PLANTS THAT STRANGLE TREE
Almost Incredible Power Displayed BY
Vegetation That SCENE TO Be
Almost Negligible.

Some years ago on asphalt tennis
court was laid down near Harwlck,
England. All went we'll at first. The
asphalt was laid as smooth as a BIZ.
Hard table and left to set.
Next morning there was bump ~
large as an inverted soup plate in one
corner of the court. BY midday Il
had grown TO the size of pudding
basin, and then the workmen hacked
up the court to see what had caused
the mysterious swelling. 1t was moth
ing more formidable than a mushroom.
Even tiny plants are incredibly
strong. A little Seeding will push its
way through several inches of hard
soil, and II a stone binders Its prog.
ress, the wee plant Will thrust II aside.
Toadstools have been known to push
over a strongly built wooden fence.
Sometimes climbing plants kill the
trees and bushes which they use as
supports. HOneysuckle, for example,
cllngs tightly to the stem Of a tree the
tree exerts It's enormous force to burst
Its bonds, but the thin stalks OF the
climber are even stronger, and In the
end the tree dies of strangulatlon.

MATTER OF OXYGEN SUPPLY
Why Heated Objects Are Of Varying
Color 10 Matter Of Simple
Explanation.

The color OF a heated object de.
Ponds largely upon the temperature to
which 1t is subjected. When, for ex.
ample, a poker Is placed In q frc, It
will first turn dull red, then a bright
rec, and finally glaring white.
The same principle applies to n
fame, the outside Of which Is far hot.
ter than the inside, and, In conse-
quence, gives of a brighter light. This
difference in temperature is due to the
fact that only the outer portion Of tho
flame comes in contact with the oxy.
gen of the air, while the inner part
has TO be content with the small
amount Of this lnflammable gas which
reaches 1t still unconsumed.
The heat is greatest where combus-
ton is fastest and most complete, and
1t is for this reason that the outer part
of fame is bright yellow while the
Interior is a dull blue.
