HAVE PLANTS INTELLIGENCE?
Professor Darwin to Expound His
Novel Theory.

LONDON, Aug. 7.-Preparations are
being made by the British Society for
the Advancement of Science for the
greatest meeting in it's history next
month, when scientists from all over
the world will be present The occa-
sion will mark the jubilee or semi
centennial anniversary of the an
nouncement of Charles Darwin. son of
the great naturalist and himself a man
of renOwn in scientific circles, will
preside at the session
Professor Darwin will reiterate in
his inaugural address the contention
that plants are endowed with intelli-
gence, for which he was criticised by
co-scientists years ago. Darwin il
Illustrates his theory chiefly by climbing
plants and the response of plants to
the influence of light, deducing there
from that plants have memory and so
develop habits. He will particularly
describe the hop ard bryony plants,
showing that their intelligence and
memory are hardly less than those of
the lowest animals.

Ideal beauty ever blest.'
And such as poet saint may see:
The Babe asleep on Mary's breast
And Mary?-Ah, awake is she!
And fix'd in contemplation blest
Her rapt eyes on the features reSt
OF God asleep upon her breast!
Secure He lies in sweet repose,
A dewdrop sleeping on a flower,
A pansy pillowed on rose.
A violet in virgin bower,
Immortal now mortal's dover,
Asleep each sense, and for the hour
Omnipotence in Marys power!
0 picture soothing human heart,
Still may / gaze and gaze on thee,
Ideal of the painters art,
Till throbs my heart as throbs the
And in my soul this truth finds rest
How much He loved that Mother
