A man some time ago took me out
to see his lawn and wanted me tc
tell him why it was dying in spots
He is a very careful man and keeps
his lawn very closely cut. He also

Let it always be borne in mind that
the green part of plant is just as
essential to its life and growth as
the root is. All Heterogeneous plants
and that means all plants that bear
flowers and seeds, are dependent upon
what are called chlorophyll grains
for the transformation of their food
material These chlorophyll grains
are nowhere to be found except in the
green parts; in fact, their presence
makes the plants green. When we

When Rubber Grows Hot.

When an automobile is running at
high speed the rubber tires are rap.
idly warmed and the heat sometimes
becomes very great, with resultant
injury to the rubber. The cause of
this accumulation Of heat in the tire
is ascribed to the kneading of the rub
Der, which generates heat faster than
It can be radiated away. For this
reason manufacturers have found 1t
to be an advantage to have metal
parts In the tread, such as the ends
of rivets, in contact with the tire,
because the metal, being a good radi.
ator, helps to carry off the heat to
the outer air.
