SeLf-Protection In Plants

Young loDg-leaf pines. according to
Mr.. Pinchot OF the department OF agri-
culture. protect themselves against for
est fires in a most interesting and re-
nlarkable manner. For four or five
years the stems Of the infant trees at
tain a height OF only as many inches
above the soil During this time their
bark is extraordinarily thick. and that
alone gives some protection. But in
addition the long needles spring up
above the stem. and then bend over on
all sides in a green cascade which
falls TO the ground in circle about
the Seeding" This green barrier
can with difficulty be made to burn.
while the shade that it casts prevents
inilammable grass from growing near
the protected stem. MIR. PinchOt thinks
that it is owing to this peculiar sys-
tenn OF self-protectiOn which the pine
seedlings have developed that the
growth Of evergreen oaks in Florida
has been restricted III regions where
fires have ragged while pure pine for
ests have taken their place

The water tanks carried sixty gallons.
Finally, after being used fer about ten
years. the city authorities forbade It's

was taken 10 Long Island, where it

In Germany the granulated Stag from
blast furnaces is being utilized for the
manufacture Of brick. The making of
Stag brick is not q new thing. but here
tofore fluid Stag has been employed for
The purpose. and the brick thus pro-
duced has been found unsuitable for
building purposes because it is imper-
meable to air and steam. But the
Stag bricks made in Germany are. it
IS said. not open TO this objection On
the contrary. while exceeding the
strength Of ordinary bricks. and pos
sessing an extraordinary resistance to
heat. they are more permeable to air,
and consequently are we'll suited for
the building Of houses. They do not
absorb water as rapidly as ordinary
