TREES AS BAROMETERS.
Why Il is q Sign Of Rain When the
Leaves Show Their Baeka,

Persons who nre close observers have
frequently seen the trees when the
foliage presents a much different ap.
pearance from that ordinarily seen.
This ls more noticeable In poplar AMI
silver leaf trees.
The odd appearance II due 20 the fact
that the backs OF the leaves are turned
up. showing the under sides, which
nre. as n rule, n lighter color than the
upper side. Some OF the leaves are
such a light green as 10 appear almost
white when the backs show In the
sunshine.
This behavior of the leaves Is due
TO an unusually low barometric condI
tion Of the atmosphere. which causes
the leaves TO curl little and dip up In
the breeze to such an extent as 10
show their backs or under sides.
The low barometric condition pro-
duces local showers. and II IL always

THE "BURNlNG BUSH."
A Wonderful Plant Whose vapor MAY

BE Set Afame.
The "burning BUSH" which IL known
TO botanists as the Dietamnus fraxi-
nella. is regarded as one Of the most
wonderful plants IN the world. This
plant Is native to western Asia. though
Il Is now found In some gardens OF the
temperate zone. In connection with
the dictamnus II Is rather remarkable
that the species Is common where the
incident OF Moses and the burning bush
Is said to have occurred.
A great many people who grow the
plant are quite unaware OF its strange
habits. As a matter of fact. the die.
tamnus secretes fragrant essential
oil In great abundance. which. botanists
say. Is produced In especially large
quantities by the flower stems, In
warm weather volatilizing so that the
air surrounding the plant is impreg.
mated. Further. this vapor Is highly
innammable. and II naked flame Is

with cracking shooting flames reddish
In color and leaving highly aromatic
odor behind them. The burning bush
does not seem to be injured In any way
by the fire, for the flames do not actu.
ally come into contact with the plant
itself.
Several conditions are needfui n the

also that there should he practically no
