ExpIosIon Of a Flower.

Sometimes the floral spathe of a
great palm tree will fly open With a
sound like a detonation in a mine.
Such an event occurred in the botan-
ical garden in Algiers recently. The
spathe, nearly three feet long. was
projected to great distance and for
some moments the head OF the palm
tree was wreathed with golden dust
formed of the debris of the flower. The
suns heat had roasted the flower to
the color of rust The director OF the
garden explained the explosion as be-
ing due to fermentation in the flow
er caused by the extraordinary dry
ness OF the air A violet sirocco had
Just passed. In Algeria ostrich eggs
explode in the same way and from a
like cause-Harper's Weekly.
