SOMETHING WONDERFUL
la going on here, is a sign that
hangs on every tree, ready to b«
seen by anyone who stops and
looks. For example, every tree,
even the smallest, lias a hydraulic
pump which enables it to circulate
gallons of water every day. And
you are forced to admit that “there
are more things in this world than
you dreamed of in your philoso
phy” wnen you discover that a
tree can turn air into wood in a
matter of ten short minutes. Then
there are the various ways in
which threes scatter their seed.
Most interesting, to me. is the
witch-hazel which developed jet
propulsion long before man had
even thought of inventing wheels.
The .witch-hazel has a pod con
taining two foot-ball shaped seed
which it shoots ten feet or more
when cold weather arrives.
