He was secretary to the Embassy at Brussels, then at Turin, llien at Naples, and from 1842 to 1848 rep- resented Trovins in the Chamber of Deputies. He was not a great speaker, but was an active member of the Conservative Party until the Revolution of 1S48, when he retired and de- voted himself to literature. His most important works are: Uistoire de la politique extirieure du youvcrncmcnt francais de 1830 a iS.'(S (1850) ; Hist aire de la reunion de la Lorraine a la France (1854-.5!1): and L'Efilise romaine et le premier Empire (1804-1)9), the work which gained him admission to the Academy in 18G9. During the Franco-German War he wrote political letters valuable for their opportuneness more than for their literary style, notably, La Franee et la Prusse dci^ant I'Europe. After the peace he be- came the protector of exiles from Alsace and Lor- raine who wished to continue under French i-ule. His wife, Louise de Broglie, was also ;i writer, and the Count supported her brother, the Duke, in politics, against JI. Thiers. He be- came Senator for life in 1878. HAUSTO'EIA (Xeo-Lat. nom. pi., from hau- star, drawer, from haurire, to draw). A term applied to special structures which are found in a variety of plants, and whose function is that of attachment and suction. Some of the best illustrations of such outgrowths are found among parasitic fungi, in which the filaments have the general habit of putting forth processes that penetrate the cells of their hosts. In the interior of the host cell the haustorium usually enlarges, and through the greatly increased sur- face it is able rapidly to absorb nourishment for the fungus. Such haustoria generally cause the death of the host cells. Haustoria of a far more complicated structure are found in higher plants, as the dodder {Ci(scnta), and such parasites as the beech-drop and broom-rape {Orohancliacew) , which live on the roots of certain trees. In these groups the haustoria are probably really ad- HAUSTOHIA OF DODDER 1.

They penetrate the tissue of the host and establish a direct connection with the conducting vascular bundles, so that the para- site actually taps the sources of food-supply, water, and organized food material, and draws ud' what it needs.
