The plant Meant fr connected with an index whieh ad* Tanoee visibly and constantly, exhibiting the growth on a scale fifty times magnified. When the index is oonneoted with C electric hammer, the current of whieh interrupted as the index passes over the divisions of the circle, the growth of the plant beoomes not only visible, bat also audible to the ear.

"It is a marvelous droumstanoe,* •ays Dr. Brancroft, "that the black man of Australia should have dropped ujpon the same narcotic principle (niootme) ss the red man of America.” Pi tori is a plant of Central Australia, not far .amoved from the tobaooo plant. Tbs leaves of the plant an chewed by the aborigines, who trade with it extensively. Chemical analysis show that the alkaloid in which the peculiar poisonous properties depend is nicotine, the same substance to which tobaooo owes its effects. Pituri is eagerly sought by the native Australians, not for the purpose of exciting their courage or combativeness, but to produce a dreamy, voluptuous sensation, such as is experienced by the opium eater. It is often taken by the natives on their long marches to deaden the craving of hunger and to .support them under excessive fatigue.
