A Drinking Orchid.

A strange species of orchid has been
found in South America along the Rio
de la Platte, the land of peculiar
plants and flowers. This particular or
child whenever it feels thirsty takes .
drink by letting down tube into
the water. When the tube is not in
use it is colled up on the top Of the
plant. 1t is highly interesting to
watch the working of this plant. When
it feels that it needs water the tube
gradually unwinds itself until it dips
into the water. Then it slowly coils
round and winds up, carrying with it
the amount of water contained in that
part OF the tube which had been i'm
mersed, until the final coil is taken,
when the water is dumped into the
heart of the plant. Then the tube re-
mains coiled until more water is re-
quired.
The plant grows at the edge OF q
stream directly over the water or
where the water has BEEN. Where the
water has dried away it is almost
pathetic to see the tube work its way
over the ground in search Of moisture
to nourish the plant.

One day this week American horses
and jockeys took seven places in the
first three races at EPSON, including
all three places in the first race, said
the Chicago American in a recent is
sue. The next day an American jockey
riding for an American sportsman won
the English Derby for the first time.
Lord George Hamilton, the British
Secretary of State for India, has ex-
planned in parliament that the Indian
government is compelled to buy Amer
lean locomotives and bridges because
it can get better goods at lower prices
and in quicker tie than from English
manufacturers. Mr.. j. Pierpont Nor
gan is buying up the British mercan-
tile marine. American actresses have
just scored a new hit in London. Mr..
Carnegie is handing out S1O,OOO,OOO

Wall street supports the gold reserve
of the Bank of England and helps out
the British government when it wants
to issue a new loan. The English
magazines are full of gloomy musings
upon the decadence of the empire and
the transfer of industrial commercial
and political power to the western side
of the Atlantic. Perhaps when they
have pondered upon the subject lit
tie longer Englishmen may turn to the
remedy for their ills, which Mr. Car
negie recommended to them a good
many years ago, and apply for admis-
sion to the United States. They would
be spared a good many troubles in
such an event. II Ireland were state

merchant marine would get the bene-
fit Of the American navigation laws

New Jerseys
~ Famine

In colonial days famine once threat
ened what is now the state of New
Jersey. 1t was in the autumn of 1857.
BY failure of the crops the people
were driven to eating roots and nuts.
The Indians were disposed to be kind
to the people and gave them much as
sistance and taught them how to
make the best of the natural resources
of the country. They showed them
how to gather and prepare the oysters
and the CLAIMS and make the strange
potpourri that this generation knows
as clam chowdor. They taught them
the planl1ing of all kinds of fish (shad
we're not then obtainable). The In
dams were short of maize and in the
same predicament, but they being ma
tive to the forest were more resource
full. Conditions were better in the up
per part of the state. because there
was more direct trading.
There are no records to show that
anybody actually persisted during the
period of the famine. The facts of the
terrible condition in the Jersey colony
reached the sympathetic pilgrims and
Puritans, and early in the spring, just
as many, worn by the hardships of
winter, were despairing, a shipload Of
cereals and preserved meats came up
the Delaware river, and its cargo was
generously distributed. A general
Thanksgiving followed. The crops Of

A Daring
Exploit

The arrest of Admiral Mello in Rio
de Janeiro the other day on the charge
of conspiracy against the government
recalls the story of desperate and
dramatic exploit some years ago of
which he was the central figure. In
1893 Admiral Mello, says one familiar
with the incident, was in command OF
the Brazilian navy-which was Wn-
doubtedly the queerest conglomeration
in the world. II consisted of half
dozen old scows and one tip-top, bang
up, first-class battleship-the Aquida-
ban-the equal at the time of anything
afloat 1t was the admirals flagship,
and one fine day he astounded every
body by sailing into Rio harbor and
calmly sending word to President
Peixotto that he wanted his RESI- "a
ton. When PeiXotto recovered from
his establishment he told him to 60 to
-, and De Melo thereupon declared
the city under blockade. Rio lies on
the inner side of a large bay, with Il
very narrow entrance. There were no
guns at the town heavy enough to do
the big battleship any damage, but at
the harbor mouth there were two forts
that could easily blow her out of the
water. So De Mello had really sailed
into a rat trap. stalking everything on
the chance of blufing Peixotto out.
He could not shell Rio on account of
foreign interests, and for three solid
months he circled round and round
the bay, trying repeatedly to make
landing and dash into the city. He
was enormously outnumbered by the
shore garrisons and always beaten
back with loss, and eventually his

stance, the prime minister of the new
Commonwealth of Australia, directed
his secretary to say:
"Mr. Barton feels that it is perhaps
somewhat early to speak at present.
With your object, of course, he, like
every true lover of peace and concord
among the nations, has the fullest
sympathy, but he feels that process Of
thoroughly equipping with the means
of development the new assemblage or
states, of softening and removing jeai-
ousies and of the creation OF an Aus
tralian in place OF o provincial senti-
ment is so huge a task that he hardly
cares, just yet, to look beyond it. You
may, however, rely that it will be his
aim to do mis- utmost toward helping
the new commonwealth to progress on
lines that will fit her some day to take
a part in establishing that greater fed
Grafton that you have so much at
heart" And from the premier of West
ern Australia came the unequivocal
response: "Sir John Forrest also de-
sires me to say that you have his sym
pathy in the great work to which you
are devoting yourself, viz: The re-
union of Great Britain and the United
States of America" These express
sions are interesting in view of the
fact that Australasia is less in need OF
American assistance and better able
to stand alone than any other part OF
the British Empire.

Seed Life Exists Long.

That life may exist for tens of
thousands of years in the seeds of n
flower seems to be proved by the pres
ence on the banks of the Susquehanna
river of a strange and hitherto I'M
known plant, hav ~ beautiful bloom
something like that of the violet. The
discovery of the novel flower was made
by class in botany. The roots of the
plant wee embedded in coal thrown
up in a culm bank. A number Of bot
anists have examined the flower, and
nearly all Of them agree that it is
sprung from seeds which were embed
ded during the misty centuries OF the
coal age. The species when analysed
was found to belong TO the same floral
family as the common violet.
