A Lovely Little Seed,

A friend has kindly sent to us what
appears to be seed of some kind, and
which possesses characteristics of a pc
culiar interesting nature. This seed held
in the hand or placed ON book or table
appears to be endowed with life, and at
once proceeds to move about, tumble
over, and jump from one side to the
other. Held between the fingers, a
distinct, intermitting throb is felt
proceeding from the interior; and when
placed close to the ear, this throb or
knocking becomes audible, and as many
as sixty distinct knocks have been heard
in forty seconds. The force Of these
mysterious blows given in the interior
is surprising; they jar the whole struct-
ure of the seed and knock it about in
a lively way when placed in a free
position. The development of pro-
portional force inside of Barnum's ele-
phant Jumbo would render it unsafe
for any one to occupy a position very
near him. The sze of the sesd is that Of
afourth part of pea divided longitud-
inally, and it almost exactly resembles
such a fragment of dried pea.
The donor of the seed states that il
came from Mexico, and is called the
Mexican bean. Doubtless others have
seen this curious seed and can explain
the causes of its strange antics, but we
cannot. The force is not dependent
upon heat or its absence, for it moves
with equal facility upon the surface of
dry ice and warm plate; neither has
the presence of moisture anything to
do with it. and light or darkness is not
a disturbing agent.-Boston Journal

How Judge Davis Won a Race,

while he was dining one day at
WUrmley's with some friends, among
whom was Mr.. EvartS, the conversa-

foot-races. Mr.. Evarts, with view
to one of his sarcastic jests, turted to
the great trunk alongsi side of him, from
which he himself may lie supposed to
have been whitfield off as silver, and
suggested that such sports were some
thing entirely out of his line. We'll

Strange Stones.

In the sand of the Ergent noun
tains at Sarepta, Asiatic Russia, are
found some curious stones. They have
round, cylindrical shaped forms and
range in size from Jumps smaller than
walnuts to masses of mora than four
teen inches in length and from two to
seven inches in thickness. Each of the
cylindrical stones-which are often
forked and root-like in appearance-is
found to contain a brown kernel with
white spot in the center. These sin
gular formations have perplexed many
persons, including Alexander Hum
boldt, who, while declaring the stones
to be of recent date, could not explain
their origin. Alexander Becker now
believes that he can with certainty as
sert that they have been produced
around the roots of plants containing
milky juice. Several such plants grow
abundantly in the white sand. The
long roots are lacerated by insects, and
the milky fluid flows continually from
the wounds, sticking the chalky sand
firmly around the roots. In time the
roots die and disappear, leaving in
the places White-often hollow ker-
nels, together with the ibrtwl color of
the root-cortex. The round and target
shaped stoIes-onIy few of which have
brown kernel-lnay have formed
where the milky fluid ran away into
the sand.

against the tearing recoil Of the sweep

shawls toward the outstretched arms
of the perishing men and dragged them
both on TO the rocks. The men saved

The soldiers threw something into the

they did not go near enough to allow
