it, it appears to be not only a re-

plant. 1t was discovered on the per-
petually frozen ground of Siberia,
but Count AnthOSkOff has succeeded
in raising plants from seed placed in
a pot OfsnOW at st. Petersburg. The
bloom lasts only for single day, and
comes once in two years. A French
contemporary thus describes it; The
leaves are three in number, and each
about three inches in diameter. They
are developed only on that side
OF the stem toward the north, and
each seems covered with microscopic
crystals of snow. The flower when it
opens is star shaped, it's petals are of

about half ninch in width.-Londol
