Plant* That Give Heat.
We do not, as u ruie, think of plant*
as giving out heat, yet at certain times
some flowers show an astonishing rise
of temperature. Most remarkable In
this respect are certain kinds of Aruin.
Just at the opening of the flower In
these cases there Is a great liberation
of heat. This is line to the fact that
the respiration, or breathing, is at
such times very vigorous. Some very
Interesting experiments have been car.

of the most remarkable cases was that
