sensitiveness of Plants.

Since the plant is a fixed organism, and
cannot move in search of food, it is essen
tial that its roots thoroughly penetrate the
soil of the locality in which it is found in
such manner as to place its absorbing sur
faces (root hairs) in contact with whatever
nutrient solutions the substratum may
contain. The necessity for such penetra-
ton of the soil has led to the development
of irritability to gravity in the protoplasm
of the roots. Primary roots in response to
the stimulus of gravity tend to place them
selves in a position with their axes lying
parallel to the force of gravity and the tips
pointing vertically downward. But If all
the roots assumed this position they would
depend from the stem in a compact mass
in manner not advantageous to the
plant. The secondary or smaller roots,
however, react to gravity in such manner
that they place their axes at right angles
to the line of force, thus securing a pene-
tration of the soil in a second direction.
These forms OF reaction to gravity are also
exhibited by other organs OF the plant, but
do not occur to any extent among animals.
An important requirement of aerial
organs is that they assume position in
which their surfaces will be exposed to the
sunlight at an angle most advantageous
for the performance of their functions of
the formation of food and Transportation.
To meet this need, those portions exposed
to the light have acquired specific man.
ner of response to the light by which some
place their surfaces parallel and others at
right angles to the direction of the rays.
Gravity acts continually and invariably in
one direction, and with constant force.
Consequently the movements of plants in
response to this stimulus are compare
lively simple. Light has its source in the
sun, which varies its position through $50
degrees during the daytime and is wholly
absent at night. In consequence the move
ments of the plant to adjust its surface to
this stimulus of eyer-varying direction and
intensity are of great complexity. This
variability of the stimulus has, more
over, induced in the plant delicacy of
irritability toward light far beyond that
exhibited toward gravity. In large and
varied category of plants it has become of
great importance that they execute certain
movements when solid bodies come in con-
tact with them or strike their surfaces.
This irritability to contact or impact has
been developed in a number of carnivorous
plants. which entrap and hold insects,
which serve as food; in the tendrils of
climbing plants, which coil around sup
ports and lift the foliage and flowers into
Sunlight: in a large class of sensitive
plants" which quickly fold their leaves on
the reception of such stimulus, thus
avoiding injury from hail or grazing ami
mails. The need of delicacy is much
greater here than in the previous forms
described, and the response is much more
marked and rarid.-Popular Science

A SkepticaI Editor,

That Smithton, Westmoreland County,
farmer who struck spring of whisky while
digging a ditch on his land few days ago,
has been making some more surprising
discoveries.
A revenue officer was sent up there to see
whether the whisky was tax-paid or moon
shine. He reports it chiefly moonshine,
but does not know how to act in the mat
ter. There seems to be no doubt that the
whisky was buried by Braddock's soldiers
on their retreat, which occurred some time
ago. They left it behind because they had
more than they could carry comfortably.
There was no tax on whisky then, and
there is some doubt expressed as to
whether the spring can be legally taxed
now.
While the Government officers are look
ing up the question, the honest farmer is
working ahead on his ditch. On Monday,
about twenty five feet from the whisky
spring, he struck hard substance, which
seemed to be solid rock. A little digging
revealed den of petrified snakes. Whether
these have any connection with the whis-
key or not is matter of doubt.
He continued his work in the ditch, and
yesterday afternoon he struck another
spring. A pink liquid flowed from it. 1t
has been examined by experts, who say it
undoubtedly is hyoscyamine. Its presence
is explained by an old inhabitant, who
says there was promising growth of hen
bane on the farm early in the present CEN
tury, and that it got tramped into the
ground. The work of time and nature has
produced the hyoscyamine.
The farmer is going through with the
ditch to the end. He says he has good
prospects of striking pilocarpine in a day
or SO, and he wouldn't be a bit surprised
to strike gusher of bichloride of gold. He
intends to pipe it off until the flow of
whisky gives out and the petrifed snakes
begin to show signs of life. Then he thinks
it will be time enough to try the n.y.
oscyamine and other things he expects to
find.
The ditch is open for the inspection of
any one. Visitors to it would do well to
provide themselves with tin cup. There
may be crowd at the spring. Some men
who spent few hours there on Monday
report that they saw sea serpent in the
Youghiogheny River early yesterday
morning. 1t was green, with CLASSY eyes.

Shot-putting.

Two Berkeley ladies, one q. @. coed
and the other the wife of teacher OF
physics at the Lowell High School, San
Francisco, dressed in complete bloomer
attire, climbed Grizzly Peak, back OF the
university buildings, before sunrise yes
terday morning. Each had on heavy
walking shoes and were armed with Alpine
stats to help them climb. They arose at
O'Clock, and thinking that they would be
able to reach the summit of Grizzly and
return again before the other people in the
nelghborhood we've up, started out. They
had not gone far before cow belonging to
dairy ranch on the road beheld the UNI
usual sight and gave chase to the bloomer
girls, but they escaped without injury be-
yond the tearing of their clothes consider
ably in a barbed-wire fence.
Reaching the summit of the peak at
about 80 they commenced their descent,
but had not gone far before they were at
