The Mystery of This Wonderful Fcres

When plants are grown in recepta-
Giles fastened to the rim of a rapidly
revolving wheel, the shoots and leaves
grow toward the center and the roofs
away from the center of revolution.
This is remarkable as showing the in
fuence of centrifugal motion upon
growth
But the earth, any point In whose
surface at the equator passes through
fifteen miles in one minute, has a cen
trifugal motion so swift and SO great
that it is almost inconceivable. Why,
then. reasoning on the basis of this
wheel experiment. do not trees and
plants grow in the directions they are
urged by this centrifugal force name
ly, with leaves and boughs toward the
earth's center and roots pointing to the
sky?
The answer is because there is q
force called grayita.ion which over
powers the enormous centrifugal force
and practically reverses it. Whethc,
