the ponds with yellow flowers, sets most ingenious
trap for capturing minute aquatic insects. Attached
the summer they float the surface of the water
as we'll as serve for excellent traps, Indeed, these
little bladde-s are tipped with bristles which
through keeping up current producing motion
in their direction, draw closely to them the
desired prey. The mites then enter the bladders
by pushing inward the free edge of their valves, or
little hinged arrangements, which, being highly elias
tic, then instantly snap shut. Hope for the in
trude1-s future thereafter must be abandoned The
bladderworts, however, unlike the sandew and
Venuss fly trap, cannot digest fresh food. 1t is only
after putrefaction that they absorb the fluids of
their victims.

Some Other Trap Settlers

0THER curious, and beautiful as curious, trap
~ settlers are the commonly called pitcher plants,
trumpets In sphagnum boys these plants are
found, and over an extended range, although it is
not always the same form which occurs in various
places. The particular feature by which they all
may be known is that their leaves folded to-
gether closed at the bottom and open at the top,
and thus appear to resemble either quaint pitchers
or long, narrow trumpets. The pitcher plant most
generally found throughout the Northeastern States
the form of pitchers and over their tops are erect
little hoods. They besides are lined with purple,
and their taste is strongly for insect life. About

Work of the Death Trap

THE ant and other minute ior1ls of insect life
eagerly endeavor to take their fill of this fluid.
They have given little heed to the bristles, which,
soon as they are slipping, close on them with
grasp strong and relentless. Even curious as
this catching and holding its victims is the sundew's
purpose to digest and assinate them as food.
Over the trapped mites it throws complex fluid,
secretion from minute glands OF the leaves, and
which through chemical analysis has been found
to be almost exactly the the gastric juice
in the storlachs of animals.
1t is in the sunshine that the mechanism of the
sundew's leaves be best, since they are
then sensitive to the irritation of their visitors
Indeed it is possible to carry of these plants
home from bog, rePlant in some well suited spot,
and there watch its uncanny ways. Darwin
amused himself greatly by SO doing, and was even
malicious enough to disturb the plants digestion,
for days at time by feeding them raw meat and
poisonous matter. After such useless rebellion
they able make the plants naturally sickened
and died.
Venus's fly trap (Diouad mnscipnla), the well
known plant which inspires the curiosity of most
visitors to botanical gardens, is related closely to
the sundew, it being the beautiful member of the
family. In neither of these plants however, is it

ing to one plant.
The plant whose flowers show a trap
of astonishingly fine mechanism, and
which at the same time covers its stems
and chaices with sticky substance, is
the mountain laurel (Kdln,id latifolid).
The trap here is merely for the purpose
of forcing the bee to carry its pollen,
while the sticky hairiness of the other
parts holds to death such small pill
ferers as would be unable to render
the plant any service.
There are in each petal of these lovely
flowers two depressions, or pouches, in
which the anthers at the ends of arched
flaments are held down snugly. The
instant that the bee aights on this

DR.. Gray, in quoting an observer of these strange
traps. puts forth the idea that the trumpets
ton is possessed of narcotic properties, and that
flies slipping thereof show signs of intoxication.
Other authorities, the contrary, have failed to
detect such evidences in the trumpets victims and
hold rather that the watery liquid in which they
finally drowned replete with anesthetic proper
ties Indeed, it has been found that fly dropped
into this fluid either will be killed outright else
paralyzed, in often shorter time than five minutes
Some if not immersed too long, likely to revive
in the course of an hour or So Almost invariably
the leaves of plant form its trap, when the object
is to catch insects for nourishment; but if the pu--
pose is simply to prevent pilfering, STEMS even
the flowers have occasionally been found to be en-

their openings these pitchers coated with
sweet substance which naturally acts as lure
to hungry little intruders. They explore, sip,
and go on exploring until they pass the bound
airy line of sweets, and come to where for
space the surface is highly polished. Nearer
the depth of the pitchers their roadway changes
to one over myrads of stiff little bristles,
pointed downward. Turning in hope of re-
gaining the sugar land is futile, since the bristles
are as keen as unguarded swords. Indeed al
though the descent has been enticing and easy,
so bristly an ascent is impossible Escape by
flight is also beyond the power of the smallest
insects since they are unable to lift them
selves SO perpendicularly on the wing. Even
insects of considerable size give up the strug
gle to free themselves, and miserably perish

the white bloom which attracts. Their
trap like leaves are the real marvels.
Those of Venus's fly trap present as bait
no sweetened dewdrops, but nevertheless
catch the fly's eyes through the brilliantly
gay color of their leaves Innings. These
traps are sensitive, and divided through
their middle as though by hinge. When
a fly alights on their inner surfaces, they
snap at once, and as the bristles about
the edges dovetail exceedingly close to-
gether. the fly within is held securely
prisoner. Indeed, ere long he is covered
with a secretion and made ready for di-
gestion in a way similar to that pursued
by the sundew. At Kew, and also at the
New York Botanical Gardens, these
plants occasionally have been so overfed
with flies by those eager to watch the
working of their traps that they appar-
emily have lost their constituencies, and
refused to show off until the equanimity

been gathered for their startling
bloom and odd leaves.
The trumpets (Sdrrdeenid
fldud) of southern boys bear large
and strikingly attractive yellow
flowers, while their leaves, folded
as trumpets, occasionally grow
as high as three feet. 1t perhaps
is owing to this distance from the
ground of the sweet secretion
which shows itself in abundance
about the trumpet's lid and rim
that it is continued externally
along the folded edge or wing of
these leaves, down to the very
ground. Ants and other crawling
insects are enticed to tread the
honeyed pathway to the trum-
pets top, and once having
reached the polished inner lining
they fall to the watery depth
below. Flying insects naturally
alight at once on the lid or rim,
and in slipping the saccharine
solution soon lose their wits

despises You for your play With your
napkin, and your mustachc Is ont of
shape. And who can feel that the
evening IS going to be what he hoped
when he realizes that his shirt front is
smircIed with some relic OF the meal!
Indeed, dinner parties are really Il

struggle which does not always end
as do most things, In the survival of
the fittest. AS one can't speak with
