FLOWERS FEEL AND MOVE
! SENSITIVE TO LIGHT AND HEAT
AND RELAX IN SLEEP.
Clover Blossoms and California
Poppies Close Up When the
Sun Goes Down.

From Country Life in America.
There is no doubt in the minds of botan-
lists now as to the truth of the theory that
plants are sensitive to light and heat and
other external stimuli and that their
responses to these sense Impressions
are comparable to the muscular contrac-
lions seen in the lower animal forms.
The old fashioned sensitive plant that
willis at touch was the wonder of our
childhood. We may never have noticed
the droop that comes over the locusts
foliage as night. comes on, but this trait,
noticeable in the pod bearers, is by no
means confined to them.
The familiar red and white clover are
two plants that show their. leaves sensi-
tive to the light. People who have seen
the golden California poppies covering
yellow in the middle of the day must have
noticed how the color diminished with
the falling light. A closer look shows the
flowers drawn up like buds into a pointed
cone form by the overlapping of the
petals. 1t is the attitude of sleep. The
leaves also are relaxed, their faces turned
down. The day posture Is active, the
night posture passive.
Daisy Sleeps.
The starry English daisy is one of many
flower species which close in damp wealth
CT ana Wnen night comes on.
Heliotrope is an old favorite in gardens.
Its name has an interesting origin. Find
it in the dictionary, and see If it is earned
by the, plants behavior as you find 1t
blooming in the garden bed or as a ported
plant
The most amazing examples Of plant
movement that resembles intelligent &C
tivity is seen in the Venus flytrap. whose
leaves are called upon to help the roots
in securing food for the plant. The leaf
blade is divided into two parts-a long
basal portion, which does the ordinary
trimmed with spines. which is specialized
for the capture Of flies and other in
sects
The two sides of the trap face each
other like the opposite pages of an open
book. The midrib is the hinge of the
trap Three spineS are set aslant near
the middle of each half, and these are
hinged to the green pad so as ito change
their angle when the trap goes shut.
Operation Of the Trap.
Touch the face Of the open trap or one
drop a grain of sand on it and the trap
closes but it opens almost at once. as
if it realized the mistake. Let fly
brush the stiff pines and the trap shuts,
impaling the insect on them and fencing
it in by the overlapping of the spines on
the rims.
The fly has room at first to struggle,
but as the acid digestive fluids are poured
out upon the victim the walls of the trap
draw in and the nutritious substances
Of the body become digested and then
absorbed into the walls Of the trap and
thence into the whole plant. Now the
trap opens and the remnants Of the vic
TINS body are discarded It usually
takes a week or two for a leaf to dispose
of an insect.
These plants grow in Doggy ground
from Virginia southwark. Specimens
grown in greenhouses are usually dam
aged by being "overworked"- with
bits OF meat, which prove too strong food
for the plant.

WIDOW SUES FOR $4,000.
Says Minnesota Trio Fooled Her az to
Status of Mine.

+
Duluth, Jan. declaring that Will
son G. Crosby, John M. McClintock and
Edward Barnes obtained possession of
the Clark mine illegally. Mary L. Rog-
ers. widow of J. M. Rogers, has filed
suit asking $2S0,000 from each of the
three owners, with interest from May.
1903, together with costs and disburse-
ments of the action. The mine is now
owned by the Clark Mining company.
1t is at Chisholm, and is worth several
million dollars.
1t is asserted that James NJ. Rogers
took the land under United States
land grant in 1880. When he died in
1895 his wife knew Of the land, but in
a vague sort of a way.
Soon after the death of Rogers the
family moved to Tamaha, Okla 1t
was here that John McClintocll called
on the widow some years later, and,
according to her version of the matter.
represented himself to be a land agent
from Tennessee. He asked If she were
the widow Of James NJ. Rogers, and
then told her that the land which she
considered hers had long since gone
back to the state for back taxes.
She says she lived in an out of the
way place. remote from all the rail-
roads, where 1t was impossible to get
legal advice. that she knew nothing of
business affairs, and took for granted
that what he told her was true. He
then induced her to sign her rights
away, it is asserted, for a small con-
sideration,
