The leaf Is the essential and really
ism; it is ut once the mouth, the
stomach, the heart, the lungs and
the whole active part Of the vegcta-
bic orgln-vital mechanism of the
entire plant. Indeed, from the
Strictist biological point Of view
every leaf must he regarded as to
some extent an individual organism
by itself, and the tree Of the herb
must be looked upon rs m aggrc-
gate or colony Of su'h seplr Ite units
bound together much in the same
way as group Of coral pOlys or the
separate parts Of sponge in the
animal world. II is curious, there
fore, that 50 little attention, compar-
ativcly speaking, should have been
given to the shapes Of the foliage in
various plants. 'Thc causes Of which
have led to the different forms of
leaves" says Sir John Lubbock,
"havc been 50 faras know, explain
ed in few cases" Yet the origin of
50 many beautiful and varied natu-
raj shapes is surely worth Ia little con-
sideratiOn from the evolutionary
botanists of the present day, the
more 50 as the mainprinCiples which
must guide him in his search after
their causes are simple and patent
to every inquirer The great func-
tion of a leaf is the absorption Of
carhOnic acid from the air and its
deOXidation under the influence Of
sunlight. From the free carbon thus
obtained, together with the hydro
gen liberated from the water in the
sap, the plant manufactures the hy'
drO-CarbOn which forms the mass Ot
its various tissuses. Ncgetal life il
the true or green plant consists mere,
~ in such deoxidatlon Of carbOniC
acid and water, and Encouragement
Of their atoms in new forms, imply
ing the reception Of external energy
and this external energy is supplied

twenty-three hundred instead Of

pushed on through the stunted pines

our success. We pushed them back

INVNETORS.- Some Of the most
important inventions have been the
work of mere boys. The invention
Of the valve motion to the steam en-
gine was made by boy. Watt left
the engine in Il very incomplete
condition, from the fact that he had
no way to open or close the valves
except by means Of levers operated
by the hand. lie set up Il large en-
gine at one Of the mines, and a boy
was hired to work these valve levers.
Although this was not hard work,
vet it required his constant atten-
tion. As he was working these le-
.vers he saw that parts Of the engine
moved in the right direction and at
the exact time that he had to open
or close the valves. lie procured a
strong cord, made one end fast to
the proper part Of the engine, and
the other end to the valve lever, and
had the satisfaction of seeing the en-
gine move offwith perfect regularity
Of motion. Looking at the engine
he soon saw the ingenuity Of the boy
and also the advantages Of so great
an invention. Mr.. Watt then carried
out the boys inventive genius in a
practical form, and made the steam
engine a perfect automatic working
machine Mducbe'r Times.
