Nut from the Ground.
Take nn ordinary seltzer water siphon
and empty it till only a few drops re
main in the bottom. Then the bottle it
full of gas, and tlmt gas, which will
rush out with a spurt when you press
the knob, is the (tuff that plant* eat—
raw material of Ufe, both animal and
vegetable. Tbe tree grows and lives by-
taking in tbe carbonic add from tbe air
and solidifying Its carbon! the animal
grows and lives by taking tbe solidified
carbon from the plant and converting it
once more into carbonic acid.
That, in its ideally simple form, to tbe
Iliad in a nutshell, the core and kerne)
of biology Tbe whole cycle of Ufe to
one eternal seesaw First the plant col
I nets its carbon compounds from the air
in the oxidised state: it deoxidizes and
rebuilds them, and then the animal pro
ceeds to bnrn them by slow combustion
within its own body and to tnrn them
loose upon tbe air once more oxidizeiL
After which the plant Harts again on
the same road aa before, and the animal
bIbo recommences da capo And so on
ad infinitum
Bnl the point which i want particu
larly to emphasize here to just this: That
trees and plants don’t grow nut of the
gronnd stall, aa most people do vainly
talk, bnt directly out of the air. and
that when they die or get consumed
they return once more to the atmosphere
from which they were taken Trees tin
deniabiy eat carbon.
Of course, therefore, si] the ordinary
unscientific conceptions of how plants
feed are absolntely erroneous. Vegetable
physiology indeed got beyond thoee
conceptions a good hundred years ago.
Bnt it usually takes a hundred yean for
the world at large to make op its lee
way Trees don’t anck np their nntri-
went by the roots, they don't de-ive
their food from the soil, they don’t need
to be fed like babies through a'tube with
terrestrial solids. The solitary 1 instance
of an orchid bong np by a string iu
conservatory on a piece of bark onght to
be sufficient at once to dispel forever
this strange delusion—if people ever
thought; but. of course, they don't think

haled through tiny channels front the
air; the mass of their material to carbon,
aa we can ail see Visibly to the tmked eye
when a log of wood is reduced to char
coal. and that carbon the leaves tliem-
aelves drink In by a thousand small
green months from the atmosphere
around them
But how about the jnlce, the sap, the
qualities of theeotl, the manure required,
to the incredulous cry of other people.
What is the nse of the roots, and cepe
dally of the rootlets, if they are not the
mouths and supply tubes of tbe plant*?
Well, I plainly perceive 1 can get “no
forrader,” like the fanner with his claret,
till I’ve answered that question, 'pro
visionally at least; so I will say here at
once, without farther ado, that the plant
requires drink as well as food, and the
roots are the months that supply it with
water.
They also anck np a few other things
as well, which are uecessary indeed, but
far from forming tbe bulk of the nutri
ment. Many plants, however, don't
need any roots at all, while none can
get on without leaves as months and
stomachs—that is to say, no trne plant-
like'plants, for some parasite plants are
practically toali intents and purposes
animals. To pnt it briefly, every plant
has one set of aerial montba to sock a
carbon, and many plants have another
set of subterranean mouths at well, to

This Uag Knew a Good Thing,
It wonld be quite impossible for any liv
ing being, it wonld seem, to be insensible
to the charms of camp life. One morn
ing when tbe Listener was in camp, a
queer looking black dog of uncertain race,
bnt broad between tbe eyes,like all intelli
gent doge, suddenly popped into tbe piece,
evidently upon some journey around the
lake. He looked about him in astonish
meat, and then- sat down and looked
again. Then be settled instantly down,
in a sort of glad, grateful way, which
was as innub aa to say, “This is exactly
the sort of place that Oa always been
looking fori" Not another step did he
stir on tbe jonrney
He adopted the camp from that mo
ment and everybody in it. Nobody
knew where he came from or to whom
be belonged. He was a total stranger to
tbe people who lived on tbe farm not
far away. He slept in front of the tent
at night, and barked at any sthuiger who
came that way, and answered amiably
to the name of Liberty Moses. No doubt,
when the camp broke np, be went hack
to his more civilized home, wherever il
was, bnt aa long as that charming spot
remained in existence there was no other
place for him.—Boston Transcript
