and villages he literally performed the
entire process himself, having insufficient
trade to justify the employment of an
assistant, and in larger cities he superin,

The Arrangement of Leaves.

The general arrangement of the leaves
on limbs and stalks of trees and plants
secures between each sufficient space to
prevent one leaf from interfering with
another. And not only are leaves so az
ranged as to exist independently of each
other, but in a general way they have
taken upon themselves the forms best
adapted to secure the maximum of sun
light as it is showered upon them in di--
ferent latitudes. At the equator, where
the suns rays are vertical, we find large
fiat leaves, like those of the banana,
plantain and the various species Of the
cactus.
Farther north, where sunlight strikes
at an angle, small leaves and pine
needles" arc found. Then, again, note
the popularity Of the Australian gum
tree-instead of exposing their broad
faces to the sun the edges only are Sc
turned. Were it otherwise the sun
would rob them Of all their moisture, ii
being a well known fact that the gum
tree grows in the driest region on earth.
