Gigantic Leaves.

What trees bear the largest leaves?
An English botanist tells us that it Is
those that belong to the palm family,
First must be mentioned the Inaia palm
ofthe banks OF the Amazon, the leaves
of which are no less than fifty feet in
length by ten to twelve in width.
Certain leaves of the Ceylon palm at
tain a length of twenty feet and the
remarkable width of sixteen. The
natives use them for making tents.
Afterward comes the cocoanut palm,
the usual length of whose leaves is
about thirty feet. The umbrella mag
nolia, of Ceylon, bears leaves so large
that a single one may sometimes serve
as a shelter for fifteen or twenty per-
sons. One of these leaves carried to
England as a specimen was nearly
thirty-six feet in width. The plant
whose leaves attain the greatest di-
mansions in our temperate climate is
the victoria regia. A specimen of
this truly magnificent plant exists in
the garden of the Royal Botanical So
ciety of Edinburgh. Its leaf, which
is about seven feet in diameter is ca
pable of supporting a weight of S95
pounds.

Pounded the Dog to Death.

The most novel fight | ever wit
messed" remarked a traveller to
reporter, "was between a bull
dog and monkey, down in Cuba A
friend of mine had bulldog that had
licked every canine on the island and
he was very proud Of him. a gentle
man from South America said he had
monkey that could whip the bulldog
and the owner of the latter laughed at
the idea. After some talk wager Of
$500 was made and the only advan-
tage that the monkey was to have was
that he was to be allowed the privilege
of using baton, about the length Of
a policeman club, but not so heavy.
The fight was in public place, and
in pit that was surrounded by an iron
grating There was a big crowd out
to see the fight. OF course everybody
thought the dog would chew up the
monkey. After a few minutes, how
ever, the audience was surprised at the
sagacity displayed by the monkey.
The bulldog would make rush at the
monkey. and the latter would lump
aside and allow the bulldog to hit his
head against the iron gratings This
was kept up for twenty minutes or
more, and then the dog began to get
tired. The monkey began TO fight
He would let the dog make Il rush
and then Jump on the dogs back and
strike him several times with the ba-
ton. This was kept up for an hour
or more, and finally the dog fell on the
floor completely exhausted, and the
monkey would strike the dog several
blows, and then place his ear to the
canine to see if he still breathed. FL
nallv the owner of the dog agreed to
give up the fight, but the monkey 5
owner told him that he was too late as
the monkey would not quit until he
had killed the dog. This was one Of
the peculiaritics of the monkey. They
always killed their victims The own
er Of the dog said he did not want
his dog killed, and insisted on taking
the monkey off While they wore talk
ing the monkey belted the dog several
times with his baton, placed his ear on
the dog. and with sudden jump
leaped on the shoulder Of his owner
and commenced to use monkey Ian
guage. The dog was examined and
found to be dead. The people applaud
ed the victory of the monkey, and it
lookedas if the monkey understood it. "

Judge Ross rendered a decision upon
the validity Of the United States Grand
Jury indictments against strikers, which
the attorneys endeav0red to show were
not equitable or legal inasmuch as several
jurors held opinions unfavorabe to the
defendants. An appeal to have the in
dictments nullifed was made by the de-
PENDANTS attorney, but the Judge denied
the motion after stating that on careful
con sideration of the evidence he felt satis-
fed that none of the Grand Jurors were In
state of mind which prevented them
acting impartially and without prejudice.
What Juror Sweet said was that strikers
who engaged in the destruction OF private
property ought to be filed full Of lead.
This decision removed what appeared to
be last ray of hope for the strikers, and
its effect was depressing on them.
