A Floral Follower OF the Sun,

That the sunfower follows the sun
in its westward Journey is well known,
but when does it turn its face back
again to the east to greet the morning
sunP Mr.. C. A. White, of Washing
ton, in letter to Nature, relates an
incident which throws some light
upon the subject One evening. he
says, during short stay at a village
in Colorado, in the summer of 1881, |
took walk along the banks of long
irrigating ditch just as the sun was
setting. The wild variety of helianthus
ANUS grew abundantly there, and |
observed that the broad faces of all
the flowers were as usual in the clear
sunset, turned to the west. Returning
by the same path less than an hour
afterward, and Immediately after the
daylight was gone, found to my sur.
prise that much the greater part Of
these flowers had already turned their
faces full to the east in anticipation.
as it were, of the suns rising. They
had in that short time retraced the
semicircle, in the traversing of which,
with the sun, they had spent the whole
day. Both the day and night were
cloudless, and apparently no unusua
conditions existed that might have ex-
ceptionally affected the movements Of
the flowers.

uncanny and slimy reptiles With their hids-
ous heads and vrithing forms, are drawn forth
from their cages one after another, and al
lowed to coil themselves around the slender
of the grim monsters have entwined them
selves about the girl This performance
is indeed . thrilling one, and all eyes
were rivetted on the girl during its
enactment. The kats of the Lloyd brothers,
bareback riders, and Billy Holloway,
were simply marvellous and their
exhibition of equestrianism was an
excellent one. Charles Mccarthy in the
ring As clown furnished fun for the audience
without stint. The Japanese wonder gave =
daring exhibition of walking on tight wire.
ascending an inclined wire and after the
summit was reached. sliding to the ground
on his toes the entire length of the wire.
For this act he received round after round of
applause. George Jageniderter. the acrobatic
giant gave an individual performance which
was we'll worth the price of admission.
As Leonati king of the bicycle, made his
appearance preparatory to ascending the
spiral stairway all eyes were turned in his
direction. He made a start soon after
entering, and wound up the spiral column
with as much ease apparently as though he
had been propelling himself on a level floor.
A stentorian shout arose from the audience
as the daring performer reached the top. He
passed down the incline in the same scientific
manner and received storm of applause.
Next in order was fine exhibition given by
Adam Forepangh Jr.'s herd of elephants, the
pyramid of elephants, being the principal
feature. The great bulky, massive beasts
are trained SO skillfully that the slightest word
or gesture is understood by them. The in
telligence and understanding manifested by
them was simply remarkable. The mid air
feats OF the Sibions on the trapeze ended the
ring performance. The entertainments con
cluded with Roman standing and chariot
races, fiat and hurdle races for men and wom-
en- riders, elephant and camel races, etc.. all
of which were hotly contested and very ex-
citing. The horses engaged in these matches
are English thoroughbreds, and they are
mounted by most experienced riders.
In the evening the great tent was again
thronged with a multitude. The special
train from Brunswick brought large number
of people from that town and other points
along the line of the road. The performance
with but slight variations was identical with
that given in the afternoon.
One of the most obliging gentlemen con-
nected with the great exhibition is Mr..
Charles A. Davis, and to him the representa-
tives of the press are under many obligations
for his courteousness and many favors shown.

comes the time of trouble for the poor VIC
TINS of Hay Fever. For them flowers have

To snuff, sneeze and wipe their weeping eyes
for three or four successive months this is
their pitiable portion. Whether this form of
catarrh is called ay.fever, hay-cold, rose
cold or rose-fever, makes no difference (;
they suffer just the same. There is no help
