TUESDAY MORNING Muyß,ls6B Scientific— A Boston journal de scribes an extraordinary “frost flower” of Russia,which has been produced,it is said, in Boston, in a temperature of artificial cold, iu the following words:—This won derful plant, or rather flower, is found only in the northern boundaries of Sibe r:a, where the snow is eternal. It was discovered in 1863 by Count Swinoskoff, the eminant botanist, who was ennobled by the Czar for his discovery. Bursting from the frozen snow on the first day of the year, it grows to the height of three feet, and flowers on the third day, re mains in flower for twenty-four hours aud then dissolves itself into its original ele ement—stem, leaves and flowers being of the finest snow. The stalk is about one inch in diameter; the leaves, three in number, in the broadest part are an inch and a half in width, and are covered with infinitesimal cones of snow; they grow only on one side of the stalk, to the north, curving gracefully iu the same direction. The flower when fully expanded is in shape a perfect star; the petals are three inches in length, half an inch wide in the broadest parts, and tapering sharply to a point. These are also interlaced one with another, in a beautiful manner, forming the most delicate basket of frost work that the eye ever beheld ; for truly this is frost work the most wondeful. The anthers are five in number, and oil the third day after the birth of the“ flow' erofsnow”areto he seen on the extremi ties thereof, trembling and glittering like diamonds, the seeds of this wonderful flow er, about as large as a pin’s head ! The old botanist says when first he beheld this flower, “I was dumb with astonish ment; filled with wonderment, which trave way to joy the most ecstatic on be holding this wonderful work of naturei this remarkable phenomenon of snow. To see this flower springing, from the snowy ’’esert—horn of its own composite . re j, , , . . . - ,-re.i but it fell at my touch, and a morsel oF snow only remained in my hand.” Gath, ering some of the flowers in snow in or der to preserve the little diamond like seed, he liied to St. Petersburg with, to him the greatest prize of his fife time. All through the year they were kept in snow,_ and on the first day of the year follow ing the Court of St. Petersburg were de lighted with the bursting forth of the won derful “frost flower!” Our friends in Bos ton succeeded in obtaining several of the seeds, aud all through the summer and autumn they have been imbedded in snow brought at great expense from the White Mountains and the coast of Labra dor: and they now h.ave the most un bounded satisfaction and pleasure in announcing that ail signs arc favorable j to the realization of their fondest hopes, the production ot the “flower of snow.” The snow and ice are in a large glass refrigerator, with the thermometer forty five degrees below zero, and the solid bed ot snow has already begun to show little fissures aud a slight bulging in the centre ; unmistakeable evidences of the j forthcoming of the phenomenon. I —A benevolent lady went to visit a fam j fiy who were said to he almost starving j She found them half clad, cold, and not a morsel of food in the house. “What do you most ueed? What would you like to have?” she asked of the mother of the family. The woman thought for a mo' ment, her face brightened, and she an’ swered: “Why, I always did want a wa terfall ; they’re so beeomin’!” —A young man in Windham county, Va., wrote to a druggist in Norwich to send him some love powders, which should cause the lady of his love to re. turn his devotion. The druggist’s clerk sent back some lozenges, which contained | a good quantity of tartar emetic. These j were duly, administered, but the young [ man’s love suit was not greatly aided j thereby. ! —Punch mentions a great financial | reformer who is so devoted to figures j that, when he has nothing else to do he j casts up his eyes. —Why, if you paint a man’s portrait, j may yon be described as stepping into his shoes ? Because you make his feet yours (features). — London Punch. —The Fenians have become so dis' gusted with O’Mahony, as to spell his name Oh 1 Mahony. —When is a sailor most like a thief ? When he takes a messmate's watch.
