Many Are Capable Of InfiIctInG
Wounds as Fatal az Are Those
Of Deadly Reptiles.

Plants that secrete poison when
touched and inflict a wound almost
as dangerous as rattlesnake bite are
one of the features Of some tropical
jungles. The most common of these
poison plants is the Jatropha urens.
known in Panama and other parts Of
Central America as the "ortiga bravo"
(the cruel nettle). This plant is
easily recognized and is instinctively
stunned by the native animals.
Trunks, leaves, flowers and fruit Of
the plant are covered with singing
hairs, which are in effect long tubes
that are very brittle and break at the
lightest touch. The poison Is pro-
duced by cell which, during growth.
swells up, forming goblet-shaped
bulb set into the surrounding tissue.
When the hair is touched it breaks in
an oblique direction. forming can
nula which enters the skin, and the
poison is discharged directly into the
wound, the action being much like
that of the poison fang Of snake
The sting of this plant is painful in
the extreme, but seldom fatal. Many
other tropical plants have such dead
ly singing hairs that the poison Is
sufficient to kill man, even In small
doses.-Popular Mechanics.

Resemblance to a Submarine Already
10 Known to Have Meant
Death to One.

"In the North sea lived a whale. {"
That was long ago. Olivette in Au-
drains long popular operetta told about
the luckless end Of that marine mann
NAL In melodious fashion. That whale
met torpedo, and, mistaking 1t for
another and undesirable fish of strange
shape, gave it battle with dire results.
Now from the same region we have
authentic information of whale which
was mistaken, not by another whale,
but by a warship, for submarine
boat.
The body of that whale has been
cast up on the Dutch coast full OF
holes made by threeinch. shells. Fer
haps . whale resembles submarine
more closely than 1t resembles tor
pedo. There are architectural diner
ences, to be sure, which would be
noted except in moments OF extreme
excitement. On and near the North
sea today, however, there Is q great
deal Of excitement, and this doubtless
perfectly neutral creature has suffered
in consequence of it. There is no evil
dence that this whale, like his prede
cessor, loved to swagger and bully
or that "the ladies loved him So" Not
being In comic opera, he, or she, pre-
sumably had no characteristics un
usual to the whales Of sober natural
history. No record of the incident ex
cept the stranding Of the mortal rem
nant exists. One who would describe
the encounter must use his imagina
ton. A Kipling or Bullen might b.
moved to splendid utterance by con
temptation of this tragedy. but in I
daily newspaper we must stick t.
facts, and the ascertained facts in thii
case are scant.

cal comedy will flock to Philadelphia to
see THE Little Cafe' which is SO vel

which it created year ago. For weeks
it tested the capacity of the theatre and
the engagement had to be cut short at
the height of its popularity on account
OF the booking which had been made in
other places. 1t was the universal YER
dict that the book was by all odds the
brightest ever prepared for the American
stage by G.. M. s. Mcclellan, and the
melodies by Ivan Caryll were SO tuneful

spectacular bit of the life in the gayest

so whimsical that it kept everybody in
roars of merriment. Since it's departure
from the local stage "The Little Cafe"
