variety I'm Creation.

There are about sc, 900 species of plants on ex-
hibition in the Museum of Natural History In
Paris. The whole number of species in earth
and sea cannot be less than four or five hun
dred thousand. These are of all sizes, from
the invisible forests in bit of moldiness, to-
the towering trees of Malibar, so feet in cir
cumference, and the bayans whose shoots cover
circumference Of Eve acres. Each Of these
has a complicated system Of vessels for the cir
oulation Of its juices. Some trees have leaves
narrow and short others-as the talipat of
Ceylon-have leaves so large that one of them
can shelter Is or 20 men. Some exuviate their
leaves annually, as whole robe, leaving the
tree nude, its bare stem towering aloof, and It's
branches spreading themselves uncovered in
the sky while the leaves Of others drop off one
by one, new ones are constantly growing in
place of the dismembered ones, and the tree re-
tanning its perpetual verdure.
There have actually been aseertained, in the
animal kingdom, about 10000 species of living
creatures. There are COO species Of mammalia
those that suckle their young-the most of
which are quadrupeds. OF birds there are 4, :
900 species of fishes, 5000; of reptiles, 700 ;
and of insects, $4,000 species. Besides these
there are 5000 species of shell fish, and not less
than eighty or one hundred thousand species of
animal cules invisible to the naked eye. VI
Some forms Of life require a moist atmos-
phere, others dry one. A blue water lilly
grows in the canals Of Alexandria, which, when
the water evaporates from the beds of the Ca
mails, it again grows and blossoms And some
OF the lowest animals may be completely dried
and kept in this state for any length of time,
but when they are again moistened they resume
the functions Of life. Some plants are adapted
only to particular climates others grow in diff
fsrent climates; but they do not flourish equally
well in these AS tree, which, in the South
ern States attain height Of one hundred feet,
at Great Salt Lake, the northern limit at which
II is found, becomes dwarfed to shrub of only
8 feet high. Life, both vegetable and animal,
velopment is only under these conditions to
which il is socially adapted. "How manifold
are thy works o God in wisdom hast thou
made them all % ,-- ..1
