THE VEGETABLE SALAMANDER.
Fire Cannot Injurc the Rhopala, Hardy
Tree of Colombia.

There is a tree of Colombia, the
Phopala odOrata, of the order Protea-
ceae, which presents, says an article
quoted in Current Literature, a most
remarkable power of resistance TO fire.
In the district of Rolima il is customary
every year, during the dry season, to
set fire to the plains in order to de
strOy all the dry weeds that, during
rains, might interfere with the growth
Of the young and tender vegetation.
This periodical conflagration naturally
produces the most disastrous effects
upon the trees, which gradually disap-
pear without being replaced, since it
is difficult for an old tree to resist,
and still more so for a young shoot
of one or two years. A single tree
forms an exception, and that is the one
above mentioned-the Rhopala. Small,
distorted and scraggy, and having a,
wild and desolate appearance, this tree
not only does not suffer from the fire,
but derives profit therefrom. 1t grad
ually establishes itself in localities
abandoned by other trees and installs
itself therein. We have here very
typical case of a survival of the flttest.
1t, alone capable of resisting fire, wit,
nesses the disappearance of it's rivals,
ind is seen to gradually encroach upon
an always more extended domain. It's
resistance to fire is due to it's bark. The
external portion of the latter, more
than than half an inch thick and
formed of dead cells and fibers, acts
like a protective jacket with respect
to the more central and living parts,
and this assures it's triumph in it's

Pleasant Way of Selecting . Wife Prsc-
ticed In Naples.
In the church of Santa Maria Annun-
ziata, at Naples, girls assemble once a
year for the purpose of being chosen
IN marriage. On the day of Our Lady,
before its altar kneele silent row Of
30 girls dressed in black, and with
folded hands. They are orphans of the
neighboring founding asylum, and
once a year those who have reached
the age of 10 have chance of being
chosen in marriage by any honest man
whose character is good.
At the door leading to the sacristy,
says the Richmond Star, stands a
gray-haired priest, the head of the
founding institution. BY and by q
young man approaches him and hands
him q packet Of papers. These the
priest reads carefully. and, being sat.
isfied, leads the candidate toward the
row of girls. The man walks slowly
along the row-at last he stops; his
choice is made, and he stretches out ais
hand. The girl rises, puts out her hand
into that Of the stranger by way Of
consent, and together they disappear
into the sncristy. The ice having been
broken others follow, and this goes on
until the suitors ore exhausted, or all
the girls have been chosen.
