seems to have gone crazy over plant
culture was found wandering about tho
city by the officers yesterday after
noon. When discovered he was walk
ing along one of the streets near the
Central depot picking up different
kinds of grasses. weeds and every
species OF vegetation Of which he then
had handful.
He claims his name Is John Pandlcr
and his place Of residence the south
east part OF the state. He says he
stopped off In the city yesterday on
his way to his farm where he studies
botany. horticulture. and agriculture,
and where MS he claims. he has a
Hortus- Siccus Of foreign plants that
are worth Il fortune. He was talked
to for few minutes by a newspaper
representative and gave out some IN
teresting things relative to his So
called latest achievement.

this" and he handed the reporter q
small, egg shaped nut. You have new

rived much pleasure watching its
gradual maturity. For instance. the
shell, when soaked In turpentine. vii:

OF the shell liz filled with fluid which
