THE VAMPIRE VINE.


A Plant That Drains the Blood of
Living Animals.
The octopus has hitherto been regard
ed as the most hateful and horrible of all
created things. There has, however,
been discovered In Nicaragua a plant
which is as fearsoms as the devilfsh. II
Is a vine called by the natives ''the
devils snare" and it seems literally to
drain the blood OF any living thing which
comes within its death dealing touch.
A naturalist who has recently returned
from Central America relates the finding
of this singular growth In one of the
swamps which surround the great lakes
of Nicaragua.
He was engaged in hunting for Boz
tanical and chronological specimens
when he heard his dog cry out as II In
agony from a distance. Running to the
spot. he found the dog enveloped In a
network OF what seemed to be a fine
ropelike tissue of roots and fbers. The
vine seemed to be composed Of bare in
terlacing stems, resembling the branches
Of the weeping willow denuded of leaves,
of dark hue and covered with a thick
viscid gum that exuded from the pores.
Drawing his knife, he endeavored to cut
the animal free, but it was only with the
greatest difficulty he succeeded in sever
Ing the feshy. muscular fbers. To his
horror and amazement the naturalist
then saw that the dogs body was blood
stained, while the skin appeared to have
been actually sucked or puckered In
spots. and the animal staggered rs II
from exhaustion.
In cutting the vine the twigs turned
like living, sinuous fingers, and it re-
CURED no slight force to free the hand
from its clinging grasp, which left the
flesh red and blistered. The gum ex-
uding from the vine was of a grayish
dark tinge, remarkably adhesive and Of
a disagrceable animal odor. powerful and
nauseating to inhale. The native sery-
ants manifested the greatest horror Of
the vine. which they called "the devils
snare" and were full Of stories Of its
death dealing powers. Its voracity Is al
most beyond belief. its power of suction
