BOSTON, July S.-The Plant line steamer

162 survivors of the French line steamer
La Bourgogne, which VAS sunk in a col
lision with the ship Croif arty shire off Sable
Island, last Monday 4
On the passage from Halifax La Bour-

A PLANT HUNTERS FIND.
The Most Striking Flower in Appear
ance Since the Victoria Regia.

The Most Striking Flower in Appear
ance Since the Victoria Regia.
From the London Mail.
A remarkable plant-remarkable both for
it's beauty and the circumstances under
which it was discovered by an adventurous
plant hunter-is on view at the Temple
show.
The Acalypha Sanderi, exhibited by f.
Sander & Co. of ST. Albans, halls from
New Guinea. 1t was found by M Micho-
litz, the famous plant hunter, who also
discovered the new moth orchid growing
out of the skeletons of Papuans, which lay
bleaching in the sun. NJ. MicholitZ was
travelling in a remote district of New Gui-
nea, inhabited by fierce cannibals, when
he came across a beautiful Towering plant,
which sprung up not only from the ground,
but from the tops of the mud huts of the
natives. The expedition was of sufficient
strength to overawe the savages, and NJ.
Micholitz, delighted at his discovery,
caused several specimens to be collected.
So sure was he that their beauty would
cause a furore in England that he accom-
panied the consignment over 5000 miles to
Singapore, in order to see that the plants
were safely dispatched from that port.
The Acalypha Sanderi is a green-leaved
species, with spikes of gorgeous crimson
flowers hanging from every node. These
beautiful floral spikes are from twenty to
thirty inches long, and as thick as an or
appearance has not been introduced to the
civilized world since the Victoria Regia
was transported from its African home.
All the year round 1t sends forth its glow
ing pendants, and as its-initial cost will be
small, 1t is likely to be popular with those
of modest purses who love the presence
of floral beauties.
Technically, the new plant is claimed to
belong to the family of euphorbiaceae,
which includes Hevea and Manihot two of
the caoutchouc trees, and the croton oil
and castor oil plants are the other two of
its kindred. Where startling and beau
tiful effect is wanted, as in eonservatories
plant houses, large staircases, there are
few growths in the plant world that can
equal it. Easy of growth, requiring but
little culture or attention, and perpetually
towering, when a more domesticated name
Is bestowed on the Acalypha Sandari, Lon
don and its suburbs may expect to be lit
up with blood-red lances of the New Guinea
plant.
NJ. Micholitz declares it to be the most
striking object he had met during his
travels.

BROAD TIRES FOR WAGONS,
exhaustive Tests Show Them to b.
Superior TO the Narrow Variety.

Superior TO the Narrow Variety.
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin
The use of the bicycle is affording an IL
lustration CT the operation of the broad
tired vehicle in keeping roadways in good
condition. This illustration Is conspicu-
GUS after showers. when it will be noted
that the tires of the bicycles beat down
ard harden the bicycle path much more
rapidly than the narrow-tired wagons re-
store the roadway proper to a smooth con
clifton. 1t is true that the action of the
Pneumatic tire is more beneficial to a soft
;oadway than that of the hard broad tire
but It's tamping effect is an Illustration of
what the wide tire does in comparison with
the cutting effect of the conventional mar
row tire-
Were 1t possible to substitute broad tires
for the narrow tires now generally used
the condition Of the average country road
would be improved in comparatiyeIy
short time. Not only that but the eff
cheney of the average draught horse would
be materially raised. Instead of cutting
to the soft spots in a roadway, the wide
tire congresses the soft earth and passes
over it. leaving the spot in an improved
condition for the passage of the next
wheel.
An exhaustive test of the broad and
narrow tire, made at the agricultural ex-
pertinent station Of the Missouri State
University, demonstrated that on hard
ways the strain required to haul a given
load was 33.l per cent less with the broad
tire than with the narrow tire On a
gravel road with a hard surface, there
was a margin Of 1873 per cent in favor
of the broad tire. On q road compos I'd
Of large quantity of sand mixed with
gravel. the margin was 45.5 per cent In
favor of the broad tire. Over a new. nm
used dry gravel road. the difference in
favor of the broad tire was 266 per cent.
The narrow tire required less strain for
haulage On road where water covered
the surface and loose sand from one tc
two and one-half inches deep was found
But while the broad tire required a greater
strain for naulage, 1t did no injury to the
road, whereas the narrow tire cut through
the soft earth beneath the water and de-
stroyed the surfacing. The broad tire was
also at a disadvantage on roads where
the hardpan was covered with dust, as the
narrow tire cut through to the hardpan,
while the wide tire pinched and heaped up
the dust and thus increased the strain of
kaulage. The broad tire also required a
greater strain on some kinds of mud roads.
But as whole, the tests were strongly IA
vorable to the use of broad tires fer the
average roads.
