SEASONS CHANGED ss FIRE
Trees That Were Barely Scorched In
Blaze Put Out New Blooms
Late in Fall.

At Chansee-sur-Marne, France, last
September, a fire which ragged on one
side of the village made a clean sweep
of everything before it in the way of
buildings and only paused when there
was nothing to lick up except the Or
chards that once formed hedge be-
tween the homesteads and the open
country. Even then it was hardly sat-
isfied, for it greedily devOured the first
two ranks of apple and pear trees,
leaving nothing but cinders; the next
three rows, though very scorched,
were not quite destroyed, the farthest
away being naturally the least af-
fected. Some of the boughs escaped
all hurt and it was with these that the
curious phenomenon was observed
which merits attention. A second
Towering commenced at once and by
the end of October all the trees farth-
est from the scene of the fire were in
full bloom, as if called to renewed life
by the fresh voice of May, instead OF
October. At another point the flames
had swept close to a large lilac tree
and this, as well as some plum trees.
bewildered by what must have seemed
to it a sudden return of summer, put
on once more it's bridal robes. 1t must
be mentioned that the fire only lasted
four hours. It will be noticed, there
fore, that there was no resemblance
between this sudden blast of heat and
the ordinary gradual forcing to which
plants are subjected.
