How Plants See.

An interesting theory of the mech
anism by which the direction of Incl.
dent light is perceived by plants has
been put forward by g. Haberlands. a
German botanist. He believes that
the epidermsc cells are, so to speak,
the eyes of the plant Thus. accord
ing to his view. when light strikes
leaf at right angles to the surface 1t
results from the plano-convex form OF
the epidermic cells, that the inner
wall Of each cell Is Illuminated more,
brightly In the center than at the peri
phefy. This makes 1t possible for the
lear to orientate itself In regard 10
light. Thuss suppose the plant to be
moved SO that the light now strikes
the leaf obliquely, the bright patches
of light on the inner cell walls will no
longer be central This change may
be believed to constitute stimulus
calling forth q curvature of the leaf
stalk BY which the leaf Is brought
again to it's normal position ali right
angles 10 the incident light. Thus
the leaf moves when the bright patch
| is rot central and comes to rest when
each Of its epidermic cells Is centrally
| Illuminated. L

! London market availed itself of this oppor-
tunity this morning to sell about 30 600 shares
OF American stocks in New York. The dennite
abandonment of any speculative revival on ac-
count of the peace negotiations Immediately
followed. The professional element thereupon
proceeded to take steps to undo what they hao
done yesterday and Saturday. The bear
operators who had been driven TO cover pro-
cseded TO renew their short contracts and the
small professional commitments on the long
side were thrown over again. Some or the
newer phases of the Equitable Life analr were
not wholly relished in stock market circles.
notably the general arraignment of conditions
in the life insurance contained in Former
President Cleveland's acceptance of the trus-
teeship. The crop bulletin OF the Weather
Bureau received an unfayorable interpretation
IN the commodities markets The conditions
reported for corn and cotton were considered
unsatisfactory. while much was made OF the
disa ppointing yield reported from the Winter
wheat being harvested, and the improved con-
dition of Spring wheat was practically Ignored.
The increase shown in the May exports or agrl-
cultural products of nearly SO. .00O.0 over
May OF last year did not help the market q
The uninterrupted ruling in the money
market took the subject practically out OF
consideration. Another payment by the SUD
treasury of $50o, 600 on account of telegra phic
transfer from San Francisco marked the fur-
ther return of funds recently transmitted 10
