To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A root of a tree meeting with a ditch in its progress, is laid open to the air; what follows ? It alters its course like a rational being, dips into the ground, surrounds the ditch, rises on the opposite side to its wonted distance from the surface, and then proceeds in its original direction. Lay a wet sponge near a root laid open to the air ; the root will direct its course to the sponge ; change the place of the sponge ; the root varies its direction. Thrust a pole into the ground at a moder...ate distance from a climbing plant ; the plant directs its course to the pole, lays hold of it, and rises on its na- tural height. A honeysuckle proceeds in its course, till it be too long for supporting its weight, and then strengthens itself by shooting into a spiral. If it meet with another plant of the same kind, they coalesce for mutual support ; the one screwing to the right, the other to the left. If a honey- 148 ENDLESS AMUSEMENT. suckle twig meet with a dead branch, it screws from the right to the left.
