NEW PLANI DISCOVERED.
blossoms Are Shaped Like a TaranA
tula and Give Out a Deadly
ChIOrofSrm Odor.

A wonderful tree of unknown variety
has been discovered in mountain can
yon in a spur of the San Jacinto noun
tains, down near the Mexican line.
The leaves of the tree resemble, in
size and shape, the fig leaf, but they are
Of wildly purple color, and the I'M
der side of the leaf is thickly covered
with stiff hairs, which stand out from
the leaf fully half an inch. These
hairs are sharp and thorn-like, and cas-
lily penetrate the skin, and when they
do SO, they are poisonous, causing SWELL
ing and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are of
a rusty red color, and are about two
inches in diameter. In shape they are
a very good representation of the taran-
tula. There is huge hairy bulb, in
shape resembling the abdomen of the
poisonous spider, and there are several
chives or stamen corresponding to the
legs of that insect.
The most peculiar features ofthe plant,
however, remain to be told. When
ever one approaches the plant or when
the wind agitateS the branches of the
tree, the flowers give off an abundance
of perfume-heavy, sickening and dead
ly. This perfume has the quality Of
chloroform, and a few inhalations of
the odor produces Inconsistencies. The
prospectors who made the discovery Of
the plant were rendered insensible upon
approaching the tree to examine it.

mond was made captain Of "The
Jumping Jupiter" He accepted the
position and promised to discharge
the duties to the best of his ability.
He admitted an unfamiliarity with
craft OF THE Jumping Jupiter" class,
but was confident that che" would
prove seaworthy. Once away from
shore, they caught the benefit of
tide and breeze, and swept out to-
wards the gateway. Mr.. Pence took
one long look towards the rock
where he had spent three awful
hours. AS they approached the out
let of "Morton's Bay" Sidney gave
his first order. He glanced at the
white breakers and shouted:
''Man the oars!"
Six of the men stood at the long
sweeps. A critical moment was ap-
preaching. They were headed
straight for the surf. Sidney saw
that there was a heavy swell rolling
in. He stood by the tiller and issued
his instructions in calm voice.
when I give the word bend to
your oars and row as hard as you
can," he said. "There is not any
danger, but we must help counteract
the force of the surf We shall make
it readily enough. All ready? Row."
The bow of 'The Jumping Jupiter"
rose slightly as the first incoming
roller struck the raft. Mr.. Pence
was the only one not at work, and
he looked at the foaming combers
ahead with eyes lifted in terror.
the cliffs, and to Sidney's delight the
boat was under good Roadway. The
men pulled vigorously at the sweeps.
The bow of "The Jumping Jupiter"
sank in a way that was sickening to
Simon Pence. The next moment
green wall of water fell with crash.
Socks" gave shrek which was
smothered as the water rolled over
him. The raft groaned from end to
end. There was sound of breaking
glass.
"Row! Row hard!" shouted Sid
ney. For an instant the boat wal
lowed backwards. Then q strong
gust of wind filed the sails and
everyone bent to the oars. The next
wave did not break
"Once again!" shouted Sidney.
There was a big wave coming. It
lowered overhead, but broke before
it reached the boat. There was
smother of foam and roar like that
of Niagara, but "The Jumping
Jupiter" was not to be stopped. In a
few seconds they were past the dam
ger line and out in deep water, where
the swells rolled in regular lines
broken only by ripples caused by
the breeze. The oars were taken in
and fastened to their places.

How He Chose His Calling.

a New England clergyman what were
his intentions for the future of his
vigorous youngster who was playing
on the lawn. "Well," he said, my
wife and / believe in natural selec-
ton and letting a boy follow the
bent of his mind. To find out what
that was we left him in the sitting
room one day with a Bible, silver
dollar and an apple. [ said, If when
we come back he is reading the Bible
I shall train him to follow me as a
preacher; If he has pocketed the doll
lar I shall make banker of him; il

turned he was sitting on the Bible,

THE IRISH CURSE.
An Authority Tells of the Common
Belief of the Ancients Regard
ing Their Effect.

An Irish authority thus defines as
an expert the effects of a well deliv-
cred curse: "The belief among the
ancient Irish was that a curse once
pronounced must fall in some direc-
ton. If it had been deserved by him
on whom it is pronounced it will fall
on him sooner or later, but if it has
not, then it will return upon the per-
son who pronounced it. They COM
pare it to wedge with which a
woodman cleaves timber. If it has
room to go, it will go and cleave the
wood, but if it has not it will fly out
and strike the woodman himself, who
is driving it, between the eyes"
There are three affairs inside the
cashel at Innismurray, Ireland, built
square of rough loose stones and
having on the top of them a number
of curious, round, smooth stones.
These have been used for cursing
by turning them and the natives are
very superstitious about them.
One mode of averting the curse was
for the person against whom the
stones were turned to have a grave
dug, to cause himself to be laid in it
and to have three shovelfuls Of earth
cast over him, the grave diggers at
the same time reciting certain
rhymes.

to make the trip to the mainland in

SOME LARGE BOTTLES.
Hold Forty-Five Gallons Each, Stand
Six Feet High and Are Sixteen
Inches in Width.

In attempting to turn out huge bot
tie to send to the st. Louis exposition,
the glass blowers Of Alton, ILL.,, have
capacity of Is gallons each, which are
believed to be the largest bottles ever
blown.
AlonZo Miller made the first big bot
tie. Other glass blowers then strove
to Guido him, and attempted to make a
big bottle, without a mold, in order to
give it greater size. Valentine Reinin-
ger, Jesse Steelman, and John Metz un-
dertook the task, and with only shaper
to fashion the bottoms, they blew YES
sells capable of holding 45 gallons each.
It was task of one hour to make each
bottle.
Forty pounds of molten glass were
drawn from the furnace, and shaped on
the end of a long blowpipe. In order to
accomplish the feat, the glass had to
be reheated many times in the furnace
as it was being blown in plastic
state to the size and shape desired.
Many unsuccessful attempts to form the
big bottles were made before complete
success was met.
All the air used in blowing the bot
ties made, about II 900 cubic inches in
each, was supplied from the lungs of the
blowers, who were making them, one
man blowing the bottle alone. The
chief difficulty lay in keeping the neck
of the bottle hot and plastic, as it was
cooled quickest by the iron blowpipe.
Many bottles were made, but most of
them were spoiled in the operation, and
were discarded. The four perfect ones,
which have been preserved for exhibit
ton, stand nearly six feet high, and are
about Is inches across at the bottoms.
The making Of these big bottles lis
recognized as a masterful feat in the
glass blowing trade. Glass blowers
from all parts Of the country have taken
great interest in the experiment, and
the makers of the bottles have received
many inquiries as to their methods. 1t
is a new line for rivalry, as it was here
tofore considered impossible to make
such big bottles, because of the difficult
ties in the way Of the blowers handling
such a large mass of molten glass;
