How the Bean Climbs the Pole.

Prof. Brewer of Washington College,
Penn. communicates to The AmeJican
Journal Of Science and ArtS the result OF
some experiments made by him on climb
ing vines-the hop, the Lima bean, and
the morning glory. He finds that they
will climb around a transparent glass pipe
just as we'll as anything else, and that
they are most ardent in their embraces
when the pole is warmer than the sar-
rounding air. During the day, the vine
is attracted toward the light, but at night,
and especially on cool nights. it turns to
the pole. He learned, also. that the col
or of the pole makes no difference the
caressing instinct of the vine has no pre-
judice against any shade The element
Of constancy is very largely developed
the vine, after it has reached its pole,
showing much stronger tendency to
wind around it than it did before to reach
it.

Gods Protection of Young Deer.

An old Canadian hunter declares that
the reason why the wild deer were not all
killed when young (as they breed once a
year and are always surrounded by 9th
er animals w hich prey upon them, as dogs.
wolves, bears, paothers. &c } is that mo
dog or 0ther animal can SnleH tie hack of
a doe or a~fawB, while the latter is too
young TO take care Of it~elfP He stated
that be had often seen it demons tr ated-
He had taken his dogs over the ground
when he bad just seen them pass, and
they would take no notice Of the track,
and could not be induced 20 follow when
taken to the spot, while they would in
stantly discover the track of any deer
not having young ones. This Is but one
proof of the adaptation of the natural
laws to presese life when it most needs
protection.

legs were crushed under the debris, stretched out
their arms piteously, imploring for assistance and
cries were heard from those whose position could
