When one thinks of all the board
inghouse breakfasts in the country il
is not surprising that more than 100.-
100000 pounds of prunes are eaten
yearly in the United States.
Prior to 1856 the supply came al
most wholly from France and the Dan
ubian provinces, and sold under the
designation of French and Turkish
prunes.
In that year prunes of American
growth appeared on the market and
with each succeeding year the supply
has increased. until the importation
of foreign fruit has been reduced tc
extremely small proportions
Most of our prune supply is from
California. In Santa Clara County
alone there are 100000 trees grow
ing on $1,000 acres, 100 trees to the
acre. The quantity of prunes there
exceeds 1100OO.000 pounds-more thar

Cnrnirorou. Plants.

One of the most interesting of that
little group of plants known as 'carniv-
orous,' from their curious habit of trap.
ping animals, and apparently feeding
on them, is the bladderwort. In July
and August its yellow flowers may be
seen adjoining many of our ponds and
bitches. The little narrow-necked blad-
ders which it bears under water, and
from which it gets its name. are veri-
table traps for the smaller inhabitants
of the ditch. The animals most fire.
quently caught in them are those min
ute crustaceans known as water-feas.
Occasionally. however, young fish is
fond inside. In recent number of
German scientific periodical W. Bath
describes plants Of the bladderwort
which have caught tadpoles. Some he
found caught by the head, and some by
the tail. In other cases the animal had
got entirely inside. 1t is found that
the imprisoned animal may live some
days inside the bladder.
