evidenced by the little olive-colored threads OF
vegetable substance which we find attached to
rocks, and sometimes floating on the surface of
apparently one of the lowest and least interest
ing of all forms of vegetable life. DR.. John
Lndley, In his valuable work, the Vegetable
" Its genera is now admitted on all hands to be
plants, since M. Decaisnes important discovery
OF the vegetable nature of several things which
Nevertheless, it is curious to see how much at
one period at least of their existence they have
an ANNA! nature, II the power Of moving from
place TO place Is to be taken as an indication OF
such quality. 1t seems incontestible, notwtth-
standing the denial of Mohl and others, that
many OF the Conferva tribe, especially OF the
u ana
bodies, or spheres, which after time acquire q
power of rapid and quasi voluntary motion
that by degrees, and in consequence Of
their constantly tapping against the soft
side of the cell that holds them, they
escape into the water, and when there
they swim about actively, Just IKE
attach themselves to stone or some other
body, lose their locomotive quality, and thence
forth terminate and grow like plants" In view
living bodies, lthe question arises: Are plsnts
endowed with sensation? AS they possess life,
rritability, and motion, directing their organs
not their functions be attended with some de-
gree of sensation? The want Of sensation can
not certainly be proved, and to the property or
contractflity In the living tissue of plants. by
which they are enabled to contract upon the
application of stimulaAt, just as the tissue Of
animals, must be solely attributed their lifelike
motions. While numerous plants possess the
functions apparently of an animal, there is man
ifestly an antagoniSm between them, and the
distinguishing features between the vegetable
and animal kingdoms the more readily appear
where we find that where carbonic acid Is alb
sorbed and oxygen given out we have plant,
and where oxygen is absorbed and carbonic
acid given out we hav an animal.

Telephones in New York.

New York Correspondence st. Louis Republican
"Some far Off halloo breaks the Silent air. Is
Miltonian sentence, most apt now in almost
every business house Of New York. Somebody
will yet go crazy shouting "Hello, hello"
through telephone, and hearing drowned
telephone is a great invention, but when a
conversation is begun the still small voice is
lost in curses. whats that?" II don't hear
don't catch you yet" 900 ahead" "Hello,
hello" 1.-THE old thing don't work. "Send
for the Inspector" This IS about what you
hear going on in every bank, brokers' office,
lawyers Office in New York. You feel like ex-
claiming: 20, t2iepn one, halloed be thy name"
but when 1t comes TO the talking it very often
isn't there. But it's great consolation to
think that we can put our mouths to hole
and yell hello, and somebody somewhere can
hear you. and answer. "What is It," and then
'shello' back at you. The instrument, 1T Is
said. will be of no use in a country where they
can't yell. ''Hello." Truly, the word must
have been born for The telephone, for when we
talked to each other we said "Halloo!' but now
that we telephone 1t, it is 'sHello." An alarm
of fire started by telephone in Brooklyn, on
Monday, when a burglar, who had ceased
burgling, set the cOuntys shoe shops all on
fire, and although the line was direct 1T didn't
get to the right ear for an hour. The tele-
phone inspectors are getting almost as numer-
Gus as the telephones. There seems much to
be done yet to get them into state OF perfec-
or amuffied message which sounds as though
tie man at the other end had his oyercOat
folded over his mouth. The difficulty en-
countered in New York, 1t is said, Is due to the
multiplicity of wires which come In contact
with those in telephone use.
