lions that are puzzling biologists. tits sug-

defend the animal from the attacks of enc
mics, although Il seems improbable that
the discharge would seriously pain or affect
an enemy. However, Mr. Hay thinks il
likely that this is the purpose OF the habit,
and he says; "A discharge OF blood into the
eyes Of some pursuing bird or snake might
30 seriously interfere with its clearness OF
vision that the lizard might make its es-

pertinent Of being buried alive. That the
plan IS practicable is alleged by travellers
who claim to have seen the thing done by
Indian fakirs.
CAPTAIN Osborne. a British army officer
In his work entitled 1.-THE Court and Camp
Of Rungect Sing, gives a circumstantial
account OF falsir who had the extraor-
binary power of susDcnding his animation
for a great length Of time, during which he
allowed himself to be kept in burial
vault apart from all supply of airand food.
After going through regular course OF
preparation. which occupied him seven
days, and the details of which are not agree
able to dilate upon, the fahir reported him
self ready for interment in u vault which
had been prepared for the purpose by order
Of the maharajah.
Captain Osborne tells us that on the ap-
pcamnce Of Rungeet and his court he pro-
ceeded to the final preparations that were
necessary in their presence. After stop
ping with wax his cars and nostrils he was
stripped and placed in n linen bag and the
last preparation was concluded by turning
his tongue forward and thus closing the
gullet. He Immediately died away in a
kind Of lethargy.
This bag was then closed and sealed with
Rungeets seal and afterward placed in a
small deal box, which was also loo ed and
sealed. The box was then placed in vault,
the earth thrown upon itand trodden down
and a crop Of of barley sown over the spot
and sentries placed around it.
The maharaiah was, however very skep-
teal on the subject, and twicein the course
Of the 10 months that the fakir remained
under ground he sent people to dig him up,
when he was found to be in exactly the
same position and in state of perfectly
suspended animation.
At the termination of the 10 months Cap
tain Wade, another British officer, accom-
panied the maharajah to see the fakir dis
inferred. He examinedth fakir personally
and infinitely and was convinced that all
animation was perfectly suspended. He
saw the locks opened and the seals broken
by the maharajah and the box brought into
the open air. The man was then taken out,
and on feeling his wrist and heart not the
slightest pulsatiOn was perceptible The
hrst thing toward restoring him to life was
the forcing his tongue back to its proper
position, which was done with some little
difficulty by person inserting his finger
and forcibly pulling it back and continuing
to hold it until it gradually resumed its
natural place. Captain Wade describes the
top of his head to have been considerably
heated, but all other parts Of the body were
cool and healthy in appearance. Pouringa
quantity Of warm water upon him consti-
tuted the only further measures for his res
toration, and in two hours time he was as
well as ever

record in books of Indian travel to the same

A Plea For Native shrubs.

"You cannot say too much in favor OF
planting our native shrubs, " says Professor
Stiles, the editor of Garden and Forest.
There is the spice bush Of our northern
woods, and the black birch, the red bud
and the cornels. and the bird cherry, and
the magnolia of our coasts; magnolia
glauca, one Of the most beautiful of all the
magnolias known.
Chinese varieties blossom on bald stems
before there is a sign Of leaves, and they
look as if they had the hair off. but our
magnolias come out, the creamy white
blossoms among the glossy new leaves, fill
ing all the air with fragrance. There is
nothing like it.
Our native laurels are beautiful shrubs,
and our crabapple and oak leaved hydran-
yea of the Allegheny mountains The
mountains that run down into Virginia
and Carolina are the home of the richest va
rieties, but every neighborhood has some
things worth finding and growing"
