A Perpetual Motion Plant.

The perpetual motion machine of
the botanist is a plant which grows
in India. 1t is never quiet. It's leaves
are dancing day and night, and neither
the dead atmosphere of tropical noon
nor the soft breezes of twilight are
able to soothe it with their restful
lullabies. Botanists call It the tele-
graph plant.
It's motions differ from those of the
aspen tree, which is the American
type of almost perpetual motion in
nature. The aspen leaf is affected
by the lightest breeze, and quivers.
The leaves of the telegraph plant
have sort of jerking motion.
Each leaf is divided into three leaf
let's. The outsidS pair move Up and
down in nervous little jumps. as If
they were being touched and shocked
by some electric wire. The middle
leaflet isn't quite so lively, but It
keeps up continual motion, neverthe
less.
The only time the plant is quiet Ia
when it is dead.

More COMING to Him.

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jack MacFaddy was Scotsman.
Last year. when journeying to the
country on an important errand, he
left his purse, containing nearly $500
in gold and silver, at the railway sta.
ton from which he started.
He telegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept until his
return month later.
1t was young clerk who handed
Jockie> MacF. his wee purse with the
'spondies" as he set foot out of the
train, and certain wild hopes were
making the young mans heart beat a
trife unevenly.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding- when he'd
finished he looked up long and sus-
piciously at the young man.
isn't it right, sir?" stammered the
latter, in bewilderment
"Richt-Richt! It's right enough.
but where's the interest, mon?" was
MacFaddy's stern retort.-Edinburgh
