Accounting for Nuts.

All nuts have to guard against squir-
rels and birds, and, therefore, their pc
culiarities are directly the opposite OF
succulent fruits. Instead Of attract
ing attention by being brightly
colored, they are invariably green like
the leaves while they remain on the tree,
and brown or dusky like the soil when
they fall upon the ground beneath. In
stead of being inclosed in sweet coats,
they are provided with bitter, acrid OF
singing husks: and, instead Of being
soft in texture, they are surrounded by
hard shells like the coacoanut,. or have
perfectly solid kernel, like the vegeta-
bic ivory. The origin Of nuts is thus ex-
actlv the reverse side of the origin OF
fruits.
Certain seeds, richly stored with oils
and starches for aiding the growth OF the
young plant, are exposed to the attacks
of squirrels, monkeys, parrots and other
arboreal animals. The greater part OF
them are eaten and completely destroyed
by these. their enemies, and SO never
hand down their peculiarities to any de-
scendants. But all fruits vary a little in
sweetness or bitterness, pulpy Or stringy
tendencies. Thus few among them
happen to be protected from destruction
by their originally accidental possession
of bitter husk, hard shell or a few
awkward spines or bristles. These the
monkeys and squirrels reject and they
alone survive as the parents Of future
generations.

Association has for II years valued its stock and
Inatured and paid off four series, amounting TO

which has engaged much of the time and thought of
the Secretary during the past few months after
reading the discussions of experts in the PhlodeI-
