TuE Sneezewood Of South Africa, COM

violent sncezing-hcncc the name.
Az electric vegetable is said 70 have
been discovered in India which has the
power Of affecting the magnetic needle
at a distance Of twenty feet when the
weather is favorable. In rainy weather
it has no electric influence whatever.
TIM African teak tree is noted for its
beautiful and valuable wood, and is
similar To the East Indian teak, but
must not Ice confoundcd with IL. for the
Indian teak tree belongs 20 an entirely
different family.

THE spiders mouth is quite compli-
Gated affair. It has fangs for holding
its prey, masticatory organs for bruising
its solid food, and sucking apparatus
for taking up the fluids. Quite as com
plicated is the mouth of the mosquito,
which consists of the lanccs, the saws
and the pumping-tubes.
IN London specimens OF Mexican dry
moss were shown before the Botanical
Society that were green and Furnishing,
although they had been shut up for
three months in dry place. These
plants are said To have tho power of roll
ing up in ball when dry and becoming
apparently dead, only To bloom again,
however, when exposed TO moisture.
THE Indian soap tree is said to be ex-
tensively used in South America for
washing purposes, and on the Florida
coast two species grow which are said 10
contain Sopanin. so common in several
species OF this genus The hard, round
nutlets, or seeds, of some OF the species
are used for making rosaries, bracelets,
necklaces, etc, and few species have
edible outer coverings Ia their fruits;
but the seeds are poisonous.
Ar late meeting of the Royal
Botanic Society an interesting sweet
scented fern from the society's garden
was exhibited. The perfume closely
resembles that of fresh hay, and, like it,
is retained after the frond is dry, and
lasts for many months if not years, inn
parting its fragrance to any thing in
contact with it. The secretary thought
il might be grown as source of perfume
by amateurs, IL not commercially.
