BLUE GLASS;
Effects on Animal and Vegeta.
BILE Life.

| Gen. PleasOnton, a. q meeting Of the
Society for the Promotion of Agriculture,
recently read an essay on the use of blue
glass in the Development f vegetable and
animal life, in which he gave the results
of experiments during ten years. He
gave an account Of an experiment of his
own with grapery eigbry-four by twen-
ty-six feet, and sixteen feet in hight at the
ridge. Into the glazing of the grapery, at
every seventh row of white panes, row
of violet panes (bluc not being at the
time procurib had been introduced, al
ternating on opposite sides Of the roof so
that a violet beam might fall eventually
on every leaf in the grapery. The cut
ti1gs planted had grown very rapidly
The gardener was kept busy daily in ty-
ing up se'x wood which the day before
he had not observed In few weeks
:atlerplaniing the walls and the inside of
the roof were closely covered with luxu-
RANT foliage. A distinguished scotsman
had borne his testimony that he had
never seen any vines that equsled those
thus treated. The vines were planted in
April, 1861. In 1852 they bore a wonder
full nmiier of lunches. II was found
that the building, shau as it was, contain
cd TO less than 1000 pounds of grapes.
In 1863 the amount Of fruit was quite as
large as during the preceding year, and
so il has continued season after sedS0n
without abatement, the vines seeming TO
require no time to rest
The next experiment was with'the pig
gerry; glazed roof half white and half
violet, was placed over the building. and
similar results were obtained, the animals
thriving beyond expectation. An Alder
ney calf, so puny and fecble that its life
was despaired off, was placed in a pen I'M
der violet glass. In twenty-four hours a
marked change had occurred. The calf
rose 10 its feet, walked about the pen. :
took its food from the finger, and mani.
Tested great vivacity. In few DAYS its !
feebleness had disappeared; it began to
grow, and its development was marvel :
Gus. If continued General Pleasanton,
"by the combination of sunlight and
blue-light from the sky you can mature /
bankruptcies in twelve months, as these I
experiments have proved, with no greater
supply of food than would be used for I
miniature animal In the same period you
can scarcely conceive of the value of this
discovery to ar agricultural.
The same principles have been applied /
to the raising.of poultry with the most
remarkable success In regard to the hui
man family its influence would he wide |
spread You could invigorate the consti.
tutions of invalids and develop in the |

suppose it is scarcely necessary to say that
the Alabama clause is regarded in England
as a surrender to us of all that we have ever
claimed. Nobody attempts to hide that fact
on the other hand they look upon our tacit
abandonment Of the claim on account of the
recognition of Confederate belligerence by
England as an important concession. Much
of the unreasonable irritation reused by Mr..
Summers speech was due to the urgency with
which he pressed that clause and the fact that
1t might have been pressed under the Claren-
don convention was one great reason that the
English professed to be content with the fail
ure of that convention. / asked again and
again this question: Assuming as we both
do that the treaty will be ratified on both
sides, what will be the result in England? Is
it settlement which you accept as means of
being rid at high price of troublesome and
dangerous complication, but which is to
leave behind lasting regret and resentment,
or is it a settlement which you accept most
cordially and which you believe and mean
shall be followed on your part by hearty
friendship such as ought to exist between the
two nations?" The answer was invaribly the
same. ave make the treaty in good faith
and accept it cordially. We hail it as an
omen Of cordial goodwill hereafter on both
sides. If it is accepted in the same spirit in
America, we believe it makes an epoch in the
history of the English speaking races"

THE TREATY OF WASHINGTON

The Tribune of Monday published letter
from London correspondent, George w.
Smalley, who has just arrived in New York.
The substance of his letter is as follows;
"When left London the treaty had not

the sanction of the Senate was pretty conf

Element Of some kind.
We seem to forget that the treaty has to be
ratified there ~ well as here and that public
opinion must be consulted in England not less
than in America. So far as the ministry were
concerned their approval was sure; the En-
glish commissioners were in constant consul
tation by cable with theft government, and
whatever was .agreed to by them had been &C.
cepted in advance by the English cabinet. On
the other hand, the conservative party in
England have been far from initiating the
democratic party here. They have abstained
from any attempt to make party capital out of
question vital to the peace of the two nations
and will venture to predict that the conser-
vative minority In the House of Commons

Of the treaty. From some of its provisions
they may Dissent. but nothing is more unlike

contains no element of party politics.

cabinet especially interested in Anglo Ameri
