SEEDS ADAPTED FOR FLYING

It Is strange that man has been so

silver maple and the ash often fly In
the summer 40 or 50 yards. The
seeds wing is IN extension Of the
pod. When the seed breaks loose
from its bough the wing whirls rapid

edge striking the air higher than tho
rest Of Its surface, and thus producing
cir pressure In an upward direction
that carries the tiny aeroplane on and
up in its flight.
The linden seed clusters show an
aeroplane Of tremendous strength. The
seeds hang on a single stem from the
center of one large wing. When this
seed aeroplane sets forth the wing re-

you can run to the corner and put this
letter in the letterbox for me?'
Course I can" replied Harry. Mama
told me to help you all I could all the
time I was here" He Strengthened up and
looked very important.

take me a long time to get over there, and
you're so spry hat you can get over in

grandma would have to take the letter

reached the corner he was puzzled. Grand

but here were too, both red and both about
the same size. Which was the right one?
Ill put It In the shiniest one he thought,
climbing up on a wooden box, which hap

door carefully after he had put the letter
