Dew from EXWdatiOn.
les Geographical Magazine.l

Goldthwsite's Geographical Magaznel
Another fact which has been known
for many years but which Mr.. Aitken
first recognized in its relation to dew,
is this: that some Of the moisture
commonly spoken Of as dew is merely
the emulation of water by plants. He
found by observation thai some plants
were wet, while Others close to them
were dry; and further, that the mois.
ture on many plants was not distrib-
uted as one would expect from the
process Of condensation, but had some
definite relation to the structure Of the
leaf. In the case of grass, for i'll
stance, the drops were found at the
tips of the blades, and not distributed
all over them. In order to test this,
Mr.. Aiken placed dry blade Of
grass under a receiver, where it could
GIT no moisture from the surrounding
air, and found that it exuded drop
Of moisture at its tip, Of the same size
as drops found on grass under the
ordinary conditions. From this he
concluded that the drops are not cons
densed from the air but comes from
the plant itself. Further experiments
showed that grass and other plants
become slowed" even when the
air Is not quite saturated; that on

many nights when there is no
condensation Of vapor these exuded
drops appear, that they Away
appear before true dew, and that those
plants which .xude drops are not wet
by rain. On grass the true dew of
condensation can easily be distn-
gui>hed from the false dew which is
exuded. The latter forms in drops
of some size near he tip of the blade ;
the former is distributed all over the
