		However his theories met with stiff resistance from physiologists who feared that his new theories would upset the old ones and persuaded the Royal Society to not publish his papers on the subject.
		Another of Bose's amazing achievements was his invention of the 'crescograph'.

		Canny experimentally demonstrated the sort of pumping in the living cells in the junction of the endodermis, which JC Bose demonstrated 60 years earlier.
		His research in plant stimuli were pioneering, he showed with the help of his newly invented crescograph that plants responded to various stimuli as if they had nervous systems like that of animals.
		He therefore found a parallelism between animal and plant tissues.

		This led him to explore the effects of drugs on plants, and later, non-organic materials such as metals, which he claimed showed similar effects.
		Much of this was demonstrated through the use of a device he invented called the crescograph, which magnified mechanical movements many times and allowed for the direct study of plant growth.
		Many of his instruments are still on display and remain largely usable now, over 100 years later.

	A versatile genius
		Bose presented a very important paper at the International Congress of Physics held in Paris in 1900, titled "On the Similarity of Responses in Inorganic and Living Matter".
		To prove his point he had devised instruments such as the crescograph to measure the rate of growth of a plant and the death recorder to record the exact moment of death of a plant.
		Thus, from a study of electromagnetic waves, especially its property and practical application, J.C. Bose turned increasingly to the study of plants and what later came to be known as biophysics.

		Individuals endowed with a happy faculty in this respect are said to have 'green fingers' and seem able to evoke a response from their plants.
		In the 1920s a Hindu scientist, Jagdish Chandra Bose, studied the reactions of plants to various stimuli by means of the crescograph, an instrument he invented for the purpose.
		He proved that plants have a sensitive 'nervous' system and an emotional life, and that they feel pleasure and pain, thus establishing on scientific lines a belief held in India for many centuries.

		The discovery of these instruments permitted Bose to draw similarities between plant and animal tissue.
		In addition to this, Bose invented an instrument known as a crescograph which was capable of recording plant growth.
		Although two of Bose's most noted works involved plant research, Response in the Living and Non-Living (1902) and The Nervous Mechanism of Plants (1926), Bose's research did not centre wholly around plants.

		The inventor of the crescograph was Sir Jagadis Chandra Bose (1858-1937), relation to our Chandra or the maker of the speakers unknown.
		The crescograph amplified plant movements as much as 10,000,000 times using, I believe, tiny mirrors and cleverly angled light.

		He was very skilled in electricity so he invented his own instruments and did indeed prove that plants were living beings.
		The most amazing instrument he invented was the crescograph, used to measure the rate of growth of a plant.
		It was very sensitive and could measure plant growth that was 20 000 times less than a snail's speed!

		If a snail's crawl were enlarged in the same proportion, the creature would appear to be traveling like an express train!" My gaze was fixed eagerly on the screen which reflected the magnified fern-shadow.

		It was during work on his metallic coherer, Bose noticed that after prolonged use, his coherer became less sensitive, but after a period of non-use it somehow rejuvenated itself.
		Bose commenced experiments into metal fatigue and eventually developed a device which he called a crescograph.
		This device was as brilliant in its use as it was in its overall simplicity.

		Still, vegetarians can easily live on those foods which do not require the killing, or even harming, of the plants.

		As for Jagadis Chandra Bose (1858 – 1937) – what an amazing man, whose botanical investigations and creations put India on the scientific map of the world.
		He’s perhaps best known for inventing the ‘crescograph’, an instrument that can measure the growth of plants - which is on average 20,000 slower than the speed of a snail heading downtown!
		These two inspiring figures join Thomas Edison and Galileo Galilei in our hall of fame – and there will be others along soon, so ‘bookmark this page!’ as they say.
