brilliant red. The next pecnliarity to
notice is that while the flower opens
face downward, the divisions Afterwards
all turn backwards or mp, in the same way as
the petals DO i'll the cyclamen. In the mean
time the six stamens stand out horizontally
all round and the style bends Town at tight
angles to the ovary SO AS to bring the stigma
on a level with the anthers. The ovary has
three divisions and the style ends in three
small branches.
In connection with the turning back of
the perianth divisions, it should be noted
that each division is furnished with a strong
keel, which shews both inside and outside.
We may suppose that the inner part of the
keel enIarges or the outer plrt shrInks, OF
perhaps both, when the turning buck takes
place.
So far as known to the present writer
there are very few specimens of the above
plant to be seen in the Danish West Indies.
which may be owing to the fact that it ap-
pears to be rather dit1icult to grow. s.
handsome and curious Il plant is, however,

The MaIconi Wireless Company have re-
quested the cancellation of the contract for
the erection of the Imperial wireless stations,
alleging dissatisfaction that only an interim

the company is prejudiced by the worldwide
publication Of detrimental testimony, with

investigation has been completed and mean

unlawful to pay twenty eight years royalty
for a fourteen year patent. The DAILY
News" says, if the contracts are cancelled.
the points to be settled are, 1st, whether an
Imperial wireless system is necessary, and
End, how urgently needed. 1t thinks there
has been no evidence of q bad bargain or
c0rruntiOn. Comment Is generally fayOur-
able to the company's position, because it
is believed the witnesses were mostly scan
dial mongers and not experts, and that the
company were not given an opportunity to
reply before the interim report was prepared.
In the House of Commons on Friday Il

opponents of the measure held IN the Queens

A CURIOUS CLIMBER.

Plants get far the greater part of their
food from the air by means of their leaves.
The leaves are like SO many small factories
III which the plant food is prepared and
from which it is conveyed to all other parts
of the plant. 1t has been found that access
to the light is a very important condition
for these little factories to carry on their
work efficiently. Const quently all plants
struggle to obtain for their leaves q good
exposure to the light. Trees, by their height
and expanse, seem TO have little trouble, and
much the same may be said of bushy
plants and even the humble weeds that
grow III open spaces, but plants with
slender and pliable stems might easily
find themselves crowded out if it were
not for the different devices with which
they are provided to enable them to lift their
leaves into the light. The well known prick
les on the rose bush, which most of us no
doubt regard as a meaningless disadvan-
tage, present a good example. We fnd
that out when we see the wild rose
Of Europe, (the dog roSe) climbing by
means of its prickles among the other
plants of the hedge row. The possession of
such prickles by roses in general suggests
that the climbing roses stood first in order
Of time and that those which no longer climb
are descended from them.
We often find other examples of plants
climbing by the aid of prickles. In Europe,for
example, the we'll known blackberry brambles;
in the West Indies the Cockspur, which is
common in st. Croix along the borders of
our East End roads. We find the same de-
vice in a large lowered solanum that may be
found here and there in our gardens.
But this device is not the only one that
we find among plants with slender stems.
A common one is the twinipg habit, which is,
possessed by very many slender stemmed
plants, as for example the many kinds of
ipomua, commonly known as convolvulses;
here IN st. Clolx, for example, one with
bright yellow blossoms, others with different
shades of blue, others again pure white and
the Noyau vine with its beautifully divided
leaves and its delicately striped corolla.
Then we have another device in the ten
drile, like those of the grape vine, which
are in reality small branches to which
is allotted the special task of sustaining
the plant on which they grow. We see an
illustration of this device in st. Croix in
the well known pudding leaf" and in a very
remarkable form of tendril possessed by a
near relative which may be seen climbing
up trees and walls by the roadside at La
Grande Princesse. In this last named case
the tendril is at first inclined to curve, but
if it fluids nothing TO take hold of, it forms
at the end a little gum yielding disc, which
presses itself against the bark of the
tree or the surface of the wall, and
