Mineral oils vary very much II their

watching L.fe Of Plants.

( From fuller information, now at
hand in regard TO the machine by aid
OF which the Indian scientist, Sir j.
G. Bose, has been making visible IN
London the ingrowth of plants, shows
that he does much more than make
visible what everybody already knew
that plants increase in size. He also
has revealed that the growth OF q
plant is by NO means steady oNeon-
tinuous- that it is affected By many OF
the influences besides mere nutriment
that affect the growth OF animals. In
short, this machine, which is called a
crescograph and magnifes movement
million times, proves that plants are
much more alive than it is customary
to credit them with being, and it is not
an altogether faneiful notion that
when the facts in relation to plant
life become better known, something
of consideration for their feelings
and something of eompunction about
treating them cruelty may develop.
