Electricity in Morning Glsries.

Last evening gentleman If this city
accidentally made most singular dis
covery respecting the electrical influence
Of the ordinary morning-glory vines.
Seated near the lattice work over which
the vine was trained. his attention was
attracted To a single little branch tipped
with a growing line extending straight
out from the rest, and specnlatcd within
himself whether the tiny hairs with
which the stem was clothed were not
placed there for the purpose of conduct
ing the electric fluid Of the atmosphere
to the plant. In order to continue his
investigation, he approached his finger
within half an inch Of il. and was
amazed to observe slight-almost i'm
perceptible, vet unmistakable-mot
of the stem. As he pushed his finger u
little nearer, the stem trembled very yisi-
bly,, and was seemingly attracted and
repealed from him. The hairs which he
noticed before did not move. but ~
MANNED erect There was No wind at
the time, and the motion was purely an
induced one. After this interesting ex-
pertinent he placed the end Of his finger
within short distance Of the growing
bud, and slowly moved it in circular
direction. The stem followed the mo-
ton until il was bent in the shape Of a
letter c, and, when TIE finger was with
drawn, instantly regained its former
straight position. This last experiment,
was witnessed by several persons, all of
whom tried it, with varying success

There is possibility that the par
tial failure Of the European silk crop
may force this country into silk-culture
on a more extensive scale than hereto
fore. The silk product in Europe last
year was 3,400,OO0 kilogrammes this
year it is only 100000 kilogrammes.
1t is thought that silk can be profitably
cultured in New jersey, California and
many Of the Southern States.
1t is estimated that there are i'm the
United States over 400. 900 railway cars of
all kinds, also 5000 engines. These
engines and ears in travelling over the
roads lose annually between four and
five million of nuts. These will weigh
over !, 500, 900 lbs, and their cost is be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and this
loss is continued from year to year, say

A Desirable Invention.

Apparently one of the most feasible,
and, in many respects, the most desir-
able improvements in heating railway
coaches, is the device of Mr.. Collins,
the mechanical engineer of the Penn.
sylvania railroad. The plan is to place
in the baggage car of the train large
boiler, in which water is to be heated.
This supplies pipes which run through
the train, the connection between the
cars being by means of hose. Under
each seat are branch pipes connected
with the main pipe. Four air-boxes
under each car, allow fresh air to pass
over the heated pipes, thus supplying
the cars constantly with pure air. The
hot water is forced to the end of the car
through the pipes on one side, and is re-
turned on the other by Worthington
force pump. A constant stream of wa
ter is thus forced through the pipes,
insuring uniform degree of heat. The
cars may be heated to high tempera-
ture, by rapidly passing the water
through the pipes, or the temperature
lessened by reducing the speed. 1t is
claimed that this method is much more
economical and safer than any other,
produces an even temperature and
avoids the danger of fire in case of COL
lision or accident. Any one who has
travelled in cold weather knows some of
the discomforts and dangers in cars
heated in the ordinary way by stoves.
Each Car requires q separate fire, and
while one car may be too hot, the next
one may be too cold; and. at the best,
the temperature is constantly fuctuat-
ing. And a hot car full of passengers
is generally badly ventilated. If sys-
tenn of uniform heating by steam can be
made practicable, the heat can be con-
trolled at will by one attendant, and
the air of the car can be constantly re-
newed with pure, but well-warmed air,
which will displace the vitiated air.
Such desideratum is greatly to be de-
sired, and the inventor who meets the
public demand in this respect with a
practical system will do his fellow men
q good turn.-Haaok- Eyetems.
