THE "DEvlL's MOOSE"
A Gigantic Flesh Eating Plant That In
Found In Nicaragua

Found In Nicaragua
Carnivorous plants are certainly
among the curiosities of tho vegetable
world. The poetical and religious Lin
n9us, who had occasion to study the fly
catching peony, found, in his astonish-
ment, no other namo to bestow upon it
than -Miraculum natur;n prodigy
OF nature). Since the illustrious Swedish
botanist, the mechanism of carnivorous
plants has been well studied, and par
ticularly by Darwin, who has devoted to
these plants u remarkable work They
arc usually of small dimensions, and do
not attain the size of one described in
the 'Bolletino del Naturalist -
NJ. Fabiano Carlo tells there of q gil
gAntic carnivorous plant that has been
discovered OH the shores of Lake Mica
Sngua by naturalist named Dunstan
He discovered this curious plant in the
following manner: Travelling with his
dog, he heard the animal give vent to
cries of pain. He advanced and found
his dog held by three black, sticky bands,
under which the skin was chafed till it
bled. These bands We're the branches of
new carnivorous plant. which Dunstan
calls the land octopus. The branches
are flexible, polished, black, without
leaves, secreting n visoous fluid and fur.
nished with great number of suckers
by which they attach themselves to thei.
victims. 1t might almost be believed to
be an octopus transformed into plant.
To extricate his dog Dunstan tried to
cut the branches, and succeeded, though
not without difficulty. and after having
his hands severely injured by the ten
tacles Of the land octopus. +" AS may
be realized, observations under these con-
ditions were not convenient to make.
and the naturalist was able to get few
facts concerning this odd plant. He
proved the presence of numerous suckers,
and found that the fetid odor of the
black sticky fluid that covers the branch
es serves to attract prey to the plant He
also was able to note similarity of char
acter with other carnivorous plants.
For instance, the LAND octopus" aban-
dons its prey after having sucked out the
nutritive elements. The natives of Cen
trail America call this singular plant by
the appropriate name of 1.-THE DEVILS
