A traveller in Siberia tells us about
wonderful plant found in the northern
part of that country, where the ground
il perpctually covered with coating OF
frost and snow. Ii is called the snow
flower, and the description Of its birth
and its short life reads like q fairy tale.
He says it shoots out OF the frozen soil
OH the first day OF the year and attains
q height Of feet. On the third day il
blooms, remaining open for only "a
hours. Then the stem, tho leaves and
the flower are converted into snow-in
other words, the plant goes back into its
original elements.
The leaves are three In number and
the flower Is star shaped On the third
day, the day the bloom appears, little
glistening specks appear on the extremi-
ties of the leaves. They arc about the
size of the head of pin and are the
seeds Of tho flower.
Ii is SAID that some of these seeds
were gathered once and taken TO st. Pc
tersburg. where they were buried in q
bed of snow. The first Of the following
year the plant burst forth and bloomed,
