home to her family. They must have
died in the hurroW. for it was evident
from the signs that she had dragged
them out into the fresh air to revive
them and deposited them gently on the
sand by the hole. Then in her perplex-
ity she had brought various tidbits of
mouse and bird and rabbit and placed
at their noses to tempt them to wake
up out Of their strange sleep and eat

a Plants Drink.

When we cut flowers we put them
in water to keep them fresh. Like
human beings. they can exist for long
periods on water alone, as the liquid
forms considerable portion of their
bulk The drinking capabilities Of
plants vary great deal. and at re-
cent scientific exhibition held at Sur
biton, England, some ingenious de-
vices were shown to register the diff
ferent actions of plant life. The ap-
paratus consists of a twin glass tube
with coiled formation at the base.
The flower is placed through a cork
into the water in the upper end Of
the branch tube, and the lower end,
which is inserted in a vessel filled
with water. is lifted out and replaced,
thus allowing an air bubble to enter
the tube AS the plant drinks the wa
ter the bubble is forced along the
coiled glass tube as fresh water enters
behind it, and the amount taken by
the flower is. Of course the quantity
