T HE researches and specula-
tons of the Hindoo botanist,
u Sir J. c. Bose, on the nature
Of the life of plants. as compared
with that of animals, are very in
teresting through the strange
thoughts that they suggest to the
reader. Lately. he has been ex-
perimenting on the curious phe-
nomenon Of "palpitations" OF the
cells in trees, which resemble the
beating of the heart in animals.
He has invented delicate appa-
ratus which mechanically records
the palpitations, and he supposes
that this phenomenon may be as
ISOLATED with the ascent of sap
to elevations too great to be ac-
counted for by capillary attrac-
ton.
His present researches are in
extension Of those whose results
were received with both surprise
and skepticism some years ago.
He then showed that a plant re.
spends to sudden disturbances and
shocks, and to the effects Of
poisons, in a manner strikingly
like that observed in animals
under similar circumstances.
When the vitality Of a plant
suffers a violent shock the in
dividual sometimes appears to
fall into a faint. Something ANAL
ogous to a nervous system seems
to give the plant a sensitiveness
resembling that usually assumed
to be possessed only by the ami
NAL organism.
1t is no new discovery that
vegetative and animal life ap-
proach so closely to each other
in their simplest and most primi-
tive forms that no positive marks
Of difference can be detected.
They seem to have started from q
single life root, but to have be-
come differentiated while follow.
ing each it's own line Of evolution.
And in their specialized and more
complicated forms they diverge so
widely that 1t once seemed quite
natural to regard them as repre-
senting essentially different king
dons Of life.

; means of investigation, one would
never conceive the least inkling
Of the idea that such diametrical
Yet that idea is not difficult to

perhaps, the most splendid prod
uct of Racon's system of scientific
investigation.
No one who has studied the
evidence accumulated in later
times can refuse for a moment
to accept Professor Leclerc's
statement that: 1.-THE two king
doms, animal and vegetable,
though distinct in their upper
more advanced specialized parts,
unite at their base, where 1t is
impossible to establish any but an
arbitrary line Of demarkation
between them.
The trouble of the separatists
becomes unbearable when they
go back to the forms Of life
which are summed up in single
cells, and 1t has been proposed
to escape from the predicament
by inventing a third life king
dom, that Of the "Protists," to
include all organisms formed Of
a single cell. But this is only
forcing another noun into the
already uncomfortable pages OF
the dictionaries of science.
Besides, it now appears from
such researches as those Of Bose,
that It is unnecessary to go back
to the most primitive forms Of
life in order to find an essential
resemblance between animals and
plants. 1.-THE more the physiology
of the plants is studied the less
pronounced become the differences
which would seem to set the life
of these creatures in opposition to
that Of the animals"
In ancient thought, whether
philosophical or religious, we often
find surprising forecasts Of mod.
ern scientific ideas, and something
Of that kind may be seen in the
old legends and traditions which
ascribed a semiconscious life to
trees and other forms Of vegeta-
ton.
