SAID TO FEED ON INSECTS
Pitcher Plant Known to Scientists az
One Of the Wonders Of the Ve9e-
table Kingdom.

The pitcher plant is one Of the
freaks Of plant life. 1t grows In
swampy lands and is well known In
Canada. The flowers, touched with
beautiful, delicate tints, are priced
for decorative purposes. But the won
der of the pitcher plant is its leaves.
They al. green, water-holding pitch
ers. beautifully veined with red ana
purple, with considerable variation In
form. During rainfalls they are filled
with water. This largely evaporates'
leaving the receptacle half full. Tx
ternally these cups are smooth, while
internally they are lined with fine bris-
ties pointing downward. There Is also
a sticky, sugary sort of semi-tuid sub
stance to be found around the inner
margin of the bowl or pitcher. Ihs
Arrangement not only attracts a large
number of tiny insects, but they are
so eager to feed on the sugary sub
stance that not few tumble into the
water below and die there. They can
not fly out, for the lines of flight would
be practically vertical, while nun
dreds of little bristles confronting
them prevent escape over the surface
by walking out. Many believe that
the plant, through its leaves, absorDs
the digestive parts Of these insects,
and that they thus contribute to Its
nutrition; in other words, that the
pitcher plant to this extent is one or
the carnivores of the vegetable king
dom
