The Secret ot <h« Maple.
No thoughtful person who has ever
visited a maple grove in * the earfv
spring while snow banks are yet lin
gering in sheltered hollows and lias
seen pailful lifter pailful of sweet sap
drawn from the auger holes In the
shapely trunks can have fatted to won
der what forces govern the flow of the
sap. When the warm sun touches the
treetops the flow Increases. A rise of a
few degrees in temperature often
causes a great increase of flow, if the
rise passes the zero point on the cen
tigrade scale—that ts, the freezing point
of water. Hut a considerable change of
temperature in which the fluctuations
do not cross the zero lino causes no
marked change in the flow of sap. L>r.
K. M. Wlegand, discussing those and
other related facts in the American
Naturalist, reaches the conclusion ttiat
neither expansion of gas In the wood
nor expansion of water nor expansion
of wood itself is the underlying cause
of the pressure which produces the
flow, tint Unit this pressure arises from
the effects of temperature in altering
the osmotic permeability of the pith
ray relit*.

Widows exist In ull countries, thus
counterbalancing the matrimonial de
cadence which might otherwise result
from timid men. Widows arc clinging
by temperament and attach themselves
readily to any object Unit can't help
Itself. It Is generally considered mi-
lucky to meet a widow on a dark piaz
za by the light of the moon. In many
countries to ho kissed by a widow
means endless trouble. Widows are
frequently accompanied by children,
whose number Is constantly liable to
Increase. They roam at large over
tin* priHcipal sections, and no man is
safe when they are near. All the per
fect men now dead have married wid
ows, thus forming n continuous con
trast to the miserable specimens who
still live. It has been said "Heware of
widows,” hut lids is unnecessary, for
no man can really help himself.—Life.
