That plants respire is of course a well known fact. Recently, however, some rather curious experiments have been conducted by Herr Stieh upon a large number of plants, in order to ascertain the effect of injury (from mere scratches to complete cutting up) on their respiration. Ho noticed in every case that there was an increased separation of carbonic acid gas when the plants thus had their tissues damaged. As might have been expected, various plants and their various parts behavod differently with regard to tho extent and duration of this increased secretion of carbonic, acid. Further details may be found in a paper by Stioli, published in Bisdenaami's Centralblabfc.
