 Firing on Laguayara.

Berlin, June 13.-The Foreign Office here is without details of the reported bombardment of the seaport of La guayara, Venezuela, by the Fort and Venezuelan war vessels in consequence of revolutionary movements in the sub urbs.

 Express Messenger Webb of the fast mall tram was caught under the deDriS and died shortly after having been re- moved to a place of safety.
 Saw Train Coming.
 The story of the wreck told by the passengers on the mail train is a thrill ling one of being placed in position of being able to see the approaching dis aster. On account of the position of the track, there being double reverse curve at the place of the accident. the pas- sengers were able to see from the side of the cars the approaching accommodate ton train. They thought 1t merely a passing of regular trains, and did not heed the warning until the crash came and 1t was too late to help themselves. The accommodation train being the lighter one, was entirely telescoped, the ponderous machinery of the fast train blowing it's way through the cars and splintering them into kndling wood. Both engines had their position reversed and were thrown forty yards from the track.
 No one of the passengers was seriously l injured.

RECALCITRANT REPUBLICANS
 TO FIGHT CUBAN RECIPROCITY
PRESIDENT TO EXPLAIN
 THE ACTION OF GEN. WOOD

Roosevelt for more than a hour. At it's conclusion neither senator would say anything as to the nature of the talk with the President. Some questions exist It is said, as to whether a state ment will be issued from the White House concerning General Woods Cuban reciprocity expenditures, some doubt ex- isting as to the policy of treating the matter as of suffle. nt importance to warrant a formal official statement from the administration. It Is probable, how ever, that the statement will be given out.
 General Wood has not been summon ed to appear before the investigation committee as yet. The conference dis cussed the outlook for reciprocity legis- lation, in view of recent developments, but SO far as can be learned there is no change In the Presidents purpose.

A CURIOUS ORCHID.
Has a Trunk Like an Elephant and
Waters Itself.

AAeNo a NllAN Inv OH liz l'lltAAlA anu
Waters Itself.
A most curious and interesting orchid
has lately ben discovered by e. A.
SuverkrOp of Philadelphia while en-
gagged in plant hunting along the RIO
de la Plata. He was sitting by the side
of lagoon near forest of dead trees
which had been choked to death by
orchids and climbing cacti. A branch
of one of these trees stretched out in
front of him and about a foot above the
water. Upon the branch were growing
orchids, and among the rest there was
one which Mr.. SuVerkrOp had never
seen before. The sharp lanCeOlate
leaves grew all around the root and ra-
dated from it and from the center or
axis of the plant there hung a long tape
like stem, about an eighth of an
inch thick and a fourth of an inch
wide, This stem hung down in a grace
full curve, and about four inches of it
were under the surface Of the water
On going up to examine the new speCi-
men, the discOverer touched the leaves
and was astOnished to see the center
stem convulslvely coil itself into a
spiral like the spring of a watch. On
close eXamir alton and dissection it
was. found that the stem was a long
fiat tube with an opening at the outer
end and connected at the inner end with
the roots by a series of hair-like tubes
By observation it was found that the
purpose of this stem was to supply wa
ter to the roots When the plant is
thirsty the proboscis is gradually I'M
cOiled and lowered until the tip is filled
with water, then j. iG gradually coll
ed up again, carrying with it the water
which, as the last coil is made, trickles
out upon the roots at the other end. Mr.
SuverlTOp found many other species
of this orchid, some of them growing
over places from which the water had
been dried up by the sun. Speaking OF
these he says: 1T was almost pitiable
to see how the tube would work its way
over the ground in search of the water
that was nOt."-BostOn Transcript.
