SAID TO FEED ON INSECTS
Pitcher Plant Known to Scientists a.
!. One Of the Wonders Of the veoe-
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 It's leaves.
They r green, water-holding pitch
ers, beautifully velned with red and
purple, with considerable variation In
form. During rainfalls they are filled
with water. This largely ~evap0rates,
leaving the receptacle half full. Ex-
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-iuid sub
stance to be found around the inner
margin Of the bowl or pitcher. This
arrangement not only attracts a large
number of tiny insects, but they are
so eager 10 feed on the sugary sub
stance that not Il few tumble into the
water below and q there. They can
not fly out, for he'knes of flight would
be practically vertical, while hun
dreds of little bristles confronting
them prevent escape owe the surfaced
by walking out. Many believe that
the plant. through It's leaves, absorbs
the digestive parts Of these insects.
and thai they thus contribute 10 Its
nutrition; in other words that the
pitcher plant to this extent IS one Of
the ~carnivores OF the vegetable king
dom.
