PREPARING FOR WINTER.
now Nature Puts on Her Heavier Gmrh
and Makes Ready aor Cold
weather.

DR.. Andrew Wilson writes In the II
lustrated London News: The story cf
the fall Of the leaf is an interesting one.
1t teaches us how nature prepares for her
of season. In one respect at least The
vitality OF the leaf is lessened. les sap
no longer suflces for its nourishment.
and even Ii the vital fluid were supplied
to the leaf its cells. worn out. are no
longer capable OF utilizing the nouEish-
ment Afforded. Then comes a time when
nutrition fails. Ii 10 not demanded and
nature cuts of the supply. Changes now
ensue in the structure OF the leaf We
find layer of corky substance formed
between the leaf-stalk and the branch.
Cork is always in plants. tissue Of low
vitality; when 1t is fully formed II repre-
sents practically q dead substance. This
layer. therefore, serves as the boundary
line between that which is living in the
plant and that which Is dead or dying in
the leaf Then comes dryness, always
fatal to plant-tissues The corky layer
shows line of demarcation which rap
idly becomes more and more distinct and
finally the breath of the autumn winds
causes the separation to be completed
and the dead deaf leaf falls to the ground.
Animal life also exhibits its own and
characteristic changes by way OF prepar-
alton for the rigorous winter. The plum
age Of the birds grows heavier and their
downy coat grows thicker. There will
be changes in color illustrated as well.
assimilating the plumage for the most
part to the winter surroundings. Thus
is illustrated that sympathy between
the living being and its surroundings
which Is characteristic of all living ma
ture. Such sympathy Is seen in the color
of the grouse and the partridge. in the
tint of the sole as 1t lies on the sand and
in the varying color moods Of the octopus
as 1t clings to its rock. How this sym
pathy between animal and surroundings
has been brought about Is a puxzling
matter. do not know that any zooIog-
ical theory has yet been formulated
which can wholly account for It.
1T is curious TO note how the animal
may run parallel with the plant in re-
spect to its variation OF activity accord
ing to the seasons OF the year. Your
dormouse, your bat and your bear retire
TO winter quarters we'll fed, plump and
fat They slumber away the cold
weather. Life is slowed down. and It's
fires are, as,it were. banked up. Exis-
tence is supported on the store OF fat
which the summer has accumulated
This store is duly absorbed and In the
spring the animals emerge lean and
meager after their Information. Here
we find a distinct relation to the ways
OF plant life"

high as 100000 to S0,00O,000, but
in either event it is not much, and the
