WAS IT A CASE Of TELEPATHY Experience of Two Woaaea Friends -A ho Had Been Separated. "Telepathy or the faculty of thought ttansference, or whatever you're a uitnd to call It," said the average man the other day, according to the New York World, "seems to be making a ood deal of a stir nowodays. Person ally. I don't fall for these newfangled things very often, and the more 1 read the "wonderful experiences' cited by people to prove their theories, the more I wonder at their gullibility. 1 believe that In the few thousand year that we have been Inhabiting and blessing this mundane sphere by our presence, we have discovered about all the senses that we have. 'Something mighty strange hap pened la my own family, yesterday. however, that. If I were one of these easily convinced people, might make me believe that there la such a tning as telepathy. I look on It merely as a queer coincidence, but you can't con vince my wife, who was one of the prancipal actors In th? strange eveut. "'My wife used to be very Intimate with a woman whom we will call Mrs. Jones. They were together on shop ping trips, euchre scraps, bargain rushes and the like, four times a week. When one was away or unable to sea the ther, their correspondence was r-xtremely faithful. Thia IntJtnacy kept on for some years, and suddenly stopped. There was no reason, except that other Interests attracted my wife, and circumstances In general com bined to make them see less of each other. For perhaps a year the two women have not seen each other, and the letters, which were frequent at first, dwindled until the correspond ence, like the visits, entirely ceased. "The other woman moved, so did we. and neither family knew the oth er's address. Yesterday my wife was sitting tn the front room, writing let ters. Her desk Is near a window over looking the street After writing a while she looked up and said: " 'It's strange, but 1 can't help thinking about Mrs. Jones. I haven't seen her for a year, nor have I thought of lipr for weeks and months, but to-day she la In my mind all the time. I wish I knew where she lives.' " "Wish you did, my dear," said I, and went on with my reading. But In a little while she said again: " 'Don't you suppose you could find the Joneses' address :.i the directory? If you are not too tired to go out to the drug store ' ""All right,' said I, 'I will, In a lit tle while. Do yon want to write to berr "She went on writing a little while longer, and suddenly she gave a shout that made me Jump to my feet In fear that something had happened to ber. She was standing at the window gaz ing fixedly at a window In the apart ment house across the street, where another woman, gazing just as fixedly at our windows, stood. That other woman was Mrs. Jones. "My wife rushed downstairs and across the street and the two women met at the doorway of the apartment bouse. After the Imaginable caresses, tbey each told the same atory of hav ing the other constantly In ber thought and wishing she knew her address, so as to write a letter. And now they're good friends again. "Was It telepathy that made the two women think of eiy-h other as they were brought Into near association? I neglected to atate that the Joneses had just moved Into their apartment across the way from ours. You can't make Mrs. Jones and my wife -think that there wasn't a regular system of brain waves from our window to theirs, but I don't know. Seem strange, that' all." ' - FLOWER HAS OFFENSIVE ODOR. Peculiar Mir In th Philippine with ftcent of Decaying Flash. Two American teachers In the Phil ippine while walking some time since in the fields In the vicinity of Neuva Caceres, In southern Luzon, came across a pecullsr specimen of the Illy family of plants, says the Scientific American, which has not yet apparent ly been noticed by scientists. It waa while passing through. dens cluster of underbrush that th men noticed remarkably strong odor of decaying flesh which seemed to emanate from the ground close by. Suspecting the presence of some grew some thing concealed In the bushes, they commenced to search. Tbey were assisted In this by the presence of nu merous "blue-bottle" flies, which seem ed to be buzzing about some object half concealed under the dens veg etation. This object proved to be a plant Th strong mail of rotteunaa If given off by th plant attracted all manner of Insects, which was not sur prising, as th odor waa so strong as almost to repel all Investigation. The plant la called by th native Bicol "borac sa Mayo," that la. May flower. It bloom only during the month of May. It I no doubt a mem ber of the order lllaceae, better com monly known a th lily or tulip fam ily. It has the large bulb, the incon aplcuou calyx, th pronounced stig ma and th characteristic structure of lilies In general. The remarkable fea tures of this particular variety of lilies are that It has such a pungent odor and that It baa absolutely no leaves at the time of blossoming. These ap pear later, when th flower has died. The blossom rests Immediately on the ground and I not mor than eight or nine Inches high. Th calyx often measures a foot In diameter. After the blossom haa disappeared the leaves begin to sprout from the bulb. These often grow to the height of three or four feet Tbelr general shape Is similar to that of the leaves of the calla Illy, but they ar divided into an Irregular number of lobea or fronds. The corolla and the remarkably ex agerated stigma exude a clear viscous fluid, which seems to be th cause of the offensive odor. This fluid attracts the tiles, thus Insuring the transmis sion of the pollen from plant t plaut. The large bulb, tn fact, all parts of the plant, have the peculiar acrid Juice which Is so poisonous, a trait common to the lilaceoua order. The acrid taste and the poisonous effect of the Juice are lost upon cooking for several hours. During the period of frondes cence ther Is no odor present. This plant Is not used for food by the na tives where It la found, though tbee are several other species of th same order which ar highly eateemed by them as food. Aa to "Early" Vegetables. Every well-regulated family ougnt U have at leaat on cold frame and on hotbed, say the Garden Magazine. A cold frame differs from a hotbed in having no fermenting manure to sup ply heat and In being osed chiefly for protecting, over the winter, plants that could not live outdoors, such as tea roses, while a botbed 1 used chiefly to get fresh vegetable a month or more earlier In th spring. Both are, of course, cheaper than greenhouses, and both have other use than those men tioned above. A cold frame msy cost anywhere from nothing to $15. If on does not care about looks, a loosely thrown to gether frame-work, such as 1 used Ju the field and removed, leaving th plants to mature wher they started, wtll be found useful for some things, but the best thing Is to have a perm a nent structure which Is stoned, bricked and painted. One that will answer every purpose Is nothing more than a topless and bottomless box with a slope of a few Inches to th front which must face tho south or south east. Set It where there will be a fence or building to protect from north wind"' Fit the top with a sash which can ue lifted for airing and watering see that the soli Is rich and mellow enough for a garden bed; bank up th outside, and you will be ready to sow the seeds of Joy for yourself and of envy for your neighbor.
