The plant appeared to be much puzzled and disturbed at first. It opened and closed its leaves irregularly, some times nodding, in spite of the artificial sun that shod its beams at midnight, and sometimes waking up, from the force of habit, to find the chamber dark in spite of the time a day. Such are the trammels of use and want. But after an obvious struggle the plant submitted to the chaDge, aud changed day into night without any apparent ill effects.
