His Wife-Mrs. Neweds house is
strictly up to date and is equipped
with electric appliances throughout.
All she has to do is touch a button
and almost any desired result is ac-
compllshed.
Her Husband-Well, you would
never be able to get results that way,
my dear.
His Wife-And why not?
Her Husband-Because you seem ia
have a horror of touching buttons.
Just look at my clothes!

The Pacific coast of the United
States is rich In coniferous trees like
cedars. sequoias and redwoods, but is
conspicuously lacking in most of the
trees familiar on the Atlantic slope
For example, there are not half as
many naples, or ashes, or poplars.
or walnuts, or birches. or oaks on the
Pacific slope. and they are of such in
ferior quality that It is said "a pas
sable wagon wheel can not be made
Of California wood. nor a really good
one In Oregon" The Atlantic slope
has four times as many species of non.
coniferous trees as the Pacific slope,
but only a little more than half as
many coniferous species.
The first step in the solution of this
problem is found in the relation OF
the land continents In the northern
hemisphere 10 each other. Whereas, the
southern ends of the continents pro-
iect far out into deep seas so that they
are widely separated from each other
other and are separated by shallow
seas. The water in Behring strait is
only $50 feet deep. and that In the sea
only few hundred feet deep, so that

lea, and permit the migration OF plants
and animals from one continent to an.
other. That these continents have
been recently Joined by such a change
In land level is proved by the fact
that bones of the mammoth have been
found on both sides of Behring strait
and even on the Pribyloff islands, far
out in Behring sea. A similar belt Of

another objection to Dragging. which
is that IT is close akin to lying; which

But II still would seem to be a puz.
zle why the plants were not the
same in corresponding ATTITUDES on
both sides of the American contin-
ent. Why should the species of plants
in California be so different from
those in Pennsylvania and Virginia?
This is answered by considering the
different conditions which prevail on
the east and west sides of a contin-
ent. Because the world turns from
west to east the prevailing winds in
the northern hemisphere are from the
southwest. The breezes OF the Pacific
coast are therefore sea breezes, la
den with moisture, while those In the
eastern Atlantic states are land
breezes. which have been largely be.
reft of their moisture and are subject
to greater alterations of tempera.
ture. The constant action OF these di.
verse conditions would have direct
effect to favor some species on the
Atlantic coast that would not be ia.
vored on the Pacific. and vice versa
Thus we have everything accounted
for in a most natural way
