THE "BURRlNG BUSH"
A Wonderful Plant Whose vapor May
Be Set Af1ame.

Be Set Ahame.
The burning bush.' which is known
to botaniSts as the Dictamnus fraxi-
nella, is regarded as one Of the most
wonderful plants in the world. This
plant is native to western Asia. though
it is now found in some gardens of the
temperate zone In connection with
the dictamnus it is rather remarkable
that the species is common where the
incident of Moses and the burning bush
is said to have occurred.
A great many people who grow the
plant are quite unaware Of its strange
habits. AS matter Of fact, the die
tamnus secretes a fragrant essential
Oil in great abundance, which, botanists
say, is produced in especially large
quantities by the flower stems, in
warm weather volatilizing so that the
air surrounding the plant is impreg-
mated. Further, this vapor is highly
inf1ammable, and if a naked flame is
brought near to the plant the fumes at
once take fire with q most singular re-
suit. The whole plant is surrounded
with cracking, shooting flames reddish
in color and leaving highly aromatic
odor behind them. The burning bush
does not seem to be injured in any way
by the fire, for the flames do not actu-
ally come into contact with the plant
itself.
Several conditions are needful if the
experiment with the burning bush is to
be success. Thus it is essential that
the air should be very dry and warm;
also that there should be practically no
wind. The best effects are secured
only just after the opening of the flow
ers. 1t will be realized that these con-
ditions cannot always be relied upon.
A plan has recently been devised by
means Of which the inflammable ma
ture of the vapors given out by the
dictamnuS may be shown with star
Ting effect.
A strong plant Of the burning bush
is raised in a pot. At the time when
the flowers are just reaching perfec-
ton the plant is placed in a glass jar
or case. This is closely covered for
some hours before the time of the ex-
pertinent. On removing the cover a
light is held over the plant, when there
is at once a tremendous outburst of
flame. So great may be the rush of
fire that the eXperimenter is cautioned
to keep his face away from the top of
the jar, as serious burn is not by any
means out Of the question. After an
interval of an hour Or so with the jar
or case closed up the experiment may
be repeated with similar results. Den
