mouth by tension the cheeks. and a tightening up
of the back of the mouth Then he suddenly opens
the lips they ready say p, and the explosion
of imprisoned air produced a loud and distinct "p"
Then the thrOatless patient is commanded to place
the tip of his tongue against his palate and to again

The pendulum method consists in the comparison Of
two penduums, swinging the surface of the

below there is difference in the time OF the swing
Thus the penduums differ in a definite fraction of

Odd Ways PLANTS LURE

A MoNG the strangest of an Natures
~ products are the inseeteating, or
a carpivorous plants, They actually
catch, eat and digest various insects by
process practically as thorough as that Of
the animals
The co-called Venus "fy.trap' or vegetable
butcher is one of the most remarkable of
these It grows in a wild state in the forests
of North Carolina. where it creeps along the
ground presenting thousands of gaping
mouths, into which the unsuspecting fly or
insect is lured and imprisoned
The leaves of this plant consist of two
valves shaped like clam shells, which, when
closed, form trap. The ends of the leaves
are baited with a sweet juice which attracts
the insect The leaves are covered with
minute hairs. which correspond very closely
to the arrangement of the nervous system in
animals on the edges of the leaves are
rows of long, fine teeth.
When the unsuspecting insect has been
lured to the leaf by the attractive Juice he
steps upon one of the microscopic hairs, and
presto, the two valves shut with a snap
keeping Mr. Fly secure.
