FLOWERS THAT GIVE LIGHT
Fact Not Generally Known Is That
Many Common Plants Have
Distinct Luminosity.

Most people have seen the plant
collOQuially called the burning bush,
and have struck a match and applied
1t to the feathery flowers and leaves
In order to see the delicate flame run
over the surface Of the plant without
affecting or hurting It! But 1t Is not
so well known that there are a num-
Der of flowers which throw off lumi-
Mostly all their own. and among such
plants are the common marigold, GER
tain sorts of lilies and the oriental
poppy, as well as that familiar and
popular favorite the nasturtium.
1t is related that on a warm sum-
mer evening In the year 1852 the clev-
er daughter Of the famous Swedish
botanist, Linneus, noticed that some
nasturtiums In her fathers garden
were emitting tiny but distinct flashes
Of light; first one flower then another
would throw out an evanescent beam.
Though at first her assertion was re-
ceived with doubt, other investigators
soon proved 1t TO be true, and 1t is
now known that not only nasturtiums
but many other flowers exhibit this
luminosity. Camellias have been seen
To glow with a moonlike radiance.

WHITING OUT OF FASHION
Decline Of Ancient and Honorable
Pastime So Marked as to Have
Been Noted.

Come to think of II, there Is some
truth in the statement that whiting
as a lazy or tired mans pastime, is
going out Of existence. A storekeep-
er says: 81 used to set box out in
front Of the store for the boys to set
on, and the next day therd be nothin'
left Of the box 'ceptin' lot of whit
Tins Uttered like around the side
walk. But now a box will last lest
about all summer No, whit
tim ain't what 1t werer At rail-
way station the agent remarked that
whereas waiting-room bench had a
shorter life in the older days than
a two-bit harmonica." the present
benches In the mems waiting room
over which he had Jurisdiction had
lasted well on to IS months. And
at post office, blacksmith shop, livery
stable and elsewhere the crowd no
longer amuses itself with knife and
soft wood. Perhaps men are too busy.
The storekeeper referred to above has
another theory. He says: They're
too CuSSed lazy today to whet their
jack knives. "-EXCnange.
