Queer Fiiian Plant.

There is nothing under the sun quite
SO quaint, SO weird and witchlike as
the pandanus praires of Fiji. The
pandanus or screw plant, as it IL
called. Is a most grotesque specimen
OF the vegetable kingdom even at the
best and in the early stages of its
growth. In its very young days it is
OF an extraordinary screwlike shape,
and looks as though some kind Of
hand had taken hold of it's long
swordlike leaves and twisted then,
round and round. Later 1t straight

number of tall wooden stilts. Its 70
