imTuncl In Plants:*
Climbing plants have two opposing
methods of describing spiral growth.
The plants that turn to the right in
the northern hemisphere reverse this
trend in the southern hemisphere, and
therefore, for the sake of consistency,
it may be preferable to describe the
two kinds of spiral tendency as re
spectively “clockwise” and “counter
clockwise,” which latter can be short
ened to “counterwlse.” The honey
suckle and the. hop turn “clockwise,”
while the convolvulus and the scarlet
runner bean twine “counterwise.” Ex
periments made by growing scarlet run
ner beans In opaque cylinders, to dis
cover whether the deviation of the
twist was Innate or merely from the
direction of the light, disclosed the
fact that the plant possesses an inclina
tion resembling the instinct of animals,
of proceeding in a given direction, and
resents any attempt to force it other
wise.
Swedenborg In Ruffles and Wig.
Swedenborg was a great deal in Lon
don, where he was known and admired
and had several good friends, but his
small knowledge of English and the
impediment in his speech precluded
him from any real Intimacy. His slight
figure, with Its fine features and hazel
eyes, was well known In the neighbor
hood of Coldbath fields, where he lodg
ed, and he was often seen stopping to
talk to the children, for whom he used
to carry sweetmeats. He was always
dressed In an old fashioned suit with
lace ruffles and wore a full bottomed
wig, carrying a sword and a gold head
ed cane. On Christinas eve, 1771, he
had a stroke of apoplexy, and on
March 29, 1772, the day he had fore
told, he died at the house which he had
himself named.—Occult Review.
