FLOWERS THAT GIVE LIGHT
Fact Not Generally Known 10 That
Many Common Plants Have a
Distinct Luminosity.

Most people have seen the plant
colloqulaily called the burning bush,
and have struck a match and applied
II to the feuthery flowers and leaves
In order TO see the delicate flame run
over the surface OF the plant without
affecting or hurting II But II Is not
20 well known that there are mum
Der OF flowers which throw on lumi-
modify 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 nasturtiun.
II IL related that on warm sum
msr evening In the year 1852 the clev-
sr daughter OF the famous Swedish
botanisf. Linnsus. noticed that some
nasturtiums In her fathers garden
were emitting tiny but distinct flashes
Of light; first Que flower then another
would throw out an eyanescent beam.
Though At nrst her assertion was re
csived with doubt. other investigators
soon proved II to be true. and II Is
now known that not only nasturtiums
but many other flowers exhibit this
luminosity. Camellias have been seen
to glow with a moonlike radiance.
