SHE most precious thing in the desert is water, and each desert species of animal or plant has through ages worked out its own answer to the' question, “How can I live with so little to hoarded. The cactus answer to • this question is very interesting. Leaves on plants which grow under ordinary conditions are very wasteful of water, taking it up from the sap and giving it out to the air in a process called transpiration. To avoid this waste of water, the cactus has given up having leaves, and has its stems of such form as to expose as little surface as possible to the direct rays of the sun which act to make the plant give up its moisture. Also the stems are thick so as to give room for storage of the precious water and protected with thick covering to keep it safely hoaerded. There are many forms of cacti (as the plural is written) in the United States. The most impressive is the “giant cactus” of Arizona belonging to the genus Cereus. Its stems and branches are like huge spiny columns from one to two feet thick. It often grows forty or fifty feet high and looks like a giant candlestock.' This cactus has long, tubular, very showy flowers. The fruit is egg shaped and has a crimson pulp which the Indians use for food; they gather it with a forked stick attached to a long po'.e. Woodpeckers find the big stems of this cactus a favorable place for out insects. Some cacti are in the form of very spiny globes. Those with flat stems belong to the genus Opuntia, a good example of which is the “prickly pear." Os these there are many species, but they are all alike in having their stems and branches in roundish flattened sections and Jointed. They have small fleshy leaves which fall off, and at the base of each is left a tuft of cruel spines of two sorts, meant to punish the thirsty trespasser. The prickly pear has yellow or reddish showy flowers, and a pear shaped fruit which is delicious and satisfying to thirst. Certain species of Opuntia. which were introduced into Australia as a pretty flowenjng hedge, have run wild and become “the world’s greatest vegetable terror,” spreading their vicious thorny plants over miles and miles of vaAable grazing and farming lands. Cacti are found native chiefly In the arid regions of America—in Arizona, New Mexico, Central America, and extending" to southern South America. About 1,000 species have been named, varying greatly in form and size. Many curious and beautiful varieties are prized as hothouse plants, among them the "nightblooming cereus,” whose lovely waxlike blossoms open in a single night and wither at the approach of sunlight. From the juicy stems of the cactus primitive peoples long ago learned to distil both medicines and intoxicating drinks. It was long known that were It not for the prickly spines the cactus would furnish excellent fodder for cattle, and Luther Burbanks spent many years In experimentation to produce a spineless cactus. COMMISSIONER SPEAKS Clyde H. Jones, public service commissioner, spoke today before the Lafayette Rotary Club and the Purdue University School of Engineering on motor transportation.
