Plants Thai Seem to Reason.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
DO plants Think" said a 81. Mary
planter. "Have they powers of reason or
any way of determining what is going on
around them? The questions seem rather
fantastic, / admit but they are prompted
by some very curious observations made az
my home only a few weeks ago
My daughter who is very fond Of how-
ers, has a morning glory vine growing in
a box on her window ledge. While water
ing Il recently she noticed a delicate ten
drill reaching out toward a nail IN the side
casing. She marked the position Of the
tendril in pencil on the wood, and then
shifted the nail about an inch lower Next
day the little feeer had detected itself
very noticeabiy, and was again heading
for the nail. The markings ana shifting
were repeated four or live times, always
with the same results. and finally one
night the tendril which had grown con-
siderably, managed 10 reach the coveted
support, and we found IL cooled tightly
around il. Meanwhile another bunch OF
tendrils had been making for hook that
was formerly used for a thermometer.
Just before 1t reached its destination my
daughter strung a cord across the window
sash directly above. Il was a choice then.
between the old love ways seems to prefer
a cord TO anything else, Vt wasn't long ia
making up its mind In very few hours
the pale, crisp little tendrlls-which. by the
way, convey a surprising suggestion OF

ward the Irvine. Next day they reached

nomoga, and, if so | would be very glad

The chief port OF export OF Florida phos-
phate is Fernandina, the only other inn

being lumber TO very small amount Al
though the foreign demand for Florida
lumber is not very extensive, the home
market is now an important element in
the booming trade of that state, which

climatic conditions which wrought havoc
