Those skilled in the mysteries of organic chemistry
and plant physiology tell us that autunm tints are
due to chemical changes associated with the storing
kway of food material and the discharge of certain
waste products. This explanation, though matter
of fact and disturbing to our youthful belief in fairies
and wood nymphs, opens up a field of inquiry which
must tend to enlarge our viewpoint and increase our
appreciation of Nature's wonderful methods. We
find that all is governed by laws which act and react
in such manner as to ensure the end and object de-
sired.
