MOVEMENTS OF PLANTS A. G., San
COlOmbanO, Italy. Darwin. the scientist,
has infinitely investigated the subject of the
movements of plants, especially in climbing
plants, and has written several books on
the subject. He divided the sO-called climb
ing plants into four classes; first, those
which turn round a support and are not
aided by any other movement; secondly.
those endowed with irritable organs. which
when they touch any object clasp it, such
organs consisting of modified leaves,
branches or flower peduncles. These two
classes sometimes graduate to a certain
extent into one another. Plants of the third
class ascend merely by the aid Of hooks and
those of the fourth by rootletS; but as in
neither do the plants exhibit any special
movements they present little interest.
The hops joints whilst very young may be
seen to bend to one side and to travel slowly
round toward all points of the compass,
moving like the hands of a watch
with the sun. The revolving movement
continues as the plant continues to grow.
A greater number of twiners revolve in a
course opposite to that of the sun or 10 the
hands than in the reversed course and con-
sequently the majority, as is we'll
known, ascend their supports from
left to right Occasionally, though rarely,
plants of the same order Irvine in opposite
directions. Plants become climbers. AYERS
Darwin, in order, as it may be presumed, to
reach the light and expose a large surface
OF their leaves to its action and TO that Of
the Tree air Without entering Into all of
the scientific reasons it may be stated that
Darwin concluded that this power of cir
cumnutatlOn, as he calls Ii, is innate and
not excited by any internal agencies beyond
those necessary for the growth and vigor of
the plant. The means by which the various
movements are effected he attributes to uu-
equal growth, gravity and the attraction
for the sun, believing however, on the
whole, that the increased growth, first on
one side and then on another, is secondary
effect and that the increased turgeScence
swelling of the cells, together with the eX-
feasibility OF their walls, is the primary
cause Of the movement of circumnutation.
He Is ELIGIBLE-H. j. NJ, City. I'm der
the same head the Q. c. made reply on the
21st that 1.-THE child born to a couple who,
though Americans, may lie on visit TO a
foreign country is still eligible to the Presi-
dency of the United States" The answer is
repeated for your special benefit, because
language cannot make the reply more direct
or palmer, adding only that the COnStitu-
ton employs the term natural born" and
not born on American soil" But this
query, which bOOs up az serenely and Pc
rennlally as the request for a cure for
pimples and the twin demand for an EXTERN
inatOr of tieas and cockrOaches, was very
fully and from legal standpoint answered
in a paper in the San Francisco Law Jour-
nal of the issue of Friday. The paper is by
Oscar L. Shuck, member of the bar, and
the reason for its being is given in the fol-
lowing parenthetlcal introductory remarks:
The following paper has been prepared at the
request OF Hon. James V. COifey, Judge OF the
Superior Court, San Francisco, whose opinion
has been sought on The subject. Written Ques-
tons were propounded 10 his Honor In these
words
"If A and B, who are American born citizens,
90 TO Australia or any other foreign land, and a
son Is born thee and ehriStened In the church,
IS that child eligible " the Presidency Of tue
United States ?"
is II absolutely necessary to be born on
American soil 10 be eligible 10 The Preside ncyP"
The Judge remarked that his time WAS fully
taken up by the consideration OF cases actually
arising in his department Of the court How
ever, he thought the question presented pos
sessed national interest, and called for faithful
spread confusion Of Id as upon the subject
might be dissipated and truth made evident
1t is not the province of the Q. G. to re-
produce the learned and we'll digested paper
with Its citations. Suffice that what it dis
closes seems to warrant these deductions:
person need not be natlye-born IN order to be
naturaLbO
Natural born" is more comprehensive term
than native born"
AL natives are not natural born" and all
'Datural- born" are not natives.
Persons born on foreign soil may be eligible to
the Presidency OF The United States.
This ter privilege IS not limited to children
Of United States Minis eTs or either representa-
lives abroad of our Government, or the sons of
distinguished meu, but is the brthright OF every
lore lgn-bOrn Child of an American citizen.
All such offspring are natural born.
LEE AT FORT KNOX-L T. NJ, City.
While the Q. C. has at the time of writing
been unable to fnd the data, there is no
doubt that Robert E. Lee, whom you knew
as having had charge Of the construction of
the inclosed pentagCnal fortifcation on the
PenObscOt River opposite Bucksport, in
Maine, was the man who afterward became
the great Confederate leader. Lee gradu-
ated from West Point in July, 1929, at the
head OF his class, and was assigned to the
Engineer Corps, serving until 1884 at Fort
Monroe as assistant to Captain Andrew
ton Of the Notifications for the defense of
New York harbOr; then transferred to
Washington as assistant to Chief Engineer
Summer, and in the summer of 1887 ordered
to the Mississippi River to examine, make
plans ana render estimates for the improve
ment of the navigation Of the River at St
Louis. He obtained the rank of Captain
in 1888; served as Chief Engineer Of the
army of General Scott during the war with
Mexico in 1861, and after the same pre-
sumably returned to his duties in the con-
struction of Notifications, from which he
had been taken in 1874, for his supernten-
dency of the academy at West Point did not
begin until September, 1852 No other Lee
graduated from West Point before 1854 was
in the Engineer Corps.
