Scientific men have long understood the watter, and have explained the ripening of the leaf as—a simple process of vegetable growth, though the coloration of the loaves at maturity ca ne tnere be -accounted for than the red of the rose, they biue-of the violet, or the orange of the: lily. The color which leaves assume in the fall is due te the same exases. But the populer idea that the leaves are changed by the frort is so firmly established in the minds of unscientific and mnebservant people, that if is diffienlt to dispel This yeur the foliage has assumed the most gorceous coloring without a sign of frost, and indeed, seems to bo more brillient on account of its non-vppearince — This is perfectly natural, as the leaves have been able to gradually aud freely asaume the colors which belong te their ripemess, unebstructed by sudden cold.— Boston ‘Post.

Scientific men have long understood the watter, and have explained the ripening of the leaf as—a simple process of vegetable growth, though the coloration of the loaves at maturity ca ne tnere be -accounted for than the red of the rose, they biue-of the violet, or the orange of the: lily. The color which leaves assume in the fall is due te the same exases. But the populer idea that the leaves are changed by the frort is so firmly established in the minds of unscientific and mnebservant people, that if is diffienlt to dispel This yeur the foliage has assumed the most gorceous coloring without a sign of frost, and indeed, seems to bo more brillient on account of its non-vppearince — This is perfectly natural, as the leaves have been able to gradually aud freely asaume the colors which belong te their ripemess, unebstructed by sudden cold.— Boston ‘Post.
