Facts About Leaves.

As is well known, tree cannot grow
without leaves. These are put forth
every year, and are contrivance for
vastly increasing the surface. An oak
tree of good size exposes several acres of
surface TO the air during the growing
season. 1t has been estimated that the
Washington elm at Cambridge, Mass,
not a very large tree, exposes about five
acres of foliage, if we include both sides
of the leaves Leaves are more nearly
comparable to stomachs than lungs. A
leaf is a laboratory for assimilating or
manufacturing raw materials into pant
fabric. The cellular structure of the
leaves, wood and bark of q tree is a
complicated subject to treat in popular
way. Ii requires vast surface of leaves
to do little work. BY counting the
leaves on a Seeding oak, and estimating
the surface of both sides Of eaCh we
can see how many inches are needed to
build up the roots and stem for the first
year. After the first year the old stem of
the oak bears no leaves. 1t is dependent
on the leaves of the branches, or its
children, for support
A tree is sort of community, each
part having its own duties to perform.
The root hair takes up most of the nour-
ishment. The young roots take this to
the larger ones, and they, in turn, like
the branches of river pour the flood of
crude sap into the trunk, which conveys
it TO the leaves. The asSimilated or di-

The BabOOn and the Ostrich.

The baboon was on good terms with
all the animals of the neighborhood,
but took a great dislike to some Os-
riches which wandered about and Of
ten came close to him, not apparently
that they were necessarily unbeloved
by apes, but because they did some
very evil services unintentionally. lie
liked to get on wall under aquantity
of straw, which protected him from
the sun, and there he dozed away.
Now the ostrich has very bad habit
of trying to swallow orpeck at every
thing; nothing comes amiss Sc that it
can be swallowed, and they, one and
all, are constantly poking here and
poking there for most curious tld-bits.
This was the case with the ostriches
n the baboon's neighborhood, and it
now and then happened that as they
were "a the search for a novelty they
noticed his fine stout tail hanging from
the top of a wall. OF course the first
ostrich that was near gave it Il good
peck with his strong beaN, and doubt
less a good pull also. This was most
uncaled-for liberty, and not only woke
up the sleeper and hurt him, but also
offended his dignity. lie awoke full
of rage, and before the ostrich could
give second peck at the gristly NOR,
sci the furious baboon rushed from
under the straw, seized his enemy by
the neck, and culred his head most
soundly. lie hated ostriches ever al
ter. -CasSc!VS Natural history.
