SOME STRANGE PLANTS.

Odd Specimens from Distant Parts of the World.

I«tirk That Resembles Lace— -rating Leaves—Toothbrush Trees, Snake Seed, and JIauy Other

Curios.

The collection of the department of agriculture of plants useful to man adds a new department of interest to the public museums of Washington, says the Collector. Among the most remarkable of the plants is the lacebai'k tree of Jamaica, the inner bark of which is composed of many layers of fibers, that interlace it in all directions. Caps, ruffles, and even complete suits of lace are made from it. It bears washing with common soap, and when bleached in the sun acquires a degree of whiteness equal to the best artificial lace, with which this surprising natural product compares quite favorably as to beauty.

Another curiosity is known in the tropics as the sandbark tree, and also as the monkey's dinner bell. It has a round, hard-shelled fruit, about tho size of an orange, which, when ripe and dry, bursts with a sharp noise like the report of a pistol. Its juice is poisonous. The South American trumpet tree might furnish a band with musical instruments, inasmuch as its hollow branches are utilized for horns and also for drums.

From Travoncore comes a quaint plant called the cerberus, which has a milky, poisonous juice. The unripe fruit is used by the natives to destroy dogs, as its action causes their teeth to loosen and fall out. The leaves of the so-called American aloe are made into razor strops and are also employed for cleaning and scouring pewter. Quite a wonderful tree is the calabash of the West Indies, which bears enormous fruits that resemble pumpkins, which grow to be nearly two feet in diameter. With the pulpf removed they serve various purposes—for carrying water and even as kettles for cooking— having the great advantages of strength and lightness.

Another queer plant in the collection belongs to the pea family and is called the "moving plant," on account of the manner in which its leaves turn around of their own accord or go by jerks without being touched or in any way disturbed. Sometimes only one or two leaves on a plant will be affected at other times they will all perform jumps and gyrations simultaneously. It is observed that the movements are most energetic when the thermometer marks about eighty degrees. The "dumb cane" is so called because its fleshy, cane-like stems render speechless anyone who may happen to bite them.

In the West Indies grows the silk cotton or gold tree, the fruit of which is a very beautiful silky fiber, highly elastic and used for stuffing cushions. An interesting specimen is the pippul tree of the Hindoos, which is held in such veneration that it is considered a crime to cut off one of the branches. There is also a toothbrush tree from Jamaica. Toothbrushes are made from it by cutting pieces of the stem to convenient lengths and fraying the ends. It also supplies, conveniently enough, an excellent tooth powder, which is prepared by pulverizing the dried stems.

This wonderful vegetable assemblage includes the celebrated henna plant of the east, the powdered leaves of which are commonly utilized as a cosmetic in Asia and northern Africa. The practice has descended from very remote ages, as is proved by the Egyptian mummies, the parts dyed being usually the finger and toe nails, the tips of the fingers, the palms of the hands, and the soles of the feet. The reddish tint produced is considered highly ornamental by Oriental belles. In Urazil there grows a tree which has hard urn-shaped fruits, known as monkey cups. They contain edible nuts, and the husks are very peculiar, being six inches in diameter and having regular lids which fit them closely and separate when the seeds are mature.

The snake tree of Guiana is so called because the seed is twisted in a manner to resemble a coiled serpent. For this reason the Indians employ the nuts as an antidote for snake poison. Another curiosity is the papyrus of Asia, which yielded the substance used as paper by the undent Egyptians. For this purpose the wood of the reed stern was out in slices, which were piaced side by side, according to the size of sheet required. After being wet and beaten with a wooden instrument until smooth they were pressed and dried in the sun.

A queer plant is a native of Madagascar. Formerly the seeds, which are very poisonous, were administered to persons accused of crime. If the individual was innocent the dose excited vomiting and his recovery was looked upon as satisfactory vindication, but when retained in the stomach it quickly proved fatal and guilt was then established. The vegetable ivory plant of South America is a well-known commercial article. Its seeds at first contain a clear, insipid liquid, which changes by degrees until it becomes as hard as ivory, for which it is used as a substitute.

From eastern Asia comes a plant, the flowers of which contain a quantity of juice that rapidly turns black or deep purple. It is used by Chinese ladies for dyeing1 their hair and eyebrows, and in ava for blacking shoes. Decidedly remarkable is the camphor tree, from which camphor is preparod by boiling the chopped branches in water. It is mainly produced in the island of Formosa. Inasmuch as it grows well in the southern states there is reason to believe that the preparation of camphor will some day brcome a profitable industry in this country.

The arnotta plant has seeds coated with a red, waxy pulp, which is dried and made into cakes. It is much employed by the South American Caribs for painting their bodies, paint being almost their only article of clothing. As a commercial article it is mainly utilized as a coloring for cheese, butter and inferior chocolates.
