FRANCE, R. H. Germs of Mind in Plants. 



Translated by A. M. Simons. Cloth, illus- 

 trated, 50 cents. 



A cardinal point in the philosophical systems 

 favored by the ruling classes is that the mind of 

 man is something unique in the universe, gov-

 connection with physical laws. Modern science 

 has proved that not only animals, but also plants, 

 receive impressions from the outside world and 

 use the data thus obtained to modify their move-

 beings do. These facts are told in this book in 

 so charming and entertaining a style that the 

 reader is carried along and does not realize until 

 later the revolutionary significance of the facts. 



MEYER, DR. M. Wilhelm. The End of the

 making clear the relations of man's life to the 

 universe life. We have already seen that "mind" 

 is but another form of "life." Dr. Meyer shows 

 that not only animals and plants but even worlds 

 and suns have their birth, growth, maturity, 

 reproduction, decay and death, and that death is 

 but the preparation for a new cycle of life.
