The unuMnlly large number of 'young DUEL BETWEEN PLANTS. The War Waged by a Muiaaoh and a Clint. Ing Bitter-Sweet. Some time ago my pupils were muck interested in finding what they inap propriately tarmed a hand-to-hand con­ flict between a sumach ( Hhus typhinaf and a climbing bitter-swec^ (Celastrns tcandens). Judging from the appear- »nee when found, the sumach was nbout two inches in diameter when the bitter sweet first wou.nl its coils about it. As tile growth of each pro­ ceeded, these coils became tighter and tighter, cutting into and through the bark and growing layer of the sumach which seemed to be threatened with strangulation. It was not, however, to be so easily vanquished. It reso­ lutely kept up its manufacture of new materia), which, owing to the tight em­ brace of the vine, had to lie distributed »long a spiral line immediately above .he coils. Just below the coils the supply appeared to be cut off, as the trink was then shrivoled and in most places dead. Although rendered un- ligiltly, the tree presented the curious feature of hai ng two spirals, one of living, growing, the other dead and de­ caying material wound about its heap wood, so that toe whole resembled a huge auger. To avenge this deformity tlie sumach proceeded to push its new grew th out above and over the coils of Che vine until at one place it had completely encompassed it The vine, in turn, was now so tigbtiy squeezed as to lie cutoff from commu­ nication witli the ground, and below this point kut little life remained. Victory now seemed vitbin the grasp of the sv.niaeh. The vine, how­ ever, in its last extremity now united itself witli tlie growing layer of the sumach, and thuv literally drew from the cause of the eitemy whatever sup­ plies were needed to keep its top bright and thrifty. At tlvs stage the conflict was cut short by th* ago of the collect­ or, and tho combatants, locked in each other's arms, were laid away among tho curiosities of a museum.— Journal of Education.
