WHEN THE TREES co TO SLEEP.

When the woods put on their autumn
dress Of gold and crimson, and The
brow Of nature is bright with autumn
leaves" do the little folks ever wonder
why the plain green Of summer
changes so suddenly to such beautiful
glowing colors. Perhaps the grown
ups will say If they are asked. that
Jack Frost does it, But that is great
mistake. as we shall see if we only
take the trouble to think little. 1t is
in August, long before the frost comes.
that the red maple "crimsons to coral
reef" and it is in the years when the
frost comes late that the leaves color
most beautifully.
What. then, is the reason for the
blaze Of colors that makes the autumn
woods so beautiful? We do not know
exactly. Even the wise people who
write scientific books do not quite UNI
derstand 1t, but they do tell US few
things which it is interesting to know.
The yellow color in the leaves they
explain this way: The green color in
all plants is produced by something
called chlorophyll from two Greek
words meaning simply 'sleaf green"
The chlorophylI is made up of two sub
stances, one blush and one yellow,
and, as every little man or woman who
owns paint box knows, these two col
ors together make green. Now. when
the tree is getting ready for its winter
sleep these two substances separate,
the blue disappears and the yellow is
left to give its color to the leaf
The red color il not quite SO easy to
explain. bus 1t is produced BY the waste
mineral matter which has been collect
ing in the tree since last spring. This
is taken up by the roots in the water.
which it is their business to supply to
the tree. and is stored chiefly in the
leaves, where it is very much In the
way. but partly through the whole
tree. Now, before the leaves fall the
tree takes from the leaves everything
it wants to keep and gives to them
everything it wants to get rid OF, and
the collection OF all this waste matter
in the leaves has much to do with their
coi0ring. For this reason the color Is
most beautiful after rainy summer,
provided the fall is Of the right kind.
In rainy weather there is a great deal
Of water for the roots to take up, and
the more water taken info the trees
The more mineral matter is stored up to
color the leaves In the fall
The only color that Jack Frost has
anything to do with is dark brown.
That is the color Of death When the
delicate cells Of the leaves arc frozen
they die and turn brown
The falling Of the Leaves is another
thing for which Jack Frost is usually
held responsible. but with which lie
has nothing. On at least, very little. 70

During some years OF Queen Victo-

Affairs. His office made necessary
many visits to the Queen at Windsor
and Balmoral, and it was his custom
to send telegram ahead of him. He
always signed it simply with his last

with the Queen she said to him; .'Mr.
