FIRE DOES NOT AFFECT IT.

While in this locality ample opportunity was afforded the members of the expedition to make an exhaustive study of the habits and peculiarities of this most remarkable of all species of the vegetable kingdom. By 8 series of carefully conducted experiments it was found that this plant would feed on any kind of metal placed at its roots and in a few days take on the characteristics of that metal, and in the case of the softer metals often but 8 few hours were required to effect @ complete metamorphosis of its fiber and color.
 Being curious to know how fire would af- feet a growing plant of this species, prepa- rations were made for the test. Large quan- titles of seasoned wood were procured and piled in long row covering about thirty of the metal plants and fire kindled at the windward end. Stanley and his entire party watched the experiment, and had the satis- faction of demonstrating that, beyond the blackening of the foliage by smoke, the in. tense heat to which the metal plant had been subjected had done no harm to the plant it. self At the expiration of a week it was found that the rain had removed nearly all traces of the fire and the plants were ap- parently as healthy as ever.
 The roots present peculiarities not found in other plants. They branch out from the trunk on all sides like vine and are usually from six to eight inches beneath the surface of the soil. Regularly at every seven or eight inches the root branches, and at this juncture grows peculiar pair of round, | slightly concaved discs, hinged together like the shells of 6 clam at the point of juncture with the root. These discs leave their con- vex sides outward and usually remain above half open until they encounter metal or met al ore, when they gradually close around it and process supposed to be similar to cleo tro-plsting goes on, the metal being rapidly absorbed by the plant.

winterins Bees in Cellars.

B. Benjamin, of Queens county, n. Y,
writing in The New York World, says:
While many successful bee keepers
winter their bees on summer stands. l
think the majority of northern apiarists
favor wintering in cellars. Dry fine air
and proper and uniform temperature
are the two prime essentials in success
full wintering; these, in my opinion, can
not be so perfectly controlled out of
doors as in some suitable place indoors.
To insure dry air the cellar must be a
well drained one, with bottom cemented
and walls plastered to prevent moisture
from passing through. Next it must be
warm enough to prevent freezing, and
provided with sufficient ventilation to
admit of the escape of the heat and gases
generated by the bees. The temperature
most to be desired is 45 degs. Fahren-
heit. A portion of the cellar ought to
be set aside especially for the bees.
When presentable I would mass them in
a solid body in the center of the room,
never close to the ends. Let the hives
rest a foot or more from the bottom of
the cellar and upon each other, being
careful to break joints and get the weak
est colonies on top.
This work should be delayed until the
autumn is sufficiently advanced TO chill
the bees a little, so they viii not be too
active; avoid, however, the other extreme
of waiting for cold weather. When all
are nicely piled up exclude all light.
Newman advises entering the bee de-
partment every fortnight with a dark
lantern to see that all goes well. If the
thermometer indicates above Do degs.
admit cold air: if below 40 degs.,
which ought not to occur, partly close
the ventilator to bring the mercury up
to the desired temperature. Messrs. New
man and Cook agree that each colony
should begin the winter with thirty
pounds of good honey. l have never
weighed mine, but believe it would be a
good plan. Some beekeepers resort to
small stoves to keep their cellars warm
enough, others depend on the warmth
from fire in a room above the cellar,
while others again connect it by shaft
or pipe with the stove above. By this
latter plan the cellar is ventilated with
warm air.

call on them regularly three times a week
and pour their devotion into the ears OF

Sometimes one calls without the other
and frequently they would make awk-
ward mistakes in getting hold of the
wrong girl. In order to prevent these
mistakes one Of the young men gave his
girl a pair of earrings OF certain make

and one went into the front parlor TO

the other remained in the hall In the
meantime the twins had exchanged the
