ing of Mr. Gotsch has already produced

be a delightful feature of the concerts.

tra, and Mr. Sharp is to be congratulated
on having secured a 'cellist of such supe
rior attainments.
Plants Thai Eat Flesh.
However anomalous the idea of flower
ing animals may appear, it is not more
so than is that of plants that set traps
and devour the prey taken by them.
Flesh eating plants seem to violate the
iuics or nature, yet the violation Is appar
ent rather than real, for many plants
absorb animal matter as part of their
food. In general this is taken in only
after decomposition has rendered the
tissues soluble, but there are some blood
thirsty plants that kill and eat small
animals as ruthlessly as do beasts of prey.
Among these the little sun-dew is most
widely known, for its fame was spread
over the world by the work of Darwin,
who gave an eleborate disci ipt ion of it in
his "Insectivorous Plants." The leaves
of the sun-dew are studded with little
projections on whose summits are drops
of a clear, sticky liquid that glistens in
the sun, as does dew, and from this the
name is derived. The liquid attracts in
sects, either by its appearence or its odor;
but when the unfortunate visitor seeks
to sip the tempting draught, the leaf
begins to coil inwardly and form a cup
from which escape is impossible. The
liquid runs down into the hollow and
collects into a pool, in which the insect
is drowned before being digested.
In the neighborhood of Wilmington
there grows the "North Carolina lly
catcher," a plant called "the miracle of
nature." This plant has leaves divided
into t wo lobes that sit at a little less than
right angle of one another, and are
fringed with tiny spikes. The upper
side of each lobe is covered with minute
glands that secrete a purple lluid, and
also has a number of sensative filaments
arranged in a triangle. If an insect
touches these filaments, the lobes shut
up like the leaves of a book, the two
parts turning on the middle rib as a
hinge, and the intruder is captured. If
it be very small, it can escape through
the spaces between the interlocking
spikes, but otherwise the leaf forms itself
into a temporary stomach, in which
digestion proceeds. The glands that
were dry before begins to secrete an acid
liquid of a purple color, containing an
enzyme like pepsin, in which the soft
part of the creature is disintegrated, and
as this proceeds the pressure is increased
until all the digestible matter is absorbed,
when the leaf gradually opens and the
dry husk is extruded. The leaf will
close on a bit of grass or stone as readily
is on a fly, but the fraud 19 quickly dis
covered, and the indigestible matter
rejected. The leaf is then ready to close
Again, even before it is fully opened,
whereas when digesting food material it
stays closed for several days, and is very
sluggish in shutting again. The most
vigorous leaves seem to be able to digest
only two or three times in a lifetime, and
the botanist Lindsay fed some specimens
with such quantities of meat that they
died from indigestion.
In Portugal there is a plant, known as
the Drosophyllum lusitanicum among
botanists that is so efhcient as a fly
satcher that the country people hang up
branches of it for this purpose. It
secretes a gummy, sticky fluid that en-
nugles insects and kills them.
The common bladderwort is a foe to
many small animals. It captures great
numbers of water bugs, and has been
nown to catch and kill small fishes.
From time to time the attention of fish
culturists is called to this plant as a foe,
but is not regarded as a serious one.
