Species That Awakened to Renewed Life
After Ninety-Five Weeks.
The power of the moses to endure
repeated desiccation has recently been
experimentally treated by G. Schroeder,
who obtained the interesting result
that many of these plants can not only
resist months Of dryness without any
harm. but also that they do not perish
even under the strongest desiccation
carried on in a drier with the aid of
sulphuric acid. Plants of Barbula
4auralis, which were exposed for eight
cen months in the drier, after few
wettings resumed growth in all their
parts. Other species of Barbs,l0 be-
haved similarly. A curious expert
ment was performed with Grjmniia
pltlUindta, in which a stock which
had been cultivated for some
time in moist atmosph ere
under a bell glass was suddenly ex-
posed TO . warm and perfectly dry cur
rent Of ar. 1t became so dry IN a snort
time that It could be pulverized. Then
it lay in drier for ninety five weeks.
But the quickening moisture was still
competent TO awake it to renewed life.
The most rapid drying which could be
performed in the laboratory could not
destroy the plant. 1t even showed
| greater power of resistance than would
correspond with its real necessities,
for so speedy and complete a drying
out as was effected in the experiments
never occurs in Naturs. The fact that
a property acquired by adaptation is
so plainly manifested in excess is some
times otherwise demonstrable, and is a
hard problem for the theory of selec-
