HER GIFT OF MIMIcRY.

Cissie Lotus Could initiate Irving and
Bernhardt Equally Well.
Walter Prichard Eaton In the Amer
lean Magazine says In an article about
famous mimics:
in the days when Cissie LOTUS was
delighting vaudeville audiences with
her limitations she used to give an imi-
tation Of Lillian Russell Miss Rus
sell countered by giving an imitation
of Miss Lotus imitation of her. But
to an artist like Miss Lotus that pre-
sented no difficulties. She merely came
back with an imitation of Miss Rus
sells imitation of her imitation OF Miss
Russell! The fair Lillian thereupon
retired from an unequal contest.
"Cissie Lotus could initiate any
body. The present writer once heard
her in the course of a casual converse
tion initiate most thrillingly Sir Hen
ry Irving in a blank verse death scene.
Then an imaginary curtain descended,
and YOU heard Sir Henry, in totally
different voice (no less unmistakably
his), inquiring in very Saxon prose-
where the deuce were the red lights!

THE BURNING BUSH"
A Wonderful Plant Whose vapor May
Be Set Afiame.

Be Set Af1ame.
The burning bush," which is known
TO bQtanists 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
1t Is now found in some gardens Of the
temperate zone. In connection with
the dictamnus 1t 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 a 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 volatlIizing so that the
air surrounding the plant is impreg-
mated. Further, this vapor is highly
infammable. and If naked fame is
brought near to the plant the fumes at
once take fire with 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 a success. Thus 1t 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 fiow-
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 infammable 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-
tion 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 lar
or case closedup the experiment may
be repeated with similar results Den

Zulu Sonaaters.

The arrival of European in Zulu
village, the opening of a railway, a
war, a famine, plague of locusts,
pestilence may become topics for semi
public songs that are soon circulated
among the people. Songs are used at
the public functions of chiefs, such as
the feast of the first fruits and at roy
al marriages. War and tribal songs
are possessed by every chief and tribe.
At marriages and other public ceremo-
nies it is the Zulu custom to render
not only the songs of the living chief,
but those made famous by his father
and grandfather.

The Versatile Manchurian Farmer.

In the early fall In Manchuria the
natives undergo sort of magic change
from farmer to bandit. 1t seems some
thing of a psychological somersault-
one day plodding farmer. the next a
highwayman. After the tall kaoling.
or giant millet, is cut. and escape is not
so easy over the bare plains, another
clap of the hands. and, 10, peaceful
farmer once more! 1t is not only the
farmer who plays this exciting game;
many another staid member OF the
community has his little ding. Some
even combine their roles, differentiat-
Ing according to the seasons. With
the oriental's disregard for conditions,
man is often bandit, merchant and
magistrate all at once.-Alice Tisdale
