SHOOTING SEED POD.
When Placed in Water 1t Explodes with
n Loud Crack.

When Placed in Water 1t Explodes with
Loud Crack.
1t is funny little brown pod about
the shape of cigar and only an inch
long. But if it is dropped in pail OF
water it will explode suddenly with
loud crack, and from the inside of it
shower of small seeds will shoot upward
into the air.
This pod is the fruit of a semi-trop-
ical plant of the genus justicia, and ma
ture has given it the power of bursting
so that it may scatter it's seeds far and
wide. Sometimes after it falls on the
water it will lie for some minutes quite
still and then burst with a sharp ex-
plosion. This explosion occurs because
the outer coat of the pod soalls easily
and this causes the hard inner coat to
bend and bend until it bursts. Nor is
this all of the wonder about the
pod. When the seeds strike the water

Nature is almost as kind to this plant

the old cow will come home with her tail
full of burrs? Well, that is one way
that the burdock distributes its seeds.
And sometimes the small boy helps, too,
by carrying handful of burrs around
on his coat tails.--Chicago Record.

Fifteen Year-Old Girl Who Is q Clever

OF all the girls in Westfield, N j.,
15-year-old Lizzie Willoughby is attract

New York Journal.
The Willoughbys are in good circum-
stances. The father is in business, but
the family's affairs are such that little
Miss Lizzie is regularly distributing the
milk of 10 cows and is building up
trade that is the envy of the IA milk

Regularly every morning Lizzie is out
of bed before five o'clock. Then she
hops into light spring wagon with an
Enclosed box top, having windows in
front and on the sides. There are two
Sits in the frame on the forward win

milk cans are in the forward compart-
ment. There's comfortable back seat
with cushions and blankets so that Liz
zie drives on her milk route pretty
much as If she were sheltered in coupe.
If chill morning happens along she
takes along lantern for a foot warmer.
"Of course, like the business" she
says. 81 wouldn't do it for moment
if I didn't. Father has plenty for us
all, but like to be doing something.
81 began this way: Several years ago
I went out with father in the wagon
just for fun. Then I took an interest
and began to do little things just 20
help, and before long 1 knew all there
was to do. After that some mornings
came along when father had very inn

went out with the wagon and made de-

A STEADY AIM,

on a little spit that reached out into
the lake, and against which, being OF
black bog, the white forms of the
geese stood out in striking relief,
while others were swimming idly about
or plunging their wedge-shaped heads
into the dark waters in search of the
Succulent roots and fibers which con-
stitute their food.
1t was difficult work stalking game in
this way, as the nearer the bolas-throw
er approached the lake the softer the
ground became. Step by step he
crawled, crouching low, until, peering
through the tussock grass, he found
himself within $50 feet of the flock.
Between him and the game was large
cluster of grass OF weeds, which he
finally reached.
The little island was found to be ex-
actly suited for his purpose, the grass
being six or seven feet high in the cen
ter, while from it, in the direction OF the
unsuspecting geese, the land extended
for 20 or 80 feet, almost devoid of veg
citation. Wringing tine black, wood
stained water from his clothes, the
hunter arranged his bolas, taking the
small ball in his righ5 hand and swing
ing the others over his left arm all
ready 10 throw, then plunged carefully
into the grass. Slowly he worked his
way until he could see the geese through
the green and yellow screen, barely 100
feet away, then dashed from his cover
and ran down the little island shore at
full speed, and before the astonished
geese c&uld recover he was almost
among them. They scurried off in every
direction, some Tapping furionsly over
| the water in vain efforts to rise; o5h-
| ers circling laboriously into the ain.
| To the latter the young hunter de-
| voted himself, and now stood leisuuely

Faster they flew, untia they finally dis
appeared from sight,; and then, the. air
being filled with geese, he released the
ball in his hand, and the remarkable
weapon, with it's three balls widely
stretched in opposite directions yet
whirling violently around, went
whistliIg into the ain. Up it went, and
with almost human Intelligence seemed
to glide in among the birds and wind
about them like the coils of snake.
One bird was stunned by blow from
the ball, while two others, completely
entangled in the cords, came ffuttering
down into the water, where they were
easily secured, q little later being fas-
tened to the horse and on their way to
the home of the herders, miles out on
the moorland.
The bolas is the natural weapon OF
the Spanish South Americans, who are
remarkably proficient and skillful with
it. They use it on the continent in TAX

on horseback. whirling the three OF
four balls in the air with very Ions
cords, and sending them so swiftly thai

around the legs of the bird and bringing
