PLANTS THAT DEAL DEATH.
Two Destructive Members Of the Vege-
table kinudom,

There is II plant in South America,
which has all the worst qualities of a
nelodrama villain, and infinitely
"knotter," and Is well known to. and
avoided by scientists. On the ap-
proach of any living object the vine
casts out its tentacles, and twines
round it. 1t is then dragged into the
heart of the foliage. while its flesh is
burnt into by the clutch of the ten
tacles. When there. the creatures
inices are drained in manner remi.
niscent of the vampire of romance.
The insidious villainy of the plant has
been tired by sending a dog or other
animal into its clutches, and, judging
from the agony inflicted on the poor
animal, the pain appears to be worse
than it is possible to conceive.
Another vegetable murderer is a
grain called "bhat." 1t is much like
rice, and grows with it in the Orient.
Trading on its resemblance to the
popular grain, 1t gets mixed with it.
and is devoured by the unsuspecting
Oriental. A few grains of it are
enough to bring on most horrible
death. The first symptoms of its in.
auence are state of virulent mania.
At first the victim becomes drowsy
end, later, suddenly cheerful and gay.
Then he goes raving mad. and expert.

The Intoxicated Cows,

Rarely has anything more painful
been seen than the exhibition CT Ger
tain cows in German village. BY a
lamentable mistake somebody put
some alcohol into their fodder, and
when the authorities came TO milk
them they were found reeling about
the field in platoons, wearing on their
now animated faces the merry ex.
preston OF those who do not go home
till morning, till daylight doth appear.
The episode recalls the story Of the
priest who told an Irishman that he
ought 20 initiate the cows in that
those respectable animals were never
seen in a state Of intoxication. 'Ah.'

added type equipment to the machine
of two different vertical marks adjust.
ed so as to strike at two certain
points relatively to the position of ad.
joining or adjacent characters. These
give greater satisfaction and are more
convenient and expeditions to use in
"ca1lityping," as this new way of
using the typewriter is called.
The illustrations herewith show
what can be done by the use of such
vertical liners in typewriting. These
illustrations were callityped on one
unchanged writing machine, and in no
case was the paper touched with the
hands, from the time it was inserted
in the machine until the engraver's S
copy was finished, with the exception
of center matter in the calendar, which
was callityEed on separate sheet
and inpasted, as were also the treble
and bass clefs (clipped inpastings) in
the music illustration.
The type for the side vertical is so
engraved and positiCned that 1t will
strike at the left of the following char
acter and midway between that char
acter and the one Immediately preced-
ing, as shown in the cut lettered "A"
In ''B" the center vertical is centrally
engraved and positioned, so as to
strike between two characters, one
space distant from each other. "C' is
self. explanatory and 80" shows how.
where letters or columns are an even
number Of spaces apart, side vertical
liner is used to secure midway posi-
tion Of perpendicular line. and where
letters or columns are positioned an
odd number of spaces apart, the center
vertical is used.

DEAD MAN STEERS A SHIP.
DESERTED in Midoeean, His Hand still

Gently sighed mastless derelict
about 100 miles southwest of Queen
Charlotte islands.
Although at first it was thought
there was no one on board, n figure
was at length made out crouching in a
kneeling position at the wheel. The
captain of the Arietis accordingly
hailed them when within distance and
proffered assistance.
Receiving no answer, however, and
noticing that the steersman never
shifted his position. he lowered boat.
the derelict. He found that the man
was quite dead and had apparently
been so for some time, but his rigid
hands still grasped the wheel and
guided the vessel on its course.
He had evidently been deserted by
his crew in a storm, and as last
fOrlorn hope had lashed himself to the
wheel. Some food was found close
to him and also two or three bottles
of medicine. showing apparently that
he was i'll when his long watch began.
The name of the schooner was the
Gen Sislin, bound from San Francisco
to Alaska. She had on board the
complement of six sailors and five pas
sengers. The body of Capt. Saunders
was duly buried according to the rites
observed at sea.-Exchange.
