P. E. I. OCTOBEIPS BLAZING BUSH As you are out for a ramble ltese autumn days no doubt you have admired the beauty of the many-colored foliage of the woods. The October tints of the leaves of the various trees, contrasted with the pines and other evergreens which retain their deep green all year, a source of pleasure to all nature lovers. But have you ever noticed the witch hazel bush on your autumn walks? In its olden yellow it vies with any o the brlghtly-hued trees at hand, Strange to say it is not the leaves of the shrub but the flowers which give it this gaudy appear- ance. Yes! this odd plant, lending such a note of color to the landscape, is now in full bloom. If you were to exa- mine the flowers you would be somewhat disappointed. They can scr-‘cely be called flowers. each being but a. more woody saucer with four thin yellow ribbons straggling out in four directions. How unlike some flowers we knowl Yet humble as it is, when appearing in thous- and on the witch hazel the very twigs are obscured by the golden mass. Even after the wilted leaves drop the blossoms still adorn the landscape. As you pause to admire this odd shrub with the odd name, bl0om- in; at such an unseaaonable time. ‘you may be surprised to hear a ‘iliarp click. perhaps two in quick i succession. This is the witch hazel's time for seeding as well as for blooming. Beside the yellow flowers on the same twig there are little nutlets. Home, you will notice, are split open showln two shiny black seeds within. In t e bright autumn sunshine the nutlet shrinks and in shrinking presses tightly on the two black seeds, at Inc same time opening wider and wider. Ac last the pressure becomes toe much and with a sharp "click, click" the seeds are shot far and wide to germinate elsewhere. A strange plant this, that bears its blossoms and its fruit 0n the same twig at the same time! It has taken a whole year for these seeds to de- velop. The yellow flowers of this October will wilt and the pod clinB bn all through the coming winter, enlarging with the spring sunshine, maturing with the bee‘. of next summer, and ripening, ready to shoot out oi’ the opening pod when the flowers of the year are in full bloom.

"Further. navigators and wireless people have received instruction on their panels, their instrument pan- els in the air, by means of colors. indicating whet wave length they are on or what course and so on. in contact with the various peoplr on the ground, and if a mm can- not recognize his correct colors he is going to do some harm."
