The processes of nature are most
interesting, even without being fully
understood. The why and the where
fore are complex and worthy Of deep
est study, observes a naturalist, but
the bold facts, uncoupled with reasons
Of any kind, are delightful to contem-
plate. This interest will grow upon
you and the neXt thing you know, I'M

Iivinu Water Tank.

Perhaps the most notable specimen
Of self-watering plants is the so-called
"water barrel'' which, Of about the
size and shape of an ordinary beer
key, is in fact nothing more or less
than a living water tank. Its whole
interior is composed Of storage cells
so admirably arranged that the pulp
which they form contains something
like 90 per cent pure water.

Amethyst's ColorS,

A man recently brought back to q
jewelry store three rings set with ame-
thysts which had faded to pale vel
low within few months after he had
bought them. He then discovered that
instead Of amethysts the gems were
topazes. The latter vary in color from
pale yellow to deep violet and purple.
Under high temperatures amethysts
change color, becoming first yellow,
then green, and finally entirely color
less. Under ordinary temperatures,
however, genuine amethysts do not
change color.
