SLEEPING PLANTS

Plants sleep much the same as ami
mails. Their sleep is quite real, and its
reality can be shown. Perhaps the best
marked form of slumber in the vege-
table world is that of the great winter
rest when so many species retire alto
gether under the sheltering soil, and
there lie dormant, side by side with the
slumbering animals. How does the long
winter rest of animals differ, after all.
from the winter rest of the crocus or
the hyacinth, which withdraw all the
living material from their leaves in
autumn and bury themselves inches
deep in the soil in the shape of bulb
till February rains or April suns tempt
leaves and flowers out again? The
whole vast class of Dubious and tuber-
Gus plants, indeed-the lilies, orchids,
daffodils, narcissi, tulips, squills, blue
bells and snowdrops-are they not just
alternating creatures, which retire un-
derground in autumn with the slugs
and the queen wasps, to reappear III
spring about the same time with the
return to upper air of the moles, the
tortoises and the fritillary butterflies?

ISLAND OF SULPHUR

About thirty miles from the shore in
the bay of Plenty, North Island, New
Zealand, an immense rock, or rather
series of rocks, three miles in cir
cumference, rises precpitously from the
sea to a height of $50 feet. 1t is a
desolate island, only inha by the
wild sea fowl, and almost forgotten
save by the few pnen who occasionally
visit the island to mine the sulphur.
White Island is the name given to this
spot, and certainly it would be difficult
to hit upon a more applicable title, in
asmuch as it is constantly enveloped
in thick impenetrable clouds of white
vapor, which rise more than 10000 feet
in height thus making White Island n
conspicuous object for many miles
around. The island is practically one
mass of sulphur. while the clouds of
vapor constantly issuing from the
craters are highly charged with sui
phuric and hydrochloric acid fumes, so
powerful at times that the sulphurous
odor can be discerned sixty miles away.
So impressive is its appearance from
the sea and so abruptly do the rocks
rise from the waters edge that at first
sight it seems impossible to effect a
landing, but as the steamer sweeps
around the southern side of the island
into Crater bay a beach comes into
view, small, it is true, but sufficient to
admit of Decentralization, provided the
sea be calm. This is the only level
stretch of land on the island, the rest
being nothing but towering, irregular
rocks.
