A MEXICAN BEAN CLOCK. "A
few years ago public curiosity was
excited by the curious beans called
the "devil beans Of Mexico" which
shopkeepers placed in their win
dows. They somewhat resembled
roasted coffee beans in shape and
color. They were also known as
the jumping beans" owing to the
tact that from time to time thew
made spasmodic movements which
propelled them quite a little dis
tance. The beans grew on small
bush in the Mexican mountains,
and it is conjectured that they be-
longed to the order Eushorbiace9.
The bean really consisted Of three
smaller pods which formed sim
gle bean. Il is usually a third OF
the bean which was exhibited as
curiosity. On opening the pods il
was found that il contained small
larva something like that fire.
quentlS found in chestnutS. It is
Lhia little occupant which gives
motion to the bean by its jerks and
thumps against the side OF its
home. II the bean is slightly
warmad, it begins to turn from side
to side and perhaps, with a sudden
Jump, turns completely over and
stands on one end, and then, by
successive jumps, moves quite a
distance. Those who are not in
the secret are often puzzled by this
strange bean. An enterprising
jeweler devised a scheme ol
utilizing them to make a magic
clock. He accomplished this by
initiating the shape of two OF the
beans, making the dummy beans
out of soft iron; one he gilded and
the other he silvered. The pre-
pared iron beans were placed with
the ordinary jumping beans on a
thin white piece OF paSteboard,
outlined and numbered like the
dial of a clock, but devoid OF the
hands. This dial was located over
the works of a large clock which
was placed iace upward on the
floor of the store window. He
fastened small magnets to the ends
OF the hands. The works were OF
course carefully hidden from view,
All chat was IN evidence was the
cardboard clock dial and the jump
ing beans, among which were the
gold and silver painted iron beans.
These were placed on the card
board over the concealed hands
with the magnets attached. The
magnets were moved by the hands
Of the clock so that they were al
most in contact with the cardboard.
AS they moved around, they car
ried the iron beans with them, thus
telling the time of day, and the
public was greatly interested by
the intelligence shown by the two
beans, which distinguished them
from their lively associates.-Sci-

Of Janet Device, old Demdike's
nine year old granddaughter. We
are told that when she stood up in
court to bear evidence against
Elizabeth Device, her own mother,
"Her mother outrageously
cursing, cryed out against the
chyld in such feAreful manner, as
all the court did not a little wonder
at her. 4" OF little use was
her cursing. In that age Of super
stitious cruelty, a witch, once ac-
cused, had no chance Of escape
however outrageously absurd
might be the evidence adduced
against her. In the trial Of Lam
cashire witches IN 1884, the ac-
cuser, a boy named Edmund Rob
inson, confessed. after the convic-
ton OF his victims, that his state
ments had been pure inventions.
Il seems probable that the Janet
Davis mentioned in this trial as an
accused witch is identical with
Janet Device, the malicious child
accuser of I6Ia.

A DANGEROUS REPrILE.-The
er.de-lance is found on the islands
Of Martinique and Santa Lucia,
where the natives counteract its
virus with a decoction Of Jungle
hemlock, and the basis Of its grue-
some reputation seems to be the
fact that il does not warn the i'm
truders of its haunts, after the man
ner OF the cobra or the rattlesnake,
but hattens its coils and, with
slightly vibrating tail, awaits
events, II the unsuspecting trav-
eller should show no sign of hostile
intent he may be allowed to pass
unharmed within two yards OF the
coiled matadore, but a closer ap-
proach is apt to be construed as a
challenge. and the vIvoron, sud
denly rearing its uPlY head, may
scare the trespasser into some mo-
tion Of self-defence; he may lift his
foot or brandIsh his stick in a men
acing manner. II he does he is
lost. The lower coils will expand,
bring the business end, neck and
all, few feet nearer; the head
points" like a levelled rife, then
darts forward with electric swift
ness guided by an unerring in
stinct, for the section Of the least
protected parts Of the body. And
the Vindictive brute is ready to re-
peat its bite. For a moment il
rears back. trembling with excite
ment, and, il felled by a blow Oi its
victims stick, will snap away saw
agely at stumps and stones, or even,
like a wounded panther, at its own
body.
