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*.
