Plants That Shoot Arrows.

The arrows are crystal needles of
oxalate Of lime. They are of microscop.
lc Dimensions, and they are shot from
minute capsule shaped bodies found
In the tissues of such plants as the
Indian turnip and the Polynesian taro.
An extraordinary spectacle may be
viewed In the field of the microscope
when the bonds" contained in drop
Of taro pulp begin to discharge their
arrows. Sometimes only one or two
needles and sometimes groups of four
to ten were discharged at once, the
bomb recoiling as the projectiles left
1t. 1t has been suggested that the
Intense burning and pricking sensa-
tons experienced In chewing such
plants as those just mentioned are due
to the release and discharge of these
crystal arrows when the plant tissues
are crushed in the mouth.-Harpers

FIGHTING FISH.

In the Rage of Battle They Turn From
Dull to Brilliant Colors.
In the gardens Of Singapore 1t is the
custom to stock the ponds with all
manner Of queer fishes, many of them
of the fighting variety SO dear to the
heart of the orientals. This species Of
fish is so combative that 1t Is only nee
essary to place two of them near each
other, like lighting cocks, and perhaps
to irritate them a little to bring on
lively conflict.
They at once charge each other with
fins erect, at the same time changing
color In their excitement from the dull.
est Of gray green's to brilliant reds and
blues. Indeed, confinement in close
quarters is not needed to arouse their
combative propensities.
Place two glass jars close together,
with one Of these fighting fish in each
and they will at once swim round and
endeavor to charge each othert through
the interposed glass.
Even a single fish seeing himself re-
flected In mirror will dart at his
own image and, irritated all the more
by his failure to reach his supposed
enemy, will assume the most brilliant
hues. Seeing his reflected antagonist
do the same, he will redouble his eff.
forts to reach him. Exchange.

no further explanation:
August 4, 1911.
Mr.. W. F. Simmons,
Moriarty, N. NJ.
Dear Sir: Your letter Of the
31st ult. has been received. The
last legislature passed a fence
law which provides in substance
that unless lands are fenced in
the manner prescribed by the
statute, owners can not recover
damages for trespasses by ami
mails. Under some circumstances
it is possible, notwithstanding
this statute, that damage might
be recovered, as stated in an
opinion of the Supreme Court of
the United States in the case of
q. S. VS.. Light, decided on the
first Of May Of this year, and
from which | made a quotation
in a letter addressed TO the Gov
ern0r on June 18th, a copy of
which [ will enclose herewith for
your information.
In addition to this, Section SO
of the Compiled Laws of 1897 is
still IN force, and you can un-
doutedIy see q copy at the office
Of your justice Of peace. By that
section, it is made unlawful for
owner Of the cattle to allow
n to run at large from the first
o. March to the end of October,
and may be prosecuted criminally
for doing so. Under Section 1855
Of the same Compiled Laws, for
each offense the offender may be
fined not exceeding $500. A few
prosecutions under this section
might have q restraining effect
Upon owners Of animals which are
