The Death Plant Of Java.

A magnificent kali mujah or death
plant Of Java, has been recently
received here by Mrs. Madison Black.
This specimen, which is the only living
one that has ever been brought to this
country, was sent Mrs. Black by her
brother, Jerome Hendricks, who went
out as missionary to the island. The
kali mujah is found only in the volcanic
districts Of Java and sumatra, and then
but rarely. 1t grows from two to three
feet in height, with long, slender stems,
armed with thorns nearly al inch long,
and covered with broad satin-smooth
leaves of heart shape and of delicate
emerald on one side and blood red,
streaked with cream, on the other.
The flowers of the death plant arc
large, milk white, and cup-like, being
about the size and depth of large
coffee cup, and having the rim guarded
by fine brier-like thorns. The peculi-
arity in this plant lies in these flowers,
which, beautiful as they arc, distil con-
tinually deadly perfume so powerful as
to overcome, if inhaled any length OF
time, ull-grown man, and killing all
forms of insect life approaching it. The
perfume, though more pungent, IS as
sickeningly sweet as chloroform, which
it greatly resembles in effect, producing
insensibility, but convulsing at the same
time the muscles of the face, especially
those about the mouth and eyes, draw
ing the former up into grin. An in
halation is followed by violent headache
and ringing in the ears, which gives way
to a temporary deafness, often total while
if lasts.
Other plants seem to shun the kali mu-
iah, which might be termed the lshmaet
of the vegetable kingdom, for it grows
isolated from every other form Of vege-
tation, though the soil about it may be
fertile. All insects and birds instinc-
lively seem to avoid all contact with it,
but when accidentally approaching it
have been observed to drop to the earth,
even when as far from it as three feet,
and, unless at once removed, soon died,
evincing the same symptoms as when
etherized.
Mr.. Hendricks, who writes describ-
ing how he secured the specimen sent his
sister, says he discovered it first by see
ing bird of paradise he was endeavorlng
to capture alive fall, stunned by the
deadly odor of the kali mujah, and on
examining the plant, though warned by
the natives to let it alone, himself expe-
rienced the headache and commissions
which arc its invariable results.-PhsIa-
aelphia Times.

Smugglers.

It is not only the steamship officers,
who smuggle. Passengers are great
smugglers. Diamonds used to be the
main thing; now it is silks, the duty on
diamonds being so low and the watch so
strict that there is too much risk. Our,
Government for some years back has kept
a sharp detective force in London and
Paris, who watch the dealers in dla-
monds, and have made it very hard in
deed to successfully smuggle the precious
gems. This detective process IS more
simple than one might think. A man
who wants diamonds must go somewhere
to buy them. If he desires to smuggle
them he wants unset diamonds, and if
he desires to smuggle them for business
be wants quantity. Now, there are not
many wholesale diamond dealers even IN
the great capitals of Europe. All OF them
are known. Our Government detectives
keep strict watch on these places, and
man who undertakes to deal with them
for crooked work is soon spotted. Long
before he reaches this country news OF
his enterprise is sent here, and he is ar.
rested as soon as he steps on the wharf
here. This doesn't apply to small snug
cling of diamonds and other things by
women. No detective skill can stop
that. The dear creatures have always
evaded custom duties, and they always
will as long as custom duties last, and, 1t
il not too much to say, that half of the
pleasure which they get In foreign travel
will be taken away when there is no
longer anything to smaggle,--fe'' forS
