SLUMBERING PLANTS.—IL 18 well known that plants sleep at night, but their hours of sleeping are a matter of habit, and may be disturbed artificially, just as a cock may be waked up to crow at untimely hours by the light of a lantern. A French chemist subjected a ensitive plant to an exceedingly try- ing course of discipline, by completely changing its hours—exposing it to a bright hight at night, so as to prevent sleep, and putting it in a dark room during the day. The plant appeared to be much puzzled at a, It opened and closed its leaves irregularly, some- times nodding, in spite of the artificial sun that shed its beaws at midnight, and sometimes waking up, from the force of habit, to find the chamber dark in spite of the time of day. Such are the trammels of use. Dut after an obvious struggle (he plant sub- mitted to the change, and turned day into night without any apparent ill- effects.
