THOMPSON. , Every one has noticed and is familiar with some examples of the influence or the response which foliage leaves give to light. People who have plants growing in their houses have noticed how the leaves will face the window, and that if the plants are turned about so that the leaves face the other way, if the leaves are not too old, they will slowly turn back and again face the window. Nearly every one knows a little plant, that may be found growing along the streets between the sidewalk and the fence. It has little yellow flowers, and its leaves have a sort of vinegar like taste. It is sometimes caller "Sour Grass." Its leaf resembles that of the clover, having three parts. In the morning when the sun shines full and bright upon these leaves they stand spread out like a toy wind mill, but if clouds come up and cover the sun they will droop and hang down against the stems, like a flag when there is no wind. There is a little plant that may be iound in almost any vacant lot, called "The Round-Leaved Mallow;" boys call it "The Cheese." When the sun conies up in the morning, the leaves of this plant will slowly turn toward the east and will face the sun all day long, and in the evening when the sun goes down, these leaves will be found standing almost vertically and facing the west. People who keep potatoes in the cellar, have noticed that in the spring when the warm air begins to be felt below the ground, that if a potato has fallen out on the cellar floor it will sprout, and the sprouts will grow toward the cellar windows. If one plants a bean in a box of soil any where, and covers the box with a lid, and bores a hole in the lid anywhere, when the seed sprouts, the sprout will grow out of the hole. We all know how plants are affected if they are deprived of light. The potato sprouts referred to are white or slightly tinged with green; but if they are brought out into the light they turn a brftliant green. Most people, when they rake up the trash that has accumulated on the lawn during the winter, have noticed how whtte and sickly the grass looks, where it has been covered, but that in a very short time this appearance has vanished. The reason plants, like the Morning Glory, that cannot stand alone, have learned to climb is that they may bring their leaves up where the light may shine upon all of them; the reason trees growing close together shed their lower limbs is because the leaves on these limbs die from lack of light Go into any primeval forest and you will see scores of small trees standing dead, because they have been overtopped by their more vigorous neigh bors. No one knows better how to take advantage of this light effect on foliage leaves, than the expert forester. He crowds his trees together so that the lower branches will die when they are little, that the lumber made from the tree trunks may be clear and free from knots. No one knows better the effect of light on foliage leaves than the landscape gardener. He plants his trees apart, that the leaves on all or the branches may get the light and Una tfca beauty and individuality of

The forester by his knowledge of the effect of light, develops timber; by trie same knowledge the landscape gardener develops beauty; the one gets financial returns, the other aesthetic. The one may be expressed in Dumbedykes' advice to Jock: "Lock, when ye hae naetning else to do, ye may be aye sticking in a tree; it will be growing Jock, when ye're sleeping." The other by Oliver Wendell Holmes: "Whenever we plant a tree we are doing what we can to make our planet a more wholesome and happier dwelling place for those who come after us, if not for ourselves." Foliage leaves have the power of not only turning towards the light, but they are able to turn away from it if it becomes too intense, or in other words they are able to adjust themselves to the best light position. There is a little plant that grows about here, a .common, troublesome weed, called the prickly lettuce or compass plant, that is able to . turn its leaves so that their edges and not their flat surfaces are presented to the sky. The leaves that thus twist themselves are on the north and south sides of the plant, and hence the name, "Compass Plant." The explanation is that the light on these sides is steady and more intense than that which comes' from the east and west and that these leaves twist in this way to avoid the danger of too much light. The leaves of some plants have a day position and a night position, or it may be called a working position and a resting position, or again it may be called a waking position and a sleeping position, and these positions are assumed when the sun rises and when it sets. Prof. Dennis in his "One Hundred Lessons About Plants," has two photographs of an Abutilon one was taken at neon and is labeled "Awake," the other was taken at 10:30 p. m. and is labeled "Asleep." In this interesting lesson 14 Prof. Dennis points out that this plant assumes the waking position even before the arrival of the light. He says: "We are accustomed to say that it is the stimulus of the light ; but this Abutilon assumes the erect position before it becomes light ' It begins to awaken about 4 a. m. and is fully awake when it is light. It wakens up ia. a dark room into which no ray of light comes." One of the interesting things to notice in this connection is the arrangement of leaves on a branch. They come out at certain definite places called nodes or joints. If two leaves are on the same node or joint, they divide the space equally and each takes half, or if there are three at a node each takes a third or whatever may be the number, the space Is equally divided among them, so that the danger of shading each other is reduced to the minimum. The reason that leaves have leaf stalks or petioles la that by means of them the blades may be pushed out of the shadows of other leaves. Plants like the daisy or ragweed have the edges of their leaves all cut into deep wide notches so that the light may get through these notches to leaves that are below. If we examine a 'spray of Norway maple, we wilt find that the leaves are not all of the same aise, and it la

Now since leaves resort to so many devices to secure light and have such surprising ability of adjusting themselves to best light positions, and since they suffer when the light supply is weak, or die when it s cut off it must be manifest that they are doing some kind of work that is very important for which light is necessary.

Seven minutes of wonderful team work and accurate basket shooting, gave Stivers high school, champions of Western Ohio, victory by the score of 20 to 15 over Richmond high school, Saturday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Gymnasium. After Scott had opened the game with a goal for Richmond, Stivers ran away from the locals, every man on the team contributing to the fifteen points amassed. Captain -Schepman was then called in from the side lines, and Richmond steadied down, " but could not equal the visitors count. In the second half Richmond played all around Stivers, and held them down to three points. The locals pulled up steadily, but were still five points behind at the final gong. Ed Lanlng led the locals, scoring with five baskets. Captain Schepman's defensive work was the most import ant factor in holding down Stivers' score In the second half. The line-up: Stivers Richmond.
