PROMOTING VEGETATION.

Effects of the Electric Light and tho
Electric Current on Plants.
A report on the effects of the electric
light on plants comes from the agri-
cultural experiment station of Cornell
university, where studies have been
made of the influence Of the electric
arc lamp upon greenhouse plants.
Radishcs were strongly attracted by
the light. and all leaned at an angle of
from 60 degrees to As degrees toward
the lamp. The report says:
There are few points which are
clear, the electric light promotes as
similation, it often hastens growth and
maturity, it is capable of producing
natural favors and colors in fruits, it
often intensifes colors of flowers, and
sometimes increases the production Of
flowers"
1t is added that the experiments
show that plants do not need periods of
darkness for rest. "Thsre is every rea-
son, therefore, to suppose that the cleo
trio light can be proftably used in the
growing of plants" and the further in
ference is that 'if the electric light
makes plants to assimilate during
the night, and does not interfere with
growth, it must produce plants of great
size and marked precocity."
Experiments have been carried out in
France, in Lot-et-Garonne, by M. Barat,
upon the application of the electric cur
rent to the culture of potatoes, tomatoes
and hemp, A row of hemp, subjected
to the influence of electric current, pro-
duced row of stalks 1S inches higher
than those not electrified in the same
time. A kilogramme Ca pounds) of
potatoes planted in the path of the cur
rent produced 81 kilogrammes of very
large and healthy tubers, while the un-
electrified patch only gave 1211 kilo-
grammes of medium size.
The electrified tomatoes also became
ripe some ten days before the others. A
curious fact has been remarked by M.
Barat in his experiments. If a quanti-
ty of manure is near the positive pole,
the constituent parts Of this manure ore
transported toward the negative pole,
and their effects make themselves felt
around distance of some yards. This
would seem to be O fresh proof Of the
opinion long advanced upon the part
played by electricity in the growth Of
plants, an opinion also adopted by Mr.
Specnew, who has given some attention
to these phenomena; this is, that the
action of the electric current upon
plants seems to consist in the more ac
tive dissolution Of the organic principles
existing in the soil which are thus
brought within the reach Of the roots.

A GREAT SHAKE.
An Earthquake That Upset Things Eighty
Years Ago.

An Earthquake That Upset Things Eighty
Years Ago.
One of the most violent earthquakes
Of this century was that which de-
stroyed the town of New Madrid, Mo-,
in 1911. The first shock occurred De.
cember 16 and was followed by others
of constantly increasing violence until
February. The town stood on a bluff
fifteen or twenty feet above the sum-
nler floods, AID sunk so low that the
next rise covered it to the depth of FIVE
feet. The most marked phenomena,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, oc-
CURED in the Mississippi river. the bed
of which rose, carrying great waves
which swamped many boats and
drowned the crews. Other boats were
wrecked on snags thrown up from the
bottom OF the river where they had lain
buried for ages. The sulphureted gases
discharged during the shocks tainted
the air and rendered the water of the
river poisonous for many days In st.
Louis county fowls fell from the trees
as though dead; crockrey fell from
shelves and was broken, and the inhab-
itants OF the pioneer settlements left
their homes in fear of being crushed.
For several years the earthquake of
1911 was known as the great shake. +"
The center OF its violence seemed to be
at Little Prairie, twenty-five or thirty
miles below New Madrid. although the
vibrations were felt all over the valley
Of the Ohio and as far up as Pittsburgh.
Sand bars and projecting points Of land
were swallowed up In the food, with
great cottonwood trees, which were en-
tirely submergeS rs
