which sports the scientific name Of
dionoera muscipula.
The leaves have prongs which inter-
lock when an unwary insect touches
a fine hair in the center of the leaf.
The plant waits for a second
touch" however, before closing up.
Local fanciers who own these in
teresting specimens often demonstrate
the intelligence of the fly trap by
tickling it with a bit of straw. In
variably it requires two tickles to
make the leaves move.
If the fly manages to escape, the
leaves remain locked for about IS
minutes before opening again.

WE GIVE THANKS.
By Clara Aiken Speer.

Our Father. we give thanks to Thee
That Thou hast given to US food
And shelter, hast supplied our needs
And brought our hearts to Joyous
mood.
Yet we do thank Thee more, that if
These temporal things should fail
and we
BE hungry. naked, desolate.
We still could place our trust IN
Thee;
And know that though the darkness
come,
The dawning is not far away,
And Thou whose mercy cannot cease
wiz bring to Us the light of day.
We thank Thee Thou hast spared the
lives
OF those we love, that peaceful rest
Succeeding days Of work well done
Have made our lives serene and
blest.
But more we thank Thee that we
know
That come what may of grief or
pain,
Thy power will not, cannot fail;
Thy love will still our hearts sustain
We thank Thee that though hills be
moved,
And though earth reel beneath the
shock
OF tunult, we have naught to fear
Who stand upon the ageless ROCK.
