In Mindinac, the farthest southeast.
I'm island in the Philippine group,
upon one of its mountains, the volcano
.Apo, a party of botanical and ethno-
graphical explorers found recently, at
'hc height of two thousand five hun.
bred feet above the sea level, a colossal
tower The discoverer, Doctor Alex
nder Schadenberg, could scarcely be-
lieve his eyes when he saw amid the
low growing bushes the immense buds
Of this flower growing like gigantic
cabbage heads. But he was still more
a>touished when he found a specimen in
iull bloom, tive-petaled flower nearly
yard in diameter, as large as carriage
wheel, i'll fact. This enormous blossom
was borne ON sort Of vine creeping on
the ground. The native who accom-.
panied Doctor Schalenberg called it
" bolo.' The party had no scale by
which the weight of the flower could be
.;scertained, but they improvised
swinging scale, using their boxes and
specimens as weights. Weighing these
when opportunity served, it was found
that single flower weighed over
twenty-five pounds. 1t was impossible
to transport the fresh flower, so the
travellers photographed it, and dried
number of its leaves by the heat of
fire. Doctor Schadenberg then sent
;he photographs and dried specimens
to the Royal Botanical Gardens, Bres.
Iau, where the learned director imme-
diately recognized it as species of
Raitiesia, plant formerly discovered in
Sumatra, and named after the English
governor, Sir Stamford Rallies. The
uew flower was accordingly named Raj.
fiesta Schadenbergia. The five petals
Of this immense flower are oval and
creamy white, and grow round center
field with countless long, violet-hned
stamens, thicker and longer in the fer
tile flower than in the infertile.

NJ uskrat Houses.

Next to the beaver the muskrat is
one of the most ingenious of rodents
in the construction of its houses, and
its mode of life and habits are very in
Ieresting. They select thu lower river
marsh lands as their dwelling place,
and there they build their homes. A
location is preferred which is flooded
ut high tide, but which is clear of water
Mt low ebb; and every creek and al
most every little inlet to the river af-
fords innumerabls positions that are "a
vorable. After determining upon the
exact position Of their house the rats
burrow leads, or miniature tunnels
from the waters edge at low tide to the
spot upon which tho house is to he
erected. They then set about collect.
ing material for their dwelling. The
tall canes and coarse marsh grass are
cut down and pulled in place, and tho
marsh mud is used as kind OF mortar.
A large circular foundation is laid, and
the ground floor arranged on level
with the leads.
This completed, an upward lead is
made like spiral stairway to tho SEC
pnd floor, which is made into room
similar to the first, but of less circum-
ference. A third and sometimes q
fourth floor is built with the spiral lead
running from the level OF the marsh to
the top of the house, each succeeding
room being Of somewhat less diameter,
up to the roof or dome, which acts as Q
watershed. The height OF each floor
from the level Of the marsh is regu-
lated by the successive heights reached
by the tide, the top floor being always
higher than the highest watermark at
Good tide.

You've never fshed much for trout,

he was alive.
The tenderfoot looked up and scowled.
Then he threw his line, catching it in

the bank

Learned lots about tenderfeet from
knowing Judge Dundy, of Omaha, SO
long. Trout are too small game for
him. Elmer Frank that came along
with him did the fishing. You won't
ever go back on secret if tell you q
queer fact about that there man.
Well, he used to sneak off by hisself
and come back with the greatest load
Of big fish you ever saw. 1t was a good
while before l caught on to his scheme,
and what do YOU think it was? Well,
you'd never guess.
Judge Dundy and he had brought
along a demiiohn of Council Bluffs
whishey, and that there Frank used to
'iptoe out to nice, quiet pool in the
Cimarron. He'd pour half pint of
that whiskey into the water and wait
until the trout got drunk.
After they were psralyzed, of course
it wasn't any trick to catch the fish. 1t
did beat all to see him come in with O
big mess for breakfast. Then, when he
wanted to show off how he could fish,
he'd go back then to that pool, and the
fish being hungry from their Council
Bluffs appetizer, they'd bite quicker'n a
wink.

Soldier in Civilian Attire.
Speaking of queer dogs said Mr..
Lawrence, manager of the post trader
store at Smelling, to Pioneer Press
man, there was one at Fort Sully that
aroused the interest and wonder Of
everybody in the post,
He belonged to no one. He was
not bad-looking water spaniel, but ap-
peared to know a thing or two. Every
member of our company treated him
royalty, and he was continually around
them.
The minute any of his friends APP
pearcd in citizens dress the dog re-
fused to recognize him, and no amount
of persuasion could induce him to make
mp. It was often tried by the men
for fun, but in every single instance the
dog showed his teeth and trotted away.
He seemed to have particular af-
fnitv for the boys of Company A.,
and many a one has he saved from
trouble.
There was a certain guard post in
The fort that was not looked upon as

know how strict regular army officers
are, and should guard be caught nap
ping it would go hard with him. AT
this post the dog would be found every
night as regular as clockwork. He
stayed right with the sentinel, and his
presence often gave the soldiers an op-
rortunity to catch a little rest.
They could go to sleep during the
late hours of the night, but the minute
the old dog heard the least sound Of
footsteps he would scratch the guard
roughly on the shoulder and wake him
up in time to meet the intruder, be he
officer or otherwise.
Il do not know Of single instance
where a sentinel on this post was caught
mapping, though the officers tried it
rime and time again. The sentinels on
the other posts did not fare so we'll.
Company A could not do too much
for that animal and is caring for him
vet, though [ believe it is required
that he be locked up at night. This
was a sad blow to the men, for they
were seldom very much fatigued from
guard duty when the dog was with
