Among the most remarkable of all nature's phenomena is the marvel- lous light-giving power of many of our common plants and animals. Under certain conditions nastur- tiums, sunflowers, dahlias, tube- roses and yellow lilies may be seen to glow with a soft radiance, vary- ing in color and intensity. Only those flowers that have an abun- dance of yellow or orange shades exhibit this phosphorescence. The best time to see the light is after dark, when the atmosphere is clear and dry. The light is sometimes steady, but often intermittent and dashing. Often in the early fall the ground will be illuminated by the glow from the dead leaves. The Australian poppy is the most remarkable of all the luminous plants, for it has been found to send out a light of its own of quite notable brilliancy.

One species of mushroom in Australia. 16 inches in diameter, was of such brilliancy that, seen from a distance, it* light frightened the natives. More interesting than the lumi- nous plnnts are the luminous ani- mals. The Pacific coast, famous for its many curious specimens of plant and animal life, is the home of many of them. Of all these the Ascidians are most noteworthy.
