A Strange and Odd Plant.

One of the strangest and oldest of
plants known to botanists is one dis
covered in tho tropical parts of South
west Africa by DIR. Welwitsch and
sent home to Europe in 1868. A
writer says: SIT is not easy to convey
an idea of such plant; however, if
one will take an old saddle, cut the
flap into ribbons, set it on sand
dune with the ribbons of leather
spread out around it, and stick some
thing, crimson-coned at intervals
around the seat to represent the fructi-
fcations, scme idea of this queer an
omaly may be had, both as to its mp
pearance and the places it inhabits. "
The summit Of the plant never reaches
far above the surface, and it bear two
huge leathery leaves which sprawl on
the sand on either hand. Actually
four leaves are produced-the two
cotyledons which fall away while the
plant is still young and IN additional
pair placed at right angles to the coty-
ledons and persisting through the life
of the plant. In time they grow to an
extraordinary size, attaining six feet
in length and two to three feet in
breadth; they are green, and are torn
by the wind into numerous segments,
which spread out over the earth. The
plant attains more than q century in
age, and is one of the most peculiar
among vegetable monstrosities. Its
appearance might easily give rise to
some of the strange legends that at
tach to some little known tropical
plants. Detroit Free Press.

Caught the Entire Swarm.

Aqueen bee Thursday led her swarm
Of 1000 odd subjects right into the
heart of Rochester, N. Y, and tele-
graph pole was selected as the final
resting place of the swarm. Their
presence attracted large tbrong, but
it made many of thepedestrians some
what nervous to have a swarm of bees
lowering about them, and, though the
bees do not appear to have stung any
one, they were inclined to be altogether
too familiar for comfort.
Walter B. Bargy is man who has
passed his life in the care of bees, and,
as The ill luck of the swarm would
have it, he happened to be passing
along while they were cutting up their
antics. He determined to attempt
their capture. He took an ordinary
soap box and climbed to the top of the
pole. He was surrounded by the
insects, and they could have stung
him to death had they chosen to do 80.
But they seemed to recognize him as q
friend, and none of them interfered
with him. He set the soap box on
top of the telegraph pole and awaited
developments. In about half an hour
about half the bees were swarming in
side the box.
He climbed up again, slipped news
paper under the box, and took it down.
But he was not content with the cap
ture of only half Of the tribe. He
took the box across the canal and set
it on the pile of logs just under the
canal foot bridge. On the top OF the
boz he set keg, and this proved so
much more attractive that the bees be-
gan to leave the box and crawl in
thousands into the leg. The bees
which still fingered about the pole on
the other side of the canal crossed
over, and by night Mr.. Bargy took to
his home 1000 bees. They are worth
s15 or 800, so he had done a pretty
good days work.-Chicago Chronicle

A Useful Ant-Eater.

When horde Of yellow caterpillars
infested the linden trees atthe Zoolcgi-
cal Gardens last week, Head Keeper
Manley, who is in charge during tho
absence of Superintendent Brown, was
sadly puzzled for a way to get rid Of
the pests. Poisonous sprinkling mix
lures, tar and coal oil were applied to
the 5rees, but the results fell far short
of what had been hoped. The cater
pillars fourished in spite of all, and
seemed to increase in numbers. Then
the ingenious head keeper had happy
idea. He took the South American
ant-eater from its cage, and, securing
it with collar and a long cord, started
it up one of the trees. The way the
creature laid about with its long sticky
tongue, scooping in caterpillars By the
dozen, more than realized Manley's
greatest expectations. 1t took to
them with as much relish as though
they were its natural food, and in the
course of half an hour completely
cleaned the tree. Manley put the ant
eater up another tree and it ate until
it was gorged. Since then it has been
turned out three times day, and SO
great have been its industry and appe-
tite that the caterpilIars are nearly
exterminated.- Philadelphia Record.
