Paul believed that the force was a little
larger than was really needed in these

the acknowledge of good and evil" has at
last, after many unsuccessful efforts, been
reared in the Botanical Gardens at Kew,
England, a tinenpecimen of the Lodoicea
sechcllarum, as it is botauically termed,
being on view in the Victoria House.
This strange plant, which has its home
in the Seychelle Islands, to the north
cyst of Madagascar, a locality somewhat
remote from the generally accepted site
of the Garden of Eden, is extremely
difficult to rear. As will be seen from
the sketch, the Coco lie Mer has a very
different method of growth from that
adopted by the general run of vegeta-
ton. The huge double fruit, fourteen
inches or so in length, require a good
deal of ~coaxing to induce them to send
out a shoot. This shoot, too, is very
capricious, and must be carefully tempted
to attach itself to the sell, which it
docs, at some distance, often as much as
two OF three feet. The shoot then sprouts
up like an ordinary we'll behaved plant,
and the leaves commence to develop.
The whole process is shown in the
sketch, where the fruit is seen placed in
the small pan Of damp moss, aui send
in5 forth a shoot to alotter pot. The
large fbrous fruits, which look like two
c~ocoanuts joined together, are frequently
found floating in the sea, and this has
given rise. to many traditions; among
others, the sailors aver that the fruit
grows on a tree deep down in the un-
fathomable depths of the ocean!

The Electric Search Light.

An important application of electricity
is that of the search light. Very power
full lights can easily be manipulated and
used where old fashioned lights would
be valueless. 1t can be used for the
various colored lights employed in steer
ing vessels; also for signaling from shinr
to shore or from ship to ship. Easily III
terpreted signals o. messages can be sent
to a greater distance than twelve miles,
as was proved by my experiments at Ma
liant in 1859, and as shown later by ex-
periments between Newport and Rocky
Point about 1877. When a message was
written at Newport and transmitted by
flash lights to Rocky Point, and there
copied down aud brought back to New.
port, the message received at Rocky
Point was found to agree exactly with
the message seat from Newport. Mes
sages were also easily read when signals
were flashed upon the clouds high up in
the air. These could be readily under
stood, even when transmitted to greater
distances than twelve miles. -New York
