An Elusive Water Lily.

The water lily of the Amazon has
very elusive habits. The buds open
twice, the first time just a chink at
the tip in the early sunrise hours. a
sort of premonitory symptom. On the
following evening it spreads its four
sepals with such alacrity that you can
see them move. But the big white bud
among them remains unchanged until
4 O'Clock in the morning. when it hur-
riedly spreads its blossom wide open,
remaining in this condition only half
an hour Within the hour it has near
" closed, and by another hour and q
half the entire flower has been drawn
under water by the coiling of the stalk.

Invisible Indians.

All Indians seem to have learned n
wonderful way Of walking unseen,
making themselves invisible like GER
tain spiders, which, in case of alarm,
caused, for example, by bird alight-
ing on the bush their webs are spread
upon, Immediately bounce themselves
up and down on their elastic threads
SO rapidly that only blur is visible.
The wild Indian power Of escaping
observation. even where there is little
or no cover to hide in, was probab bly,
slowly acquired in hard hunting and
fighting lessons while trying to ap-
proach game, lake enemies by surprise
or get safely away when compelled to
retreat. And this experience transmit
ted through many generations seems
at length to have become what is
vaguely called instinct.-John Muir in
