Insectivorous Plants.
IFdr the Patron and Gleaoer.J
There are certain plants found in I
! manv nrf nfth vnrlrl nd enma in
i - i - w.w.m
-our own state, thst seem designed by
nature to obtain at least a portion of
the material necessary for their sep
port, and vigor of growth from the
animal kingdom. We see this plain
ly indicated in the peculiar forma
tion of" their leaves, the beautifully
designed and most efficient "traps"
ffltscl'ed to them and the secretion
of a honey like fluid for the purpose
of attracting inserts to approach
tbem. These insectcating plants
not only possess a automatic move
ment, but seem endowed by nature
with the wonderfuiower of discrim
inating between -organic and inor
ganic substances.
We find in the American Cyclo
pedia a very interesting description
of these plants; their growth and the
natural appliances necessary for en
trapping the unwary insects that
aaay come within their reach. One
of these remarkable plants the "Ve
nus fly traj" is said to be a native of
North Carolina,, found only in the
saviDnas surrounding Wilmington.
This plaiit is provided with a won
derfolly arranged trap at the apex
of tfee leaves, said to resemble very
much "two cpper eye lids joined at
their base.-' The tnp when open
has three delicate "bristles on each
side, so arranged that an insect can
hardly pass over it without touching
one of t hem. As soon as touched the
trap closes upon the unlucky insect.
A thick mucus q 8eCreted from a
number of glands within the trap,
which after the digestion of the in
sect is absorbed. This fluid will aN
so digest small bits of flesh The
seasitivenes possessed by this plant
is p4aced ia the hair like bristles
within the trap and seems connected
with something corresponding to a
nervous system. It may be tone .ed
or even pressed in other parts with-
ut causing the trap to close.
In anotlrer kind of these plants,
the 'Sandew, the leaves are thickly
studded with short glandular pairs
or bristles which are tipped with &
small globule of clear liquid which
looks like dew,-from which it takes
its name.
This liquid is so sticky that it will
hold fast any small insect that lights
on the leaf; when an insect is caught
by one or more of these sticky hairs,
the other hairs on the leaf incline
towards it and the insect becomes so
entangled that it can rot escape.
The insects thus caught are digested
and the nutritive material is ab
sorbed by the leaf. This fluid has a
power closely resembling the gastric
juice of animals acting on cartilage
and the fibrous substance ofione.
It is said tlsat a fly pinned half aa
inch from the leaf of this plant will
cause it to incline towards it, white
a piece .f chalk or other inorganic
substance will produce ho effect. ,
The Pitcher or Trumpet plant be
long also to this class of insect eatiog
plants. The pitchers or trumpets are
formed from the leaves and are near
ly always found partially filled with
witer containing numerous dead and
more or less decomposed insects. In
some varieties of this plant the wa
ter found in them is supposed to be
a secretion and nol water, as it is so
formed that water can not readily
enter them- In some species a
sweet secretlsn is found near the
opening of the pitcher for the pur
pose o? atracting insects. In one
variety, when in fullest vigor of
crrowth. this honey or secretion is
pi
not
onlv in numerous small aroj 8
around &e inside of the mouth of
the pitcher, -but there 'f1

Having
driven three miles through the rain
on a dark night last Tuesday, I ( est convictions have made us famil
boarded the steamer Neuse at Roan-; iar with the many phases of the re
oke dock and slept till New Berne lations. of State and church educa
whs reached next morning. This is . Uon. One effect of this phenomenal
one of the oldest towns.in the State j growth of the State University upon
and was once the capital. It is a 'the church colleges has not been era
shady,leepy place, situated between
vue rivers .euse ana ireiit,wuere they
unitc. There is a standing contro
versj as to its name, and James City
iy just across the river. These are
the principal points of interest.
James City is a town containing not
a single white inhabitant. It can
be better imagined than described.
An hoar and a half on the A. & N.
C. or "Mullet" railroad takes one to
Moreliead City. This railroad runs
from Ooldsboro to Moreliead, is
partly owned by the State and is a
caricature of a road ofjts length.
Morehead Cit- is loo well known
to need description. The papers
ara all full of it. It consists of mud
flats, the Atlantic hotel, and a town
of some fifteen hundred inhabitants.
The teachers go there. The third and
.i
fourth regiments of the State Guard
were encamped near Moreliead for
the last ten days. The Governor
and his staff, priRcipally his stafF,
were out in full force. The hotel
was crowded with officers in blue
coats aBd white duck trousers wear
ing the shoulder straps of every thing
from a second to a colonel, all of
which (or of whom) were very hand
some. I mean the uniforms. '
I ' arrived at one o'clock on
Wednesday and fojnd the tate
Board of Medical Examiners in ses
s r. Permit me to say a few. words
in regard to it. While it has
been necessary, for many years for a
physician to pass the board before
lie could collect his fees by law, it is
only for the last four that every per
son beginning the practice; of medi
cine in the Stale has been, required
to take the cxam natioa. It con
sists of seven members, two of whom
are elected every two years by the
State Medical Society, and who
serve six years. No person can
practice medicine without obtaining
a, license from J them. They meet
twice a year, hold written examina
tions and maintain an average stand
ard of eighty per cent. Nearly half
of the applicants are-refused license
because of incompetency. Whoever
secures their certificate is well qual
ified and this wise law is of incalcu
able benefit to the people, by pro
tecting them from incompetent and
ignorant pliysiclans. There were
only thirteen applicants this time,
but the number usually is seventy or
more. Only seven of these were
granted license. The members of the
board at present are: Dr. W. H.
Whitehead, of Rocky Mouat, Presi- j
dent ; Dr. L. J. Vicot, of Littleton j
Secretary; Dr. G. W. Long, cf Gra-1
ham, Dr. J. M. Hays, Greensboro,
Dr. H. B. Weaver, Asheville, Dr. J.
M. Baker, Tarboro, and Dr. T. S.
Burbank, of Wilmington. AH brainy
and competent men. More to follow.

What Shall Educational Col-
leges Do?
Elox Collcge. N. C-,
July 28. 1894
It is not nay purpose to enter into
the merits of a Question already so
ably-discussed. Stnng raen'ofhon
' phased. "It. '.looks beyond the din
;r conflict. To this let me call at-
tention.
New life at the University will in.
fuse new life and growth into every
college in the S:ate. A State Uni
versity is a prototype. Consciously
or unconsciousl; the colleges imitate
it. Any improvement made at this
centre of influence is known and felt
in all the colleges. Why this feeling
of uneasiness among us? Is It not
because the university is developing
fa6ter than we are ? Before we de
cide it is money, let us consider
whether it is not the broad, liberal
thought and schoolship behind that
money doing so much with so little.
The influence of this wide awake
policy is already felt by our colleges.!
We denominational men never did!
so much hard thinking and effective'
work to make our colleges command
patronage as iu the last few years
There has been some electric think
ing at the University. We have felt
its shock. Before fully recovering
we want to resent such an uncxpect
ed charge. After the excitement is
over we shall see new life and ac-,
tivity have been imparted toour own
systems: Closer than. ever wc will
study the best methods of the lead
ing tv3Hegp, more diligently will we
apply ourselves to making our col
leges seats of the faigliest Christian
culture and scholarship. Many
3Tooth now reached by no collcge
will augment our patronage. New
methods of holding the worthy will
be devised : the churches aroused to
an interest in education will awaken
a response in the hearts of many of
our members who now never contrib
ute a dollar to education. I hail as
an omen of gootl, whatever causes
the church to uneartli its hidden nap
kins use its dormant powers. How
few of our meri of means endow
8chlarships, erect needed buildings,
supply larger library and laboratory
facilities, found fellowships, scholar
ships, loan funds, &c. This appar
ent conflict will compel the church
to provide these things or lose many
students.. Instead of destroying us
the University will force colleges to
be better prepared for work and for
giving to our churches larger and
grander men.
If the University causes those
leeply coucerned in the future of
their church colleges to empty some
of their pocket books into the college
treasury, X say GodbIess the Uni
versity. Give it more money. Let
it devolop into a Harvard. J. U.

Hon. T. W. Mason.
A corre soon dent of the Raleigh
News Observer-Chronicle suggests
Col. Thomas W. Mason, of North

The suggestion, will, no doubt, meet
with widespread approval. Colonel
Mason is the peer of any North Car.
