NEW USE OF THE ELECTRIC LIGHT.

New discoveries are constantly being mads
in the possibilities of the electric light. When
the electric light was introduced in the Pal
ace Hotel at San Francisco it was noticeable
fact that the plants in the corridors attained
surprisingly vigorous growth The atten-
ton of "A cousin of DR.. C. w. Siemens of Lon
don was attracted by this phenomenon, and
the London journals recently have contained
elaborate accounts of DR.. Siemens' expert
meHts. He is one of the leading scientists of
Europe, and his opinions are entitled to great
weight. The experiments made by this IN
vestgator to ascertain whetherplants exposed
to the electric light we're affected by its rays
conclusively prove that it is efficacious in pro
ducing their leaf green and in greatly stlmulat-
ing their growth. After announcing this beau
tiful discovery to the meeting of the society on
the 4th inst the discoverer placed a pot Of
budding tulips in the full brightness of an cleo
trio lamp, and in about forty minutes the buds
had expanded into full bloom Dr. Siemens
experimental tests, conducted for two months,
show that the ordinary vegetables which were
kept entirely in the dark died; those exposed
to the electric light only or to daylight only
throve equally well, while those exposed to
the daylight and also to the electric light
SUCCESSFULLY grew rapidly and vigorously.
He contends that the radiation of heat
from powerful electric arcs can be made
available to correct frost and probably to pro-
mote the ripening of fruit in the open air, 1t
has been generally supposed that plants, like
animals reqsire a certain amount of rest in
the twenty four hours, but these experiments
show that, subjected to the sunlight by day
and the electric light by night, they make in
creased and vigorous progress.
The discovery may lead to some important
practical results of which its own author has
as yet no hint Where natural water power
can be had at little cost and the mechanical
energy necessary for working the electric light
ing apparatus is less expensive it may, and no
deubt will, be highly available for horticultu-
rists

Prof. Felix Adeler recently delivered an ad-
drcas In New York In which he very clearly

journals Of the United States were referred to

certain amount Of recklessness In supplying
the demand. The people must be pleased at
all hazards, so II the actual facts fail to reach
the required standard, they are enlarged

things are all true enough, but We imagine
that Prof. Adeler would find 1t q difficult uu-

Mistaken Vacations.


If the truth were known most of the fai :
ures of individuals to get ahead and prosper
in life are due to the mistakes thnt are made
by young men at the outset of their careers
in choosing their vacations. Or, in other
words, the failures are largely the result of
putting round men in square noles and square
men in round holes. The spelling of good
artisans, mechanics md agri-
culturists in unsuccessful attempts
to make statesmen, lawyers, physicians,
artists, merchants and journalists, is a story
of endless repetition. This point was admir-
ably illustrated by the Rev, Dr. Collyer, in q
recent address before the graduates of Pack
ards business college. The learned and
leyel-headed doctor urged the necessity of
the young man getting down to bard pan at
the beginning of his carser-that is, the ne
cessity of his finding out what kind Of hon
est labor OF hand or brain he liked best, and
then to do it with all hs.might. Under the
thin disguise Of the story of
the life of man whom he
knew, but whose nhmo he would not men
ton, he gayo n sketch of lis own biography,
and in this way pleasantly enforced the lessons
he taught. Said he: 81 know young
gentleman in Ohio, who went through col
lego and might have zone into one Of the
professions with money enough to stake him;
but he said, No; will be ~ farmer | like
that BEST" and he Is the best farmer in his
section. | WA making call She other day,
and q good mother said "What shall !
do with this boy of mine? He
cares for nothing but bugs, but for those he
has o perfect passion, and ills the house with
thiDgB he finds in the grass and trees" "That
boy of yours is all right" said. GAS long
as no does not have s passion for humbugs
he has the making in him Of noble natU-
ralist. SEQ that his education does not slAy
Ills passion and will answer for the rest"
The doctor concluded his sensible address by
suggesting to his audience that it was Of ths
highest Importance to them TO first find out
wat they most wanted to do. and were best
adapted for doing, with al their heart
by the Tina they were through with
their school, and then to get down to hard
pan and make the moSt OF it. He added ::
" A coed farmer or mechanic who loves his
work hos better time than poor lawyer or
doctor, who only clings to his profession be.
cause it gives him certain rank and station;
and tho man who can make good horse.
shoe and put it on we'll serves both God and
man better, in my opinion, than the minister
who breaches sermons nobody wants
to hear. l know that because | have
done both. You get down to
hard-psn then where you take
hold OF that you lcve to do best, and put
your life into your work" This is excellent
advice to young men just enlisting in the bat
tie of life. One great trouble of our time is
that SO few arc disposed to get down TO the
hsrd-pan of good honest labor and it is
because society says one thing while nature
says another. Tho doctor SAYS that it is
these cross-purposes thst are filing all our
cities with men who have to hold on by the
skin of their teeth and all our land with
tramps.
