Blooms Under Swiss Snow.

The soldanellas of the high Alpine meadows of Switzerland bore their way up through the coating of ice and snow by means of heat generated by the growing stem. Quite commonly, if the layer of snow is very thick, the flower will open without ever reach ing the surface at all. The blossom is in no way affected by its strange sur roundings. The space round the stem is, of course, thawed by the growing stem, which gives out heat.-Detroit Free Press.

Superstition That Is Ancient.

In many parts of Great Britain the superstition still survives that it is folly to save a drowning man, as he will sooner or later do an injury to the rescuer. The superstition comes down from our ancestors, yet traces of 1t exist among the Sioux and other h. dians, who seem to have inherited it from aboriginal sources. The belief is most prevalent in Cornwall and Var1- Ous parts of Scotland.
