INSTINCT IN PLANTS.
Actions That Seem to indicate Some
Sort of Nervous System.


Plants sometimes appear to possess
reasoning power Charles Darwin In
stanced the case OF the rootlet, which,
piercing its way through the soil and
detecting a stone or lump of hard clay
in its path, will 20 round it without
touching 1t. How does the rootlet or
plant know that the stone is there?''
he asks Certainly it cannot see 1t
and as it does not touch it cannot feel
it, The avoidance therefore seems to
be in the nature of perception OF some
kind which is IA mental operation"
The species Of mimosa known as the
sensitive plant will contract its leaves
even at the sound Of footstesp. and
when such a plant is being transplant
ed it crumples up during the process in
such a way that it really appears to be
suffering from fear. Afterward it re-
covers and resumes It's ordinary mode
of life
Plants undoubtedly possess con-
sciousness of a kind which enables
them TO carry out certain operations
necessary to their preservation, and
this can only be done through the pos
session of some sort OF nervous sys-
tem.-London Standard.

Coney Island

Now all is Harvest Home season
at Coney Island, for on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday the Island
will be the scene of the twenty
seventh event of this kind. These
will be a gala three days, with
many attractions to make merry
every hour. The vaudeville in the
Airdome this week, IS one OF the
summers S best, the headliner being
one of the foremost-and consider
ed by many the best-cornettist IN
the world. He is Knoll, and his
performances on his instruments
are as remarkable as beautiful.
Other good acts insure a happy
hour afternoon or evening, and
Immediately after this performance
one may see, in the free arena, the
marvellous death-defying double
loop he-loop by man on bicycle
THE Perrl troupe of balancers also
have a great act, and on Saturday
/ there will be a double parachute
leap. In other words, a balloon
Trace, the aeroneauet ascending the
higher winning the prize. Just
one more week at Coney, and the
season will come to an end, closing
on LABOR Day, September lst.
So best make haste to enjoy the
few days that remain for 1913 Oh
the up-r.ver JOY spot. The grea
boats are breeze-swept these no
days, and twenty mile river ride
is most delightful escape from
the torridity of the city.
A picnic under the massive tree
at Coney is an ideal plan during
the Harvest Home week, and every
year is becoming more popular thi
seasonable entertainment. Fo
those who prefer it, the Clul
House offers a delightful mept
faultlessly served and cooked, an'
all over the Island are the joy de
vices which daily make thousand
glad. All Coney Boats leave from
the Broadway warfboat every "

ROBING THE BRIDE.
Early Saxon Customs and $he Advent
of the Flowing Veil

Early Saxon Customs and &he Advent
of the Flowing Veil.
In the old days, as now, the bride
generally dressed In white. From early
Saxon times down TO the eighteenth
century bride of the poorer classes
came to the wedding arrayed in plain
white robe as Il public warning that
since she brought nothing to the mar
riage her husband was not responsible
for her debts.
Brides soon began to add some little
touch Of color. Hlue was for constan-
cy and green for youth. but in some
places these might not be used be-
cause of feuds between families having
these tints in their liveries. Yellow
might not be worn. as 1t stood for
jealousy; golden might not, as it
meant avarlce
The Anglo Saxon bride went to the
wedding with her hair hanging loose
as sign Of freedom. but upon reach
ing her new house Immediately bound
1t up as a sign OF submission. In the
days Of Shakespeare the veil began to
take the place of the flowing tresses,
but this, however, was not original
with the British, for centuries earlier
the Roman and Hebrew brides had
worn yellow vtils, while the early
Christians of southern Europe had en-
veloped both man and wife in one
large cloth
Whatever was lacking, however. In
gorgeousness Of dress was compensat
ed among all the nations by the pro
fusion Of flowers chosen for their sig
nificance. Uncle Remus' Magazine

years before Christ The Athenian 80

that about 443 B. G. Seryius Julius

chaos of the dark ages the census
dropped into oblivion, but was re-
