sitive plant to a bright light at night

appeared troubled at first, and open
ed and closed its leaves irregularly,
sometimes nodding in spite of the
artificial sun that shed its beams at
midnight, and waking up, from the
force of habit, to find the chamber
dark, in spite of the time of day.
After an obvious struggle the plant
submitted to the change, without any
