st. Louis. an
account of the mystery as investigated
and explained by Prof. Riley: Mr..
Riley exhibited certain seeds which DOS
sessed hidden power of jumping and
moving about on the table He stated
that he had recently received them from
Mr. G. w. Barnes, of San Diego, Cal,
ana that they are generally known by
The name of Mexican jumping seeds. !"
They are probably derived from tyicoc-
c1us euphorbidceous plant. Each of the
seeds measures about one-third of an
inch, and has two fiat sides, meeting at
an obtuse angle, and third broader,
convex side, and a medal carina. Ii
cut open each is found TO contain a
single fat, whitish worm, which has
eaten all the contents of the seed and
lined the she'll with delicate carpet of
silk.

4 Sick Well.

About year ago at Stockton, Cal, a
doctor in sinking an artesian well at the
depth of sixty feet came up something
which prevented further progress. A
drill lowered down rebounded
with hollow sound, As though striking
the roof of the house or the deck of a
vessel. He then put down a sand pump
and obtained a good stream of water
which brought up with it two brass nuts
of peculiar pattern. For several weeks
past the stream has brought up qusnti-
ties of tow or oakum and scales of cop
per. 1t is apparent that some sort of a
vessel is sunk there, though how it
came so far inland is mystery, and a
shaft will probably soon be sunk to ex-
plore the matter.
