THESE PLANTS ARE IMBECILEs.
Some Varieties Which Seem Never
to Reach IA Mature Growth.
From Mehan's Monthly.


Everyone understands what is meant by
the imbecile, when speaking of human be-
ings. The mental development of the child
is checked, and even when such a child
reaches the age of manhood it is still but
a child in it's feelings and wants; but it is
not alone among human beings that the
characteristics of imbecility are found. In
almost all trees, the characteristics of the
foliage or the habit are very different dur
ing the first few months of existence than
they are in after life. There is a matured
characteristic as well as an infantile one
The tulip tree, for instance, has its first
set of leaves entire. without any appear
ance of the lobe or the truncate termina-
ton which it assumes in old age; but some
times these juvenile characteristics will be
maintained through life-and then we have
what is known as the Liriodendron integ-
rifolia-that is to say, the entire-leaved tu-
lip tree.
This is more particularly marked among
evergreens. During the first year of the
arbor-vitae, pinus, expresses, retinospor1
and similar plants, the leaves are heath
like-that is, extending from the stem quite
separate ana distinct. but, occasionally
there are individuals carrying these char
acteristics through life; and many of the
so-called japanese species are merely veg
etable imbeciles. 1t is not uncommon for
acute observers to find branches assume
their adult form in many individuals in
this imbecile class. Just as in the case of
human beings, there are occasionally in
stances where imbeciles assume matured
characteristics.
This is also true of the animal world A
friend of the writer has an aquarium in
which tadpoles as well as other aquatic
creatures are raised. AS every one who is
ACQUAINTED with the commOnest events in
natural history is aware, the tadpole dur
ing its first season shows off it's tail. pushes
it legs and becomes a frog. In the case of
the friend referred to, he has a tadpole
which thrust out its legs and then ceased
To develop further. After three years it is
still a tadpole with its two frog legs, re-
tanning its tail, and in all other respects it
is a tadpole with the tadpole characteristic
intact. II may be termed froggy imbe-
cile.

this connection Sanford Fleming,

lied as link in the great passen-
