A Wonderful Magnetic Plant. Court Journal. There has been discovered in the forests of India a strange plant which possesses to a very high degree astonishing magnetic pofrer. The hand which breaks a leaf from it received immediately a shock equal to that which is produced by th® conductor of an induction coil. At a distance of six metres a mugnetic needle is affected by it, and will be quite deranged if brought near. The energy of this singular influence varies with the hours of the day. AU-powerful about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Lt is absolutely annulled during the night. At times of storm its intensity augments to striking proportions. During min the plant seems to succumb and bends its head during a thunder shower. It remains there without force of virtue even if one should shelter it with an umbrella. No shock is felt at that time in breaking the leaves, and the needle is unaffected by it One never by any chance sees a bird or insect alight on the electric plant; an'iusttoci seems to warn them that they would find their sudden doath. It is also important to remark that where it grows none of the magnetic metals are found, neither iron, nor cobalt, nor nickel—an undeniable proof that the eleetrio force belongs exclusively to the plant. Light and heat, phosphorescence, magnetism, electricity, how many mysteries and botanical problems does thia wondrous Indian plant conceal within its leaf and flower!

Mr. Arkell's Postage Stamp "Ad.” W. J. Arkell, the proprietor of Judge and Frank Leslie’s Illustrated Newspaper, has culminated a unique advertising scheme. His idea is to put an advertisement on the back of each of the 20,000,000 postage stamps distributed through the country every month. Mr. Arkell has already made a definite offer through the Poetmaster General to pay the Government SIOO,000 a year for four years, and to pay for the engraving of the stamps, which would amount to $140,000 ayear more. The contract rdnning for four years, therefore, would entail a payment on his part of nearly $1,000,000. Mr. Wanamaker suggested that possibly he may not have the authority under the law to enter into any such arrangement, but competent lawyers, it is said, declare that there is no legal obstacle to the acceptance of Mr. Arkell’s offer. It is proposed to print the advertisement in daintily colored ink before the gum of the stamps is put on, and make the gum so transparent that the advertisement will easily show through.
