Rings Of Fungous Growth.

Before people studied nature to learn

ali sorts of fancies 1t was claimed that
rings Of fungOus growths were caused
by the dancing OF fairies. by thun-

work Of mOles. Various other equally
absurd explanations have been given.
Now we know that the first fungous
plant growing from a spore takes from
the soil under and near it ol or most
Of the special food that the plant re
qulres. Only the spores from this plant
that fall Just outside the exhausted soil
will find good fungous food, and so the
