in an animal is done by single

on by minute cells. each of which
expands and contracts with a throb-
bing action, continually drawing up
water from below and expelling it
upward to. the next cell. The active

The cut end of the stem was next

place at the rate of sixty feet per

The ascent must, therefore. be due to
