SEEDS AND TREES.
How They Preserve vitality for N
Unusually Long Perfad.

London Evening Standard.
1t would be rash to affirm that I'M
der exceptional circumstances, es-
pecially when seeds have been kept
from contact with the air and in a dry
atmosphere. some of them may not
preserve their vitality for nm unusn-
ally long period. Beans have been
sprouted sixty years after
they were gathered and seeds OF
plants belonging TO the same
leguminous tribe taken from the her
barium of Tournefort. who fiourished
in 1854, grew into fruitlng plants in
the Jardin des Plantes In the year
1910. The seeds of the sensitive plant
are known to have been vital after
having been kept for fifty years; hafi-
cots have terminated after 100 years.
and there Is an undisputed instance
OF q grain of rye sprouting when 40
years old.
Still more TO the point. maize taken
from NJ apparently undisturbed Inca
tomb in Peru, which could not have
been closed less than three centuries
ago. showed \ feeble vitality and q
fact of q very remarkable charac-
ter. which renders dogmatism
unsafe, was recorded from near
Shrewsbury about the year 1871. In
cutting down a large elm tree a guam
iity OF acorns was found in q cavity OF
the trunk, though so completely in
closed by the growth OF the rec since
the squirrel or other animal had
placed them there that two feet Of
wood, showing twenty annual
rings, interviewed between the
acorns and the open air. Yet sevaera
of them gefminated. In these cases
the seeds were kept in a perfectly air
tight space. and entirely excluded
from any sgents likely To stimulate
termination or cause the decay of The
young plant We also know a famiI-
