April 30 the mercury remained con-
stantly below zero" This was prob
ably due to the strong exhalation of
water by the young leaves, throwing it
out faster than the roots could supply
it. In June this suction " gradu-
ally lessened and finally disappeared,
showing that an exact balance had been
reached between the supply of water
from the roots and the demand for it
caused by the processes of growth. The
same changes as above were noted in
the birch, except that the " suction "
was never so strong as in the maple,
and did not continue so long. An ex-
pertinent made with a birch root
showed that all the upward pressure
was fully accounted for by the absorb
tive power of the rootlets.

Reply to oh. A., COlebrOOk, n. H."

If | understand the sum and sub
stance of your article in THE WATCH
MAN of May 18th, you reject my view
that maple sap, in the spring, comes
do,On, and hold the old view that it
comes up. Well, this latter view is
theory, unsupported by facts. a theory
supported by facts is safe. As proof
that | am wrong, you instance the flow
of birch sap from the roots. Now why
do you cite this as proof? Are you
ignorant of the fact that these two saps
in their flow are governed by laws en-
tirely distinct? Maple sap ,ciU not run
,cithout frost, while birch sap will. A
statement that maple sap comes up in
the spring is equivalent to the state
ment that root absorption is true of the
maple-a statement that is easily dis
proved by simple and decisive expert
ment. Let any person disconnect (using
a saw a maple root from its trunk, and
then connect mercurial gauge to the
root by rubber hose drawn over the end
of the root that is disconnected from
the tree. Now watch for pressure, or
root absorption, and you will find none;
but, on the contrary, water will pass
down the gauge into the root Now,
lest there may be some mistake some
way, 90 to another tree and try the
same experiment, and you will find the
result the same. Professor Clark of
Amherst tried this same experiment on
the third tree, the result seemed so
strange to him. Perhaps you can see
some way out of it, but he could not
and | cannot Mr.. Clark says that the
grape and the birch saps flow by root
absorption, but he says that "root alb
sorption has no direct connection with
the flow of maple sap Again, Pro-
fessor Clark virtually SAYS that "the
detached root absorbed the water from
the gauge, so as to exert a suction, = n
but the pressure exhibited at any time
was scarcely worthy of mention"
Again, the professor says: "When a
cavity is cut into sugar maple tree,
sap flows dOrn from dbOre, while in the
birch it flows most freely from betOr."
! NOW II you cannot DelleNe IrOleSsOr
Clark or myself, please waive an opin-
ion so decided until you can try the eX-
pertinent yourself. Please do it when
the sap is running freely, and we will
all be one then-you cannot resist the
conviction that will be forced upon YOU
Let us experiment more and theOrize
less. | tried this experiment again, the
past spring, in the presence of two
thinking and intelligent men, who came
miles out of their way to witness it,
The moment the root was severed from
the tree the sap belo,C the saw ceased
its flow, but Adore the cut it continued
to flow the same, apparently not know
ing the root was severed-and were the
tube continued to the top of the tree it
would overflow. This has ceased to be
a theory, since ii has become fact. |
have tried four kinds of experiments to
test this one fact, and every one tells
the same story. | have even ascer-
tanned how fast the sap passes down
that is, how many inches ii passes inIso
many minutes. Time spent in remov-
ING objections is lost when the facts are

A gentleman recently returned from
New Orleans, hands us copy of the
Daily american, of Nashville, Tenn, con-
tanning the proceedings of the state legis-
lature, Of March 4th, the day of Cleve-
lands Inauguration, and in it we find the
remarks of various gentlemen while
measure for the relief of federal or con-
federate soldiers who lost both legs or
arms, or their use, while IN the late war,
was being discussed. We clip the fol-
lowing: "Mr. Cummings appealed to
every man who loved the sunny South
to vote for this bill. The general gov
eminent could pension federal soldiers
but the conledate it could not. He
would say that ne believed the cause for

Mr.. Cormack said: "They certainly
thought they were right. He did not
want to pass the bill because they lost
an arm or leg, but he wanted to pen
sion them because they lost them in the
confederate cause.

A Cunning Fox.

A fox has made an interesting contri-
button to the discussion on reason and
instinct in animals which is perplexing
a contemporary. In q recent run Of
the Fitzwilliam hounds, reynard being
hard pressed by his pursuers headed
for. the railway inc, and calmly lay
down on the permanent way. An ex-
press train was fast approaching, and
the chances were that the hounds would
get upon the line and be cut to pieces.
Reynard ensconced himself in a safe
position in the "sx-foot," and awaited
the event. There was nothing for 1t but
to give up the game to him. The
hounds were drawn off just in time to
avoid danger, and the fox made off
quietly. Was this reason or INSTINCT
Foxes can hardly be born with an in
stinct to lie down on railways in front
of an express when hard pressed by the
bounds. On the other hand the reason

hat u prudent master would not risk
