The Death Orchid of Venezuela.

THE death orchid of the Venezuelan
Indians has been proved to be no
mere campfire yarn.
There years ago, an orchid hunter,
Grayson, set out to find "El Lugar de
los Flores Venenosos," that is, "The
Place of the Poisonous Flowers" which
was said to be located in the dense and
painless wilderness occupying the vast
stretches between the head waters of
the 0rinoco and the Andes. Two weeks
passed without any incident out of the
ordinary. But one morning there was
a perceptible smell of flowers in the
air. When the orchid hunter and his
Indians camped that night, the Jungle
smells had been entirely lost in the cloy-
ing scent. Many of the band refused
to go further.
"As Grayson and the Others proceed
ed, the rankly sweet and oppressive odor
became stronger, attacking the senses
like a narcotic. One after another, the
remaining Indians collapsed, till only
Grayson and the guide were left, push
ing onward. The orchid hunter felt as
il he was being attacked by the insid-
ious power of opium, but retained enough
CONSCIOUSNESS To become aware, tnat,
cleaning through the trees ahead he
saw flowers of huge size and vivid
eolors, many-hued clusters of them hang
ing in trails.
at was the death orchid.
when he recovered his senses, he
found himself being carried back to camp
where the rest of his porters had re-
manned. Many Of the band were severe
" sick, and many half-witted with the
continued effect of the scent. Suburb

FOR EXTENSION TO BRATTLEBoRo
Connecticut River R. r. Asks Right of
New Hampshire Commission.

Concord, \. H., June 1.-THE board of
public service commissioners gave a hear
ing yesterday on the petition of the Con-
necticut River railroad to extend its
lines into Brattleboro. The road asks
permission to build a bridge across the
Connecticut river to carry its lines into
Brattleboro in order to connect with the
Vermont Valley railroad, which is owned
by the company, and will give the rail
road through line.
If permission is granted, it will do
away for the timebeing with the neces-
sity of building the extension authorized
by act of the legislature and will save
the corporation the cost of that extern
sion, some S2.500,000.
