has been proved by numerous careful

found In the amount OF cold necessary

plants dry out quickly and are killed

Many plants will survive zero weather,

Instinct In Plants,

Climbing plants have two opposing
methods Of describing spiral growth.
The plants that turn to the right in
the northern hemisphere reverse this
trend in the southern hemisphere. and
therefore, for the sake of consistency,
it may be preferable to describe the
two kinds Of spiral tendency as re-
spectively "clockwise" and Counter
clockwise," which latter can be short
ened to "counterwise. The honey
suckle and the hop turn "clockwise," I"
while the convolyulus and the scarlet
runner bean twine "counterwise." Ex-
periments made by growing scarlet run
ner beans in opaque cylinders, to dis
cover whether the deviation Of the
twist was innate or merely from the
direction OF the light, disclosed the
fact that the plant possesses an inclina-
ton resembling the instinct of animals,
of proceeding in a given direction, and
resents any attempt to force 1t other
wise.

one: When a young maiden died they
imprisoned a young bird until 1t first

sages, they loosed its bonds over her
grave in the belief that it would not
fold its wings nor close its eyes until it
had flown TO the spirit land and deliv-
cred its precious burden Of affection to
the loved and lost one.
