Do BEHAVIOR WHICH SEEMS TO TO THAT CONCLUSION, POINT “Venus’s Fly Trap” and Its Hapless Prey--The Mimosa's Leaves Close at the Sound of a Horse's Foot. HE curious behavior of some plants can scarcely be ex- plained under any other sup- Go position than that their ac- tions are due to some connection be- twosn senwation and conseanent me-! tion that seems to be closely related to the movements of animals. We touch the skin of a person and the person shrinks instantly; a similar touch eanses 8 worm to shrink, and the same effect precisely happens when some plants are touched. The common sundew, commonly known as “Venus's fly trap,” is one of the most curious of the sensitive plants. Its leaves are thick and fleshy, and are covered with spines. The leaves are arranged in pairs like those of a book, and exude a viscous matter, by which flies are attracted. once close down upon it and the leaves fold together, inclosing the prey, an it is said by some observers that the . ’ . | hapless insect is digested by an serid | liquid that then exudes, and is ab- sorbed as nutriment, much as the toad, silently and stealthily hiding in | the grass, perceives a fly alight ona blade, and darts toward it, and with its sticky tongue draws its prey into its eapacious jaws; or more like the lazy ant eater, which lies prone on the anthill and projects its viscous tongue on the ground, and when it is covered | with ants, suddenly withdraws it into its mouth and swallows the insects, The sundew opens its leaves when the fly is disposed of, and awaits an- other victim. If you drop a shred of raw meat on the leaf the same formance is repeated, and if the leaf is touched by a straw, the leaves shut upon it, but, as if in disgust at the de- ception, open again immediately. The Western prairies are covered in places with s beautifully feathered leaved plant, a species of mimosa. This is commonly known as the sensitive | You stoop and draw the hand ! plant. gently across one of the low bunches of these plants. Instantly the deli- cate pinnate leaves shrink and fold to- | gether, and remain folded as long as the intruder stays. But when he soft- ly retires to a short distance the leaves begin to unfold and spread out to the sunshine. Some varieties of ths mi- mosa in Brazil are still more sensitive, elosing their leaves when the sound of a horse's foot is heard, and shrink still more the ground is jarred by the tread of the animal near it. One of these species, Mimosa sensi. tiva, is so curiously organized that it js rendered insensible by exposure to chlorof It then to until the effects of the anmsthetic are worn off by evaporation closely when yn RON sleep The sly opposam and the wily fox lie low and simulate death, when cornered by an enemy and escape appears hope less : the human eriminal hides from his pursuer. between these similar actions of these plants snd animals, sod, if so, are they | pot due to the same cause? The at tempt at deception is the same; it has a purpose, and is the result of a caleu- lation of chances, and it certainly seems ns if it were the result of a pro cess of thought. Many other plants possess this acute sensitiveness. We see the pig picking up straws in its mouth and carrying them about to find a place for a bed, and we say, as the reenlt of observation and experience: ‘‘Itisgoing to rain.” The cats make their discordant eom- plaints to the midnight moon, the wolves howl, whine, the and feel the papilie of the skin shrizk and our hair ro s and a curious ner- vous nt makes us feel “all the barometer is falling the rain comes. dogs Crows at sundown, we exeteme over” when an 1 before Po tae HAL iia HE Pre re o- ay and it shuts its The spurry closes its petals, and a scientific obser ver says a field that was white with blossoms has suddenly become quite changed by the mere passing over it of a black thunder clond and the fall- ing of a fow drops of rain. The com- mon chickweed opens its blossoms only when the sun is shining, and, like the dial, counts only the bright hours When ite little blossoms elds, rain in- variably falls within a few hours. Rural dwellers take note of this, and are likely to say: ‘‘Hurry, we can get back before it rains, for the chick weeds are open yet.” leaves, The sea purslane has the same habit. It never opens in cloudy weather and closes when the sun is low in the after- noon. The scarlet pimperhel of the gardens, called the ‘shepherd's barom- eter,” never exposes its pretty scarlet flowers to a shower. The old herbalist says of it: ‘It foretelleth what weather will be the next day, and if the flowers be shut it betokens foul weather.” And one of the naturalists of an Arctic expedition noticed that although the summer sun shone through the night the plants made no mistake, but when the sun got round to the west they droopsd their leaves and closed their flowers as if the sun had really set. An eclipoo of the sun has had the same effect, and not onl this plant, but several others whieh the same instinet, as the con- volyulug, shut up their petals as soon as the sun was fully obeeured, and opened when the shadow had passed. The common our o'clock invariably closes its bell-shaped flowers at the hour named, and so many plants have os similar instinet that tho gre bot suist, L nnwas, made a clock of flowering plants, each of which had certain time for ite flowers.
