The cold •causethe withdrawal of the water from the cells of the plant, forming ice crys- tals outside of the cells. The frost, pooling and contracting the surface, acts as asort of pump, and as soon as the cell is emptied of its life-giving fluid the plant dies. The truth of this theory has .been. proved during the ' present fall by numerous careful experiments. Greet variation was found in the amount of cold necessary to cause the death of vegetation.

He was a man of great prosperity and pos.. seseed flocks of siieep, cattle, goat's and camels, Yet these did not contribute te his happiness and peace of mind. There was discord, and so a broken family circle. The brothers were jealous ef one another andthe father and mo- ther were distracted and heartbroken, The same was true' of the family of Saul: He was called from the farin to the throne and had a fine chance, but missed it. His spelt became dirk. He grew jealous and threw a javelin at the head of his _son-in-law. All this was unkingly, arid tthe family circle was broken. Otte, of the things that breaks the family Medi° Is jealousy. It was jeal- ousy, largely, that broke, the family chi- ne of Jacob.
