The Monkeys Dinner Bell.

Nature has hundreds Of queer ways OF
scattering seeds broadcast, but none OF
them is more peculiar than that OF q
South American tree called Hura crepi-
tans. A celebrated naturalist, In speak
inc of this remarkable tree, uses the fol-
lowing language: "A curious instance OF
seed scattering shooting them from the
pod) is afforded by Hura crepitans, hand
some tree which is quite common In the
valley of the Amazon. This tree has q pc
culiar fruit, somewhat flattened, with a
deeplv furrowed or fluted body, made up
of a circle Of many cells, each containing
one seed. When the seeds are ripe, the
cells open and expel them with loud re-
port; hence the fruit is sometimes called
the monkeys dinner bell.
"Stories have been told of hura fruits
being placed in desks and subsequently
opening and discharging their seeds with
such violence as to break ink wells, ana
even to crack the wood of the desk"

A On Maurier story.

One of the best stories told of Du Maui
rier Is this from the English journal
Lloyds, as related by correspondent;
"There was some years ago In Hampstead
road a pavement artist, now dead. Du
Maurier often dropped a coin into the poor
mans hat. One cold day the author OF
'Trilby' told him to leave his pitch and
20 to the model soup kitchen In Euston
road to get some food. Du Maurier, as q
Joke, consented to take charge of the mat
When the man was out of sight, he pro-
ceeded to wipe out the pictures of battle
scenes, faithful dogs, etc., and commenced
drawing portraits In chalks of the society
ladies and gentlemen made famous by him
in Punch. Passersby stopped to look and
remunerated the deputy, and when, an
hour later, the man returned he was
pleased to find SO much In his hat, but re-
aretted that his work had been destroyed.
This may attract some people, but 1t amt
art, he said to the amused Du Maurier as
he commenced wiping out the society
males and females. Now, this pleases
every body, he continued, drawing the pio
ture of soldier.
