Plant Self-Protection.


YOUNG long-leaf plants protect
l themselves against forest fires in
a most interesting and remarkable
way. For four or five years the stems
of the infant trees attain height of
only as many inches above the soil.
During this time their bark is ex
traordinarily thick. and that alone
gives some protection. But in addi-
tion the long needles spring up above
the stem. and then bend over on ALI
sides in a green cascade which falls
to the ground in a circle about the
Seeding. .s.
This green barrier can with diff
Guilty be made to burn, while the
shade that it casts prevents innamma-
BILE grass from growing near the pro-
tected stem. En
1t is thought that it IL owing to
this peculiar system of self-protec-
tion which the pine seedlings have
developed that the growth Of the
evergreen oaks in Florida has been
restricted in regions where fires have
ragged. while pure pine forests have
taken their place.

Explosions.

VOLCANIC explosions are common
