THE SLEEP OF PLANTS. The common chicken weed, with white blossoms, affords a no-table instance of what is called the sleep of plants, for everynight, the leaves approach in pairs, so as to include within theirupper surface the tender rudiments of the new shoots, while the up-permost pair but one, at the end of the stalk, are furnished withlonger leaf stalks, than the others, so that they close on the termi-nating pair, and protect the branch.—Literary Chronicle. * Sir Kenelm Digby relates upon his own testimony many surprising in-stances of its wonderful efficacy, as also the celebrated Van Ilehnont and otherswho lived in tire seventeenth century. 509 ILLUSTRATION, No. LXXXI,
