UNFOLDING OF LEAVES.
Study Of Process Through Which Ma

From the Pittsburg Gazette.

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
Let us glance then over the crowd Of
leaves that unfold before us In the spring,
noting that even under the individual pc
culiarities Of families We can trace some
seven or eight broad lines of action TO
which all more or less conform. Conse
quently, In taking up one leaf We are TAX
ing up the type OF a number Of others. and
yet at every step out interest increases as
we see the individual asserting itself even
in following type.
The first to attract our notice are plants
which hold their leaves aloft and uncoil
Them flag like in majestic manner to well
come the spring The stem bearing each
leaf is continued as a strong rib up through
as flag is furled. In one of these We
recognize the arum lily, a stately plant,
which in Its warm and comfortable quar-
tiers. can well afford to be imperial In its
bearing. for 1t has none of the struggle
which such plant as the primrose knows
when it bravely faces the SHOWS of Febru-
airy al the bitter winds of March.
And the primrose leaves bear evidence of
the Struggle in their very attitude. They
are not held aloft like the arum flag, for
the cold would nip them through and
through. but instead each little leaf, putting
brave front on the matter, only appears
But turn over the baby leaf and you will
find two little tight rolls of delicate green
tissue wrapt away sungly on it's back be-
hind the rib. The more fragile parts of
the leaf naturally shrink from the cold
wind. and curl themselves up and shelter
behind the most robust parts.
Pick up leaves OF older growth, taking
them in their various stages from youth to
maturity, and you will see how gradually
the little tight coils unloose as the baby
leaf grows and becomes more able to bear
exposure. helped. too. in Its development by
the softenfng influence of approaching
spring. The rolls unwind. moving farther
and farther from one another, and the face
OF the leaf broadens at each side. until at
length the fullgrown familiar primrose leaf

dock leaves are among those that follow
the example of the primrose Ia curling

ability of the club to secure a first base
man. he has been playing that position,
leaving all the catching to be attended to
by Bemis. The young man went to Ceve-
land from Toronto. and is certainly one of

Billy Clingman missed getting Leon De-
montreville by the delay Of message at
Kansas City. Demontreville belonged to
the Rochester club through the reserve
rule, and the Kansas City Western League
was forced to return him. AS the Ameri-
can Association does not recognize the re-
serve ruie, there was nothing to prevent
his playing with Milwaukee, as he had not
signed a contract with Rochester. Demon
trev1lle was anxious to get with an associa-
ton club. but not getting prompt replies to
his messages he started for Rochester.

One curious feature in connection
with September fishing has been no
dced in more than one Maine trout
stream Although the fish are apt to
be larger in June they are oftentimes
more numerous just about this season.
Indeed, it is rare for a good sized brook
trout to be taken at this season of the
year. They seem plentiful enough but
the larger portion of them are but
mighty little larger than the law al
