E. C. Downey. an attorney Of Churu-
busco, Ind, who spent many months In
Central America, has recently received
from a friend in Guatemala one Of the
most wonderful species Of flowers
known to mankind. 1t is called the
rose Of hell and grows only in the
vicinity Of Antigua, near the crater of
the volcano of Fuego. 1t is looked
upon by the native Indians with su-
perstitious dread and is named the
..rose of helr' because 1t thrives better
near the steaming Fuego than away
from 1t.
The Indians regard the crater of Fu-
ego as the doorway of the Internal re-
gions and this flower as being pro-
duced by the evil spirits associated with
the demons Of the sulphurOus cline
where the souls Of the sinful all go.
The flower is very deadly and when
boiled into a liquid and given to any
animal death rapidly follows without
pain, as quiet and peaceful as sleep.
science does not record another in
stance where this wonderful flower is
found except in Guatemala, and the
only place 1t is found in that country
is near the doorway of the famous
Fuego volcano. Several universities Of
this country will send after specimens
of the rare flower and use 1t for ex-
periments and demonstration to the
classes In botany.

who take delight in sartorial changes
as frequent almost as those OF the
moon might learn a lesson from John
China man, with whom, even though he
be well off. it is felicity to wear his
prandfather's coat. Not only is the
communicating, shapeless blouse Of
his ancestor priced because it is his an
cestor's, but because of its intrinsic
value. The clothing usually worn by
the Chinese is of the purest silk and
costs anywhere from 500 to $3.50
suit. AS a nation the Chinese object to
wearing clothing of any other kind,
and centuries of experiment have
taught them how best to make up the
costly caterpillar thread into the most
durable form. On this account the Chi
nese dress, though of purer material,
has none of the sheen usually asSOci-
ated with silk, a popularity which has
resulted in the erroneous ideas as to
their composition.
All the garments are made in China
and are only exported for the personal
use of celestials in foreign countries.
Owing to their cost, however. they are
only purchased at long intervals, each
garment being of so durable a charac-
ter that they are handed down to the
third and even the fourth generation.

st I'm rs for Crushing Ice


The great and powerful ice-crushing
steamers Of the lakes are without ex-
ceptiOn car ferries-that is, they trans
port whole trains Of passengers and
freight cars from one terminal Of rail-
way line to the other, thus controlling
an important link where bridges would
be impracticable.
These ice-challenging ferries ply the
straits Of Mackinac, the Detroit River
and across Lake Erie from the Ameri-
can to the Canadian shore. They are
hug, steel-shod craft weighing several
thousand tons and some of them have
cost more than $35O,OOO each. Fitted
with propellers at either end, they
crumble the ice by the pressure Of their
bulk as though its three or four feet
were but the thickness Of a cardboard.
Whatever else is wanting, adventure
is not lacking in the lives Of the men
who spend the months of snow aboard
the majestic monsters which are to the
lake tracks what the snOwplOws are to
the railroad lines. A few winters since,
with a thermometer ranging from IL to
go degrees below zero. one Of the car
ferries was caught in an immense ice
field on Lake Erie and fiOated around
for a few months with great mass of
ice piled mountains high around her. A
portion of the crew was, Of course,
Obliged to remain aboard and each day
a couple of the men made an attempt
not always successful-tO go ashore in
order to secure provisions and supplies.
Ofttimes this meant a long. dreary trip
across the ice. and frequently, when
yawning chasm of dark-hued water in
tervened between the shore and the
edge of the icefield, the foragers were
not able to return to their imprisoned
comrades for intervals Of several days.

sRu,n PRESSED THE BUTTON.

Sylvan Scene Strangely Produced in
the Back Woods Of Maine.
John H. Lewis, of this city. says the
Boston Globe, q photographer. who
spends his summers in the region
around Moosehead lake, has developed
what il probably the only picture ever
taken by a black bear, for bruin really
did take the picture. He held the cam
era, focused the thing. and pressed the
button. He held the camera wrong
side up, however. and his paws must
have shaken from the looks Of the
print.
Last August . party Of six friends
from Plainfield. N. j., passed a fort
night In camp on the upper west
branch, occupying the log cabins at
Sears High Landing, SO called. In so
large a party there was considerable
refu, food, and this was dumped about
a mile from the camp in the woods.
The garbage pile failed to grow, and
the campers were at q loss to account
for its disappearance. Finally one of
the men made up bis mind to go to the
scene and watch for the animal that
came around regularly every day to
feed on the crusts Of the table. He
went to the point one morning and sat
In the bushes and waited. Soon he
heard a noise, and in q minute or 80 a
big black bear appeared. Then came
another. and finally 4 third. They ate
all of the garbage and then went away.
The Plainfield man conceived a desire
to photograph the animals. He put up
a job with the cook, and the next morn
inS a good half bushel Of truck was
scattered for the benefit Of the bears.
The camera man loaded and cooked
his machine. sought a favorite spot and
waited. He had not waited long be-
fore two bears numbered out Of the
woods and went to work cleaning up
the potato peelings. bacon rinds. etc.
The man watched the brutes for a
while, and then, slipping from behind a
tree, tiptoed toward the animals, hold
ing the camera in such position that
he could press the button when the
bears saw him approaching. When
within twenty fest Of the animals they

AMONG MOST DEADLY PoisoNs.
Terrible Fate Of Those Who Partake OF
Mushroom Phallin.

Terrible Fate Of Those Who Partake of
Mushroom Phallin.
Zone Of the most terrible poisons Of
which l have any knowledge" said
chemist, ''is phallin, of which but few
persons have more than the most rudi-
mentary knowledge, though the veg
etable from which the deadly stuff
comes Is to be found In almost every
field and swamp in the country. For
phallin is the poisonous element in the
deadly mushroom, the death cup as
1t has been appropriately called. Not
only that. When phallin was first dis
covered it was found that 1t was al
most identical with the poison of the
rattlesnake, SO that death from mush-
.oom poisoning is very similar to death
from a serpent's bite. But still more
wonderful, it Is now known that vari-
GUS bacteria produce nearly the same
poison-the bacteria, for instance, OF
diphtheria and typhoid fever. 1t seems
odd enough that death from the poison
Gus mushroom, from a rattlesnake bite
and from diphtheria should result from
practically the same cause.
TT Is said that twenty-five people
are killed every year in the United
States by eating the death cup, mistak-
ing it for the edible mushroom. 1t re-
uuires only a bit Of the death cup to
kill-a piece the size Of pea viii do it.
One case is cited in which a boy ate
only third of a small unc0Oked cup Of
the deadly mushroom, but 1t was
enough to cause his death. Indeed, SO
baneful Is the phallin poison that even
the handling Of the death cup and the
breathing Of the spores may produce
serious illness.
"The death cup looks very pretty as
It grows in the fields, and when eaten
It has not the slightest i'll taste. either
when raw or when cooked. Nor is
there any uneasiness felt from nine to
fourteen hours afterward. Then come
terrible pains in the abdomen, nausea
and vomiting. followed by almost GER
tain death. with many Of the symptoms
Of Asiatic cholera. The effect Of phal-
lin is to dissolve the red corpuscles in
the blood, permitting them to escape
through the alimentary canal. The
greatest care Ii necessary. therefore, in
gathering mushrooms not to pick any
Of the death cups. They are easily rec
ognized from the others, and there new
er is any need Of making mistakes"

This remarkable bit Of vegetation is

1t lay nearly all winter in dark closet.
but with the approach Of spring began
to manifest signs Of life. 1t was taken
from its resting place and put in a
peach basket, with nothing about 1t
but some newspapers. Very soon a
mottled green stalk pushed out Of the
bulb, and in a few days had reached a
height Of eight feet. OF this height the
blossom, which was a beautiful dark
maroon color. comprised four feet.
After the blossom had withered and
died the bulb was planted, and from
1t grew a nest Of great umbrella like
leaves, which reached their maturity in
July and August. In September the
leaves perished and left nothing but a
new fat bulb. This was stored away
In dark place, and again in the spring
the bulb is brought to light to pass
