Where He Was From.

When Thomas Fl. Benton was on his
way to his first seat in Congress, he,
with large number of other members,
stopped at wayside inn for relay of
stage horses-it being before the days
of railways. The members began tell
ing from whence they came, and ex-
changing anecdotes about their States.
Young Benton was silent during all
the evening. Just before they began
to retire, some one asked Benton why
he didn't talk. He said he didn't know
much, and had nothing to talk about
This caused laugh, and an old mem
Der asked him where he was from, and
if he was ashamed of his State.
NO" answered young Benton; "but

where am from"

well, then, I'm from Arkansas.
Now laugh, everyone of you blank
fools"
1t is needless to say they all laughed,
but young Benton was voted to be the
lion of the assembly from then on. -

Some years ago Russian observer
discovered in the blood of birds living
organisms strongly resembling those
existing in the blood of persons
attacked by malarial fever. 1t has
since been found that these minute
parasites are much more common than
was at first suspected. Cold-blooded
animals are especially liable to them,
and the carnivora more so than other
warm-blooded animals; but it is only
rarely that they seem to cause incon-
venience, and in only four or five out
of three hundred birds examined did
death result in consequence of LESSONS
produced by the parasites. In those
cases the symptoms were identical
with those observed in victims of ma
larial fever.

ahortsighted Children.

A careful observation of some three
hundred cases of short sightedness in
children, conducted by Professor Fors-
ter, director of the University Ophthal-
mic Clinic of B.cs'au, led him to con
clude that too tight collars were in a
large number of cases responsible for
the trouble. He found the parents suf-
fering from chronic complaint brought
on by disturbance in the regular and
normal flow of blood, which he traced
to the wearing of collars that were not
sufficiently locsa, and parents and
teachers were cautioned to guard against
Continuing their use. The warming
may b. servicaable in similar cases

In the farthest south eastern island
of the Philippine Group Mindinao, upon
one of its mountains, Parag, in the
neighborhood of the highest peak on
the island, the volcano Apa, party Of
botanical and ethnographical explorers
recently found, at the height of 2,50C
feet above the sea level, O. colossal flower.
The discoverer, DR.. Alexander Schaden-
berg, could hardly believe his eyes
when he saw, among the low growing
bushes, the immense buds of this flower,
like gigantic brown cabbage heads.
But he was still mole astonished when
he found specimen in full bloom, q
five retalcd flower nearly yard in
diameter-as large as q carriage-wheel,
in fact. This enormous blossom was
borne on sort of vine creeping on the
ground. The native who accompanied
DIR. Schadenberg called it bolo.
The party had no scale by which the
weight of the flower could be ascertaired
but they improvised swing scale, Usin ],
their boxes and specimens as W. lights.
Weighing these when oppor I'm ty
served, it was found that single hover
weighed over twenty-five poupds. 1t
was impossible to transport the fresh
flower, SO the travellers photographed it
and dried number of its leaves by the
heat of fire. DR.. Schadenbarg then
sent the photographs and dried speci-
mems to the Royal Botanical Gardens,
Breslau, where the learned director i'm
mediately recognized it as species of
Raffiesia, o plant formerly discovered in
Sumatra, and named after the English
Governor, Sir Stamford Battles The
new flower was accordingly named Raj
fiesta Schadenbergia.
The five petals of this immense flower
are oval and creamy white, and grow
around u centre filled with countless
long violet-hued stamens; thicker and
longer in the fertile flower than in the
infertile.
