Nature has girded on her robe of green, and by the touch of her magical wand, has toned down its rough features to an almost delicate softness. The young maize planted in a soil that has lain fallow, perhaps for a thousand years is rapidly culming upward; and the rich sheen of the long lance-like leaves, as they bend gracefully over, hides from view the sombre hues of the earth.
Though by those who are more precise it is still known as the Diplococcus pneumoniæ or Diplococcus lanceolatus, from its faculty of usually appearing in pairs, and from its lance-like shape.
