With respect to the abortion of tendrils, certain cultivated varieties of Cucurbita pepo have, according to Naudin, either quite lost these organs or bear semi-monstrous representatives of them. In my limited experience, I have met with only one apparent instance of their natural suppression, namely, in the common bean.
Here, then, is a source of replenishment as lasting as the sun itself, and a ground so far as a supply of force is concerned for indefinite duration. Perhaps, however, M. Naudin does not mean that "evolutive force," or the force of vitality, is really homologous with common physical force, but only something which may be likened to it.
During the night which followed the second visit of Doctor Naudin, Jeanne Marie Simon had a long and earnest conversation with her husband. The first words which the wife uttered, spoken in a whisper though they were, excited the cobbler so much that he threatened her with his clinched fist.
M. Naudin states, that a certain kind of furze or thistle, of which cattle are very fond, may be made to grow without thorns an important consideration, seeing that at present, before it can be used as food, it has to undergo a laborious beating, to crush and break the prickles with which it is covered.
Many similar cases of analogous variation have been observed by Naudin in the great gourd family, and by various authors in our cereals. Similar cases occurring with insects under natural conditions have lately been discussed with much ability by Mr. Walsh, who has grouped them under his law of equable variability.
On the supposition of its being only a variety, he observes, "The case is the most remarkable ever recorded of the abrupt appearance of a new form, which so closely resembles a true species, that it has deceived one of the most experienced of living ornithologists." As to plants, M. C. Naudin has given the following instances of the sudden origination of apparently permanent forms.
But let us speak softly, softly, together; for what we have to say to each other the deaf walls themselves ought not to hear." Simon had not returned from the platform with the boy, when Doctor Naudin ended his long and earnest conversation, and prepared to leave his patient, who was now quietly lying in her bed. "You know every thing now that you have to do," he said, extending his hand to her.
The cause of these movements is believed to lie in changes of tension preceding growth in the tissues of the stem. Every stem is in a state of constant tension. Naudin has thus expressed it, "the interior of every stem is too large for its Jacket." If a leaf-stalk of Nasturtium be slit vertically for an inch or two, the two halves will spring back abruptly.
"Now, I thank God that He released my sister from the pain of seeing her dear child in this condition. "Doctor Naudin," said Toulan, solemnly, "is it your fixed conviction that this sick person will never recover?" "My firm and undoubted conviction, which every physician who should see him would share with me."
Boulet, at Bapeaume-les-Rouen, when a fire in December, 1881, completely destroyed that establishment. In reconstructing his apparatus, Mr. Naudin has availed himself of the experience already acquired, and has necessarily had to introduce important modifications and simplifications into the process.
