FLOWER FIRE.
Some Plants VIII Emit a Mysterious
Radiance at Times.


Radiance at Times.
The most wonderful-it might almost
be said spiritual-a attribute of flowers is
neither their beauty of color or form
nor their fragrance, but. strangely
enough mysterious radiance that
sometimes surrounds them, writes j.
Carter Beard Ii is strange that this
flower fire is so little known and so sell
dom noticed
The best time to watch for and to
witness the emission of flower fire is
just after sunset of warm day, when
the atmosphere is perfectly dry and
clear. On the contrary, if the air is
dense or the day has been rainy moth
ing of the kind can be seen. The light
emitted from flowers Is sometimes con
tinuous, but oftener, perhaps, repre-
sents itself in flashes and chickering's
like the sparks from piece of paper
that has been electrified. The duration
Of the light varies according to the
state of the atmosphere and the sort of
flowers that are under observation.
A daughter of Linnaeus Is credited
with having been the first, as long ago
as 1862, to have observed the luminous
emanations. While seated alone in her
fathers garden on fine, warm sum
mer night her attention was attracted
to a cluster of the common nasturtiums,
whose flowers shone with iridescent
luster amid the surrounding gloom
Captivated by the charming novelty of
the spectacle, she repeated her noe
turnal visit 10 the flowers a number of
times and never once failed to witness
the CLEAN of the nasturtlums.
Numerous other flowers. many of
which can be found in our gardens, are
discovered to be self luminous after ex-
posure to the strong, sustained light Of
the summer sun, for not only do groups
of nasturtiums exhibit the phenome-
non, but the corolla of the common sun
flower, the dahlia. the tuberose, the
yellow lily, aud. indeed, number of
blossoms not named Christian
