The WOudrOus Weather Plant
From the Pail Mall Gsxstte.
That remarkable specimen Of the vegetable
world, the "weather plant" continues 10 excite
considerable interest here. Men OF science. who
on It's nrst discovery were unwilling to express an
opinion on It's prognosticating virtues, now agree
after extensive experiments, that the shrub is In
truth prophetic. Thirty-two thousand trials made
during the last three years tend prove It's infa
bility. The plant itself Is a legume, commonly
called the "Paternoster-pea," but known In botany
as the Abrus Peregtnua IL Is q native OF Corsica
and Tunia Its leaf and twtg resemble those Of
the acacia. The more delicate leaves OF fts upper
branches forteu the state OF the weather forty.
eight hours In advance, while ttslower and harder
leaves Indicated all atmospheric changes three
days beforehand. The indications consist in
change in the position OF the leaves and In the rno
