Balloons in War.

During the expedition to the SCUBA
the balloon corps We're of immense ser
vice In disclosing the position and tac-
tics OF the enemy. In one particular
instance the Soudanese attacked Gen.
MacNellfs zereba learthworksJ, estab-
lished to protect the enyirons of Sua-
kim, near Tamai. The attack took
place during the night. and before help
could arrive most of the British SOL
diers were hors de combat. although
they just managed to keep the zereba
from falling into the hands of the enc
my. After this Maj. Temple made sew
eral ascents with his captive balloon
and detected the enemy in the bush
preparing to make another attack.
while the force in the zereba, thinking
that they had quite retired, were total
ly Off guard.
Col. Temper says that the sight of
the balloons has a very demoralizfng
effect upon the natives Of these coun-
tries, since they cannot find cover from
them to hide their movements. for even
at night they are easily detected from
the balloons by means Of the powerful
electric searchllghts carried in the car.
These natives are in the habit OF CRYING
out that they cannot fight against
troops REINFORCED with young moons. -

singular Plant of the East.

The Rose of Jericho Is one of the
most singular forms OF plant life 1t is
an annual and Is found In Syria, Az
RIGA and Arabia. During the growing
season 1t presents no strange charac-
teristics, but as the pods begin to ripen
on the approach of dry weather the
branches drop their leaves and curl In
ward, presenting the appearance Of
dead twigs. When completely ripe. the
iwhole plant looks like ball OF curious
ly constructed wicker-work at the top
OF short stem. The roots die, and the
plant Is carried 10 great distances by
the wind. When the apparently dead
and worthless ball reaches the sea or
any other water, or becomes wedged in
some place where rain falls on 1t, it un-
bends and the branches resume their
former position. The pods then open
and discharge their seeds hundeds Of
miles from the place of original growth.
The monks In Palestine call 1t "Mary's
Flower" from their belief that It eS-
,pands each year on the day and hour
of the birth of the Savior. 1t is also
known as the resurrection plant.
