An Animal Flower.

The inhabitants Of st. Lucia have
discovered a wonderful plant 1t
grows in a cavern, in an immense ba-
sin of brackish water that has over
flowed from the sea. To the sight it is
a perfect flower, but on the approach
of a hand or stick it retires quickly
out Of sight.
Close examination shows that the
middle of the f1ower-like disc is pro-
yided with four filaments, which move
round the petals with brisk, spon-
taneous motion. Each Of these fla
ments is provided with pinchers for
receiving prey. This animal flower
lives upon the spawn of fish and mar
inc insects. Whenever the pinchers on
the filaments make catch, the petlas
close and there is no escape for what
ever has been so unfortunate as to
fall into the creatures nav.

PIRATES NEAR CANTON, CHINA.

VANCOUVER, B. c. (SpeciaD.-Pirates con-

waterways is paralyzed by sea robbers.
The last desperate encounter was at Cum

Vegetable Giants.

Imagine O flower nine feet around
and with petals strong enough to sup
port a man. This mammoth grows In
Africa and has five large, thick petals,
surrounding a brilliant center, which
is encrcled by wide, high brim, and
which would make a bathtub large

There are giants among the grasses

der high are rare. In India there is a
species called Dab grass which reach
es above the heads Of the tallest men,
for it is fourteen feet high. And
there is grass four times as high in
the Indian forests. If trees are near
the boughs furnish it support. There
is. besides, q grass which grows 100
feet hight is the giant bamboo, and
the tallest in the world.
The Jericho weed in our own coun-
try is unique giant. 1t is globu-

feet in. diameter. Until fall it be-
havcs like other plants. but when the
winds of autumn dry its sap it goes
on a vegetable cowboy spree. Its dry

TRACK MEN MOVED down
Twelve Laborers Killed Just Outside
Of Jersey City.
FOG AND SMOKE RESPONSIBLE.

A Pennsylvania Railroad Express Dashes
Into Gang of Laborers-The Men
Did Not See the Train Coming and
Their Lives Were Crushed Out With
out warning-A Terrible Scene.
JERSEY CITY, NJ. (SpeeiaD the heavy
fog which settled over the HecEenssck
meadows Friday morning tss seflSssne eI-
press train on the Pennsylvania Railroad
moved down a gang Of track laborers near
the meadow shops, killing nine men out
right, mortally injuring three, and slightly
wouudinc three. The men all lived in Jer-
sey City.
The list OF killed and wounded is as fol-
lows: Killed-Frank Brodski, Thomas
Dougherty, Joseph Kormitsky, Michael
Lawless, n. Lucio, F. Lukoski, A. Puzio,
Frank Radinski Frank Stimsnski, Frank
Swasenski, Joseph Tollesello, unidentified
man, Wounded-Lawreuce Hoffman,
slightly bruised; Michael Miller, head cut,
but able to go home; John Wannel, heac
and arms bruised, able to go home. !
The accident occurred about o'clock.
The men were in charge OF Section Fore
man William Quirk, and were making re-
pairs on track No. 4. There were twenty
men in the gang. Foreman Quirk had sent
Thomas Dougherty up the track to give
warning of approaching trains, but
Dougherty was killed before he could give
any warning. The men had stepped from
the freight track which they were repairing
to permit an outgoing freight train to pass.
They stood on the east-bound passenger
track, The whistle Of the freight locomo-
tive and the noise Of the escaping steam as
she puffed along with heavy train behind
drowned the noise OF the approaching Mill
stone express, and the men did not hear It;
The locomotive dashed into the crowd
huddled together on the track, moving
them down. Legs and arms we're cut on
and skulls crushed.
Engineer John Van Nostrand stopped the
train as quickly as possible and backed up.
The bodies OF the victims were lying on
both sides Of the track and many OF the
passengers were nearly overcome at the
Sight. Information OF the accident was
telephoned to the depot IN Jersey City,
and O relief train was sent out fmme-
diately. In the meantime ambulances and
surgeons had bsen summoned from the
hospitals and patrol wagons from the po-
lice stations, and these were IN waiting at
the depot when the emergency train ar
rived. The wounded were taken to st.
Francls's Hospital and the dead to Speer's
morgue.
Van Nostrand has the reputation Of be-
ing one of the most careful engineers on
the road.

TRENTON, Ontario (SpeciaD.-A Grand
Trunk express train bound for Toronto
crashed into moving freight train neal
Murray Hill crossing, two miles west oi
here early Tuesday morning, and seyera
cars were smashed almost to splinters.
Twelve persons were killed and dozen OF

mar, Beleviile; Frederick Cohen, German
immigrant; C. Paulin, Chesley; A. Carey,
Cobourg, and B. Backus, Brockville.
A misplaced switch was the cause OF the
accident, the west-bound train taking the
wrong track, on which was the east-bound
freight. The train, which left Montreal at
O'Clock Monday night, consisted OF eX-
press, mail, and baggage cars; second
class car, one f1rst-class coach, and two
Pullman sleepers. The second-class car
was next to the baggage car and ahead OF
the flrst-class coach and sleepers. 1t was
pretty we'll filed with people, there being
twenty or more passengers IN 1t, ana haru-
ly any Of them escaped without injury.
Between Belleville and Murray Hill
crossing the road is single-tra"ked, tho
only piece of single track between Toronto
and Montreal. At Murray Hill crossing
the west-bound express usually leaves the
single track and takes the double track,
and it was about a mile and half west OF
this point that the accident occurred.
Whether the signals were right or not
will never be known from the en-
gineer or fireman Of the wrecked train,
for they are both dead. Both en-
gines were totally destroyed, and the
freight engine was thrown completely
over the passenger engine into the ditch
beyond. The engineer and fireman OF the
freight engine, Thomas lvens and AleXan-
der Toppin, both Of Toronto, jumped and
escaped with slight injuries. W. II. Brady,
engineer, OF Bellevllle, and John Med onald,
fireman, of Beilevile, who were in charge
OF the passenger engine, were killed.
