Earth and Mars, the direction of the paths
and the duration of revolutions in DAYS.
The earth path is formed by an elliptical

why Leaves Change Color.

A botanist has thus explained in Forest
snd Stream why leaves change in color:
The green matter in the tissue of leaf is
composed of two colors, red and blue.
When the sap ceases 10 fow in the fall and
the natural growth of the tree ceases, oxi-
fation of the tissue takes place. Under GER
tain conditions the green of the leaf changes
to red; under different conditions it takes
On yellow or brown tint. This difference
IN color is due TO the difference in combina-
ton of the original constituents of the
green tissue and to the varying conditions
Of climate, exposure and soil. A dry, cold
Climate produces more brilliant foliage
than one that is damp and warm. This is
the reason that our American autunns are
10 much more gorgeous than those of Eng
land. There are several things about leaves
that even science cannot explain. For in
stance, why one or two trees growing side
by side, Of the same age and having the
tame exposure, should take Oh q brilliant
red ia the fall, and the other should turn
yellow; or why one branch Of a tree should
be highly colored and the rest of the tree
have only yellow tint, are questions that
are as impossible to answer es why one
member of family should be perfectly
bealthysRd another sickly."

But it amt no use TO pray.
Your corn looks Just twice as nice as mine
Though YOU don't pretend to be
A shinin light in the church to shine,
An tell salvation's free.
'I'ye prayed to the Lord thousand times
For to make that ere corn grow;
An why yourn beats it so, an climbs,
I'd gin deal to know"
Said Farmer Gray TO his neighbor Jones.
In his easy, quiet way
"Whcn prayers get mixed with lazy bones,
They don't make iarmin' pay.
Your weeds. notice, are good an tall
In spite of all your prayers;
You may pray for corn till the heavens fall,
If you don't dig up the tares.
II mix my prayers with little toll.
Along in every row;
An | work this mixture into the soil
Quite Vigorous with hoe
AN I've discovered. though still in sin.
As sure YOU are born.
This Kind of compost well worked in
Makes pretty decent corn.
$50 while I'm PRAYING use my hoe,
An do my level best
To keep down the weeds along each row,
An the Lord, He does the rest
cts we'll to pray both night and morn,
As every farmer knows:
Bat the place to pray Tor thrifty corr
Is right between the rows.
You must use your hands while praying
though,
II an answer YOU would get;
For prayer-worn knees an a rusty hoe,
Never raised a big crop vet.
An 50 believe. my good old friend.
II YOU mean 10 win the day.
From plonghing clean to The harvcst's end
You must hoe As well as pray"
