Bullet Shooting Plants.

Many common garden plants shoot
bullets, not so big nor so hard as those
shot from gun, but they go quite as
far and are as effective proportionate-
ly. If the plant which shoots them
were as big as gun, these vegetable
bullets might do great damage. AS it
is, battles take place between plants,
during which the bombardments are
fierce enough while they last. The
common wistaria had beer known to
shoot bullet over fifty feet.
This curious property is the result
of nature efforts to scatter the seeds
as far as possible. Many plants have
seed pods which are held, SO to speak,
in state Of tension. AS the plants
grow its fibre become stretched until
when the seeds are fully developed
the retaining capsule bursts open vio-
lently and the seeds literally are bur-
led in every direction. The wistaria
has seeds which in size and shape are
much like pistol bullet, and as the
plant loves to grow ON hillsides and on
eminences, the distance these vegeta-
bic bullets travel before touching the
ground is very great. When the num-
Der of plants is large and they all
shoot off together, mimic battle takes
place which must be alarming indeed
to the small animals in the neighbor-
hood. One can imagine the con-
sternation Of the squirrels and the
birds during the time when the black
pods are flying. IF one of these bull
lets were to hit bird in vital part
it would undoubtedly injure it. The
wild geranium is another plant that
hurls its seeds in all directions.
The story is told of an invalid who
had placed some wistaria plants on
mantle near her bed and forgot them.
Some time afterward, when she lay
sicf in bed, her family heard her
scream out, and rushed into the room
to find her in nervous, frightened
condition, exclaiming that bullet
had been shot into the room. She
was soothed and quieted by assn
RANGES that such a thing was impossible.
But later in the day she cried out
again, this time insisting that bullet
had struck the window pane and had
come across the room. Sure enough
the "bullet" was found at the foot Of
the bed. When examined it turned
out to be wistaria pod. Then she
remembered the wistaria on the man
tel. They had ripened and shot their
seeds. One had gone across the room
and struck the window pane and
bounded back to the bed. The dis
tauce as measured was thirty feet.

Absent-Minde aen.

There have been great many stories
about absent-minded men, where one
forgets his house address, another
what business he is in, and where an
other has to refer to the mark on his
handkerchief before he can remember
his own name. There is q farmer
named Rogers in the North. who pos
sessed Jersey COW which he used to
drive, morning and evening, to and
from the pasture, not far from his
home. One morning as one Of the
neighbors was passing along che road, |,
he met Mr.. Rogers walking in the
middle Of the lane, his mind apps
rently engrossed With some weighty
question. The neighbor called out:
