SUNLIGHT AND SOIL.
Causes of the Difference of Color IN
Foliage and Flowers.

Causes of the Difference OF Color IN
FOLIAGE and Flowers.
II is sunlight that chiefly causes the
difference in the color of the foliage
and flowers of plants. The foliage and
flowers of plants absorb sun rays OF
certain colors and reject others, and
this it is that makes the flowers take
on their proper colOrs.
We know that the character OF the
soil and possibly difference IN Gil
MATE NAV cause flowers to change
their colors. Some wild flowers OF New
Jersey are of quite different shade
of color from the same flowers III IL
linois. the character of the soil caus-
ing the flowers to change their selec-
ton of the suns rays, and thus the
color of the flower is changed
To prove that the character OF the
soil may change the color OF flowers
take any of the pink Towering varie-
ties of Hydrangea hurtenSis, repot the
pIant. carefully washing away the ola
soil, and replace in soil in which alum
has been incorporated. The proper pro
portion Is half a pound Of alum bro
ken into pieces the size of hickory
nut to each bushel of soil. In this SOIL
the plants. instead of producing pink
flowers. as formerly. will produce hoW.
ers of blue.
New shades of flowers are produced
nv crossing one color with another,
somewhat as an artist mixes paints TO
obtain desired shades and colors, but
with far more trouble and far less &C
cI1racv. Sometimes on the same stem
flowers of different colors are found
| due to naturalization or TO freak OF
| nature. the tendency to break away
| from the established type. In nature
| nothing stands still. 1t Is either pro
| gressior or retrogression.
| The range of color for each specie
| seems to he confined within certain
| limits, though the hybridizer is gradu
| ally extending these limits. Yellow
| white and purple are the commones
colors in wild flowers in the orde
| named. Yellow is the simplest ant
| most primitive color and blue the lates
and most highly evolyed.-Exchange
Words Which Have Strayed.
Hardly any words i'll the English Ian

and even towns and villages. all tn
hunting rights over which were reserT
ed to the monarch. A chase differed
from forest mainly in the fact tina
the hunting rights were vested in

forest. while a warren was piece o
waste ground over which the right t

In the same way the term afforesta
