As a rule, those flowers which de- pend for fertilization upon the action of day insects, such as bees and but- terflies, close at dusk. But many flowers attract nocturnal insectsâ€" moths, earwig's, and beetles~and these have formed the habit of remain- ing closed all day and opening after the sun has set. Sole-mists have discovered that, just as there is a circulation of the blood in man, so there is a circulation oi the sap in plan-ts. It has been discovered' too, that plants are capable of move ment. This movement shows itself in dif-l terent ways. The simplest form is seen in those flowers which follow the sun in its course through the summer skies. It is due to no set of will on; the part of the plant, but simply to the fact that the parts turned towards the sun grow more quickly than the rest; hence stalks ate’ lengthened in that direction, and the plant itself keeps facing towards the sun. When the sun has set, movements of a different kind take place. Such flowers as the evening primrose open, Whilst others which have been expand- ed all day close their petals as dark- ness draws on.

When I returned with that nesrtfui 01‘ fat grubs I expected a. water carnival, and I was not diappointed. 0n the thin fly hook I lowered a large, fai‘ grub toward the pool. I think the sun- fish saw him coming and recognized him. He had scarcely touched the water when the fish made a. rush. The first one to arrive was soon flopping on the cliff beside me, while the other fish were milling about below as if talking it over among themselves. Then I had it! “Hay” had suggested “barn,” and "bam" had suggested “wasps. I could break that strike, rm had I not that very morning passed a nest of those hot-headed warriors? 1 was astonished that I had not thought of them at once, for In my barefoot: days wasp grubs were known as “dead medicine" for sunfish.
