MILLION OR BILLION AIRESS. Information from London About Senora Couslno’e Coming Visit. We must participate, with permission of the Yankees, in their delight at the fact that a lAdy worth forty million pounds a year will shortly visit New York; she may, naturally, while steamers are temptingly running ’twlxt America and England in six days, find it seductive to take a look at London, where she would Indeed be a somebody and find all the shops kept open day and night on purpose to oblige her. The lady in question is a Chilian of the name of Senora de Cousino. She is fortunately a woman of mature years—the chances of her eloping are, therefore, lessened, while the chances of the old boys are increased. She ranks as the richest woman in the world, and who is her male equal? She is a woman of excellent culture and- business capacity—these diminish the chances of the fortune hunterft; she must be won for his worth. The Senora’s tastes are simple but accurate. She is great on the sub- ! Ject of mines and ranches, and does not delight in grand dinners. This is all that' is known as yet of the manifold millionaire, and naturally as such most adorable of women.—London Court 1 Journal. Fruit That Explodes. There is a queer fruit In Batavia, Japan, which has the quality of exploding when under water. It is a dried pod-like growth of the justlcla plant, and its explosive feature is nature’s provision for sowing its seed. There are many plants that have the same quality but this one is peculiar, in that contact with water hastens the explosion. The fruit is shaped Hk6 a cigar, and is a little less than an inch in length. It is full of seeds, and when the explosion takes place, the water moistens a gummy substance on the outside of the seeds, which makes them stick where they fall. This is another provision of nature, by which the plant is enabled to propagate its kind. Mixed in Their Tenses. The difficulties of the English language are well illustrated in a story recently told of three Freneh boys who were doing Shakespeare Into English from their French versions. When they came to the line from “Hamlet,” “To be or not to be,” the three translations came out as follows: “To was or not to am," "To were or is to not,” “To should or not to wilt” "I see John is back from school.” "Yes, so I observe.” "Is he finished?” "No, but his daddy is."—Atlanta Constltutlon.
