Distant hills, green a week ago, are now speckled with gold. A flicker, of fire may be seen in some of the .sugar maples.. In the Ar- boretum of the Plant Research Institute the winged spindle- - tree (Euonymus alata) has again donned its rich, rosy scarlet robe. In a few days the full glory of autumn pageantry will be upon us and we shall gaze with awe at this wonderful spec- tacle of nature. The color change of leaves in fall is caused by the gradual disappearance;of the green col- oring matter,. chlorophyll. This magic chlorophyll -uses the sun's rays for energy and turning cer- tain elements of the air into food. The process of food - building in ordinary deciduous plants goes on only during com- paratively warm ,weather. As the nights become cooler in fall, this phenomenon gradual- ly ceases •and the development of chlorophyll stops. Besides the green pigments that make up chlorophyll, leaves also' contain, in varying quantities, red and yellow pig- ments. In most trees , and shrubs these pigments are hidden be - POWERED BY A PIECE OF PAPER?—"Energy paper," a new concept in portable electric- power, may run the elec- tric shaver of the future, power childrens' toys or start your car on a cold winter day. Carol Dinner holds a wafer-thin paper battery weighing less than 1/10 of an ounce and a prototype electric shaver which runs on its power. The "energy paper" cell consists of dry paper fibres impregnated with potassium persulphate and finely powdered carbon. The paper is sandwiched between a thin sheet of zinc and a layer of conducting foil. It is activated by dipping in water, then slipped into a special compartment where It generates enough power to run the shaver for five to 10 minutes. The concept is still in the development stages. N neath the more conspicuous green, and appear only in the fall when the green pigments disappear. Many plants that turn a vivid red in the fall have purplish and copper -green leaves. One example is the purple barberry. Contrary to general belief, frosts have little influence on the bright colors except that they naturally. slow down the food -building process. Actual- ly, they may shorten "the fall coloring period by removing the leaves from the trees too qulck- ly. ' A very hot, dry summer, too, may cause the leaves to drop much earlier. As the leaves .turn color, a change takes place at the base of the leaf stalk. where_ a layer: of corky cells is being formed. • This layer of cells, known as the abscission layer, facilitates the falling of the leaf and is nature's way of sealing up the point Where the leaf is attached to;the stalk. As soon as this layer of cells has formed , the first slight breeze of autumn sends the leaves falling lightly to the ground, ` • A question often asked is why autumn in North America is notably more spectacular than it is in most other coun- tries. Many people think this is due to the weather that pre- vails -in these countries, but this is not entirely true. . The main factor that con- tributes to our fall colors is the species of trees that are native to this region. If one visits any 'of the other 'famous botan- ical collections in Europe dur- ing fall, one becomes impress- ed immediately with the fact that nearly all the colorful trees are of North American origin. At Kew Gardens in England, for example, the twolnost highly colored trees in autumn are the red maple and the black gum, both native to North America; in fact both grow wild in Ontario, although the latter has a more soutp&i1y and sparse distribution. Other plants that contribute. a great deal to our fall colors are the sumac, the shadbushes, the highbush cranberry , the red oak, the scarlet oak, and the native populars and elms, which provide the gold en touch. Some exotic plants are worth growing solely for their autumn. color. These usually change color . earlier than our native. plants, thus extending the fall color season. When planting your garden it will be worth- while to include some of these plants. • Among the best and most flamboyant exotic trees are the ginnala maple, which often outshines the native red maple in our arboretum but colors earlier and has a more fleeting effect; the Ohio buckeye, . a tree like a horse chestnut, with large palmate leaves, that change to red in fall; the true Chinese elrn , a small tree ,with thick leathery foliage that will take on a crimson and yellow hue in the twit f_ ew weeks; and the maidenhair -fern tree, which_ glows with a soft luminous yel- low tone. Shrubs of exotic. origin that ' have beauty of fall color in- clude the smoke bush with leaves that change to purple, scarlet and gold; the Pekin cot- oneaster, showy Chinese hedge plant with�,alk green leaves that tum to crimson in the fall; the flowering currant, • now pre- senting a most dazzling scarlet effect.
