demand for this class of work has led to the
OF miniatures in articles of jewelry. There

PLANTS THAT INITIATE KIN.
Methods by Which Illuminate Thing
secure Protection.

The methods of plants by which they
protect themselves from their enemies
by mimicking other plants which have
adequate protection are interesting in
deed. Rev. a. S. Wilson writes in
knowledge, London, rs follows:
Minlicry is perhaps more frequent in
the seed than in any other part of the
vegetable organisms; it occurs, however,
in other organs. and even the entire
plant body may assume a deceptive ap-
pearance. A well known example Is in
the white dead nettle which so close
~ resembles the singing Dettle in size
and in the shape and arrangement of
its leaves. In systematic position the
two plants are widely removed from
each other. hut they grow in similar
situations and are easily mistaken;
anyone who has occasion TO collect
quantities of lanium is almost sure to
get his hands stung by urtica, an ex-
perlence calculated to convince one Of
the efficacy of protective resemblance
Among animals ii Is species provided
with formidable weapons of defense
that are most frequently mimicked by
weak, defcnseless creatures. The sting
ing neitle is therefore very likely
model for unprotected plants to copy.
somewhat analogous case is the vel
low bugle of the Riviera, which has its
leaves crowded and divided into three
linear lobes, some of which are again
divided. In this the plant differs very
materially from its allies It has, how
ever, acquired a very striking resem-
blance to specie Of euphorbla. abund-
ant on the Riviera. The acrid juice of
the euphorh,as secures them immunity
against host of enemies. AS the two
plants grow together there is little
room TO doubt that like the dead net
tie, the bugle profits by its likeness TO
its well-protected neighbor.
