pose in transferring the article TO the GO
lumus of the AViS is not to urge the same
point on the planters of Santa Cruz, but to
bring before them the very interesting sta
~tistical. information which the article con-
tains in regard to an important change
which is going on in the sugar industry all
over the world, the change namely i'll the
direction of carrying on the Manufacture on
a larger scale at each centre, SO astO ecOnO-

technical assistance. 1t will be seen that
this tendency has been shewn in the most
marked degree in those countries where
the sugar industry has been the most sue
cessful. Even in Louisiana, which does not
claim to stand in the first rank, the output
from each sugar house is shown to have
increased from 1l9 short tons (of 1000 lbs.N
in 1880 to 1913 short tons in the past year.

Why The Leaves Turn.

Probably not one person III thou
sand knows why leaves change their
color in the fail. = rem rked an eminent
botanist the other day. TIE common
and old fashioned idea is that all this
red and golden glory we see now Is
caused BIZ frOsts. A true and scientific
explanation Of these causes Of the color
ing Of leaves would necessitate long
and intricate discussion Stated brief
IL and In proper language. those causes
are these: The green matter in the
tissue Of the leaf is composed % two
ccl0rs. red and blue. When the sap
ceases 10 flow il the fall, and the nat
ural growth of the tree ceases, oxida-
ton OF the tissue takes place. Under
certain conditions the green 81 the leaf
changes 10 red: under different condit-
tions it takes on a yellow or brown tint.
This difference in color IS due 10 the
difference in com binatiOn Of the original
constituents Of the green tissue, and 70
the varying condition Of climate, expo
sure and soil. A dry, cold climate pro-
duces more brilliant foliage than one
that IS damp and warm This IS the
reason that our American antumns are
much more gorgeous than those OF Eng
land. There are several things about
leaves that even science cannot explain.
For instance, why one Of two trees
growing side By side, of the same age
AMI having the same exp sure. should
take on a brilliant red in the fall and
and me other should turn yellow or
why one branch of tree nave only
yellow tint, are questions that are as
impossible to answer as why one mem
Der Of family should be perfectly
healthy and another sickly. Naples
and oaks have the brightest colors.
