A Plant Enemy of Man.
PLANT that is often fatal to

a PLANT that is often fatal to
animal life, not on account OF
any poisonous qualities, but because
Of the penetrating effect Of it's sharp
harbed seed vessels, is always OF
great interest, not only to botanists,
but to scientists in general.
In South America, chiefly in the
vast plain that extends from Pata-
gonia UP to Bahia Blanco. and also
in the province of Santa Fe and in
Uruguay, there are large grasses
that grow in the Spring and whose
misdeeds have been exposed by many
Investigators.
These grasses have a fruit about
three inches long. made up of three
parts-frst, a short, basal portion
formed of conical axis, with a very
sharp point covered with sharp, stiff
hairs directed backward; second, a
cylindrical part formed of 4 MEM
brane inclosinG the seeds. and, third,
a shaft like an arrow.
All the Stipas of South America
have these arrows, which, when the
wind blows, strike people in the face
and hands and produce very painful
wounds. They are so abundant that
they adhere to the fences, forming
a continuous fringe miles in length
ind giving the illusion Of vast lines
of foam. \ man may get rid Of the
darts that light on his beard, hair
cr clothes: but if he neglects to
jluck them off at once they pene-
tate to the skin, even through the
rhickeSt of garments. If an attempt
Is then made to withdraw them they
break, and tho seed remains embed
ded in the flesh, being removed with
great difficulty.
In any case, although n man may
contend successfully against them.
animals are unable TO do so, and the
Sheep that are bred in such numbers
ol the pampas are their chief vic
TINS. The darts of the Stipa pene-
crate their eyeballs and blind them,
30 that, no longer being able to find
their way about, they die Of hunger
and thirst The seeds also form amid
the hair of the feet and over the
whole skin surface a mass of sharp
points, which every movement
pushes farther into the flesh. giving
rise to ulcers, to which the animal
generally succumbs.
The darts also penerate into the
calvary glands Of herbivorous ami
4Icsls. <here they accumulate in great
masses These form especially under

The genus Stipa is disseminated
throughout warm and temperate re-
Sions but 1t is rarely found in Eu-
.ope or America. There are about
400 species, of which four are found
In France. but as these grasses are

Sulphur Stone.

SANDSTONE is of little value as a
~ building material, as it will not
stand pressure in excess of some
5000 pounds per square inch. Recent
experiments made by the United
States Board of Standards indicate "a
cheap method Of making sandstone
as strong as granite. The stone is
cut, then soaked in melted sulphur
for several hours. The sulphur per-
meates the structure, and, when cold,
blocks will stand a pressure OF 30,-
600 pounds compression. Tests for
weathering qualities are still in
progress, but initial results are re-
ported to be extremely favorable.

the immense tide power project in

ed from Lieut.. Commander i. Mann,

irent Briton, who has been in con-

said that he is deeply interested in
the Quoddy tide power development
and he thought that an International
agreement on the project may easily
be reached. This is necessary, for
dams across the boundary line would
have to be constructed in places. The
commander also stated he had not
the least doubt that funds for build
Ing the daas and installing the ne-
cessary machines were readily avail
able, Since last Spring q small army
