At one end . mirror, mounted so that 1t comes down to the level of the sanded surface reflects the sky to an observer at the opposite end.

When the small "desert" is heated with sas Jets beneath It, one can see what appssrs to be 2 gittering pool in the sand, in which are re- hected inverted mountains, The gas-heated layer of air near the surface, with the cool air air of the desert.
 People who live on or near large body of water are almost sure to see . mirage on cold Autumn morning.: This, it is explained, is be- cause in the Fall the water retains the heat from the sun throughout the night, and in the morning after clear night, 1t will be several degrees stratum of adjacent air is heated above tho normal temperature, giving the same conditions as observed In . desert mirage.
 ;. If you are near . lake on some crisp morning. look 1t objects on the opposite shore, with your eyes not more than three feet above the level of the water. Almost immediately you will be aware of slight quivering of the trees and land scape, and then some of the objects will seem elongated and appear to dance The motion is due to slight variations in the heat which bend the light rays irregularly The elongation is really an indistinct double image, which scientists know is caused solely by the pranks of the heated air: If you can detect in this elongation one up- right true image and one inverted image, you have seen an inferior mirage.

How Trees Rid Themselves of Leaves

THE popular supposition is that trees shed
 their leaves in the Autumn because of the
 cold and the strength of the wind. :. Actually this has nothing at all to do with t, according to the discoveries of scientists. A tree is fed by the moisture and chemicals which the roots draw from the soil. These, forming carried to the branches, twin and leaves.
 Each leaf has on 1t number of pores, which open and shut to regulate the evaporation of excessive moisture. In very hot weather they are almost closed; in damp weather they arc wide open. The giving o6 of the excessive moisture is called transpiration.
 In the Winter, when the ground is hard, the roots 6nd their task of providing sustenance for the tree . much more difficult one, and naturally what is provided must not be wasted. To check trsnsptration, the tree must rid itself of its
