Show There has just ben discovered In the Far East a species of tho acacia tree which closes Its leaves together in coils each day at sunset and curls Its twigs to the shapo of pigtails. After the tree has settled itself thus for a night's sleep, If touched the whole thing will flutter as if agitated or impatient nt being disturbed. Tho oftcner the foliage Is molested, tbo more violent becomes tho shaking of the branches, and nt length tho tree emits a nauseating nau-seating odor, which, if Inhaled for a few moments, causes a violent dizzy headache. It has been named the "angry tree." |
