Captain Hamlet Investigated the

while they were alive and then allow

found that the story is without foun-

Some Very Odd Plants.

There are few plants that have not
been utilized in one way or another
by mankind for food, paper, drugs, or
in other ways. Among many not SO
we'll known may be mentioned the
Japanese wax tree, bearing punches
of fruit growing like grapes which
contain species of wax used in max.
ing candles. Another tree, found in
the Pacific islands and known as the
candle nut, yields large quantity OF
oil, while the kernels are strung to-
gether on stick and lighted as
candle. The fruit of the candle tree
is between three and four feet in
length and about an inch in diameter,
and of a yellowish color. AS they
are seen hanging from the tree they
present the appearance Of a number
of wax candles. The telegraph plant,
which grows in India, is slender,
erect shrub, so called because of some
resem blance to signals in the motion
of it's trifoliate leaves-the two side
ones rising and falling alternately for
a time, and then resting. Sometimes
many of the leaves are in motion, and
sometimes only few, the greatest &C.
