Thu5 life or death comes to us from this plant, ac- cording to our knowing how to use it.
34. In the size of plants there is wonderful variety. There are some plants so small that we only know of their existence by their changing the color of the rocks and stones on which they groAV. To see their stems and leaves it is neces- sary to use the microscope.
35. From these small specimens, plants vary in size up to the giant trees of Cali- fornia, that stand 90 or 100 feet in girth and tower up to t...he height of 300 or 400 feet 1 64 Cork — Quinine — Cinnamon.
36. The trunk of one of these trees when lying on the ground is thirty feet high, which is as high as an ordinary two-story house.
37. One man had the stump of one of these trees smoothed off and built a house on it. One of these huge trees became rotten at the heart and was blown down in a storm. The center was cut away so that a horse and wagon could be driven through it. They are called the Redwood trees.
38. The bark of some trees is used to cover houses ; that of the cork-trees of Portugal and Spain gives us all our corks ; a certain tree from Peru gives us, in its bark, the fever-curing me- dicines called quinine and cinchona The slip- pery elm gives also a medicinal bark.
