An abstract of a recent paper by
Professor MacDougal, of the New
York Botanical Garden presents the
following conclusions, among others:
F~irst-Light exercises a direct chem
ical effect upon the substances of
which protoplasm is composed.
Second-1t stimulates protoplasm to
the formation of ~chlorophyll, although
Its action is not necessary to the pro-
cess, and its direct chemical effect dis
integrates this substance.
Three-It constitutes a form of en-
ergy which is absorbed by the chloro-
plasts.
Fourth-Absence of light constitutes
a distinct stimulus, calling out the va
rious reactions of e~tiolation.
Fifth-Light acts as a directive or
orienting stimulus to which the plant
responds by locomotory or bending
movements.
Sixth-Dlfferent portions of the spec
trum are operative in producing these
separate effects.
illumination is not necessary to the
mobility of protoplasm, nor does it ex-
ert a retarding effect upon growth. Its
chemical action may, however, hinder
the accumulation of somatlc material.
The altered development of plants in
darkness is an adaptive response
which has for its purpose the elevation
of the chlorophyll screen and reproduc-
tive bodies.-New York Sun.

sleeping in the woods awoke
and, smiling in the spring sunlight
prayed that it might be an Easter bios
som. All winter it had dreamed OF
this, nesting cozily down in the warm
soil at the foot of a great elm. One
day the Maylower saw a company OF
children out in the forest picking bios.
SONS for Easter, and it fairly trembled
with eagerness to be plucked and
borne away to celebrate the great day
upon which the Lord arose.
ooh! Don't you wish they would
come and take us also?' it whispered
to the kindly fernfrond which had
bent its tall head to shelter the little
white blossom from the r~ollicking
spring winds so often. The fern
frond waved its head decidedly, and
said mo"
But the Mayhower was still eager
to be carried off into the world away
from the woods.
isn't this little white Mayfower a
perfect darlingw exclaimed the boy
who had plucked it, offering the bios
som to the girl who stood nearest. "Pin
it on your coat lapel and wear it, the
pretty little thing"
But the girl shook her head, smiling.
mo, I will not wear it," she said.
'NThese wild flowers fade and droop so
very quickly unless you treat them
very tenderly indeed. And this par
ticular little flower is so beautiful and
perfect that l should like it for our
church tomorrow. See! We will lay
it away in this cardboard box of mine,
with some cool. wet ferns beneath and
above 1t, and 1t will come out as fresh
and bright as eve when we get home
and are ready to take the flowers to
the church."
The Mayiower was so pleased to
hear that it was to help in decorating
the church that 1t fairly trembled
again with joyousness. When the box
was opened late in the same afternoon,
however, and it knew itself being
transferred to a place lear the altar,
it grew very still.
