Trees, like animals, eat, drink and
sleep, grow and die. They tear their
clothes and have to mend them. THEY
jostle one another like rude boys in
a crowd, and the strong conquer the
weak. Disease besets them. Accident
breaks their limbs. The varying
weather checks their growth or coax.
es them to flourish.
Kin of the woodchuck and the bear,
they put on warm coats in winter and
wait for spring. When the weather
is warm tree goes to sleep at sun
down and in the morning wakes again.
A cloudy sky makes tree drowsy.
Rain puts 1t to sleep. So the only days
OF prosperity and tree activity are the
clear days.
In sleep the leaves of many trees
fold together and droop, says the Ma.
tional Monthly The closing of the
leaves checks the cooling process of
evaporation and maintains bodily
heat. All young and tender foliage
tends thus TO curl up to sleep when
the weather is bad or night is in the
sky. Older and sitter leaves go to
sleep sitting up, as it were, as father
does in his armchair.
The breathing of the tree is as
necessary to its life as is the breath
ing of animals to theirs. All life con
sists of continuous building up and
tearing down of cells. The material
for building new cells is made of food
taken in and elaborted, made over,
by intricate chemical processes. The
oxygen in the air is one of the chem
ical ingredients, both in destroying
and building the cells of animals and
trees. The leaves are the lungs
which inhale carbon dioxide and ex-
hale pure oxygen.
The wood of the tree and the bark
are not alive. The living part is the
lining between the wood and the bank,
called the cambum. Raw material
drawn up through the roots flow to
the leaves. The air strikes 1t. Light
and heat come through the transpar.
ent upper skin of the leaf. Then one
OF natures mysterious laboratory pro.
cesses recombines the elements o. the
crude material and produces cell FOOD,
largely starch in solution, which trick.
les down through the inner bark and
rebuilds the constantly disintegrating
cells.
So a tree eats and breathes and
grows. A full-grown tree does not be-
come any higher, but it lays on each
year new thickness of woody tissue
and one of bark, The outer bark
wears off as the cuticle scales from
an animal,
theoretically, a tree might live on
forever, and so, theoretically, high an
animal 90 on living, for there seems
to be no reason why cells should cease
to build. Our manner of wearing out
is not like that OF machine. But
men and trees alike are subject to de.
