Probably the most wonderful of all
the insectivorous plants is the Venus
fy.trp Dionaea muscipula). a small
plant found wild IN Carolina and Flor
ida. whence It was introduced to this
country in 1868. AS will be seen in
the Illustration. the leaves Of this
plant are formed Of two crescent
shaped lobes. the margins Of which
are armed with stiff. sharply pointed
hairs. the whole being not unlike an
old-fashioned steel rat trap.
When ready for action the two seq
ments Of the leaf should lie open and
nearly fiat. similar to the one in the
le.t-hand bottom corner OF the illus
tration. On the inner surfaces Of
these lobes. but scarcely discernible

plant. as at present known, derives
any real nourishment from its prey,
and this applies equally to all insec-
tivorous plants; but It is scarcely con-
ceivable that in the remote past its
ancestors should have gone to the
trouble Of developing this wonderful
apparatus without eventually reaping
some benefit from It.

PEN POPULATION
NOW, REACHES The LOO MARK
HIGHEST IN MONTHS.

At the beginning of the month of
March the population of the West
Virginia penitentiary was an even
LOO, the largest it has been since the
removal of the federal prisoners to
Fort LeavenwOrth, Kansas, several
months ago.
During the short month of Feb
ruary there was net increase of IS
in the prison population. During
that month there were 62 prisoners
received from the State courts.
There were SO State prisoners dis
charged, g on the expiration of their
sentence + parole, s conditonally

released on expiration of their SEN

largest number of prisoners during
February, sending IA to the peniten-

MONUMENT
WILL Be ERECTED IN NEW YORK HAR.
Dor, TO INDIAN.

a Dill introduced IN Doth houses OF
Congress providing for a colossal
statue of the North American Indian
to be placed in New York harbor will
be reported in the house on March /.
This measure was introduced by Rep
resentatiye Joseph a. GouIden and
Senator chauncey NJ. Depew, of New
York, and provides that there shall
be erected without expense to the
United States government, by Rod.
Wanamaker. of New York City, and
Others on United States reservation
in the harbor of New York, memor-
ial to the memory of the North Amer
lean Indian. 1t is further provided
that commission consisting of the
chairman of the committee on libra
ry, of the senate, the chairman of the
committee on library, of the house,
and the secretaries ofstate, war, navy
and interior, the encouragement
and Robert c. Ogden, of New York,
shall be created with full authority
to select the site in the harbor of
New York and suitable design, and
to contract for and superintend the
construction and the material.
This bill is the result of sugges-
ton made by Mr.. Rodman wanama-
ker, at celebrated dinner given last
May at sherry's New York, in honor
of Col. Cody, the famous Indian scout
The idea of erecting a statue of an
Indian, with arms outstretched in
welcome at the gateway of the New
World met with such instant enthus-
iasm, and there is little doubt, but
that the measure will meet with
unanimous support.
While the ways and means of pro-
viding money to finance the enter
price have not yet been decided upon,
it is expected that the statue will be
National Monument to perpetuate
the memory of the First American
and an opportunity will be given to
everyone who desires to contribute;
it is estimated that one penny from
every man, woman and child in the
United States, would furnish ample
means for its erection.
Already various tribes of the Order
of Red Men throughout the United
States have taken steps to contribute
their share to the general fund. 1t is
planned that each of the FIVE hundred
thousand members of the Order of
Red Men represented in the four
thousand tribes in the United States
contribute two cents each, which
would amount to $4,000. A pile of
copper cents amounting to $4,000
is far more imposing than SINGLE
check for that amount donated by
some one individual to whom it would
mean so little.
The idea of this statue originated
with NJ. Goldman Wanamaker, of
Philadelphia. during an expedition
made by him in 1908, for the purpose
OF studying the Indian on his own
ground. His first impulse was to pre-
sent the statue to the country, but the
concensus opinion is that it should
be national gift, and that every
child in the country be allowed to
contribute one penny in memory of
a race that is fast becoming extinct.
