PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cactus Blows Around the
Desert for Months.

Curious among vegetable growths
and one which is seldom seen of men
is the lootless cactus of the California
desert, says the Technical World.
This plant, round, compact growth,
rolls about the Level floor of the des-
ert for some eight or nine months of
the year, tossed hither and yon by
the winds which blow with fierceness
over all of Californias sand plat dur
ing those months.
At the coming of the rains, or
rather the cloudbursts, which sweep
the desert in its springtime, this cac-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
of which it was the plaything and i'm
mediately begins to put out all around
1t small shoots, which in turn become
cacti, exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly, sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply, but
spread often over circle whose
radius is not less than ten feet. These
roots, too, are small, but practically
innumerable, and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to be had
IN the territory they cover.
