THE FLY EATING PLANT.
a Curious Operation OF a Vegetable De
vOuring Animal Life.

| a Curious Operation OF Vegetable De-
vOuring Animal Life.
One species of the drosea has it's leaves
rounded, while the other has them elon-
gated, but both alike have them reddish
In color and covered with short hairs or
tilaments. At the end of each of these
hairs there is an enlarged gland which
secretes tiny drop of what appears to
be harmless dew. Harmless, however, the
liquid is not, for to most insects, espe-
clally small flies, the drosea is most
insldiously baited trap The liquid is in
reality a sweet, sticky substance, and if
| the very smallest fly does but touch it
ever so lightly it sticks there and dies.
The manner in which the plant after
ward actually digests the bodies of the
flies it entraps is interesting in the ex-
treme
Within short time of the capture of
fy-so excessively sensitive are the
glands-all the flaments growing around
the one which has made the capture COM
mence to bend inward, covering the
luckless insect until it is securely within
the grasp of the relentless plant. Each
gland then pours out upon the body a
digestive liquid, not altogether unlike
the gastric juice of animals, and in the
course of day or two the fly is CON-
pletely digested, the nutritive parts have
been wholly absorbed by the plant and
the filaments have bent back to their
original position, ready to make another
capture upon the first opportunity.
If, however, the substance caught by
the leaf is of an indigestible nature,
such as grain of sand or piece of
stick blown by the winds on to the
glands. the leaf does not remain closed
more than few hours. The number of
insects thus caught must be very great.
The plants themselves are very album
dant in most upland boys. Each plant
has five or six leaves, and as many as
thirteen dead flies have been found on
single leaf
Curiously enough, Darwin, whose re-
searches into the subject were of a most
exhaustive and interesting nature, found
that the leaves on his plants were killed
when he gave them a surfeit of cheese
and raw meat. The excessively sensi-
tive nature of the glands almost sur
passes conception. Darwin found that
the absorption Of only the 1-2O, OOO, OOOth |
part Of grain Of phosphate of ammo |
MA or thereabout was sufficient to cause |
the tilament bearing the gland to bend
toward the center of the leaf.-Good |

OTHER WORLDS OF HA1ITATION.

There Is More in Heaven and Earth Than

Rev. DR.. Dallinger delivered lecture
at Bristol the other night on the planets
around us and their possible habita-
bility, says the Pail Mall Budget.
Speaking of Mercury, DR.. Dallinger
pointed out it's chief features and
showed that they Appropriated to those
OF the earth. Although the heat from
the sun there was more intense it might
be tempered by the character of the at
mosphere.
Venus was yet more akin to our world
In every respect, SO that life there, as
we know it, was yet more possible.
The conditions of the atmosphere in
deed, were such that the whole globe
might be habitable. Mars next came
under review, the lecturer explaining
It's character, substance, atmosphere
and other features, which, he said,
made the existence of creatures. if not
man, quite possible.
People were slowly losing their for
mer notions that there were nothing
and nobody in the universe except the
world and man. There were other
worlds, however, which, so far as hui
man intelligence could judge, were not
yet suitable for habitation, but were
gradually assuming conditions which
might ultimately make life possible.
The lecturer held the opinion that many
years hence some means of mental com
munication with the denizens of the
other planets might be established. In
the present days of marvellous discov-
cries in science all things seemed posi-
BILE, and the establishment of inter
communication Of some kind between
this earth and the beings of the planets
did not seem more improbable or impos-
sible than the sending of telegraph
message from England to New York
seemed one hundred years ago.

No matter what the attractions Offered
by the enterprising clothier, no matter

of them, who insist upon being fitted
and hold to the opinion that the regula

thing for a well dressed man, and can be
induced to wear no other
That there are many such in Durham
is proven by the fact that the town has
not only sustained one of the largest and
best tailoring establishments in the state,
but that representatives of other firms,
both in and out the state, find here a
profitable field, judging from the fire
quency of their visits and the orders they
take away with them.
What THE GLOBE wants to know is,
why people who live in Durham and
their clothes made elsewhere and pay
their money to foreign firms, when they
have right here at home such an estab

is acknowledged by all to be one the best
equipped and experienced tailors in the

John Mesley is one of the men who
came to Durham years ago and started

WASHINGTON, Aug, 1S.-The bill Of
the finance committee of the senate
to allow national banks to issue cur
rency to the par value of the bonds
deposited by them in the treasury was
fairly launched on its voyage in the
senate yesterday, but it is sure to ex-
perience very stormy weather that
will retard if it does not prevent its
reaching port in safety. 1t will take
good management to overcome the
obstacles, one of which is the amend
ment offered yesterday by Mr.. Cock
rel Democra0 of Missouri directing
the secretary of the treasury to re-
deem such of the outstanding per
cent bonds as may be offered,
to pay for them at par
with accrued interest by a new
issue of greenbacks. Mr.. Cockrell
calculates that if this amendment be
incorporated in the bill, and if the
bill becomes a law, more than $780,
100000 of the $25, 100000 of these
bonds will be presented, and that
thus an issue of more than 500, 900, 900
in greenbacks will be put in circula-
ton. 1t is understood that he has
also in reserve several other PROPOSE
tions that will not be very pleasing to
the national banks or their friends in
the senate. The new senator from
Nebraska, Mr.. Allen, is also prepared
to attack the bill with an amendment
for the suspension of the interest on
the bonds deposited by the national
banks as a basis for the increased cir
culation, There are therefore lively
times ahead of the bill and Mr. Voor-
hees will have to put forward all his
resources to prevent it's being
swamped in the senate.
