Vitality of Plants.-The vitality of
many plants seems largely a matter of
moisture. A plant that cannot endure
frost, and which. of course. would be
killed by heat many degrees below the
boiling point of water, can cut off its
seeds. each of which contains a plant
like its parent and after these are
thoroughly dried they can be subjected
to heat above the boiling point or ex-
posed to the greatest degree of cold
that can be produced, and escape un-
harmed. Give these seeds water, how
ever, and they act exactly like the
parent plant in their relations to heat
and cold. The change in the seed.

sition the left hand lifts up and the
right hand shoves down.
How much force does each hand ex-
ert? A forkful of hay weighs about
Is pounds The left hand being in the
middle, the right hand must push
down with force of 10 pounds to bal
ance the weight of the hay. The left
hand lifts against the weight of the
hay 10 pounds, and against the down
ward push of the right hand 10 pounds
more, or 30 pounds altogether. The
right hand shoves downward 10
pounds and the left hand lifts 80
pounds, and therefore the left hand ex
erts twice the force that the right
hand does. AS a matter of fact the
left hand does a little more than this,
because it lifts the weight of the fork,
which amounts TO about three pounds
more.
When the hay is lifted up and car
ried with the fork in vertical posi-
ton each hand will carry half the

just to steady the fork and the right
