Lamb Gourd Of samnrn.

In book called ''The Duke Of Hol-
STEMS Travels Into Persia and Mus
covy," published in 1886, there is an
account Of a curious vine product
called the lamb gourd," which runs
as follows: "In the neighborhood Of
Samara, Russia, there grows a gourd
which closely resembles a lamb in all
its members. 1t changes place in grow
ing as far as the stalk will reach, and
wheresoever it turns the grass withers
and dies. This change Of the gourd
plant the Muscovites call feeding
They further say that when it ripens
the stalk withers and that the out
ward rind Of the gourd is then covered
with a sort Of wool, which they use
instead of fur"
Scaliger also makes mention Of the
lamb gourd and says that It grows I'M
til the grass fails and that It then dies
for want Of nourishment. He also says
that the wolf is the only animal that
wtllfeed upon it.

A new and interesting device
for the determination of mosoui-
toes and gnats has been suggested
by an electrical engineer employed
by ThOs. A. Edison. According
to a writer in the Kansas CITY
Journal, this engineer was recent
ly engaged upon experimental
work in harmonic telegraphy. He
happened to notice that when th e
note given out by the instrument
reached certain pitch all the mos
quitoes in the neighborhood
came flying towards the apparatus.
The workman produced a uuanti-
ty of Ay-paper, with which he COW
cred the machine, and so succeed
ed in capturing thousands of the
noxious insects. The cause of
this queer musical attraction seem 3
to be that the note produced by the
machine was exactly similar to
that caused by the rapid vibration
Of the wings Of the mosquito when
flying. Sir Hiram Maxim has
since made experiments Of a SINH
lar kind, and found that a tuning
fork giving a similar note was
equally attractive 70 gpats and
in the neighborhood. /
