Life and the sun.

All the energy Of life is derived ull-
mately from the sun. 4 little Of this
comes indirectly through lightning
which in passing through The air forms
ammonia and oxides Of nitrogen. These,
being carried by rain into the ground
are the constant source Of nitrogen for
vegetable and Indirectly FOR animal
life. A much larger quantity Of energy
IS well known to be taken direct from
the sunshine by plants and used in
their anabollc processes. This energy
is appropriated by animals In the.r
food. and whether in the vegetable O.
In the animal it assists in any alterna-
tions Of the system before il IS COM
pletely dispersed.
