We can safely say that between
90 and 100 letters similar to the
above have peen received at this of
flee since January LIST. We reply to
them all, but the time necessary to
reply, stamps, stationery ETC., falls
as burden upon us, which we think
ought to be shared by others. The
information we write them is as
matter of fact but meagre at best,
as it would take page after page of
close and attentive writing to each
one individually to supply them
with full information. Although
every issue of the SIGNAL contains
something of interest to those wish
ing to learn something about the
place, yet no one nor half dozen
copies will contain all the informa-
ton they might desire. 1t is a nat

FOUR CURIOUS PLANTS.
Natures Hoax, Mother-in-Law, Lovers
 Own and Scotch Attorney.

Natures Hoax, Mother-in-Law, Lovers
 Own and Scotch Attorney.
 In the United States Botanical Gar dens, at Washington, D. C., are four very curious plants, to which the Post of that city alludes as Natures Hoax" 7" the 'Mother-in-law plant" the ''Lov- er's plant and the Scotch Attorney"
 ''Nature's Hoax grows wild in Aus tralian forests. The seed lodge about five feet from the ground in decaycd trees, and the plant puts out leaves in the shape of heads of deer and elk. Many a hunter has been fooled by the plant.
 1.-The Mother-in-law plant, Tor ''Dumb Cane," is really the Deffenbachia se- guina picta. An auctioneer, being un- able to rattle off the botanical term, called it the ''Mother-in-law" plant, be- cause of it's queer qualities. The pecul- iarity of the plant is this, that if "a man takes bite of it his power of speech is taken away and his tongue is apt to be paralyzed for week. Humboldt's ar ticulating muscles, were paralyzed for eight days by this plant.
 A specimen of the mimose rudica is called the Lovers plant, because if a girl be really in love this plant will curl up at her touch; if not, not.
 Superintendent Smith, of the Gar dens, has facetiously termed a creeper the ''Scotch Attorney" The latter is credited with engaging himself in case and absorbing everything of value in it before quitting it, and that's what the plant does.

A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT.
\ Big Tree Which VIII Be Seen at tn,
 Chicago World Fair.

\ Big Tree Which WiIl Be Seen at the
 Chicago World Fair.
 Among the wonderful exhibits with which Chicago hopes to startle the visitor to the worlds fair, it is likely that none will create more comment from Europeans than the big tree sent from California.
 This specimen, says the New York World, is from Mammoth Forest, Tulare county, Cal, and measures ninety-nine feet in circumference at the base. It is three hundred and twelve feet in height and the distance from the base to the first limb is one hundred and seventy two feet. The tree is nearly three thousand years old. The story of the felling of the tree is an interesting one. A scaffold was built around this giant of the forest at point twcnty-two feet from the ground. The saw used in cut ting it was twenty-two feet in length. The tree was cut twenty-five feet from the ground. Ten export woodsmen were employed five months and twelve days in the cutting, but when the crash did come it was heard three miles away. In its fall the big fellow imbedded him. self six feet in the ground. After the upper part of the tree fell the top of the stump was lcvcled off and section nine feet in height cut from it. To get this section from the forest it was neces- sary to build road for four miles and indulge in much blasting and bridge building.
 Since then it has been shipped to New Orleans. There Q section of the tree has been cut out and hung on enormous hinges the interior has been hollowed out and now can comfortably hold more than one hundred visitors. This unique exhibit has been fitted up with two hundred and fifty incandescent lights. It is likely that Kew Workers will be given look at this California wonder before it is shipped to Chicago.

A SUBMARINE TELEPHONE
Successful Transmission of the Human
 Voice Through Water.


 To transmit the sound of the human voice through twenty-four niles of water-to say nothing of 270 miles of land line-has been regarded aS impos- sible, the rctardation of tho current in the submarine cable over even short distances having been found sufficient to reduce all articulato sounds to an in- definite murmur, says the Manchester Guardian. The most important sub marine telephone existing is that across the river La Plata from Buenos Ayres to Montevideo. a comparatively short distance, and that is hardly suc cess. The French government, which has shown remarkable energy in the development of the national 'tele- phone system, however aspired to over come the difficulties and to establish speaking communication with London, and the English telegraphic engineer ing department at St. Martin's-le- Grand undertook to grapple with the problem. Under the direction of MT. Preece, the chief engineer, a number of experiments with cables have been made, and new cable designed in which every resource of electrical en- gineering has been employed to secure success. The cable consists of four thick copper wires. Two wires will be required for a single line, as q complete metallic circle is one Of the first essen tials; the other wires will be available to duplicate the line if successful, and in the meantime they will be used to supplement the telcgraphic service. A new set of posts, entirely separate from any other wires, have been erected from London to Dover, carrying two wires to the cable, and these are fixed to the posts in special way and crossed continually. All these precau- tions are taken in order to reduce the induction to a minimum. The wires used throughout both the English land line and the submarine cables are of three times the usual weight and of solid copper. being six hundred pounds per mile weight The French line from Paris to Calais is a little lighter. Its termini are St. Margaret's bay, near Dover and Sangattc, near Calais. The cable had been constructed in England, and will be laid by the English depart ment, but the cost will be divided. The eighty miles of land line from Lon- don to St. Margaret's bay is practically completed, as is the line constructed by the French government over the one hundred and eighty miles from Paris to Sangatte.
 Since the above was written the cable has been successfully laid and is in oper- atiOn

Rich Enough to Wear Anything.

The swellest people here are, for the most part, the poorest, some one writes to the Pittsburgh Dispatch from Hot Springs, and in this Arkansas is not un- like the rest of the world. There is an old man to be seen about the baths and Hobbies of the hotels and even on the street, whose coat is greasy and lacking in buttons, whose trousers are frayed at the bottoms and who for some inscruta- ble reason wears a rubber overshOe all the time on his left foot. To all ap- pearances he might be worth fifty cents and many 8 crippled beggar on the streets here has more opulent air. Yet the eccentric invalid who shufies along with one foot in the grave and the other in rubber shoe is more than millionaire and owns good part of the new town that is taking the place of the rattle-trap and tumble-down viii lage which Hot Springs was until very lately.

VARIETIES OF CHIMES.
Boot Blacking as High Art in the City
 of Boston.

Boot Blacking as High Art in the City
 of Boston.
 There is a pleasing mystery, says the Boston Post, about the methods of the boot-blaclzing fraternity which do not pretend to fathO;n. Indeed, it has all ways seemed to me more satisfactory to take them on trust than to seek to penetrate their meaning. For this req son 1 never ask the professor who does mo the honor to set off my personal appearance by giving what he guaran- tees to be a ''boss shine to my boots, to show me his diploma: Gs long as he does his work well. am indifferent to the authority under which he practices his art. But 1 was sorcly tempted the other day to depart from my custom in this respect on seeing on a professor placard the following list of boot black ing operations and tho prices for them.
 Opera shines, five cents; oil shines, ten cents; Nubian shines, fifteen. cents.
 Not wishing to appear ignorant of such matters of importance in relation to the polish of the understanding, and feeling also that it is always well to leave something to the imagination, I refrained from probing the mystery. Sometime or other. however. propose to ascertain the nature Of these differ ent shines" by p2troniziag tho ''pro- lessor who cdvertises them. though have feeling that it would be what the socialists call ''culpablc luxury to pay fifteen cents for a ''Nubian shine" un- less it has properties beyond those which in my ignorance S-c associated with it.

AMBIDExTROus BARRIERS.
Most Men Can Use But One Hand in
 Shaving.

Shaving.
 There are lots of barbers in this city who won't hire a man that cannot shave himself with either hand, said Boston barber to a St. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter. Of tho people who shave them selves, forty-ninc out of fifty can hold their razor in but one hand. Yet it is just as easy and much more convenient to shave the ri Int side of your face with your right hand and the left side with the left hand if you only begin that way. No two men who shave tho selves do the work alike, especially if they took it up before going to a bar Der.
 know wealthy Back bay man who slaves himself standing in the corner of his room and facing tho wall, h youth he was . poor country boy, and lilse most boys, bought a razor on the quiet. But he had no looking glass in his chamber, and rather than let his folks know what he was up to, he faced the wall and scrapcd away by sense of feeling. Once learned that way he never had use for Q glass.
 knew an old farmer in the counrry who shaved himself sittingon milking stool and looking at his reflection in a bucket of water. That was the way he learned when Q boy, and he said he couldn't shave himself standing up.
