WHY
Leaves Change Their Colors
in the Autumn.

What takes place when the leaves
turn color in the autumn and gives the
foliage such brilliant coloring is de-
scrlbed as follows:
The green matter In the tissue of
leaf is composed OF two colors, red and
blue. When the sap ceases to How In
the autumn the natural growth of the
tree is retarded and oxi cation OF the
tissues takes place.
Under certain conditions the green
Of the leaf changes TO red; under diff
ferent aspects II takes on yellow or
brown hue. The difference In color Is
due 10 the difference In combination OF
the original constituents of the green
tissues. and to the varying conditions
of climate, exposure and soil. A dry,
hot climate produces more brilliant
foliage than one that Is damp and
cool.
There are several things about
leaves. however, that even science can
not explain. For instance, why one or
two trees growing side by side of the
same age AID having the same ex-
posture. should take on brilliant rcS
in the fall and the other should turn
yellow, or why one branch of tree
should be highly colored and the rest
of the tree have only yellow tint. are
questions that are as impossible to an
swer as why one member of a family
should be perfectly healthy and anoth-
er slckly. Naples and oaks have the
brightest colors.-Providence Journal.
