A Nevada farm boasts rare curiosity in specimen of the Australian 'angry tree." It is now, the World says, eight feet high. When the sun sets it's leaves fold together and the ends of the tender twigs coil up like pigstail. If the twigs are handled the leaves move uneasily for a minute or more. A singular thing con- eerning the tree was it's apparent resent ment on being removed from pot, in which it had matured, into a much larger pot. Hardly had it been placed in it's new quarters before the leaves began to stand up in all directions, like the hair on an angry cat, and soon the whole plant was in quiver. At the same time itgave an odor most pungent and sickening, re- sembling the odor given off by rattle snakes and other kinds of snakes when leased. So strong and offensive was this smell that it had to be removed from the house &om several days.

A prominent church bookseller in New York says that the sale of the revised New Testament Is now so small as scarce y to be worth mentioning. When pub @ curiosity was satisfied the sale stopped IS if by magic. Rev. Dr. Philip Schaff chairman or the revision committee, has ,ald "a reaction was certain to come. , Whatever the whole body of scholars and critics may think of the propriety of sub- ,Ituting the revised for the authorized ditlon, they agree, Dr. Schaf says, iu considering the revlsien work of value, i only as a commentary. Whenever the :xact meaning of a passage is wanted, and tt Is desired to get as near the Greek as ne English language permits, all sehol- ITS refer to the revised version. Criti- lsm, has had some effect upon the public s>tlmate of the work, and another obata- lie to it's pubic acceptance is that the york has, as yet, no sanction of authority. the convention of Canterbury will not ,ass upon 1t till the revislons of both Tes- aments are in shed, and may reject both,
 # recamnlt them for further revlsloll. Iu the revised, New Testament several ilnured thOusahds of Collars were invest d Ill the issue of about thirty different edltlons, and the sudden stop to the sale vas serious blow to the publisher, 50 tnat very few American houses will speud heir money ln Issuing editions of the Old Testament revision when 1t Is ready for he press.
