An I'nciitiiiy IMiint.
On the shores of Lake Nicaragua is
to be found an uncanny product of the
vegetable kingdom known among the
natives by tho expressive name of "the
devil's noose." Huustan, the nulurnl
1st, discovered It while wandering on
the shores of tho lake. Attracted by
cries of pain and terror from his dog
he found the animal held by black,
sticky bands, which had chafed tho
skin to bleeding point. These bands
were branches of a newly discovered
carnivorous plant, which has been aptly
named the "land octopus." Tho
branches are flexible, black, polished,
without leaves, and secrete a viscid
fluid.
"Where Total Kc1In-m Art- Hnre.
It Is a fact well known to astron
omers that the average number of total
ami partial eclipses In any one year Is
four; that tho maximum Is seven and
the minimum two. Where only two
occur they are always both of the sun.
There are a great many more eclipses
of the sun in the course of a year or
a hundred years than there ate of the
moon. This fact notwithstanding,
however, London, the metropolis of the
world, seems to bo a place where such
obstructions to the sun's light seldom
occur.
