A GROWING TREE.
Two Things That Nature Invariably
Does to Protect II.

Two Things That nature Invariably
Does to Protect IL.
Nature invariably does two things
when she tries to grow a tree-she
protects the bark from hottest sun
shine and the roots from severe
changes Of temperature. Both these
points are almost invariably overlook
ed by man. Observe a maple or elm
or birch ar II shoots from the ground.
Its sides are clothed all the way with
small twigs unless removed by knife
or browsing. Any tree starting in an
open lot is thus protected from the
sun. Otherwise the extreme heat will
rupture cells, and the bari; will dry
and split. AS far as possible there
must be equal development Of cells on
all sides OF the tree But care OF the
roots is even more important
The feeding Of tree is at unequal
depths, but most Of Il IS near the sur
face. II the sun be allowed to strike
directly on the soil the finer rootlets
that do the foraging are destroyed,
and extreme droughts viii affect the
roots for foot in depth. What is
worse, the extreme changes Of tenn
perature also affect the tree and suck
its life away. In some cases such
conditions are produced as encourage
the development Of fungi OF other enc
mics to plant life. Nature guards
against this by laying down each au-
tumn a layer OF leaves to mulch heI
forests or solitary pets

1t is popularity believed even in this
day and age Of the world that bees die
almost Immediately after using their
stings. This may be true; in fact, !
believe that 1t is so stated on good au-
thority. But what do you think of the

Pliny, a writer Of the first century
after Christ. says: "Serpents, no odds
how poisonous the variety, can hurt
but once; neither kill they many to-
gether, TO say nothing how. When they
have bitten or stung a man they die
for very grief and sorrow that they
have done such a mischief, as If they
had some remorse or conscience after
