A Xaxt Force Exerted Without Noise or Demonxtration of Any Kind. Tt has long been know n to scientific m«*n that the power of growth in the vegetable kingdom is something mar velous. There is no human engineering Which can compare in power with the silent machinery of a forest on a spring day. The force with which the sap rises in the tree, without any apparent cause, any propelling power like the beating heart of man, is marvelous. It has been estimated that the physical energy of the sap in the plant is four teen times that of the blood in man. Some years ago President Clark, of the Massachusetts Agricultural College, succeeded by means of some interesting experiments in measuring the power of growth possessed by a squash. For this purpose he harnessed it in iron, put it in prison, and gave it a weight to lift. He prepared a bed of rich compost to give the plant every possible oppor tunity for growth. On one end of this bed he plai’ed a box and in the box the squash, enclosed in an iron basket-work. The squash thus enclosed was placed in the box in such a way that it could only grow by pushing itself upward. Then, on the top of the squash, a long bar of timber was laid, in such a way that the squash, in its upward growth, must push this bar with it. Finally, on the bar were hung weights, at such dis tances from the squash as enormously to increase their weight power, and, consequently, the severity of the test afforded. The result was that the squash steadily pushed its way upwards, carrying the bar and the increasing weight with it. On August 21 it was lifting sixty pounds: on September 15, fourteen hundred pounds: on October 18. three thousand one hundred and twenty pounds: on October 31. five thousand pounds! How much more it would have carried is not known. For at this point the iron har ness bent and cut into the rind of the squash, which ha«l obtruded so far between the hands, that in order to ex tricate the »quash it was necessary to cut the iron with a cold chisel, and draw the pieces out endw ise. There is to our magination some thing grand in the thought of a force so vast exerted without noise or demon stration of any kind, and apparently far exceeding all the ordinary exigencies of the plant. In every acre of well-cultiva ted ground a power is silently at work which transcends mat* mightiest ma chines bv almost as much as the infinite transcends the finite. Does it not give a suggestion of the quiet power of lus Almighty?—Sunshine. — — — »e • —“Gracious.” shivered an oi l maid during a ol«1. snap, “isn't it frightfully cold.” “Indeed it is,” replied another maiden. abouCtwo years her junior. “I am sure wen •vorhavo had such weather as this before.” “I think you are right: at least that «oems to be the general opinion of. all the oldest inhabitants,” smiled the junior, with frozen signifi cance.—Merchant Traveler.
