"The  Cannibal  Tree,   Grapple   Plant   and
Vegetable Python.
Three of the most dangerous of vegetative plants in the "world are the cannibal tree of Australia, the death or
grapple plant of South Africa and the
vegetable python of New Zealand.
The cannibal tree grows np in, tbe
shape of a huge pineapple and attains a
height of 11 feet. It has a series of
broad, boardlike leaves growing^in a
fringe at the apex, which forcibly
bring to mind a gigantic Central
American agave, and these boardlike
leaves, from 10 to 12 feet in the smaller
specimens and from 15 to 20 feet in :the
larger, hang to tbe ground and are
easily strong enough to bear the weight
of a man of 140 pounds or, more. In the
ancient times tbis tree was worshiped
by the native savages tinder the name of
the devil tree, a part of the interesting ceremony being the sacrifice of one
of their number to its all too ready embrace. The victim to be sacrificed was
driven up the leaves of the tree to the
apex, and the instant the so called pistils of the monster were touched the
leaves would fly together like a trap,
crushing the life out of the intruder. In
this way the tree would hold its victim
nntil every particle of flesh would disappear from his bones.
The grapple plant is a prostrate herb
growing in South Africa. Its flowers
are" purple and shaped like the English
foxglove. Its fruit has formidable hooks
which, by clinging to any passerby, is
conveyed to situations where its seed
may find suitable conditions for growth.
Sir John Lubbock says it has been known
to kill lions.
The vegetable python, which is
known to the naturalist as the clnsia of
fig, is the strangler of trees. The seeds
of the clnsia, being provided with a
pulp and very pleasant to the tropical
bawls which feed thereon, are carried
from tree to tree and deposited on the
branches. Here germination begins.
The leafy stem slowly rises, while the
loots flow, as it were, down the trnnk
until the soil is reached. Here and there
they branch, changing their course according to the direction of any obstructions met with. Meanwhile from these
rootlets leafy branches have been developed, which, pushing themselves
through the canopy above, get into the
light and enormously accelerate their
growth.
Now a metamorphosis takes place,
for the bitheito soft aerial roots begin
tp harden and spread wider ahd wider,
out side braneli«, wMeh Mjk
'aai&  amalgamate viikb. eaSfr ofl^t
81 the whole tree trunk is bound in-a
series of irregular living hoops. Prom
this time on it is a struggle of life and
death between the forest giant and tbe
entwining clnsia. Like an athlete tbe
tree tries to expand ahd burst its fetters, causing the bark to bulge between
every interlacing, bnt success and freedom are not for the captive tree, for the
monster clnsia has made its bands very
numerous and wide. Not allowed expansion, the tree soon withers ancl dies,,
and the strangler is soon expanded into
a great bush, almost as large as the
mass of branches aud foliage it has
effaced. It is truly a tragedy in the
world of vegetation.—Los Angeles
Herald.
Shakespeare and Dogs.

them many a tribute. See, for instance/

Misguided Leniency.
A man was np before the judge the
other day for stealing coal. The railroad
detective said that he caught the fellow
in a coal car, but the man said he was
only sleeping there because his wife
had locked Mm out, and he had no money
to go to a hotel. "Pretty hard bed, i
wasn't it?" asked, the judge. )
"Oh, no, sir," he answered; "it "was

The Science of tlfo Morning Fast.
Dr. E. H. Dewey says that the heavy
morning breakfast which is universal
in America is all a mistake. The hunger one feels is abnormal and is simply
the acquired result of a lifelong untimely meal. More than tbis, it is often disease undergoing evolution, and many
complaints are cured simply by not taking anything beyond a small cup of tea
or coffee, and sometimes not even that,
until 11 or 12 o'clock. The experience
of hundreds of persons proves that even
the severest manual labor can be performed for several hours "on an empty
stomach" and with more ease, energy
and satisfaction than ever is possible
after an early morning meal, and that
it can be done even up to high noon
without unusual exhaustion or inconvenience from the pangs of hunger. A
great many people are now giving this
matter a prolonged test, and the wisdom of tlie method is clearly supported
by physiological evidence.—Exchange.
