PLANTS AND SUNSHINE.
Takes Plenty of the Latter to Keep
the Former Green.
From Good Words.

From Good Words.
Even in the brightest room plants
are never of so rich a green as those
grown out of doors. In Il dark cellar
no Chlorophyll is produced at all. EV-
cry one has seen potatoes growing
there. with their long attenuated stalks
and little white leaves. which exist
but for IL time, and when the reserve
material in the tuber is used up. wither
away, because they have no light. TO
produce chlorOphyl the light must be
a, least of sufficient intensity that
this page may be easily read by it.
ard tn act as Il reducing agent ii must
be very considerably stronger. Every
one has learned by sad experience how
impossible it is to keep plants in their
rooms for any length of time, and the
reason is that the light is not bright
enough, ana what there is does not
last long enough to produce the ncces.
Sury quantity of food material to sup
port life,
There is another fatal thing to the
growth of plants indoors, viz, the
dryness of the air. and this can only
be overcome by covering over the plant
with a glass shade. AS plants die
from want of light. 50, loo. there are
some WnicI die from too much. Many
of the MOSES which cover damp.
Sha dy walls and banks with their soft
covering of green velvet die from too
great exposure to sunlight. And this
brings us to a most wonderful pros
vision of nature whereby many
plants are able to a certain
limited extend to regulate the
amount of light which fails upon
them. and that in two days. They
can turn the broad surfaces of their
leaves toward tho sunlight. so that
they are at risht-angles to the incl
dent ray, thus getting as much sum
light as possible, or they can turn them
at an angle so that they only receive
very little obiiquc light.

been correct without exception, has fur
nished his paper with a long letter con-
tanning Interesting details regarding the
Russo Chinese agreement on the subject
of Manchuria, Mongolia and Turkestan.
He proceeds to give facts concerning the
proposed internal administration or that
part of China, demonstrating that Man
churia will become an integral part of
Russia, more so than even Bokhara. In
regard to Mongolia there is no doubt a
protectorate has been established, as this
is evidenced by the hosting of Russian
flags everywhere, the thorough organiza-
ton of the districts, the establishment of
tax collecting Offices and the opening of
branches of Russo Chinese banks with no
one but Russian officials in charge.
All this virtually has aiken place during
the past six months and began before the
Boxer outbreak.
