A curioun PInnt.

"a curious plant" said an eminent
botanist, sis the wild tamarind or iuba
plant OF the riverside and waste places
of tropical America, and very strange
are its effects upon the nonrumInant
animals that feed upon its young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. 1t
causes horses to lose the hair from
their names and tails, has a similar ef-
feet upon mules and donkeys and re-
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair is of different color and tex
ture from the old. so that the animal Is
never quite the same as 1t was. One
animal Of which personally knew
after feeding on the plant lost its hoofs
and had to be kept in sings until
they grew and hardened again. Rumi-
nant animals are not thus affected, and
the growth Of the plant is actually en-
couraged In the Bahamas as a fodder
plant for cattle, sheep and goats. The
difference is probably due to changes
effected upon it in the chewing OF the
cud."

The automobile question has received

owned by Simeon H. Mayo was familiar
object on the streets In the early fall.
While no accidents resulted, the general
opinion appears to be that il the town had
q vote, it would be two to one in favor OF
exclusion. The roads are narrow and
billy, and are unsuited for automobiles. II
would mean additional expense on the
part OF the town to maintain them for
automobiles. Among new developments
in the automobile situation is the fact
that seth w. Norwood, who is to be one
OF counsel for the automobile committee at
Augusta during the coming session OF the
Legislature, has recently associated with
him George r. Fuller, who has usually
in the past represented the opposition in
matters in which MIR. Norwood was in
terested. As individually in the past
in local matters they have been able to
put upa strong fight for any movement
which they represented, it is apparent
that good fight is to be put up in
Southwest Harbor for the exclusion OF
automobiles, and the result is awaited
with interest.
