THE EYES OF PLANTS.
Their Sepsitiveness to Light Investi-
gated.
From the Literary Digest.

From the Literary Digest.
The sensitiyeness OF plants to light, In
Guiding the well-known phenomenon OF
''heliotropism" or turning toward light
have often been studied by botanists. One
of these investigators. Prof. Haberlandt of
the University OF Gratz. Germany, has set
himself the task of determining in just what
part of the vegetable organism this sensi-
tiveness resides, and he has succeeded as
he believes. in locating what he calls the
light perceiying organs of plants, which
ne describes In recent book (Leipsic 1900.
We quote the following:
BY covering the blade of the lead with
black paper, etc, Haberlandt shows that
the principal and most delicate sensitive
ness resides in the blade. although
coarser and secondary constituencies to the
incident light is found in the stalk. 1t re-
suits from this part of the inquiry that the
lamina of the leaf must contain the organs
for light perception, If such organs exist
Anything corresponding to visual organ
may be expected 10 be on the surface
although In such a translucent organ as
leaf this does not necessarily follow. IL
may, however be said that Haberlandt IS
amply justified in looking for what he calls
the ocelH of plants In the epidermis cover
Ing the upper surface of the leaf We may
therefore, narrow the problem thus: Imag-
ipe a horizontal leaf illuminated by light
striking 1t obliqueiy from above at forty
nve degrees; such a leaf is not in the
light position and will execute curva-
ture through forty-flve degrees-in fact un-
til It receives light at right angles to its
surface. Then curvature ceases and the leaf
remains In state>ef equilibrium, satisfied.
as IL were. with the light position"
But how does the leaf diferentate be-
tween oblique and perpendicular illumina-
ton? Prof. Haberlandt finds by micro
scopic examination that there Is bright
spot Of light on the inner walls of the
epidermic cells which changes position
when the, specimen is obiique Illuminated
He believes that the leaf Is stimulated to
curvature by the fact that the spots of
light are not central In the cells, and that
curvature ceases when the brightest illumi-
nation Is once more central. The membrane
