PLANTS KILL EACH OTHER.
Vigorous fl row tlm Sometimes Destroy
C t her Vegetable Life.
Tho principle of competition is 60
active and so vigorous In the vegeta
ble world that it keeps up a sort of
domostic warfare among plants. The
struggle to get on in the,world is les9
noticeable in our latitude than it is in
the tropics. Where the possibilities
of reaching tho most gigantic size are
the greatest, thero the individual
plant struggles most eagerly to get
into tho foremost pi 'ice. Plants are
much like ourselves. As an instance
of how one tree willtake advantage
of another, may be mentioned the
conduct of what is called the parasitic
fig. The seed of this plant is dis
tributed by birds. Suppose one of
those seeds happens to lodge in the
fork of a fruit treo. It germinates as
well there as it would on the ground.
The young plant sends a long root
down until it reaches tho soil. Then
it grows vigorously, and its first de
velopment is toward spreading itself
all over the fruit tree, until it has
smothered and killed it The foster
child steps completely into the shoes
of its foster-parent Quite a fierce
Btrugglo, though a more open one, is
maintained among members of the
same family. The is reported in Na
turo'of a species of heracleum which
wa9 allowed. to seed freely. On June
1, 1880, there were 573 seedlings. On
August 19 following only 105 of them
remained. The missing ones had
beeu pushed to the wall by the more
vigorous survivors.
. A more striking instance still of
fierce and fatal competition is found
in tho case of tho Brazil nut inas
much as here the conflict goes on
nmongthoso that are of the same age.
, Thl3 fruit contains from fifteen to
p twenty-four seeds, which, all ger
minate at one time. The most
vigorous one gets first through a small
hole at the top to the open air and
thereupon it struggles and feeds upon
tho rest
All the reflections of modern scien
tific teaching, whenever these e :
am pies are touched upon, are made
with regard to the remorselessness of
nature;, to the care for self and the
absolute disregard for othera The
one observation is that "in all cases
tho weakest goes to the wall." "This
is looking upon plant lifo as we often
look upon our own lives. May it not
be that plants are moro like ourselves
than the common view of the history
admits and that wo may look upon
their fate with. the more humanizing
Bcntlment, "Whom tho gods love die
young."
