The Vegetative Power of Sunlight.

rom the New Ofk nelaiu.
Though the influence of direct sunshine
upon vegetation has long been well known,
the recent researches of DIR. NJ. Buysman in
dicate need for a new system Of biolneteor-
ological observations. The constant high
temperature within the tropics is the cause of
plants there being less dependent on direct
solar heat than plants in the temperate
zone; but, notwithstanding this, there are
plants even in the tropics requiring for a
luxuriant growth the direct rays of tn e sun.
This scientist shows, in the journal Nature,
that direct sunshine (and not mean temper
ature) is the determining factor OF a climates
availability for the satisfactory growth and
ripening of the vine, sugar, corn ana other
important plants. Thus in the ranless, al
most cloudiess, summer OF Bokhara, though
forty degrees north of the equator,
by the end of June, the soil requir-
ing artificial irrigation, while i'm other
equally warm but more cloudy climes the
grapes do not mature until late in Septem-
ber., 1t has been found that even IN the
tundra OF Siberia on hllsides exposed yerti-
cally to the suns rays herbaceous vegetation
with "large, splendid-colored flowers" ac-
cording to Middendorff, is observed but iii
far otherwise in adjacent plains where the
solar rays reach the soil horizontally. The
physical law thus brought to light has just
been most strikingly exempliied by the OBJ
seryations of the lato German expedition to
the island of South Georgia The report OF
the expedition shows that South Georgia,
though living but two hundred miles further
from the equator than the northern limit OF
vine culture in Germany, is an almost sun
less waste, in which MOSES constitute the en-
tire flora.
These facts abundantly show the necessity
for adapting, as DIR. Buysnan suggests me-
neurological researches I'm all countries to the
discovery Of the real quantity of both heat and
sunlight essential for the profitable growth
of the plants most important to human life.
BY means of the sunshine recorder-an in
strument several forms of which have OF late
wears been invented-this most interesting
and practical study might be carried on t6
results which would be of great value to agri
culturists. 1t is much to be desired that the
state weather services in the cotton and grain
growing districts should institute sunshine
observations. Such observations would also
be extremely useful i'm furnishing the mos
reliable data from which to make estimates
of the progress and promise Of tho growing
crops. ~ srf

Returning to rsy ms ra.he,,s pebs.. !

Somo of the old people in Pittsburg re-
member Robert Graves & Son, lumber mer"
chants who failed here under suspicious cir
cumstances torty-seven years ago. A few
weeks before the failure the head of the firm
bought am unusually large quantity of lumber
on thirty days credit, which he at once dis
posed of for cash, making over $4,000 out of
the transaction. He attempted to repeat the
operation few days later and was caught in
his dishonesty and arrested. Passing out of
his lumber yard he caught up hatchet and
buried its blade, as he supposed, in the skull
of the officer who had arrested him. Hiram
Graves, the son, who was accompanying his
father and the officer, saw the blow struck
and to prevent being witness against his
father inthe latter's trial for numbering the
officer, fled with him for parts unknown.
A few months after their departure the
woman to whom young Graves was engaged
TO be married left PIttsburg mysteriously and
never came back again.
Last week Hiram Graves, his wife and
three children came quietly to Pittsburg to
enable Mr.. GrNes to pay his fathers debts.
To an old friend Mr.. Graves tells a singular
story. When they left Pittsburg, forty-seyen
year ago. Leland his father went to Canada.
BeirS tracked there by officers they hurried
away one night, under the cover of darkness,
and went to California. Young Graves was
followed by his sweetheart and they were
married in Sacramento. They were success

money to pay all that they owed and CON
siderable amount besides. Still fearing that
he would he arrested for numbering the Off
Ger Robert Graves refused to come back to
Pittsburg. Several months ago he died.
AS soon as Hiram Graves could get his
business in condition making his absence
from California for a few months possible, he
came East with his family.
Not one of the men whom his father owed
is now living though in every case he sue
ceeded i'm finding some relative to whom the
money and interest SO long due could be
paid. The grandchildren of the richest
creditor of Robert Graves were found in an
orphan asylum. The amount due them, in
Guiding compound interest was 5000. MIR.
Graves found them in Louisiana None OF
the relatives of the creditors were in COM
Portable circumstances and the money in
every case was godsend. Every one has
now been paid and Hiram Graves and his
family will soon return to their Western
home. f.#.rIH eF..F.-.. e.

that his father had killed Is now a successful
planter in the South. The Ratchet missed

Freedom for 4 Few Dozen Oysters

Among the wealthiest bankers Of
Russia are the noble members of the
House Of Schalouchine. Al couple Of
generations ago their ancestor was a
serf, owned by one Count Seheres
metef. BY dint of great industry this
serf, as Life (London) relates; amass-
ed al enormous fortune. All his eff
forts to purchase bis freedom, how
ever, were Of no avail, and offers as
high as $250,0O0 were scornfully re-
jected by his master, who seemed ac-
tually to enjoy the torture he infict-
ed on his millionaire slave, who could
neither bequeath his fortune to bis
children nor otherwise benefit them
without the consent of his lord. Ii
happened one day that the Count had
invited several friends to o dinner
party, and when his maitre d'hotel
laid before him the menu for inspec-
ton, he was aghast to find that oys-
ters did not figure among the hors-d'-
Guvres. In answer to his indignant
remonstrances. that fuactionary as
sured him that oysters were not to
be had at any price At the height
of the angry scene, which was con-
tinued even in the presence of the
guests, Schalouchine was announced,
and in order to vent bis wrath on the
unfortunate serf, the Count shouted
out, "Show the slave in. What do
you want, dog2 If you want your
freedom, | tell you / will never grant
it. | care not for any offer you nay
make-no, not for a million roubles |!
A few dozen oysters at this moment
would be worth more to me-" "Do I
understand, my lord, y asked the serf,
that you would grant me my free
dom if / procure them for you ?"
Eyes, replied the Count, much to the
amusement of his guests. As it hap
pened, Schalouchine had brought q
barrel of oysters with him as gift to
his master, knowing of the great din
ner party. They were brought In;
the deed of freedom was Immediately
signed, and the Count, addressing his
former slave with the utmost cour-
tesy, said, "Sir, may / invite you to
