LUMINOUS BLOSSOMS.

Plants That Shine With Unusual
Brfllfancy ON Dark Nights.
From the Buffalo Commercial
Nearly every one is familiar with the
glow which is given out in the dark bv va
rious kinds OF fungi, but the fact that COM
mon, everyday blossoms frequently glenn
in the Eight time is not so well known.
The ordinary nasturtium is a simple Illus
tration OF the peculiar irregularity. The
marsh lily, which grows abuniantly in tina
marshes Of South Africa, presents the same
peculiarities. A Swedish naturalist. Hae-
gren. SO thoroughly believed in the property
of luminosity belonging to some plants that
he employed a night Waterman to roam his
garden to report to him any and all cases
OF glowing blossoms. The scientist, after a
good deal of study, announced that the
plants shine with especial briiliancy after
sunny day, while there is no light after a
rain. The light increases in intensity DUR
ing July and August, and appears half an
hour after sunset, vanishing at dawn: Hag-
gren went SO far as to subject the nastur-
tium to microscopic examination to dis
cover If any animal life were responsible
for the phenomenon. but no foreign sub
stance was found on the plants he exam
fned. Later scientists have discovered that
the glow extends to the nasturtium's leaves
as well as to the petals. The common mari
gold has been seen to glow brilliantly, the
light seeming to play over the petals with
quick changes. The fraxinella, of which
there are three varieties in our gardens,
the white, the red and the purple, seems to
excel all other plants in the quality of lu-
minosity. This plant secretes in abundance
an essential oil which in times of great
heat spreads in a thin layer over the sur
face of the petals, where it volatilizes. inn

Aziel; but oh, what a hound you are who

a laugh Then he called to his guard and
added: Let this man and his companions

Now Aziel was dragged from the tent and
thrust into a wooden cage, such as were
used for carrying slaves and women from
place to place upon the backs of camels.

self were laden upon camels that were
waiting, two cages to each camel. Then q

herself from the cliff edge to fall crushed

they burst like rushes. Then he leaped

Aziel rose from beside the corpse ami

into his heart that this man. whose evil
death Of his beloved, should still live upon

The order was obeyed, Aziel being set
down upon the very edge of the cliff. Close
to him a spur Of granite jutted out twenty
feet or so from its edge. At the end OF the
spur of granite a groove was cut and over
this groove, suspended by a thin chain
from a pole, hung a wedge of pure crystal
carefully shaped and polished. While Aziel
wondered what evil purpose this stone
might serve the slaves had fastened fine
rope to the cage containing the wounded
Hebrew soldier and secured Its end. Then
they set the rope in the groove of the gran

Of the cliff so that 1t dangled in midair.

chase his life at the price Of her own sur

what this might mean, the cage in which
