motion of tiny bits OF hydrogen.
They we're nearly full sized atoms,
1000 times heavier than anything
in which this odd motion previously
has been conclusively shown.
According to one OF the latest
sensations in science. called wave
mechanics. there is thought to be
a wave motion OF particles in al
substances. II is believed this mo-
ton in some manner effects the
very nature of material substance
Extremists have suggested that
everything is in the last analysis
merely a form of wave motion.
Tangible proof Of this motion is
regarded with great interest. Only
a few physicists have attempted
demonstrations, and 1t was barely
two years ago that DAWSON and
Germer OF New York obtained one
OF the first evidences. That was OF
wave motion in electrons. One OF
two other physicists have reported
evidence Of the hydrogen motion
and the award DempSter was made
on account Of the convincing nature
Of his demonstration.
In a vacuum tube he stripped a
stream Of hydrogen atoms Of their
electrons. He had left nearly full
sized atoms which he directed in a
stream against a calcite crystal.
From the manner in which these
atoms rebounded off the crystal
surface he showed they we're hit
ting il with a wave motion.

AUTUMN CELEBRATION

The underlying reasons for the de-
velopment of brilliant Autumnal color
ing of forest leaves have long puzzled
botanists. The popular conception that
frost is necessary in the production OF
Autumn tir1ts has been proved without
foundation for the simple reason that
we often have brilliant colors before
any frost has occurred. One botanical
author ascribes the coloring of leaves
to the fact that the leaves reach
stage of maturity when no fresh chloro-
phyI is produced and that present
fades away permitting other colors to
show. r....
We do know that all trees do not
develop this brilliant coloration. Elm
leaves, for example, turn yellow and
then brown without any red. 1t Is also
true that Autumn celebration Is most
CONSPICUOUS in regions where the change
from Summer to Autumn Is abrupt as
In the mountains Of our Northern
states. Apparently bright, clear weather
Is also factor In developing color.
Whatever may be the scientific basis of
Autumn color In the woods, admiration
for this gorgeous display Is quite uni
versal and is rivaled only by the esteem
for the otitbufst Of bloom In the Spring.

BULBS FOR FORCING

One of the mistakes that beginners
often make in preparing bulbs for
forcing in the home Is to bring them
directly in the warm cellar or living
rooms upon potting. In the first place
most Of the bulbs, with the exception
perhaps of the paper white group Of
narcissus, will not bloom at this season
no matter how favorable the conditions.
II one viii stop to reflect, tulips, hyA-
cinthS and narcissus do not appear in
the florists shops until the new year.
But what Is more important stu, the
plants need O dark, cool and moist en-
vironment in which to develop O root
system. Without opportunity TO de-
velop such o root system, the leaves
and flowers viii be dwarfed and weak

Commercial florists usually have an
outside cellar for storing the ported
bulbs. However. such Is not altogether
necessary but Il convenient In getting
pots can be placed in the garden and
covered with a few inches Of soil or,
better yet, in an unused cold frame and
covered with ashes or soil. Freezing
does not appear necessary nor, on the
other hand, Is 1t harmful to these
hardy bulbs. But since one will be
taking the pots out during the coolest
weather it Is well to cover with leaves

The Department Of Agriculture has
published some interesting bulletins on
the care and forcing Of Winter flower
ing bulbs. One illustration shows that
the desirable stage in which to remove
bulbs to the warmth is when the roots
have spread through the potting soil
and reached the side of the pot. At
this stage the crown Of the bulb will be

Burning leaves Is at the best an un-
desirable task, always beset with q fire
hazard and always creating q lot OF
dense, acrid smoke Objectionable to
neighbors. There are plenty Of good
plant nutrients in leaves that can be
made readily available with little ex-
ira labor. No one would think Of rec
omnnending that leaves be dug directly
into the garden soil, because the imnne-
diate results would be far from favor
able. Next seasons crops would prob
ably be failures II large quantities OF
leaves were incorporated into the soil
without any previous treatment. Leaves
are like straw, high In carbon and low
In nitrogen. and presumably. IL spaded
directly into the soil, divert the soil
supply of nitrogen to their decomposi-
ton. Hence the value of piling them
UP in a corner of the yard and adding
certain fertilizing ingredients to hasten
the decomposing process and at the
same time enriching the final product.
In the forest this process goes on con-
tinuously, the underlying rotted mate
rial aiding in decomposing the freshly
fallen leaves,
The Missouri Experiment Station
Bulletin No. 258 describes the process
OF making manure from straw and
which should be equally applicable to
there were added Az pounds Of ammo
mum sulphate, 4 pounds Of ground
limestone and IL pounds Of super
phosphate. Hydrated lime may be sub
stituted for the limestone, using just
half the amount. The heap should be
made up In layers, scattering the chem
tcalS between the layers and keeping
the entire mass wet during the process.
Once or twice during the Winter the
pile should be turned.
That this is a practical way of ham
ding leaves is attested by the fact that
several home gardeners about the city
already practice 1t with success.
Another way of rapidly converting
leaves into fertility Is to place them in
the poultry yard, where the poultry ma
nure acts much in the same way as
does the ammonium sulphate. And in
addition the poultry hasten the process
by breaking down the structure Of the
leaves.
