Imperialism is "the spirit of empire
An empire consists of a number of king
doms united together under one govern
ment and one ruler, usually called an enc
peror. The confederation of the German
states is called the German empire and
the title of the ruler emperor. Though
the British ruler is called a king-the
ling of England-yet the government Of
Great Britain, including, as it does, many
kingdoms and states under it is justly
called the British empire. In these
senses Christianity has ''the spirit of

a worth husband in Canterbury placed
his wife in a cattle pen and disposed of
her for five shillings. In 1855 the people
of Derby had the opportunity Of buying

Why They

summer and that it is the withdrawal
of some of the elementary eoIors that
transforms the leaf to its autumn hue.
He says:
Autumn leaves containing sugar, such
as the naples, sunsachs, gums, etc., cas-
lily oxydize. and thus forms the rich
reds puppies and violets $50 beautiful to
the eye. That is why these, especially
the hard naples, give the most beauti-
full autumn leaves. Autumnal oak leaves
do not attract admiration, because they
contain much tannin. The oxidation of
fannie acid is dirty brown. Leaves which
die quickly never give autumnal colors
The most gorgeous autumn leaves are
produced by a long-drawn-out fall, whose
days gradually cool from summer heat
to a winter snow. But if the frost should
come early and the weather should be
uneven, we need not expect the true au-
tunna1 splendors. A heavy, sudden and
early frost would kill all leaves alike, and
, turn them to q monotonous brown

A SCIENTIFIC OPINION

A SCIENTIFIC OPINION.
What produces the color In autumn
leaves? Why, the frost, most people
will say Immediately. The popular as
sumption that the brilliant hues are the
direct result of frost is not sustained by
a scientific examination of the problem,
made by Albert G. Wood, the physiolo-
gist of the United States bureau Of plant
Industry He stated that light frOsts, not
sufficient to kill leaves. greatly facilitate
their coEration by causing an Increase
within them of normal chemical ferment,
which attacks the color compounds or
color generators in the cells. It is the
oxidation of these color compounds by
this ferment he asserts, that produces
the various shades of color, especially
the puppies, oranges, etc. The yeIlows,
he says are normally present in the leaf.
The primary principle which DR.. Woods
lays down seems to be that all the ce1oBs
of which particular leaf is capable are
in the leaf as 1t hangs upon the tree in

TO change his name to that of Ernest

Would surely disclose.
But since you are you,.

WHERE WE CAN INITIATE.

In one respect, at least, America might
we'll initiate Germany, and that is in en-
couraging tree planting. At the present
time the forest area of that country is
larger in proportion to it's size than that
of America. The forest lands are under
the control of the government. The tim
Der belongs to the owner of the land, but
after once planting trees he is obliged to
keep the same amount of land in forest.
In this way the area in trees does rot
decrease, but is likely to keep on grow
ing. This rule applies to forest trees.
