Not a Bad Test of Weight.

San Francisco Wasp.
A plumber and an upholsterer
were recently engaged in fitting up a
fashionable residence in Van Ness
ave-, and got into discussion as to
which was the heavier, pound Of
lead or pound of feathers.
"I'll bet you four bits that | can
prove to you that a pound of lead is
heavier than a pound of feathers"
said the plumber.
"I'll take that bet" said the up
holsterer.
The plumber cut off piece of lead
pipe and pared it down until it
weighed sixteen ounces. Then he got
from the upholsterer the same weight
in feathers.
"Now," said the plumber, holding
the lump Of lead in his right hand
and the bag of feathers in his left
hand, "let me drop the lead on your
left foot and the feathers on your
right, and if / do not prove that the
lead is the heavier I'll pay four bits. "
The man of feathers would not
consent to the trial, but paid for the
whiskey.

WHY PRIMROsEs BLOOM AT NIGHT.
Adapting Themselves to the Crepuscular
Moths and Other Insects.


". II. Gibson IN Hdrper's Magazine.
Our evening primrose does not bloom
in the dark hours for mere sentiment
and moonshine, but from motive that
lies much nearer her heart. From the
first moment of her wooing welcome she
listens for murmuring wings, and awaits
that supreme fulilment anticipated from
her infant bud. For 1t win almost in
variably be found that those blossoms
which open in the twilight have
adapted themselves to the crepus-
cular moths and other nocturnal
insects. This finds striking illustration
in the instance of many long tubular
shaped night-blooming flowers like
the honeysuckle and various orchids,
whose nectar is beyond the reach of any
insect except the night-fying hawkmoth.
1t is true that in other less deep Nocturnal
flowers the sweets could be reached by
butterflies or bees during the day if the
blossoms remained open, but the
night murmurrers receive the first
fresh invitation, which, If met, will
leave but wilted, half-hearted blossom
to greet the slipper Of the sunshine This
beautiful expectancy of the flower de-
termines the limit of its bloom. Thus,
in the event of rain or other causes pre-
ventive of insect visits, the evening
primrose will remain open for the but
terflies during the following day, when
otherwise it would have dropped per-
ceptibly, and extended but a listless
welcome. l have seen this fact
strikingly illustrated In spray of noun
tain-laurel, whose blossoms fingered in
expectancy nearly week in my
paror, when the flowers on the
parent shrub in the woods had
fallen several days before, their mission
having been fulfilled. In the house
specimens the radiating stamens re-
manned in their pockets in the side of the
blossom cup, and seemed to brace the
corolla upon its receptacle. These sta
mems are naturally dependent upon in
sect agency for their release, and the
subsequent discharge of pollen, and
noticed that when this operation was ar
officially consumed the flower cup soon
dropped off or withered.
