But the Germans do not imagine

earnacIes on Warships.

Wnrships have to be cleaned on the,

worked all day scraping off 600 tons Of
animal and plant growth. This tre-
mendous quantity of sea life had ac--
cumulated in less than two years. dur
ing which time the ship had travelled
many thousand miles. The weight of
the barnacles was so great that from
% to 40 per cent more coal was con-
sumed in maintaining the normal speed
of the boat.

Air Plants.

In some parts Of Mexico ''air plants"
abound. These curious growths are
never attached to the soil in any way,
but rely for their moisture on the at
mosphere. One kind, known as
"Spaniard's Beard" (Tillandsia usneo-
ides), attaches itself to telephone
wires. Very often the growth becomes
a positive nuisance, and 1t is neces-
sary to send men to clear 1t away. The
"Spaniard's Beard" has no proper
leaves, and in appearance is simply
mass of green gray threads.-Wide
