THE LIFE PLANT.
An Interesting Kind of Vegetation
Growing in Bermuda.

Harper's Round Table: Visitors TO
Bermuda often bring back to this coun-
try 2 souvenir of their trip the leaves
of an interesting plant of the houseieek
family. II is known as the life plant, and
when the leaves begin to shriVei and fade
they send out little shoots which in turn
bear leaves that continue TO grow and re-
main fresh and green for months. The
leaves are about four inches long. rich
green in color. and of a smooth waxen
texture. II you take one of the leaves
and pin it to the wall indoors it viii be-
gin to sDrout within three or four days,
be it winter or summer. st first the top
portion of the leaf will begin TO wither
and shrivel up. and this IS likely to con-
tinue until the upDer half has lost its
green color. Then tiny white roots Will
sprout from the edges, and in time dimin-
uUive green leaves will appear on these.
These little offshoOts will sometimes grow
to be an inch long. and contain several
pairs of leaves. The limit of their ex-
istence seems TO depend upon the amount
of heat and light they can obtain.

There was lively runaway at 1920
Tuesday. A two-horse team belonging
to Mr.. A. E. Conrad, of Lewisville
township, were standing in front of
the market house when they became
frightened and rushed off down
Fourth street. The wagon struck an
electric light pole near Mr.. Jacob
Tise's old home place which resulted
walk and uncoupling the wagon. One
With the running-gear Of the front
part of the wagon, the team turned
up North Chestnut street, crossing
the bridge Dear Bailey Bros. factory.
They made god time until they
struck the hill between FIFTH and
Sixth streets. Upon reaching the
latter street they went west until
they were stopped.
There was no one in the wagon when
the animals started The driver was
delivering some fresh meats and was
in the market house at the time One
dressed porker was in the wagon bed
and was not thrown out when the
bed was set off on the sidewalk.
A prominent citizen remarked this
morning that the Aldermen should
pass law against people leaving their
teams standing alone on the streets.

such an ordnance was passed several
years ago. 1t should be enforced.

found peculiar stone much sought
after by superstitious people, who be
lieve that the possessor of one of these
queer stones is perpetually endowed
with good luck. The STOKES vary in
size, and many of them are in shape
of a cross. This is perhaps the cause
of a legend that is related about
them 1t is told that fairies were
sent all over the world to carry the
news of the birth of Christ. After
the glad tidings had been spread the
elfs fashioned the stones into crosses,
as mementoes of their services. An
enterprising jeweler has taken adj
vantake of the superstition and the
legend, and is doing thriving bust
ness in the fairy stones, as they are
called
