A few -inseeting eating plants have
been gathered from the swamp lands Of
North Carolina and California, and
others have been sent from India, Aus
tralia and Madagascar. Perhaps the
best known Of the group is Venus Fly
Trap. The leaves vary from one to
six inches long, and at the extremities
are placed two blades or elasperH. On
the inner walls Of these claspers there
are six irritable hairs any one Of which
receiving the slightest touch from an
insect is SUFFICIENT TO bring the two
blades together with such raDldity as

escaping. A correct idea o. how the
trap closes on its victim may be OBJ
tanned by bringing the two hands rap

firmly pressed between those Of the
other. This plant readily iiseriminates
between animal and other latter; this,
