The great Frankish physician the learned Hakim travelling through the country to perform his cures." "Yes," cried Frank; "and performing them too." "To be sure," said the professor, growing excited. "The news of his cures would spread through the land, and the people would welcome him, and he could go anywhere. Here, I say, Bob, this plant's coming up."
Just in the same way, we shall see in the case of seeds that any method of dispersion will serve the plant's purpose equally well, provided only it succeeds in carrying a few of the young seedlings to a proper place in which they may start fair at last in the struggle for existence.
The flower itself is the creature which the spirit makes; only, in connection with its perfectness is placed the giving birth to its successor. The main fact then, about a flower is that it is part of the plant's form developed at the moment of its intensest life; and this inner rapture is usually marked externally for us by the flush of one or more of the primary colors.
On the contrary, I think it quite a defensible proposition that humility is better shown by a confession of incompetence to grasp in thought the Cause of all things; and that the religious sentiment may find its highest sphere in the belief that the Ultimate Power is no more representable in terms of human consciousness than human consciousness is representable in terms of a plant's functions.
Any one passing down the narrow hallway could have seen him bent over a mass of papers on the table, his portable typewriter close at hand. The following morning, armed with a little hand satchel, he tramped down to Henry Plant's house. The Supervisor met him on the verandah. "Right on deck!" he roared jovially. "Come in! All ready for the doctor!" Thorne did not respond to this jocosity.
Nor, indeed, need the process of simplification of vegetable food be carried so far as this, in order to arrive at the limit of the plant's thaumaturgy. Let water, carbonic acid, and all the other needful constituents be supplied except nitrogenous salts, and an ordinary plant will still be unable to manufacture protoplasm.
Also we must ourselves ascertain just what colour of mineral there is over there." "That ought to be on the records somewhere already," Amy pointed out. "Plant's records," said Thorne drily. "I'm ashamed to say I haven't looked up the mineral lands act," confessed Bob. "How did they do it?" "Well, it's simple enough.
It was sort o' blue, with a kind o' whitey, foggy look all over the blue, and it wa'n't round like huckleberries and cramb'ries, but longish, and a little p'inted to each end. And the stem it growed on, the little bit of a stem, you know, comin' out o' the plant's big stem, like a little neck to the berry, was pinky and real pretty.
To give back to life, with all speed, the remains of that which has lived, it macerates and condenses corpses, distilling them into an essence wherewith the earth, the plant's foster mother, may be nourished and enriched. Here the costume changes, not the manner of life. We find the same frequenting of dead bodies, the same capacity for the speedy liquefaction of the fleshy matter.
If an occasional cross be indispensable, notwithstanding that the plant's own anthers and pistil stand so near each other as almost to ensure self-fertilisation, the fullest freedom for the entrance of pollen from another individual will explain the above state of exposure of the organs.
