"A ROLLING PLANT.
California Cactus Which Blows Around
the Desert for Months.

.e tuS OSSSrI TOT MOnInS. #as tsE
Curious among vegetable growths
and one which is seldom seen by men
Is the rootless cactus of the California
desert, says the Technical World. This
plant, round, compact growth, rolls
about the level floor of the desert for
some eight Or nine months of the year,
tossed hither and yon by the winds
which blow with fierceness over all of
CALIFORNIA; sand plat during those
months.
At the coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in it's springtime, this cac-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
of which it was the plaything and i'm
mediately begins to put out all around
it small shoots, which in turn#become
cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
These young groWths increase in
size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet. These
roots, too, are small, but practically
lnnumerable, and they get every bit
OF moisture and plant food to be had
in the territory they cover.

Long Ways Around in Scotland.

Scotland possesses several other
railway anomalies, of which probably
the most notable is that of the sta
tlons of Mallaig and Kyle of Lo-
chaalsh, which, though only twenty
miles apart in straight line, are sepa-
rated by no less than $50 miles of
rail by the shortest route, viz, Crian-
lar1ch, Balquhidder, Perth and Invers
ness. Yet another Scotch incongruity
is that the nearest railway station to
the town of Port Ellen, on the Island
of 1slay, if we expect the small local
line at Campbelltown, is BallycastIe,
in Ireland.

African Natives Drum Signals,

All through the continent of Africa
the natives have very perfect sys-
tenn of signaling with drums, by which
means they rap out messages from
village to village, and it is quite won
derful how swiftly and how far they
are able to spread news. .
The drumming is always done at
night, when sound travels farther, and
as one lies awake On a still, clear
night the ear is often gently assaulted
by the low, musical roll from a drum
in the village near, and one waits with
pleasant expectancy till the answering
echo comes, muffled by distance, from
village sometimes two miles away.
