From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
A very curious fruit has been discoV
cred growing wild in Batavia, and
sample has been sent to a French pro-
fessor of botany a Paris. 1t appears
to be a species of bean, resembling
cigar both in form and color, though
only about an inch in length. But it
has a peculiar characteristic which
renders it a very Unique and interesting
object, and this is~'the exceeding ener-
getic manner in which it scatters its
seeds: If one ofSthese little fruits be
thrown into basin of Iater it will
rest quietly on the surface for from two
to FIVE minutes, then it will explode
with violence, hurting most of its con-
tents into the air with noise and
splash for all the world like a small
torpedo. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that this phenomenon is. caused by the
pressure of the elastic substance of its
interior overcoming the resistance ofits
hard outer shell. .gis = IN
The fruit usually splits open length
wise. If plucked before maturity and
allowed to ripen in a warm spot, it
opens gradually from apex to base,
making. as it were, pair of diVerging
horns starting from the same point.
If left to ripen on the plant, since the
process is quicker and the internal
moisture greater, the opening is sudden
and accompanied by a slight noise.
though this is much less than that
which takes place when it has been put
in water. In this case the dry but por-
Gus tissue of the surface of the fruit
quickly vabsorbs the liquid. especially at
the grooves caused by the junction of
the two halves or outer shells of the
fruit. The internal tissue. being very
elastic, exerts upon the latter a tension
which soon results in the violent burst
ing already described The cllrjOuS
