When these starlet ware proved to be without foundation, 1 ther* was a general tendency to disbelief* * all of a similar kind. Now, however, II seems established that seed* may live, under proper conditions, a great many year*, perhaps for oonturles, and when we oon> alder that under these circumstances the { protoplasm within the seed actually maintains It* vitality, this fact is very significant. On the question of how seeds aooompllsb this, much light has been thrown by recent experiment* of C. de Candolle, ' the French I>otan 1st, which he describe* ta La Revue Solentlflque. Soma part* of hi* article ar* as follows: "Seeds that have retalnod their gsrmliw?b?i? am nld to Dossecs 'latent lite.' This expraaalon lacks precision, fat , we may aok whether the life of the aoeda ' Is oompletelj arretted or If It Is only retarded, and the answers would cot be (be aame In all cams. "We owe to Meaara. Van Tieghom and t Bonnier the following experiment, which , pro Tea that aeeda can, In fact, live for a certain time tbla retarded life. Three lota of the same number of pess and beana were plaoed, the brat In the open air, the \ esoond In a eealed glssa tube oontalnlng i ordinary air, the third In a aealed tube oontalnlng only pure oarbonlo add gas. 4t the end of two yeara the aeeda of the first lot had sensibly Increased in wolght, and nearly all bad retained tbelr (erminat lag power.

Moreover, the air oontained In the tube with thorn bad obanged In oamporltton. lu proportion of oxygen bad l fallen to 11.4 par oont, and there was j mixed with it 8.8 per cent of oarbonlo add. As to the seeda kept In the oarbonlo acid, mm of them ooold terminate, and their weight bad not obanged." ' Experiments are then described by M de Oandolle that relate to the wonderful power of realatanoe to oold displayed by aeeds.

Hence the active life of the i aaada In qoaetlon muat have been really suspended, and nevertheless they were . able to germinate when planted.
