from eight to twenty atmospheres. or, in
other words, from 40 to 300 pounds to
the square inch-a force greater than
that in the boiler of a normal railway
engine.
This mighty pressure, scattered more or
less irregularly through the tissues of
the tree drives the sap to the buds and
forces them open, expands their leaves
and is continually at work wherever the
process of building new structure is going
on. 1t is obvious. therefore, that the en-
cheering arrangements for the conduct
ing and controlling of this powerful
stream of life-giving sap must be per-
fectly organized.
Indeed they are more than that; they
present marvels of mechanical construc-
ton which are not only astonishing on
account of their perfection, but are so
minute that man can only penetrate the
mysteries and beauty of their structure
by means of high-power microscopes and
careful chemical investigations Even
then he is left baffied and wondering

woods on lands which were cut over sew
enty-five years ago. while third portion
of the area contains lands which have
been partially cut over in more recent
years.
