A Nan.Eating Plant.

There has been discovered in Nicara-
qua sh'eating or rather mau-eating
plaat, which ID called by the natives "ths
DEVILS snare" In form it ia a kind of
vegetable octopus or devil fish, and it is
able to draw blood Of any living thing
which comes within ito clutches. 1t
appears that Mr.. Dunatan, naturalist,
has lately returned from Central Amer.
ica, where he spent two years in tho
study of the plants and animals of those
regions. In one Of the swamps which
surround the great Nicaragua Lake he
discovered the singular growth.
He Was engaged in hunting botanical
and chronological specimens when he
heard his dog cry out as if in agony from
q distance. Running to the spot whence
the animals cries came, Mr.. Dunstan
found him envsloped in perfect net
work of what seemed to be fine, rope.
like tissue of roots and fibres. The plant
or vine seemed composed entirely of bare,
interlacing stems, resembling more than
anything else the branches of the weep
ing willow denuded of iss foliage, but Of
a dark, nearly black, hue, and covered
with a thick viscid gam that e1uded
from the pores.
Drawing his knife, Mr.. Dunstan at
tempted to cut the poor beast free, but it
WAS with the very greatest difficulty thar
he managed to sever the aeshy, muscular
fbres of the plant. When tho dog was
extricated from the plant, Mr.. Dunstan
ssw to his horror and amazement that
the dogs body was blood-s.ainsd, while
the skin appeared to have been acsually
sucked or puckersd in spots, and the
animal staggered as if from exhaustion.
In cutting the vine tho tuiggs curlsd like

force 10 free the member from its cling
ing grasp, which left the flesh red and
blistered.
The gum e1uding from the vine was Of
a grayish dark tinge, remarkably adhes-
i've aud of q disagresable odor, powerful
and nauseating to inhalo. The natives
showed the greatsat horror of the plant,
and recountod to the naturalist many
stories of its dsath.dealing powers. Mr..
Dunstan said he was able to discover very
little about the plant owing to tho diff
Guilty of handling it, for it's grasp can
only be shaken off with the loss of skin
and even of flesh. As near as ho could
ascertain, however, its power Of suction

food.
If the substance is animal the blood is
drawn off and tho carcau or refuse then
dropped. A lump of raw meat being
thrown in, in the short space of FIVE
minutes the blood will be thoroughly
drunk off and the maas thrown aside.
It's voracity is almost beyond belief

The newspaper correspondent who has
a reas nabe regard for the facts and
knows how to gather them and put them
into condensed readable form for news
papers printed outside Of his town and
territory, is generally very useful in
divdual, and in the course of year, ii
he is careful and conscientious in his
work, he can accomplish genuine good
service not only for the people of his i'm
mediate neighborhood, but for the terri
tory as q whole, for through the work OF
these correspondents usually the cream OF
the news gets into the metropolitan dailes
of tine country-big deals i'll live stock,
mines, irrigation enterprises, railroads,
ranches, in fact everything pertaining to
the growth and development OF the coun-
try finds place in outside papers through
the agency OF the correspondents, and IN
this wise no small influence is exerted
that brings immigration and capital into
the territory. From Santa Fe, Silver City
/ and Hllsboro a resume OF mining opera
tons is sent weekly as special feature
to such papers as the New GOrk Sun, the
Denver Republican and the ST. Loul'
Globe-Democrat, and it is safe to say tina
such letters have had much to do Will
the material prosperity OF the territory.
The average correspondent is usually
man OF good judgment and conservative
in his statements; were lie otherwise hi
employees would soon find it out and lie
him co. But it appears that in som
quarters OF the territory are correspon
dents whose only idea Of journalism i
something in the line OF the sensational
Every petty criminal case serves them a
material for highly colorcd dispatch
and the least hint that trouble exist
among cowboys and Indians is seize
and the people abroad are RECALLED Wit
full imaginary details Of bloody lndial
wars in New Mexico, etc, etc. Thus
is not difficult to see that in New Mexic
we have two classes of newspaper CORE
spondents. From all appearances, judy
ing from the mass of rot sent out recent
respecting the Navajo Indians, Albuquer
que has more than its share of the elias
that can scarcely be characterized of an
very material benefit in promoting tn
welfare of New Mexico.
