As the animal is nearer to us than

ology, but not yet of plant psychology.
When a plant growing in a darkened
room leans toward the light the lean

chanical process. The effect of the
light upon the cells Of the plant brings
it about in a purely mechanical way,

1t is thought by some that the roots Of
water-loving plant divine the water
from afar and run toward it. The
truth IL the plant or tree sends its roots
in all directions, but those on the side
Of water find the ground moister in
that direction and their growth is ac-
tolerated, while the others are checked
by the dryness of the soil. An ash
tree stands on a rocky slope where the
soil is thin and poor twenty or twenty
five feet from my garden. After while
it sent so many roots down into the
garden and so robbed the garden vege-
tables OF the fertilizers that we cut
the roots off and dug trench to keep
the tree from sending more. Nc V, the
gardener thought the tree OWNED the
rich pasturage down below there and
reached for it accordingly. The truth
is. l suppose. that the roots on that
side found little more and better soil
and so pushed on until they reached
the garden, where they were at once so
well fed that they multiplied and ex-
tended themselves rapidly. The tree
waxed strong and every season sent
more and stronger roots into the gar
