A HOME A HEAP OF ASHES.
Il. A. Paris Residence at Reynolds De-
6troved by Fire.

REYNOLDS, GA, Nov. 29.-Under the
auspices of the Ladies' Church Aid Society,
a festival was held at the warehouse of
Griffith & Frederick last night, for the ben
eft of the Methodist church. The net pro-
ceeds amounted to $S3.
While the festival was in progress, fire
broke out in the residence Of Mr.. H. A.
Paris. Before it was discovered the flames
were beyond control, and all efforts to save
the structure were unavailing. The bucket
brigade did good work, however, in saving
the barn and stables and other outhouses.
The loss was about $4,000. The insurance

LARGEST FLOWER IN THE WORLD.
1t is as Big as Carriage Wheel and
is Found on ,Jhe Philippine Group.
E,.oy, tho Gardener

Is round on tine Fnlllpplne Group.
From the Gardener.
Insthe farthest southeastern island of the
Philippine group, Mindinao, upon one of its
mountains Parag, in the neighborhood of
the highest peak on the island, the volcano
Apo, party of botanical and ethnographi-
cal explorers found recently, at the height
of 2, 500 feet above the sea level, a colossal
flower. The discoverer, DR.. Alexan der
Schadenberg, could scarcely believe his
eyes when he saw, amid the low-growi ng
bushes, the immense buds of this flower,
like gigantic brown cabbage heads. But he
was still more astonished when he found a
specimen in full bloom, five-petaled flower
nearly a yard in diameter-as large as a
carriage wheel, in fact. This enormous
blossom was borne on a sort OF vine creep
ing on the ground. The native who accom-
panied DR.. Schadenberg called it bolo.
The party had no scale by which the
weight of the flower could be ascertained
but they improvised a swinging scale.
using their boxes and specimens as weights.
Weighing these when opportunity served,
it was found that a single flower weighed
over twenty-five pounds. 1t was impossi-
BILE to transport the fresh flower, so the
travellers photographed it and dried a
number of its leaves by the heat of a fire.
DIR. Schadenberg then sent the photographs
and dried specimens to the royal botanical
gardens, Breslau, where the learned director
Immediately recognized it as species of
ratfiesia, plant formerly discovered in
Sumatra, aud named after the English
governor, Sir Stamford Raffies. The new
flower was accordingly named raffl asia
schadenbergia.
The five petals of this immense flower are
oval and creamy white, and grow around a
center filled with countless long violet-hued
stamens. thicker and longer in tie fertile
flower than in the infertile.

A Colossal Blossom.


In the farthest southeastern island of the
philippine group. Mundane, upon one of its
mountains, Parag,in the neighborhood of the
highest peak in the island, the volcano Apo.
a party of botanical and ethnographical ex-
plorers found recently, at the height of $500
feet above the sea level, a colossal flower.
The discoverer, DIR. Alexander Schodenberg.
could scarcely believe his eyes when he saw
amid the low-growing bushes the immense
buds of this flower, like gigantic brown cab
bage heads. But he was still more astonish-
ed when he found specimen in full bloom,
eter-as large as a carriage wheel, in fact,
ms enormous blossom was borne on sort
vine creeping on the ground 1t was known
by the native who accompanied DIR. Scho-
dsnberg, who called it boo. The party had
