Most persons of an obsen: ,2 mm of mind are aware of the fact that there are several species ul insects, says the St. Louis It‘vpulih'e, that will mntiuttc to lire without scouting inconvenience for some time after decapitation ; exact knowledge of lltt‘ length of time which the various species of insects would sur‘ rive such mutilation being somewhat ru:ue. Prof. Conestrini once undertook a seris ul experiments with a \‘iew of determining that and other facts in relation to the wonderful vitality of such creatures. In each case the head was smoothly retrieved with a pair of thin-bladed iorceps, and when spontan- eous movements of the wings and legs ceased be employed sundry irritating devices, such as pricking, squeezing and blowing tobacco smoke over the insect. As a result of these experiments be ascertained that members of the beetle family at once showed signs of suffering, while such as the ants, bees, wasps, eet., remained for hours unnfl‘eeted. Some “M...â€" which seemed stunned from the effects ' ol' the operation recovered after a time, ' and continued to live and enjoy a head less existence for several days. Butter- flies und moths seemed but little nfi'ected by the guillotining process, and the common flies (diptern) appeared to regard the operation as a huge joke. “ The common house fly," says our experimenter, “ appeared to be in full possession of his senses (rather paradox- ical, when in all probabilities the canary had swallowed head, sense and all) 36 hours afterwards.” The bodies of some species of butter. flies survived as long 115 18 days after the head had been removed, but the head itself seldom showed signs of life longer than six hours after decapitation. In the general summary of these huge experiments we are informed that the last signs of life were manifested either in the middle or last pair of legs; and that the myriopeds showed great ten- acity of life “ and appeared wholly in- different to the loss of their heads." o-.â€" Remarkable Trees. On the Canary Island grows azfeunâ€" tain tree, a tree most needed in some parts of the island. It is said that the leaves constantly distil enough water to furnish drink to every living creature in Hicro, nature having provided this remedy for the drought of the island. Every morning, near this part of the island, a cloud or tnist arises from the sea. which the wind forces against the steep cliff on which the tree grows, and it is from the mist that the tree distils the water. China, too, claims her re- markable tree. This is known he the tnllew tree, so called from the fact of its producing a substance like tallow, and which serves the same purpose, is of the some consistence, color and smell. On the Island of Lcwohew grows a tree about the size of a common cherry tree, which possesses the peculiarity of changing the color of its blossoms. At one time the flower assumes the tint of the lily, and again shortly takes the color of the rose. In Thibet there is n curious tree known as the tree of the thousand images; its leaves are covered with well defined characters of the Thi- betean alphabet. It is of great age and the only one of its kind known there. The caebab tree is considered one of the most wonderful of the vege- table kingdom. It appears that nothing can kill this tree; hence it reaches an astonishing age as well as an enormous size. The natives make a strong cord from the fibres of the bark; hence the trees are continually barked, but with- out datuage, as they soon put forth a new bark. It appears impervious to tire, and even the axe is resisted, us it continues to grow in length while it is lying on the ground. In Mexico there is a plant known by the name of Polo de Lecho. It beloi-gs to the family of euphorbia. The Indians throw the leaves into the water, and the fish beâ€" come stupefied and rise to the surface and are then caught by the natives. In this case the effect of the narcotic soon passes off. The milk of this plnut thrown upon the fire gives out fumes that produce nausea and headache. The milk taken internally is a deadly petson ; it will produce death or insan- ity, according to the size of the dose. There is a popular belief among the lower class in Mexico that the insanity of the ex-Empress Carlotta was caused by this poison.â€"San Jose Mammy. -â€"wâ€"a - .._.._ _.___ The largest inns in the States is sit- uated in Louisiana, it being 100 miles one way and 25 the other.
