Marvels OF Plant Life.
Nowhere is the evidence of design in
nature more emphatically set forth than
among certain forms Of plant Lille which,
i, their various functions, seem to ap.
nrosch so near the animal kingdom that
the observer feels that there IS some
strange plant misunderstanding that
might possibly form connecting INK
between the ANIMALS and plants.
In close study of these plants we see
nany evidences Of seeming intelligence
that are not found in some animals, and
so remarkable are the actions Of certain
plants that the impression is forced upon
US that we are confronted with intel
lieence, or something strangely akin to
it.
In the present paper wish to cril at
tention to the group which is populariy
known as carnivorous plants, or flesh
eaters. A familiar example is the little
drosera, so common in various portions
!; of the country. The plant is small and
inconspicuous. The first one ever 50 "
caught my eye by sudden fash Of fiery
| red light, aud kneeling on the damp
grass, I ia. rly caught the little carnivora
in the act which has rendered it so fam
Gus. There were several tender, delicate
stalks in the centre, ana around about |,
near the ground four or FIVE singular
round, pad-like objects, about the slz'
Of small buttons.
These were leaves, and their upper
surface was covered with reddish ten
tacles that stood boldly up, each bearing
g. delicate drop of dew that CLEANED anc
glistened in the sunlight like veritao'f
garnet. Across the top Of the leaves
lone legged fragile insect lay, caught
but a second before and dying a mos
terrible death.
Five or six of the hair-like tentacie:
were thrown across its legs and wings
holding it down and pressing its BODY
nearer and nearer to the leaf, while Other
rich blood-red stalks were in all posi-
tions, bending over to encompass tn
victim.
The sight was horror in miniature
| and reminded ME of the actions OF al
octopus or devildsh, as the little cepha-
lopod is commonly called. 1t has eigh
