George Washington Crile, Cleveland bio-electrician (author: A Bipolar Theory of Living Processes), has further united the two by emphasizing the irritability of plant life, its similarity to the nervous system of the animal...

...scientists had already learned that by using other gases they could get other colors-argon & mercury vapor for blue, the same combination in a yellow tube for green, carbon dioxide for white. The gases are confined in the tubes at low pressures (5 to 10 millimetres, compared to 760 millimetres in the sea-level atmosphere). The gases are made to glow by an alternating electric current flowing through them. Because of the penetrating quality of the infra-red rays given off, neon lamps are used as fog beacons, airfield lights...
