FALLING OF THE LEAVES.
The Wind In the Autumn Really Has
Very Little to Do With 1t.

When the storm clouds gather behind
the brown autumnal woods and cold
winds begin to blow, then the brigL!
leaves come drifting down in fluttering
fast thickening showers until it almost
seems as if the wind were the active
agent and actually tore the leaves from
the trees. This, of course, is not the
BILE after long preparation on the part
of the tree, which FORMS a peculiar
layer of cells in each leaf stem called
the cleavage plate.
This cleavage plate, or separation
layer, consists of a section of loosely
attached thin walled cells with Il few
strands of stronger woody fiber in
among them, so, in the early autumn,
although the leaves appear as firmly
attached as ever before, they are really
only held on the tree by these few
woody strands and the outer brittle
skin or epidermis of the stem. Now
only slight shock or wind furry is
sufficient to break the fragile support
and bring the leaves in showers to the
strands broken through III the leaf scar
of the horse chestnut, where they ap-
pear as little rounded projections on
the broken surface and are often spok
en- of from their fancied resemblance
to the nails Of horseshoe. The hick-
DRY and ash among other trees have
similar markings on their leaf scars
and from the same cause. On the root
of the wild sarsaparilla, which projects
just above the ground, like series Of
little projections will be seen upon the
ringlike scar which surrounds the bud
where the leaf stalk has just separated.
Often the leaves separate and fall
even on the quietest days, for their
own weight Is sufficient to break the
frail support. These hushed and SUI
premely tranquil days we ali remem-
Der, when our October walks are ac-
companied by the soft, small sounds of
falling leaves, by the rustllngs and dry
whisperings of their showering multi
tudes.-St. Nicholas.
