Immediate Effect of Cross Fer,iIIzntlou.

In the discussions which followed the
reading of DR.. J. @. Meals paper on cross
fertilization, read before the American
Pathological Society, b. E. Van Deman
stated that he did not believe in the theory
Of the immediate effect Of the pollen upon
the fruit, and had never seen any such
effects. P. j. Berckmans, the President of
the society, stated that his experience had
convinced him that immediate effect Of
pollen was possible. and cited instances
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-06-30

where this had practically occurred. He
now STRENGTHENED his case by showing that
while fruits are thus sometimes modified in
their external appearance, flowers are also
apt to show such immediate effect He cites
a case in hisown garden, where verbena
plant which has for two years produced pure
white flowers, has this year within two feet
of it a verbena of bright pink color. On
that part of the white variety next to the
pink variety there are now welldefned
striped flowers, while upon the other por-
tions of the plant the flowers retain their
original pure white color. He asks: IF
this is not caused by immediate cross-fertili-
cation, what did cause it?"

New Method of Producing Ozone.

originally made by charging dry oxygen or
common dry cir with electricity from sparks
or points. Afterward Faraday showed that
it could be made by holding warm glass
rod in vapor of ether, or by passing air over
brightphosphorous halt immersed in water,
and later Siemens and others brought out
various inventions in which electricity
played an important part. These, however,
are now superseded by an application OF
the well known Wimshurst machine, which
for the production of ozone is constructed
with certain notifications, and by means of
which the generation of ozone on a large
scale can be effected. From the terminals
of the machine two wires are carried 10 an
ozone generator, formed somewhat after the
manner ofSiemens' but with this difference,
that the discharge is made through series
of fine points within the cylinders. The
machine is placed on table with the ozone
generator at the back of it, and can be so ar
ranged that by turning of the handle which
works the machine, blast OF air is carried
through the generator. Thus by one action
electricity is generated, sparks are dis
charged in the ozone generator, air is driven
through, and ozone is delivered over freely.
If it be wished to use pure oxygen instead
of common air, nothing more is required
than to use compressed oxygen and to allow
gentle current to pass through the ozone
generator in place of air. For this purpose
Brin's compressed oxygen is the purest and
the best; but for ordinary service atmos-
pheric air is sufficient.

MR.. sEWALL DISMISSED.
His Story Of cermany's course In
Samoa.
He Believes Salisbury In League with
Blsmarck-cerman sentrIes with
Orders to shoot-An Outrage to Our
Flag.

WASHINGTON. Feb. This morning, Har
old NJ. Sewall Of Maine, Consul General TO
the Samoan Islands, received notification
from the State Department that his resigna-
tion would be acceptable on the ground that
his acts were not in harmony with those Of
the administration.
MIR. Sewall said tonight he supposed his re-
moval was due to the testimony he gave be-
fore the Senate committee on foreign affairs.
Mr.. Sewall said: 81 believe the deposition
of Malietoa was determined upon before the
conference Of the three powers began, and it
was the German intention to carry out the
policy 1t had decided on, regardless of the
conference. 1t is the purpose Of Germany to
secure control OF Samoa in defiance of the
solemn and repeated assurances given our
government 1 believe Lord Salisbury is a
party to the scheme and the movement
against Samoa is only precursor of an An
gl0-German attempt to secure supremacy In
the Hawaiian Islands. Mr.. Bayard expects
Admiral Kimberly to succeed in doing by
protest what he has been trying, without
success, to do for a year. Commanders
Leary and Mullen have protest
ed, and their protests were received with
contempt. Does any one expect Kimberly to
be treated better? To send the ships with
tuc pIcStut luStIucLi0u Is SIMPLY 10 subject
the officers and men to humiliation. Secre-
tary Bayard cannot punish Secretary Whit
ney or Mr.. Bates. am therefore singled
out for sacrifice"
Mr.. Sewall said that he had during the en-
tire term Of his service loyalty and implicitly
followed the Secretary's instructions not
withstanding they placed him in a false and
humiliating position. He added: "This Is
not the first time the German Consul has de-
clared martial law in force. German sentries
before Americans were deprived of the right
to joint voice in the government Of Apia,
had been commanded 70 shoot until dead"
men not answering a challenge. A notice
giving warning Of this was posted In Ger
man script only. An American banner was
torn down by the Germans and trampled on.
A leading American merchant, standing on
his own land, was knocked down by Ger
man sailor, who, on his return to his ship,
was imprisoned for not having bayonetted
the man. was stopped on the highway at
Apia before war was declared, and the Off
Ger whose command had taken possession Of
that part Of the town threatened / would be
shot II | proceeded. German sentries were
posted around my consulate at night. 1t Is
for testifying to these facts that l presume
my resignation was asked"

IT WAS THE GLENCOE
Which Was Lost off 8eachy Mead
With All on Board.

LONDON, Feb. TIT has been ascertalned
beyond doubt that the steamer which was
sunk in collision with the British barque
Largo Bay, of Beaehy Head on Monday
night, was the Glencoe, belonging to the
Glen Line Of Glasgow. The Glencoe was
bound from Liverpool for London. She car
ried crew numbering 81 men. all OF whom
were presumably drowned. She had no pas
sengers.
The force Of the collision was 90 great
that the foremast Of the Largo Bay was
ierked out and fell across her deckhouse,
crushing 1t. A wild tempest was raging az
the time, and snow was falling so thickly
that IL was impossible for the lookout on
either vessel 10 see the lights OF the other un-
til the collision was Inevitable. The Glen
cOe forced ahead. trying TO cross the Largo
Bays bow. but failed to do so, and ran az
full speed into the barque. dei' Olishtng ten
feet OF her bow. The Largo l.ly would also
have sunk had she not been provided with
watertight sections. The suddenness Of the
shock dazed the crew Of the barque. They
saw nothing further Of the steamer. but
could make out her crew struggling In the
water. 1t was impossible, however, 10 rem
der them any assistance, all Of the Largo
Bays boats being smashed.
The wind blew with such force that the
sails OF the barque were torn In shreds and
boy was carried overheard. The barque
weathered the storm until rescued and
tOWed into COWes.

WELCOME, GOVERNOR.

The Banquet hall was beautifully decorat-
ed. From the large chandelier in the center
which was adorned with the graceful smilax,
radiated numerous bunting streamers that
extended to the walls of the spacious room.
NumDerless flags and other pretty decora-
tions covered the walls, while the tables
were exquisitely arrayed. At each plate
was fern leaf and a pure white carnation
pink. In front of the Governor was a large
basket filed with ferns, calla lilies and red
and white carnation pinks. Arranged with
exquisite taste through the center Of the
tables were numerous unique baskets Of
varied designs, each filed with choice
flowers and terms. In the center of the table
opposite the one at which the Governor sat
was a very large basket filled with score of
the beautiful lilies of the Nile, and with
fresh green ferns such as may be gathered in
certain favored hooks Of our own forests
late in the fall. There were baskets Of the
fragrant jonquils; bouquets Of calendulas.
and quantities of the delicate maiden hair
fern, all arranged in manner especially
pleasing to the eye. The Governor sat In
the center Of one Of the tables. On his i'm
mediate left was President Dow and Mayor
Chapman, and on his immediate right Gen.
Sprague and Gen. Harper. These are the
names of those who sat at the tablas.
