as it moves it turns round its longer axis invariably from east to

 if it were a little magnet actuated by currents of electricity proceed- 

 ing from our kosmic system. 



The critical hour of 8h. to ph. appears in a number of pheno- 

 mena connected with the sun, for which we are still searching for an 

 explanation. It is suggested that those botanists who can do so 

 should specially examine the distribution of chlorophyll-granules on 

 cell-walls from sunrise up to ph. Should the result confirm the 

 hypothesis which has been advanced to try and correlate the curious 

 facts which have been described, we may hopefully look forward to 

 a day when a direct connection will be proved, not only between the 

 sun's energy, magnetic phenomena, and the running of sap, but 

 between the sun's vibratory rays and even gravity itself.
