for Automatic Tracing of Plant Movements' before the New York Academy of

Sciences, and, in December 1908, he gave an address on 'Mechanical and

Electrical Response in Plants,' at the Annual Meeting of the American

Association for the Advancement of Science, held at Baltimore, and, in

January 1909, he delivered a lecture on 'Growth Response of Plants'

before the United States Department of Agriculture and, in February

1909, he read a paper on 'Death-spasm in Plants,' before the University

of Illinois, and, in March 1909, a paper on 'Multiple and Autonomous

Response in Plants' before the Madison University. He also lectured

before the New York Botanical Society, the Medical Society of Boston,

the Society of Western Electric Engineers at Chicago. He also delivered

a series of post-graduate lectures on Electro-Physics and Plant

Physiology at the Universities of Wisconsin, Chicago, Ann Arbor. He
