cordiug TO the same authority, the In
tensity Of the perfume given Off by a
flower depends upon the relation be-
tween the pressure OF water In the
cells OF the plant, which tends to drive
out the essential oils that cause the
odor. and the action Of the sunlight,
which tends to diminish water pres

Increases the turgescence and as a
consequence more copious production
of perfume. At night the air round a
flower bed is heavy with odors. be-

went to the nearest inn and wrote and
signed paper agreeing that which
