Show THE : SALT LAKE TIMES, TUESDAY-EVENING- , APRIL I, 1890. 5 dropped. A lump of raw meat being I thrown it, in the short time of rive iniu-ute- s the blood will bo thoroughly drunk up and the mass thrown aside. Its vo-racity is almost beyond belief, it devour-- , ing tit one time over ten pounds of meat, though it may be deprived of all food for weeks without any apparent loss cf vi-tality. Mr. Dunstaa attempted to bring away a root of the eagenas, but it died du.ing his return voyage, growing eo foul with a strong odor of real animal corruption that he was obliged to get rid of it. New Orleans Cor. Atlanta Consti-tution, "WW r ' A DANGEROTJ3 PWNT. ., It Sacks the Blood of Whatever Comes ta Contact with It. Leroy Dunstan, the well known natu-ralist of this city, who has recently re-turned from Central America, where he had spent nearly two years in the study of the flora and fauna of the country, relates the finding of a singular growth in one of the rwunps about 'JL great lakes of Nicaragua. He was engaged in hunting for botan-ical and entomological specimens in this swamp, which is known as 8aa Sebas-tian's, when he hesjfid his dog cry out aa if in agony from wSJscance. Running to the spot from which the animal's cries came, Mr. Dunstan found him enveloped in a perfect network of what seemed to be a fine, ropelike tissue of roots or fibers, the nature of which wm unknown to him. The plant or vine seemed composed en-tirely of bare, interlacing stems, resem-bling more than anything else the branches of the weeping willow denuded of all foliage, but of a dark, nearly black hue, and covered with a viscit? gan 'hat exuded from the pores. D bow-ing- his knife, Mr. Dunstan endeavored to cut the animal free, but it was only with the greatest difficulty that he suc-ceeded in severing the fleshy, muscular fiber. To his horror and amazement the naturalist then saw that the dog's body iu covored with blood, while his hair-less skin appeared to have been actually sucked or puckered in spots, and the ani-mal staggered m it horn weakness and exhaustion. In cutting the Tine thu twigs curled like living, sinuous fingers about Mr. Dunstan 's hand, and it required no slight force to free the member from its cling-ing grasp, which left the flesh red and blistered. The gum exuding from the vine wm of a grayish dark tinge, re-markably adhesive and of a disagreeable animal odor, very powerful and nauseat-ing to inhale. The native servants who accompanied Mr. Dunstan manifested the greatest horror of the vine, which they call la sagenas de diabie, the devil's seine or snare, and were full of atones of its death dealing powers. One af these stories was of an English-man residing in Managua, who, while hunting iu the swamp a few years ago, lay down beneath a tree where a large and powerful specimen of this singular plant was growing, and, inadvertently falling asleep, awoke to find himself en-veloped in its web, and in spite of every effort made to extricate him, perished in its deadly embrace. Another story was of an escaped con-vict who had hidden in the swamp, whose bones had been found in the folds of the sagenas only a short time before Mr. Dunstan's visit. These stories, re-markable a they seem, are firmly be-lieved in by tho people, but tho only three specimeus which Mr. Dunstan was able to find were all small ones, though the meshes of the largest would prob-ably, if extended in a straight line, measure nearly, if not quite, 100 feet. He was able to discover very little about the nature of the plant, owing to the dif-ficulty of handling it, for iu grasp can only be torn away with loss of Gkin and even of fle3h, but, so near an Mr. Dunstan could ascertain, its power of suction ia contained in a number of infinitesimal mouths or little suckers, which, ordina-rily closed, open for the reception of food. The gum exuded seems to serve the two fold purpose of increasing its ten-acity and overcoming a victim by its sickening odor. The plant is found only in low, wet places, and usually beneath a large tree, and while dormant seems only a network of dry, dead vines cov-ering the black earth for several feet, but coming into contact with anything will instantly begin to twist and twine upward in a horrible, lus like manner, breaking out with the gum like substance spoken of before, and tnwrap the object with a celerity almost incredible.

End of al Long Lawralt.' ' An extraordin&jy lawsnit, which com-menced Sept. 13, 1768, has just been con sluded, after haying lasted 121 years, la ;he year 1410 Bishop Domendy, of Ncu-ff- a, in northern Hungary, died, leavi..- - his immense estates to his family. Owing, however, to the Turkish invasion of Hungary at that time, the bishop's rela-tives were unable to rake possession of the property. After the invasion it was found that the number of persons who had a right to share in the property wa upward of a thousaud. As they were unabjo to agree among themselves as to the division of the es-tates, an appeal was made to the law. The courts of justice were so afraid of doing injustice by precipitate action that all the original heirs, and even the next two generations, had passed away before a decision was arrived at. Meantime the expenses of the law and administration had to be paid, and while these have well nigh swallowed up the once vast fortune, the heirs have increased in number to more than 2,000. Now that the judg-ment of the court has been delivered, the bishop'a descendants find that property that should have now been worth prob-ably a quarter of a million has melted down to something over 3,000, out of which they havo still to pay a lawyer's bill of 1000. This will leave the" for-tunate heirs at least a sovereign apiece. London Standard. ' STREET CAR TRAVEL, A Remarkable Increase Hlnve the Intro, ductlon of Electricity. The secretary of the street car com-pany haa made out a statement regard-ing the amount of travel over the lines which is of interest. In January, 1888, when mule power was in fashion, 12,180 passengers rode. Iu February, 40,100. In January, 1839, 51,930 passengers were carried, while in February, 19,020 people, who were in no hurry, rode down town and back home. But mark the difference. In January, 1890, 165,050 passengers were carried, an increase of 110,670 over the first month in 1889, while in February, 196,175 fares were collected, an increase of 110,255. The increase for the two months is 265,-92- Who says that rapid transit is not desirable? A Pauper's Sad Ufa. Recently a poor, demented being, about 50 years old, was brought to the Waterviile house by a man by the name of Light, from Palermo, who left him to be cared for until the following Monday. The man, Amos Murray, bas been a pau-per since he was 8 years old. From time to time tho support of Murray haa been sold at auction; the last time he waa bid off by a Mr. Light, who was to clothe and feed him. for $10 per annum, the balance of the ta peases of keeping him alive and in working condition eomtnt; out of his body as a slave. Light sub-let Murray to another person by the name of Prescott. The pauper ran away from his last owner and found his way to Waterviile. lie was a mass of rags, his feet being incased in pieces of old gunny sacks, and he was hungry, tired and exhausted. Landlord Waite cindly cared for him and, finding him sick, gave him extra attention. , The man who brought him disappeared, and when he returned next day his poor unfortuuate was dying. Saturday he died, and his remains were taken away by the person who bid off his supxrt. - Kennebeo Journa- - BETTER FACILITIES KEOCIKKD. A Needed Reform in the Salt Lake Post-offlc- e.

While the postmaster himself is not responsible for all the defects, there is one thing that might be done which would facilitate the work at the general delivery and not only give better satis-faction to the public, but would relieve the clerks of their arduous duties. The general delivery should be en-larged and instead of one window there should be two. The first would embrace all matter from A to M while the second would run from M to Z. This is the plan adopted by all the large oSices in the east, and a trial of the plan here would double the facilities for distribu-tion. - A JiEW OFFICE CREATED. Appointment or J.
