Owen. After a brisk controversy he
pronounced Judgment. What those

mistook for serpent was walrus.
Surely such M error would have been
the greater marvel of the two. Wal.

certainly. But nn easy explanation
was provided. This specimen had been
carried south on an iceberg; its ioat.

swimming back full speed towards It's

4 Formidable Water Plant.

The leaves OF tho Victoria Regia arc
very curious ia their structure. At
Shaw's Gardens, st. Louis. one sus-
tainod tho weight OF laiy OF FPS
pounds. ibis Leaf was about seventy
inches across. and had IA rim. OF. seven
inches deep. The plant was then about
three months old. This leaf, aside
irom it's rare aud curious beauty, ia
won iCriul in It's coutrIyauces. In
South America, whore II j. Mt home,
the streams II Is IN and their banks
aro alive with alliSators aud venomous
reptiles, and these great lily pads give
the only sure harDOr for man or beast,
says the Philadelphia Ledger
Examination OF the structure shows
the admirable adaptation. IN the un-
der side are great tubes with smaller
branching tubes, giving framework
OF air pipes. This serves to keep tho
leaf adoat and to sustain tho heavy
weight. But, more than this, each
tube and every portion of the under
surface is Tricky covered with long
and short stout prIckles, protecting
the fiber OF tho leaf aud whatever ia
upon the surface. However tempting
might DO the morsel above no creature
would brave this formidable arma-
ment OF spikes to secure II. The up
turned edgels undoubtedly to preserve
the leaf from fishes, for whenever this
Is broken or injured the water enters
and fermentation process begins,
and the leaf quickly becomes rotting
mass. Mr.. William Tricker, Superin-
tendent OF the water gardens at tho
II. A. Dreer plG e. at Rivertou, ". j.,
says this rim also serves to steady and
preserve the leaf in wind storms.
When in severe gales the pads OF
water lilies are thrdsaod about ana
broken, the great plates OF tho Vic
toria remain solid anl almost immoyl-
bic, serving almost to keep the waters
calm even in the face of the tempest.
At most they are only lifted by the
waters, and If N dropping back the
waves splash over into them the edges
are never under water, as the notches
at either side Will let tho surplus
water out and what remains only serves
TO steady It.
The ilower is peculiar and interest
ing. From the timo the tip OF tho bal
appears above the water until it opens
the growth is very rapid. The oior
Is stron Eest as the bud is opening and
comes in pu:ls. Like other or the
water lilies, 1t lasts only for three
days, is one day IN opening, one day
