HOW A PLANT FEEDS.

Van He1mont's Interesting Expert
meut Showing How a Tree Grows.
1t is more than 1000 years since phil
osophers began to speculate about the
food Of plants and what we may term
their digestive" processes, but it is
only during the latter half of this cen
tury that really clear and definite no.
tions concerning the food supplies of
the vegetable world have been gener-
ally accepted by scientific men. AS far
as is known, says a writer IN Knowl-
edge, the first botanical experiment
ever performed was conducted by Van
Helmont. He placed in pot 200
pounds of dried earth, and in 1t he
planted willow branch which weigh
ed five pounds. He kept the whole COW
cred up and daily watered the earth
with rain water. After five years
growth the willow was taken up and
again weighed, and was found to have
gained 164 pounds. The earth in the
pot dried and weighed, and had lost
only two ounces.
knowlege was not yet sufficiently ad-
vanced to enable Van Helmont to inter-
pret these striking results correctly, and
he came to the erroneous conclusion
that the increased weight of the plant
was due to the water which had been
supplied to the roots. He therefore
looked upon this experiment as sup
porting the theory which he had ad-
vanced, viz, that plants required no
food but water. Stephen Hales ad-
vanced the subject great step by in
dicating that much Of the increase in
weight Of plants was derived from
carbon dioxide in the air.
Vegetable cells contain a liquid
known as "cell sap" which is water
holding in solution various materials
which have been taken up from with
out by the roots and leaves. These ma
terials are thus brought in contact with
the protoplasm, which causes them to

dreamed of, legislated upon and striven
after for half century. 1t means that
the expressed fears Of Federal engi-
neers, Of communities dreading water
contagion, Of shippers anticipating a
loss of commercial prestige, the deple-
tion Of our lakes, have all been set at
rest. 1t means that the Hennepin canal
idea-the father of the sanitary canal
Is in fair way of accomplishment,
and by the use of grand natural wa
terway the largest chain of fresh water
on the globe unites with one of the
largest rivers in the world, piercing a
mighty nation down it's middle.
Never since the first hasty $4,000 sur
vey was made in the shallow Illinois
has the general government been able
to rid itself of the idea that the frui-
tion of the plan would encompass the
triumph of the grandest scheme of in
ternal improvement ever undertaken in
this land. The first great step to con-
summate all this is the proposed turn
ing over Of the Chicago River to the
drainage canal trustees, to enlarge, to
improve, to change, on the same prin-
ciple that can make Of the veriest creek
in the land that would not float a skiff
a channel wide enough and deep
enough to float warship of the first
class with a draft of twenty eight feet.
Without a particle Of improvement the
Chicago River can to-day carry vessels
which haul 100000 bushels of grain
