The record of the growth of tree rings has been used to determine the age of ruins of early Indian villages in Texas by comparing the growth. rings of pieces of wood found among the ruins with the known records. These growth rings are sometimes called the "fingerprints of time."
Peat is made up of the decom- posed remains of plants accumu- lated over many yearslin bogs in cool and damp climates. Our Is- land climate would seem to be ideal for producing high grade peat, though for some unknown reason Island peat does not meas- ure up to the high standard of Irish peat. This is strange con- sidering that the peat bogs of our province contain the mosses and plants, etc., necessary to the for- mation of such cheap fuel.
The maidenhalr tree, last relic of an ancient race, was wiped out in Europe by the ice age. It ling- ered on in the Orient to be pre- served in the beautiful temple gardens.
The two giant ice caps, the Greenland ice cap and the Ant- arctic ice cap, are of great thick- ness-8000 feet in Greenland and 9000 feet in the Antarctic. This vast accumulation of ice actually pushed the rocks down a depth of about 1600 feet. This downward movement of solid matter may account for the coal seams lying so far under the bosom of the earth, and strange but true, parts of Canada heighboring Greenland are still rising.

A single volcanic eruption has been known to form a layer on the ground surrounding it, from 20 to 100 feet thick; repeated eruptions may increase this to thousands ofieet. thus forming a plateau. The outpouring of molten rock stretched from Northern Ire- land to Iceland and Greenland. Think of it! Continents are be- lieved to be formed in times of great volcanic activity by convec- tion currents in the earth's molten interior piling up the rocks of the crust.
The wings of the Flying Lizards consist of folds of skin stretched between the forearms, with their elongated little fingers, and the legs. As in larger birds, the big bones are filled with air to give buoyancy.
It is a curious fact that more rain falls on the side of a moun- tain towards the prevailing winds and a rain shadow develops on the: farther side of the mountains, The melon-sized fruit of the Breadiruit tree is a staple food in Malaya and the Pacific Islands.
The chla plant is one of the old- est plants ih the New World. It seems to have ranked in popular- ity with staples like Maize, cacao and chill and was grown in the floating gardens of the Aztecs, for the sake of the nutritious seeds of a beachnut flavor. It was among the gifts offered by the Indians to their white visitors; and archaeol- ogists, digging in ancient graves in Southern California. have turn- ed up deposits of the seed left as viatlcum of departed souls, which attest the antiquity of its use with- in the llmits of the U.S.A. Even today Mexico shops sell chla as part of their stock in trade. Some! of the present day Indi- ans of Southern California, mix chla meal with wheat flour, im- parting to the latter a delicious nut-like flavor. Made into gruel. chla is soothing even to inflamed digestive organs, The Indians gathered the crop in baskets and threshed out the seeds by using the paddles of their canoes. But the Mexican farmers cut. thresh, and wlnnow it like flax or wheat. . It is interesting to note that wild Rice grows in every state of the U. S. east of the Rocky Moun- tains, and also in China and Jap- an and Canadian territory bor- dering on the Great Lakes.
The food value of wild rice is high and compares very favorably with its cousin. the cultivated rice Mr. Jenks reports a wilderness soup 'made of wild rice and blue- berries that sounds as if it ought to be a good dish here in the Gar- den of the Gl.lif.. .-

Many flowers with their nectar held deeply in long narrow corolla-tubes rely on butterflies for cross pollination. The length of the insects tongue equals that of the corolla-tube and ranges up to 11 inches in some tropical flow-

Wee Bunny wandered here and there. At long last he came to the edge of the Green Forest. on the Green Meadows there were no friendly trees, only the friendly grass. Here at the edge of the Green Forest were bushes grow- in: Just outside where the tall trees grew. He dldntt venture far info the Green Forest. but remained close to the edge. There he found an old log lying on the ground. it was hollow, but the hollow was not very big, Just big enough for a small Rabbit to crouch in comfort- ably. It was a splendid place in which to keep out or sight. It was a splendid place in which to sleep. It was a splendid place in which to feel safe.
One morning he heard a new voice. It wasn't a pleaant voice. It sounded as it someone was in a bed temper. It was a scolding voice. Wee Bunny crept to the en- trance of the ole. log and peeked out. At first, he couldn't see anyone. Then

someone ran down the trunk of the tree and stopped, head down, clinging to the trunk a few feet a- bove ground. He was dressed in red; even his tail was red. Wee Bunny wondered how in the world he could stay on that tree head down. Why didn't he fall off? He dldnlt. He was Just as much at home on that tree as Wle Bunny was on the ground. He was too small to be afraid of. Anyway, that L5 what Wee Bunny thought.
