The eyes" of a Growing Plant

Some scientists have come to the
conclusion that plants resembling
mankind. have their sensations. their
feelings, their conscience. and even
understanding. comparable in char
acter to that of man itself. The dis
cussion of this need not be long to
convince anyone that this is not well
ground.
If anyone stands in front OF a
showcase of Photographic apparatus.
and looks at the many cameras which
are displayed. he would never for a
moment imagine that he was looking
at that number of eyes. Yet it is
clear that if the shutters of the ap-
paratus were open, every apparatus
would show upon the ground glass
its own picture. But ii is perfectly
immaterial whether tie picture is
there or not. the apparatus is void
OF energy and feeling. Photographic
apparatus is a dead thing. but plants
live. 1t therefore seems that the
picture which reproduced is COM
parable 10 that on the retina OF the
human eye, but this is absolutely
false.
The human eye has its retina COM
posed of innumerable delicate organs
lrOQS anu coHeSJ INDEPENDENT anu
sensitive to light by which the pic
ture so to say. is brought into a mo-
Seic Then each OF these light
organs. sensitive to light, the rods
and. cones. as they are called, affect
the nerves. carrying their reactions
to the centre organ, so that one
single sensation affects the brain.
The images formed on the plant
eyes mean nothing more to the plant
than the image on the ground glass
of the camera does TO the camera.
The lenses do. however. serve nat
ural necessity which assists the plant
in it's life and reproduction.

Rush Work on
Repaving of Street

Work was rushed ahead on the re-
paving of Water street Sunday when
a part of the crew worked all day.
The section from Beane's corner to
the junction of Brunswick avenue
and Bridge streets was closed to
traffic absolutely. but this was but
temporary and the usual rules will
be in force today. 1t is expected that
traffic will be allowed on Church
street today. so that cars may come
from the Square across onto this
street, and may come down into the
Square. 1t is still impossible to make
the turn at the foot. however, and as
with cars coming down through the
street, it will be necessary to go into
Depot Square to turn around, and
then back in order to get to lower
Water street.
The work is progressing satisfac-
torily. the completed section is being
favorably commented on, as Is the
entire project by the majority of
citizens. While some of the mer-
chants are complaining of the lack of
business. and blame this on the con-
dition Of the streets. it must be real
lied that business conditions will I'M
doubtedly improve greatly with the
completion of the work.
