seven times that of the e. _ then, should the hydrogen leap u_) and out at all? Some of the pro- minences have lasted more than a mﬂmh; what holds them up? Sir James Jeans tells us the answer: it is the pressure exerted by radia- tion. he says. It is calculated that the pressure of the sunlight fall- ing on the whole illuminated hein- isphere of the earth, amounts to only 75,000 tons, and is not notice- able. '

At the point of origin-the sun ——the effect is far more formid- able,-“enough to fling out great fantastic wraiths of hydrogen. despite the pull of gravitation.” tIt may not be amiss here to men- tion another effcct of the solar radiation. Fifty years ago it was the common belief that the tall of a comet. streamed out in its wake as it rushed along. When photo- graphy came in, it was seen that the comet's tail was at an angle to its course. somtimes at a right angle: and this is due to the pres- sure of the solar radiation, blow- ing the tail crosswise, as the comet goes round the sun).

Inside of the scarlet chromos- phere, is the “reversing layer", about 1.000 miles thick. Its name is derived from certain effects on the solar epectrum. which we need not consider here. Undcr this is the "pbotospherc" “a laycr of in- candesccnt- cloud of unknown thick- nesto us the real sun." It is in the photosphere that the sunspots take Lheir rise.

Sir Arthur Eddington thinks that the stirfacc temperature of the sun is 10.000 degrees F.. mid at the centre 70.000000 degrees; Pro- fessor Spencer Jones the Astron- omcr Royal accepts tlicsc calcula- tions. so nothing remains for us but to agree.

The Blld ltlolh

In the early spring as tiie buds are swelling and beginning to show green at the tips a small cinnamon brown caterpillar .w£ll often be found boring into them. A careful examination of the twigs may reveal the presence of the tiny brown, silk-lined cases from which the lavae have emerged. They do not all come out at once. In fact the total period may extend over a ivcck or more, but in general, it will be found to occur during the first weeks of May, or when the bud tips are beginning to show green. In a, short time after em- ergence their particles of brown- ish excrement will be thrown out at the tip of the bud upon which they are feeding and sometimes a drop of liquid will ooze from the wound. The tender green tips are first consumed, and then boring into the centre of the cluster, the caterpillar feeds upon the unopen- ed blossoms destroying large num- bers of them. In some cases bud moth larvae have been observed boring down through the bud for a short distance through the heart of tlic tender shoot so that. the tips withers, or they may bore into the side of a tender leaf-bearing shoot likewise causing the death of the tip. In other cases they have been known to bore directly through the base of a fruit bud thus destroy- ing it entirely. With the unfold- ing of the blossoms the larvae will bc found feeding upon the ex- pzindiiig leaves. tying down addi- tional leaves with a silken web as more food is required. At this period of its life the young larva lives within a tube made from a wilted leaf, the stalk of which was first. partly severed. rolled tip, and loosely lined with silk. Within this tube the caterpillar lives for six or seven weeks, completing its growth and transforming to a shiny brown pupae within its nest. sometime during the last week in June and the first three week of July. In this stage it remains about seventeen days. emerging as an ashy-grey moth with a light band across the front wings from early in June until early in Aug- ust. The mature caterpillar is

VEGET- ABLES YOU CAN GROW WITH EASE

SOME UNCOMMON

The Qrﬁzlhil’) fun in vegetable gardening is w crow the 1m- common crops not offered m the

market. Chervil, which resembles parsley, has a flavor which many favor. Upland crass and corn salad are appetizing additions to the

salad list. l-iamburgrooted pars- ley is a delicious ingredient of stews. Celerlac. or rooted celery,

when cooked and served in salads. imparts a delicious celery ﬂavor.

Popcorn is easy to grow. Horse- radish sets are good- suggeitwns for next winter. Tarragon plants will provide a crop of leaves which will transform vinegar in which they are steeped.

These are only a few of the out- of-the-ordinary vegetables that you can grow with ease. Look over the seed list again, and pick out a few

new vegetables to acid variety to your garden.

GET RID OF GARDEN ENEMIES

The gardeners medicine chest is amazingly simple compared with the catolog of human remedies. Little is known about controlling plant diseases and the weapons we wield against insects have been in most cases used for a long time. The newest insecticide is a vege- table extract whose secret; was ob- tained from a tribe of savages.

The gardener who is confused about. sprays and dusts may survey here in a few minutes the whole field and acquire sufficient know- ledge to enable him to meet cor- rectly any problem which may arise. Meet it. that is. as well as anyone can. Sprays and dusts may all be divided into three ciasstesp.

1. Fungicides, which may be itse- less to kill insects. but. destroy fungi. mildews and similar c.011- d‘tions most of which are itsually referred to as plant diseases.

2. Contact poisons. which kill insects with which they come in contact when dusted or sprayed on plants.

3. Stomach poisons. which re- main on leaf tissues and poison insects which eat the leaves
