A New Jersey agriculturist is expert

tatoes by means Of steam pipes
under the ground aud has succeeded In
forcing 4 growth OF fifteen inches high
In two weeks from date Of planting.
The potatoes have always turned out
small Ia comparison to the vine. This
Is new idea, but the practicabllity of
forcing vegetables by electricity dates
back as far as 1871, when a MIR. Fell, OF
Hyde Park. on the Hudson River, forced
the growth of tomatoes so that In week
from the date of planting the plants bore
small ripe tomatoes an inch In diameter.
The following was the way 1t was done.
A row Of tomato plants, forty feet long,
was set out; at one end sheet of copper
an eighth Of an inch thick, fourteen in
ches wide and four feet long was placed
perpendicularly two feet in the ground,
leaving two feet In the air; at the other
end zinc plate OF same size was slmil.
arly placed; wire carried over poles
was fastened to cacll of these plates, the
earth completing the circuit; an abund-
ance of manure was used, and in one
week the result was as above stated.
This crop was also followed by three
other weekly crops OF the same size with
in a month. OF course 1t is not
necessary to limit the length of the row
to forty feet. and ~ it is simple and
easy thing to do. perhaps some of the
readers OF The WING will make the en-
periment.-QaiHcy Wing.

How The D.e,ar.,,.. va. Saved.

There is an article in Scribner which
mentions that the original Declaration Of
independence was save by Mr.. Stephen
c. Pleasonton, fifth auditor Of the treas
ury, when the State department and pub
lie buildings were burned by the British
in 1914. This Is a mistake. When all
the officials. alone with the president
Mr.. Madison and his wife, were fleeing
from the capital TO place OF safety, a
gentleman named Josiah Wilson King.
then clerk Of the diplomatic bureau, re.
membered the valuable document. which
had been forgotten and lett TO perish in
the flames. MIR. King. at the peril Of be-
ing taken prisoner, returned to the de-
partment, and with his penknife Gu: the
parchment from the frame. and kept it
in his possession until peace and quiet
were restored. One Of Mr. Kings dausi..
tiers married Samuel Mexican, son OF
Governor Mexican. Of Pennsylvania, who
was one Of the ''signers." Mrs. Mexican
died last winter, but her children. who
i've mere ana are my dearest friends, have
often heard their mother speak of the
circumstance Of the rescue Of the Decla-
ration by their grandfather, and that she
had often had 1t In her hand and read in
the original. Mrs. Higgins, another
daughter Of Mr.. King, still lives here
and can vouch for the correctness Of this
statement. Her only daughter is the wife
Of Professor Fairlamb, whose opera and
opera company wrote about few
weeks ago. Mr.. Pleasonton, Mr.. King
and Mr.. Mexican all came here with thu
government. Mr.. PleasOnton died a few
years ago, and was never heard to claim
