We say farewell with hearts that ache at
parting,
And voices trembling on the word, good by;
While from our eyes the foolish tears are
starting,
At friendships broken tie.
'Tis ever sad when loving friends al parted,
And pleas ant ways long trod by us divide;
Yet still tho dim our sight and Oft faint

Resisting Terrific Cold

That wonderful new substance, liq-
uid air, has recently been employed
at the Kew gardensin London for test
ing The ability of seeds to endure very
low temperatures. Seeds of various
plants were inclosed in thin glass
tubes, which were kept immersed in
liquid air. For 10 hours consecutive
ly they were submitted to a tempera-
ture varying from %. degrees TO BIB
degrees Fahrenheit below zero Then
they were slowly thawed. the opera
tion lasting 80 hours On being plant
ed, il was found that their germina-
tive power had o been ~appreciably

that seeds, when in a dormant condi-
ton, have their vital machinery alb
