those meetings to repay them for the no.

square and six feet deep. attached to

used in transferring buildings. and
when the tree was properly placed
upon it in an upright position it "a

Curiosities of Plant Life.

In some parts Of Nevada is 4 curious
plant called the ''Angry tree" 1t is

resembles the century plant. Its name
is due to its apparent veXatiOn at being
disturbed. When transplanted each
separate leaf stands up in a different
direction. like quilts on u pOrcupine or
hairs On the tail Ofan angry cat. At such
times it gives forth an unpleasant OdOr.
like that of a rattlesnake when teased,
and sometimes it is fully an hour be.
fore its leaves resume their natural
condition. Another curiosity in the
plant world is Il peculiar kind of weed
which grows i'm the Arkansas valley.
