One of the most remarkable car
nivorous vegetables in the world Is the
pitcher plant of the tropics. 1t is safe
to say at least that no other plant in
Its kingdom is more ingenious in catch
ing its prey and in disposing of it
afterward.
The plant is shaped very much like
a pitcher, with the mouth, of course, Mt
the top. The pitcher is moreover, per
fectly water tight and is usually well
filed with rain water. The sides are
very smooth and inviting.
The plant, thus equipped, lies in
wait, if the expression may be used,
until some fly or small insect enters
or falls into the water compartment.
SO smooth are the sides that when the
prey Is once in the water it has great
difficulty in getting out and, as rule,
quickly browns The insect is then de

famous racing stallion Henry Clay, Mr..
Patchen thought to put prohibitiye

him, and you may give me a dollar a
pound for him." Mr.. Wadsworth
promptly accepted, and rs the horse
weighed 1850 pounds that fixed his
price In dollars for what Mr.. Speed
evidently thinks one of the finest sires
in the history of the American turf.
The story is told of Henry Clay that
when Mr.. Wadsworth needed for his
sister doctor from Rochester, thirty
eight miles away, Henry Clay was har-
messed to n two seated wagon and did
the journey both ways in less than five
hours.
"Then again." Mr. Speed writes
''when Mr.. Wadsworth had a match al
