A PECULIAR PLANT.
Leeward slam Its Leaves When
Broken Grow Mose Plants.

Consul Ayme, at G~audaloupe, has
transmitted an interesting report to
the state department on q peculiar
plant growing wild on the island. He
says that il any leaf be broken from
it and pinned TO the wall in a warm
room each Of the angles in the undula-
tons Of the leaf begin to throw out q
number Of white threadHike roots.
Next a tiny plant begins to sprout, and
this in two weeks attains a height of
two or more inches. When the leaf be-
gins to shrivel, which may take from
six weeks to three months, the Young
plants may be cut out with scissors and
put In the ground, where they rapidly
attain full size. When cultivated they
attain a growth Of four feet and pro-
luce graceful red and yellow flowers.
The consul expresses the belief that
1t Will make a desirable dollhouse or
garden flower. His report. with speci-
mems OF the leaves, has been submitted
TO the agricultural department.

TEMPERANCE SALOON.
Funds to Test Ills Theory In
New. York City.

What many Of Bishop Henry c. Pot
ter's friends call his twentieth CEN
fury saloon" is now assured. The last
dollar of the fund Of $4,000 needed to
start the work of providing a substi-
tute for the saloon, which shall have
oil the attractions of the saloon, minus
intoxicating drinks has been contrib
uted> Carpenters will begin the work
of tearing out the heart Of the six
story building at 1871 Bowery, and as
speedily as possible it will be fitted up
as Squirrel Inn No. l."
Bishop Potter hopes in ten years
there will be in New York city a SPUR
rel Inn No. 100, and they will solve the
great social problem of providing for
those who like TO patronize the saloon
something they will like better.
Bishop Potter believes the saloon ex-
lists because it meets a want, but he also
believes it meets it in a way destructive
of home and all the name stands for.
His idea of a twentieth century sa-
loon is that 1t should be a big, CHEEKY !
place, accessible as the saloon. where
a man may get a clean, well-cooked !
meal at n cheap rate, some form Of en-
and where he can read his
newspapers, smoke his pipe, and talk
with his fellows, with a freedom tenn
pered by good behavior-a place that
will only differ from the saloon In that
t sells no intoxicating liquor.

ICE FROM NOZZLE OF HOSE.
pia More Damage at McTague, WE.
Than the Fire That Was Being
Extfnauished.

When the wind was blowing o terri
bic gale and the thermometer was II
degrees below zero a fire broke out In
the only hotel In McTague, Wyo. The
guests Of the house escaped without in
Jury and saved nearly all of their G-
fects.
The feature Of the fire was that the
extreme cold made it an exceedingly
difficult matter for the department TO
cope with the flames The water was
forced through the pipes to the nozzle,
but as 1t left it was quickly frozen into
cakes OF Ice. These had no effect on the
fire, and the frame building was al
lowed TO burn 10 the ground.
An effort was then made to save adj
joining buildings by giving them a very
thorough ducking, but the owners OBJ
jected, on the ground that the ice was
doing more damage than the water
good. The chief Of the fire department
refused to desist playing on the build
ings, giving as his reason that If he
stopped pumping the water would
freeze in the hose and render it useless.
He declared that the only thing he
could do would be to pump water until
the weather moderated.
In the meantime the street from curb
TO curb had become a sea of ice, and an
impromptu skating rink was presented
to the citizens. Fortunately the wind
abated and the fire engine was stopped
and the only damage done by the fire
was 10 the hotel.
In the meantime. however, all traffic
Is suspended on the main street, and In
It's stead the whole population Of the
began to block business by enjoy
ing the winter pleasure on an impro-
vised rink. A game OF hockey was be-
gum but the police interfered after half
a dozen ~plate-glass windows had been
broken by the enthusiasts.
The loss on the building was about
Il 900, but the damage to property by
the unusual conditions presented will
exceed several thousand dollars.
