AUTUMN LEAVES.
The Change of Color From Green to
Red or Yellow or Brown.

The Change Of Color From Green to
Red or Yellow or Brown.
Despite the commonness Of autumn
colorings, we do not yet know the full
meaning Of autumn colors Of leaves.
We do know that late in the summer
the tree is preparing for the leaf fall
by drawing the valuable substances Of
the leaf into the stem. 1t also ceases
to make chlorophyl the green sub
stance Of the leaf which aids IN the
making Of the plants food, and this
gradually fades away in the bright
light. By fading it exposes to view
any other colcrs in the leaf. and all
leaves contain yellow coloring matters
called xanthophyl, whose function IS
not known, and it is these which give
the yellow color to autumn leaves.
The red is formed differently. In
bright light and cool temperature
new substance, called erythrophyl,: is
made from sugar and tannin in the leaf
cells, and that has red color. a
brown substance is also sometimes
formed, and. besides, the skeleton OF
the leaf itself turns brown as the leaf
dies. It is the various combinations OF
these substances that give the many
shades Of autumn colors. Some stu
dents think these colors are q useful
protection to the living protoplasm Qife
materiaD Of the leaf after the green
disappears, protecting it against the
full blaze Of light, which is injurious
but others think the colors have no use
at all, but are simply the. incidental
chemical result Of the processes in the
ripening and dying leaf
As yet the weight Of evidence seems
to favor the latter view, but the mat
ter is still unsettled 1t is generally
thought that frost has something to do
with it, but it has not, except to hasten
ii. Anything which affects the vitality
Of the leaf tends to hasten it, for which
reason an injured branch Of a maple
will often show red autumn color even
in summer.
The colors are brightest where the
leaves receive the most brilliant sun
shine.-professo ". T. Ganong IN St
Nicholas.

Breaking Out the Colors.

a pretty sight aboard ship IS the
breaking out Of the flags on reaching
port. At the appointed time sea-
man takes his station at the forward
mast and another at the rear mast.
In his hand is a small silken bundle,
tightly rolled. This is sent aloft.
When the signal to break out the col
ors is given cord is pulled, the bun
die unrolls, and a splendid silk flag
futters out into the breeze. At the
foremast is that Of the nation whose
port the ship is entering, while that on
the rear mast is the flag Of the steam
ship company, the ships nationality
being advertised by a large Gag at
the stern The latter is lowered, or
dipped, by way Of salute When an
other steamer is passed out in the
