mis- friend, Professor y. T. Brown Of

don. The amazing plant which Mr.
Suverkrop has now found Is an orchid
that takes n drink whenever II feels
thirsty by letting down a tube into the
water, the tube. when not In use, being
colled up on top Of the plant.
"One hot afternoon" says Mr.. SUI

wood at the side OF a lagoon on the
Rio de In Plata. Near at hand was
forest OF dead shorn trees. which had
actually been chOked 10 death by or
chid5 and climbing cacti. In front OF
me, and stretching over the water OF
the lagoon and about a foot above ii,
was a branch Of one of these dead
trees. Here and there clusters Of com
mon 'planta del ayre' grew on 1t, and a
network Of green cacti twilcd around
It.
Among the orchids | noted one DIFF.

lancehead shaped, growing all round

the centre or axis Of the plant hung n
long slender stem abOnt One-eighth of

the lower end of which was in the
water TO depth Of about four inches.

How Wellington Wa. whipped,

Many military hero would dread
to have told the story of how he was
taught to win his battles. Especially
would he dislike the reminder If the
lesson had come in the form of
sound drubbing at the hands of girl.

picked up the following story of Ar
thur Wellesley at the Trevor home
stead. upon the Welsh frontier
Memories of the great Duke of Wei
lington hang about the place, for his
grandmother was Il Trevor, Lady Dun
cannon, and here the future conquer
or of Napoleon was wont TO spend his
holidays when a boy at Eton
Here. too. he experienced the most
serious defeat of his memorable ca
reer; for. falling into a quarrel with
a farmers son over a game of mar
bles. he became engaged in n hand
to-hand fight. The future Duke was
doing we'll and was about TO hoist
the flag of victory, when the farmer
boys big sister came running out with
a wet towel
The advent Of the PruSsians at
Waterloo was scarcely more fortunate
for the Duke and his friends than the
arrival of this staiwart girl was for
his boyiSh enemy Nor, according to
all accounts. was the defeat of the
French more crushing than the utter
discontinue of young Wellesley upon
this Cccds sion.
