FLO'YERS T''AT GIVE LIGHT
Tact Not Cfncrally Known Is That
M.-.ny Cemmen Plants Have a
Distinct Luminosity.
Most people have seen the plant
roll «|iii. Ily called tin' burning liush,
ami have struck a match ami applied
it to the feathery flowers and leaves
In order to see tile delicate flame run
over the surface of the plant without
ad'et til!-. hurling it! l!ut it Is not
so we!! l.jn vvt' that there are a num
ber of- (lowers which throw ofT lumi
noslt.v all their own. and among such
plants are Hie common marigold, cer
tain sorts oi lilies and the oriental
puppy, as well as that familiar (rod
popular favorite the nasturtium.
It is related that on a warm sum
mer evening in the year 170- the clev
er daughter of the famous Swedish
botanist. l.innetis, noticed that some
nasturtiums ifl her father's garden
were emitting tiny hut distinct flashes
of light: first one flower then another
would throw out an evanescent beam.
Though at first her assertion was re
• elve l with doubt. other Investigators
soon proved it to be true, ami It Is
now known that not only nasturtiums
but many other flowers exhibit this
luminosity. Camellias have been seen
to glow with a moonlike radiance.
Historic Slice of Beef.
The energetic press service of the
United States marine corps sends us a
bulletin from Ann Arbor, Mich., with
the following curious, if not Important,
information:
"A piece of beef cooked In 1805 Is
still being carefully preserved in a little
silver pitcher by Edward B. Manwar
ing of this city. This is not being kept
In anticipation of a further Increase
in the cost of beef, but is a genuine
heirloom.
"Sergt. Joseph llobbins of the Bri
tish Royal marines saved the piece of
beef, which he was eating when as
saulted with an ax by a cook on a
French vessel which had been eap
tured by L> rd Nelson at Trafalgar.
The cook missed his aim, but the
sergeant got the beef. Sergeant ITob
hlns was the great great grandfather
of Lieut. Col. Edward B. Man waring
of the I'nlted States marine corps."
