There is a curious custom among them

each new twig is received it is carried

orange blossoms are reached; then it

GUIDED BY THEIR SENSES.
Plants Are Endowed With a High De
gree of intelligence.

Professor Shaler of Harvard univel
sity is of the opinion that plants are
possessed of intelligence that serves
the purpose of self-protechon and self
qualification to a very considerable de-
gree. Recently after discussing the
Gutomata observed in growing things
he said:
I'VE may accept the statement that
our higher intelligence is but the
Illuminated summit of mans nature as
true, and extend it by the observation
that intelligence Is normally uncon.
Scious, and appears as conscious only
after infancy, in our waking hours,
and not always then" In summing Up
the professor uses the following sen.
fences; Looking toward the organic
world In the manner above suggested,
seeing that an unprecedented view OF
life affords no warrant for the notion
that automata anywhere exist tracing
as we may down to the lowest grade OF
the animal series what is fair evidence
Of actions which we have to believe to
he guided by some form of intelligence,
seeing that there is reason to conclude
that plants are derived from the same
primitive stock as animals. we are IN
no condition to say that intelligence
cannot exist among them. In fact, all
that we can discern supports the view
that throughout the organic realm the
intelligence that finds its fullest ex.
preston in man is everywhere at
work.
