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 -I mean other people. The trne months am) stomachs 01 plants are not to be found in the roots, bnt in the green leaves; their trne food is not sucked np from the toil, bnt to In. 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 took np water and mineral constituents -Cornhitt Magazine. 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.
