MKhi-. liini-rt Plants.There nn- a number of plants and

flowers which give out a phosphorescentlight in the dark. Linnaeus first noticedthis phenomenon In the common nas-turtium, whose Bowers seemed to himto have a fni'it iridescence at night.Later obaervarlone bj others showedthat the light was atroi ger after verysunny tltiys. Among othi r ptai ts whichpossess this singular property are tbemarah Illy and the fraxinella. The lastnamed secretes a volatile oil whichoozes out during hot weather, spread.in a thin layer over the Bowers andforms a vapor which becomes luminousin the darkness, In tbecoal mines marDresden grows a species 'f funguswhich "exhibits the appearance of lu-minous festoons of shifting colors.n-La Nature.
