Thomas, of T. l Beigle & Co., yesterday received a little box from Philadelphia containing a number of "dancing beans." They are cariosities. The tree which produces them grows in but one State in Mexico. The beans are triangular in shape, hav ing two flat and one convex surf ace. Each bean contains a worm that measures about 11 millimetres in length by three in width. They have sixteen well de veloped feet. The worms live in their shells for nine or ten months, from July or August of each year till Aoril or M? of the next. If the beans are laid on any flit sur face, two kinds of movements will take place. They will be seen to slide for ward about an eighth of an inch at a time, and also to j amp up from the sur face on which they are placed. Each jump raises the- bean about one eighth to one quarter 01 an inch. The object, of these movements has neyer been definitely decided. The most plausible theory advanced is that if ths worm remains near the tree that pro duces it, it will be destroyed by some other insect, hence its anxiety to get at far away as possible. The worm haa no desire to et cape from its shell; on the contrary it seems to be comfortable, only when thoroughly enclosed in it. If a hole is made in the shell, the worm im mediately sets to work to repair the damage, and in a very shoit time wili have the hole completely covered with a fine silky web. After this is completed, the worm will act just as before. If the worm is removed from the shell alto gether, it will Attempt 1 3 form another covering for i'.eelf The tree on which the beans are grows produces a berry. Sach berry coLtiina three of the beaue, but only 'one bean ia each berry contains a worm. The most surpris'.ag thing in regard to the beans is the fact that there is no ho! or other indication af the way in which the worm entered the shell. The only! explanation cf thia fact is th&t the egg;' producing the worm was laid iu the! flower before the berry was produced, and that the berry formed around the-' egg which later becomes the worm . The beans should be kept in a moder ately .warm piace, and should,, be ex posed to the sun for fifteen or twenty minutes every day, especially in the win ter. If this is done, they will live until April or May. The beans will be on exhibition at Seigle's in a few days. 8UP8BIOB COUKT. The Case of Hampton & Logan vm X. r. Dixon and Wife Other gnlta.
