RESEARCH IN BOTANY.
Some of the Work Being Carried
on Here.
The botanical laboratory is not wci-
out its original investigators. Ever
since college opened in the fail series
of experiments and investigations have
been carried on steadily and now each
of the researches has his or her work
well under way.
The unicellular forms are being ex-
perimented with by Miss Snow who
is filling the vacancy caused by the
illness of Miss Langdon of the corps
of instructors in the hotaleialabora-
tory. Miss Snow studied last year
tnder Prof. Klebs in Basel, Switzer-
land, where she also carried on some
original research along the lines that
she is now following. The onicelluiar.
fortes are to be described according
to their development. Upon investi-
gation some prove to be phases in the
higher forms of plant life while others
are constant it their unicelled sate.
The Object of Miss Snow's investiga-
tion is to fitd the conditiotstutnte
wlhich the higher forms exist in thi
unicellular state anti in the same cote-
nection to study the various effects
of nourishment, tenperature and light
on these organs in their appearance
and increase.
The past work along these lines has
not been accurate because the mater-
ial experimented with has been noe
or 'less impure. But in te present
work cultivation has been carried on
with absolutely pure materia. Al-
ready many isolated 'forms have been
reached upon but their full develop-
ment has not been traced.
The Investigation of these forms has
been carried on very little in ihe pautt
and at present, so far as is known,
Miss Snow is the only person in the
United States making any such itves-
tigation. In fact, before Prof. lebs
took up the work the unicellular forms
had no place in plant organization.
The equipment in the Michigan lalbor-
atory for this work, Miss Suow has
found to be better than that lit Europe
The library here is also very com-
plete in this line.
Mr. Timber'lake, who began his re-
search under Prof. Harper at Lake
Forest University last year, is study-
ing the structure of the cell plate. At
present he is at work upon a problemi
in Karyokinesis or i other words the
series of changes gone through by the
nucleus in its indirect cel-divisiot.
This problem is but partly finished
and so no results are as yet fortheow-
