the Death Plant of Java
"A magnificent kali mujah or death
plant of Java lias been recently re-
ceived in Philadelphia.” says the
Times of that city "by Mrs. Madison
Black. This specimen which is the
only living one that has ever been
brought to this country was sent
to Mrs. Black by her brother Jerome
Hendricks who went out as a mis-
sionary to tiie island. Tne kali mu-
jah is found only in the volcanic dis-
tricts of Java and Sumatra and then
rarely. It grows from 2to 3 1-2 feet
in height with long slender stems
armed with thorns nearly an inch
long and covered with broad satin-
smooth leaves of a heart shape and of
delicate emerald on one side 'and
blood red streaked with cream on the
other.
"The flowers ot the death plant are
large milk white and cup-like being
about the size and depth of a large
coffee cup and having the rim guard-
ed by fine brier-iike thorns. The
peculiarity of the plant lies in these
flowers which beautiful as they are.
distill continually a deadly perfume
so powerful as to overcome if inhaled
any length of time a full-grown man
and killing all forms of insect life ap-
proaching it. The perfume though
more pungent is as sickening sweet
as chloroform which it greatly re-
sembles in effect producing insensi-
bility but convulsing at the same
time the muscles of the face especial-
ly those about the mouth and eyes
drawing the tormer up into a grin.
An inhalation is followed by a violent
headeche and a ringing in the ears
which gives way to a temporary deaf-
ness often total while it lasts.
"Other plants seem to shun the
kalli muja.which might be termed the
Ishmael of the vegetable kingdom
for it grows issolated from every oth-
er form of vegetation though the soil
about it may be fertile. All insects
and birds instinctively seem to avoid
all contact with it but when accident-
ally approching it have been observ-
ed to drop to the earth even when as
far from it as three feet and unless
at once removed soon die. evincing
the same symptoms as when ether-
ized.”

County Clerk Thad. Smith who
was awakened at 3 o'clock Tuesday
morning to issue the license to the
printer was aroused at 1 o'clock yes-
terday morning and asked to issue
a marriage license to some parties
who came in a hack and said they
wanted to get away by the early
train. They could not tell which
train but were very urgent. The
obliging county clerk began dressing
to go to his office and while doing
so the parties drove away. Who they

A Permanent Advertisement
The Light is in receipt of a circu-
lar letter from Mr. T. A. Wilkinson
commissioner ot immigration for the
Fort Worth and Rio Grande railroad
requesting information as to what San
Antonio would do toward aiding in
fitting out an advertising car that
will be sent among the northern
states to distribute advertising matter
and carry an exhibit ot Texas pro-
ducts much in the same manner as
the perambulating California on
wheels that passed through here last
winter. Any town can secure space
tor exhibits in this car and any litera-
ture will be distributed free of
charge by paying $225 for three pages
of space in aii illustrated and descrip-
tive work on Texas gotten up by that
railroad and any town so doing will
be furnished glass jars for preparing
exhibits free of charge and such
other aid as the road can give. The
object of this is to induce immigra-
tion and the Light suggests that
the board of trade give it their con-
sideration.
Business Men’s Prayer Meeting
Commencing Saturday noon the
Young Men’s Christian association
will hold daily prayer meetings for
the benefit ot the business men ot the
city. The services will last half an
hour from 12:15 to 12:45 and a short
