PLANT FEELING
By Garrett P. Serviss

of his innocent prey with . bow
light.
Have Sense Of Feeling
Sir Chunder Bose, who has
been studying plants in that sym.
pathetic spirit which alone can
disclose secrets. has convinced
himself that they have a kind of
dim consciousness which relates
them to the higher world Of life
around them. Vegetation was
probably the first form assumed
by terrestrial life, but the rival
class, to which we belong, has
oltstrippeds It in development.
There is a tinge of compassion
mingled with the thought Of the
Indian scientist when he affirms
that plants possess the simula-
Drum Of a nervous. and OF a
circuIatory, system, and that
they are capable of experiencing
sensations, and even. to a GER
tain degree, sentiments. We
might say that they list their
chance In the race Of life; they
stumbled, or they took the wrong
turn. They missed the indispen-
sable power OF free locomotion,
and with a few exceptions be.
came fixtures. as did the animal
crinoids.
Thrilling and Pathetic
There was something both
thrilling and pathetic for the i'm
questionable observer in watch
ing Sir Chunder Bosses demonstra-
ton at oxford of the sensibility
of certain plants to poisons such
as similarly affect us. They
dropped at the touch Of bromide
dissolved in water, and their
"heart beats" faded, but revived
and strengthened again under the
stimulus of an extract of musk.
They showed themselves similar.
ly sensitive to the poisonous In
fluence of strychnine and Of cobra
venom.
Who after all that could cut a
branch from a tree, or break
rose from it's stem, with quite
the same indifference as when he
had never dreamed that the tree
or the bush could "feel?" But
has not some instructive sense OF
the brotherhood Of all life slept
in us from time immemorial?
Have not poets and philosophers
been half conscious of it, and
given tentative expression to 1t?
Perhaps science is here only be-
ginning to bring an old implanted
wisdom out into the palmer form
of tested knowledge. You re-

PARAMARIBO
CUSTOMS

TN Paramaribo, the capital Of
4 Dutch Guiana, and the sur
rounding neighborhood, are .
/. large number Of negroes who
closely resemble the African saw
age. Although they are not saw
ages. they are the direct descen-
dants of runaway African slaves
who have reverted to type. In
1712-1713 they escaped from their
masters, joining the border raid
ers. and after years Of fighting,
formed settlements OF their own.
Their descendants still live as
their ancestors In far-off Africa
lived. Except for q loin cloth,
they are linclothed. They live In
palm-leaf huts, and are, as far as
can be ascertained, living In the
same state az they were some
200 years ago.
The women wear q strip Of cot
ton reaching nearly to the knees,
and nothing else. Some OF them,
however. wear q little apron, ana,
also, nothing else. The young
girls wear garter-lilke bands OF
cotton around each knee and
ankle. This fashion they get from
the aboriginal Indians.
From early childhood the par
ents Of the children cut great
wounds in the infants. In these
wounds they put mounds OF earth
to prevent healing. The result OF
this Is truly terrific design OF
scars all over the body Of the
victim. When he grows up this Is
considered a sign of beauty, and
the more intricate the design, the
more attractive. the owner.
Each village has a Gado Hoeso
(god house,. These are shelters
under which are bottles and jugs
that are supposed to hold nnys-
terious charms to ward the evil
spirits away from the village.
Near the shelter Ia a platform on
which is a pole from where q
piece Of red cotton flies. Under
this flag stands, in state, a bottle
which is supposed to hold the su-
preme charm.
The people are very Supersti-
tious, and they believe that there
are many spirits inhabiting all
sorts of things. Most Of these
spirits are supposed to be maley-
client and they have many strange
rites to propitiate them. How
ever, in spite of their savageneSs
and strange belief, these negroes
are comparatively peaceful and
cause little trouble.

COME men are worse tattle-
- tales than little girls and
boys.
Often they tell funny stories
about their friends but those
hearing them do not listen with
the same viewpoint.
Some men take delight in re-
counting to their wives what
other men do in the company OF
friends.
Often this Is repeated by one
woman to another till the EN-.
