But if the parts of the plant can turn as easily in one direction as another in relation to light, what feature of their growth-mechanism is it which sends stems so unerringly towards it, leaves across it, and roots from it? Here again there is very great doubt as to particulars, but hardly any as to principle, which can thus be illustrated. In a locomotive, as most people understand, there is a certain lever, which when set in one direction determines that the engine shall move forward, and wh...en set in another, that it shall move back- ward, after the steam is turned on; and an engine is easily imagi- nable in which, with the lever in yet a third position, the move- Power to Adjust Parts to Surroundings 231 ment would be sideways. In all cases it is the same engine, the same machinery, the same motive power; the difference consists only in the way a small part of the machinery is set; and the reader will please to observe that this set of the machinery is not the cause of the movement of the engine, but merely determines the direction thereof when the power, which is steam, is applied.
