TiJE .MAGIC OF LA'i'l.V. A tanner who was much troubled by trespassers during the nutting season consulted with a botanical friend. The botanists furnished him with the technical name of the hazel, and the farmer placed the following notice at conspicuous points about his premises:— “Trespassers, take warning 1 All persons entering this wood do so at their own risk, for, although common snakes are not often found, the Corylus Avelana abounds everywhere about here, and never gives warning of its presence.” The place was unmolested that .year, and the farmer gathered his crop in peace.
