A WATER BOUQUET. 



HEN flowers have been 

 placed under water for 

 a few hours they show 

 a remarkable kind of 

 beauty which can be seen in 

 no other way. Plants, we 

 know, are always exhaling 

 oxygen gas from their leaves 

 and flowers, but in our rooms and out of doors it 

 is an invisible process. We know that this is the 

 case from the testimony of scientists who have 

 proved it by experiments.
