A NAVIGATING PLANT.

Naturalist Dunstan Saves a Dog
Which Was Caught in Its Folds.
~ From the! Horticultural Times.
There has been discovered ia Nicaragua a
flesh-eating or rather man-eating plant,
which is called BY the natives "the DEVILS
snare" In form 1t is a kind of vegetable
octopus or devil fish, and it is able TO draw
blood OF any living thing which comes with

be was engaged in hunting botanical and
chronological specimens when he heard his
dog cry out as II in agony from distance.
Running TO the spot whence the animal 3
cries came, Mr.. Dunstan found him envel-
oped in perfect ne work Of what seemed
to be a fiue, rope-like tissue of roots and
hbers. The plant or vine seemed composed
entirely OF uare. Interlaciug stems, resem-
bling more than anything else the branches
OF the weeping willow denuded Of it's foli-
age, but OF a dark, nearly black hue, and
covered with thick viscld gum that ex-
uded from the pores.
Drawing his knife Mr. Dunstan attempted

the utmost difficulty that he managed to
sever the feshy, muscular abers Of the
plant. When tie dog was extracted from
the plant Mr.. Dunstsn saw to his horror
and amazement that the dogs body was
blood stained, while the skin appeared t
have been actually sucked or puckered in
spots and the animal staggered as if from
exhaustion. In cutting the vine the twigs
curled like living, sinuous fingers about Mr..
Dunstan's hand and it required no slight
force TO free the member from its ciinging
grasp, which left the flesh red and blistered.
The gum exuding from the vine was of a
grayish dark tinge, remarkably adhesive
and of a oisagreeable odor, powerful and
nauseating to inhale. The natives showed
the greatest horror of the plant, and re-
counted to tho naturalist many stories OF its
death-dealing powers. Mr.. Dunstan said he
was able to discover very little about the
plant owing to the difficulty of handling it,
for its grasp can only be shaken Off with the
loss of skin and even of flesh. As near as
be could ascertain, however, its power Of
suction is contained in number of inflni-
tesimal mouths or little suckers, which ors
dinarily closed, open for the reception of
food.

blood will be thoroughly drunk off and the
mass thrown aside. Its voracity ia almost

TASTED TOO MUCH ELECTRICITY
That's What Killed Fire Tester Yeo.
Brother Workmen Frightened.
From the NeD York World.

Brother Workmen Frightened.
From the NeW York World.
Arthur James Yeo of No. 2l81 Eighth
avenue was practical electrician by trade.
He was an Englishman, q years OF age, and
had worked at his trade in various lands.
Two years ago he was working wires along
the projected route of the Panama canal.
But the fever fell upon him and be was told
TO get out OF the Panama country within
forty eight hours, else he would 60 out on
the funeral train.
He sailed at once for New York and soon
afterward secured employment at the cleo
trical works of Ostrander 81 Co., M. 1856
Fulton street. He was a good workman
and he was put TO testing wires most Of the
time.
Electricians tests small wires by applying
them to their tongues. This, Of course, Is
done only with the wires used for burglar
alarms hotel annunciaeors, etc. No better
way OF testing these currents Is known. A
current and its quantity can be discovered
by placing the " Tres to the tongue, when
no feeling would be experienced if they were
held In the hand.
Yeo did this work constantly for two
years. Then it began to tell on him. He
had never fully recovered from the attack
Of Panama fever and tine hot electricity be-
gan to undermine his nervous system. His
wife and friends knew that he was not we'll,
but did not know the cause. About a week
ago he became 50 weak that he went to bed
He grew worse daily and died yesterday
morning.
DR.. Dane reported to the bureau Of vital
statistics that Arthur James Yeo died of
nervous apoplexy. The physician made a
thorough examination of the mans nervous
system and decided that death wes due to
too much electricity.
This strange cause Of death has startled
all of the electricians Of this city. There
were dozen skilled men, associates OF Mr..
Yeo, at Mrs. Yeo's house last evening dis
cussing the matter. Some of them did not
share the opinion of the attending physi-
oian. II he is correct. though in his dag
nosis some parts of the electrical business
will have to be revised, for the men have
become frightened.
