ing point, it was found by a simple calculation that a surface of dew radiates 62.9 

 per cent, of a lampblacked surface. All leaves covered with dew radiate 62.9, lamp- 

 black being 100. 



We see from this that there is a considerable saving of heat in plants due to the 

 deposition of dew upon their leaves. This saving probably amounts to about 15 

 per cent., for most plants.
