Regarding the emission Of carbonic
acid and the absorption Of oxygen by
leaves kept in darkness, Deherain and
Maqusnne observe that in Euonymus
japoniea, the plant selected for expert
ment, the carbonic acid given Off ex-
ceeds the oxygen absorbed. Thus the
respiratory phenomena Of leaves consist
not merely in transformation Of the
oxygen absorbed into carbonic acid, but
also in the production Of carbonic acid
from internal consumptions similar to
those which take rise in lamentations.

There was q general increase Of business both

that as regards o letter passing between the
