MR.. EDITOR: In a late number of the Press
was an account of pine Elm Beverly, Mass,
standing upon solid rock, from which it
could obtain no nourishment, and that had
sent out its roots twenty feet or more over the
ledge into swamp from it had drawn sup
plies to produce growth Of twenty feet in
hight and ten inches in diameter. Other
cases somewba. similar have called forth re-
marks from time to time, without shedding
much light upon the subject so far as am
aware.
have simple notion respecting it which
I would like to present, without, however,
Identifying it with the title OF theory. start
with the assumption that all vegetable growth
Is the result oil q chemical process some what
analogous to that of plating metals by means
OF galvanic battery. That Is by the action of
the positive and negative forces which per-
wade all substances in nature, the seed and
plant being positive to the dead matter on
which they iced. When these are in inlmt-
diate contact, this action is not so apparent
But in this case the roots constitute the posi-
tiae pole OF the battery and the muck in the
swamp, the negative, and the rock or atmos-
phere or both, the conducting medium, form
ing the electrometer. The connection being
made, the battery complete, with dust and
moisture enough upon the rock to form
slender root, it seems very easy to account for
the roots growing in that direction, whether
the root received any nutriment in gaseous
form by attraction from the swamp before
reaching it or not. Indeed it would seem a
greater mystery should root be seen extend
ing in any other direction under such circum.
stances.
When single root had reached the swamp
full supply of nutriment was received for the
rowth OF other roots, trunk, &c.
A few years ago an account wei the rounds,
OF grape vine in yard where there was no
soil but barren sand. After awhile it was
found TO be growing vigorously, and excited
the curiosity of bcholders, who, on examina-
ton found it had but one little root and that
extended OF on straight line nine feet,
think, 10 large beet bone buried in the sand,
and which was completely surrounded with
fine notwork OF rootlets piercing the bore at
every pore. Here seems to have been what
should call natural electromagnetic attrac-
ton between the live root and the decayipc
boLe there being moisture enough in the sand
or under it for a conductor. A good illustra-
ton of the same law may be seen in beans
and other vines as they aim at, and extend
their tenGrils towards the pole set ior them or
any dead substance nearest to them.
If Others have better explanation l hone
they will favor the public with il. as there
seems to be deal OF learned nonsense afloat
respecting vegetable instinct"
