DO PLANTS MELT sNowp
According 20 Investigations of Mats
uraIIsts IL WouId seem That
They Do.

At the beginning of spring, before
the last snow has disappeared, nu-
merous plants put forth shoots that
pierce the layer Of snow above them.
This perforation, according to Ha-
dangard, a Swedish naturalist, says
the Literary Digest, is not the result
Of simple mechanical action due to
the growth Of the plant; but is due
to the heat given OFF by the plant.
This naturalis, has made a special
study of the question, and the results
Of his Investigations appear in the
Norwegian review Naturen, and are
reproduced by Ciel et Terre (Paris).
Several wild flowers were observed by
him, including the common anemone,
and he afiirms that the shoots put
forth so rapidly by these plants in
spring make their way through the
snow by melting It IN their path.
We quote further from Ciel ct rerrei
"Some Of the shoots have even sue
ceeded in thus pushing through lay
er of ice several centimeters thick.
In all cases, by means OF this melting
action, the plant forms a little chan
mel adapted 20 the size of the shoot
to which it gives passage. Those who
are not well up in vegetable physi-
ology win ask with some surprise
whether a plant really gives of heat
It certainly does. Tho plant, like
the animal, is an organism that
breathes, and we know that respira'
tion is an oxidation Of organic mate
rial accompanied by the emission OF
heat. This emission causes in GER
tain parts Of the plant an elevation
Of temperature that may reach p
to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. II gooi
without saying that these are exoep
lional cases. but il Is an established
fact that plants give on heat, Res
priation Is thus the great factor tina
causes The melting of the snoy
through which the plant grows. Thi
opinion certainly seems admissible a
hrst sight, and may form a starting
point for future interesting observe
