PLANTS AND ELECTRIC LIGHT
Some Remarkable Results Obtained
in fastening Growth and
Other WAYS
No better attractions t

From the Engineering Record.
In considering the sanitary aspect
OF electric lighting in our issue of May
8, 1881. we stated, among other
things, that one advantage which
electric arc lights have over all other
means of illumination is that they
give off a very large proportion of
chemical rays, and accordingly simu-
late the effects of sunlight. Dark
rooms, cellars and other places where
sunlight does not come, may, there
fore, be expected to be quite as health
full and to be as easily protected from
foulness, where arc lighls are used
as rooms into which sunlight can
freely enter.
Since that time accounts have been
current of numb of experiments on
the development of flowers and plants
by electric light, the latest being in
the shape Of a bulletin, just issued by
the Agricultural Experiment Station
of Cornell University, at Ithaca, n. Y.
The results of the eXperim ents there
made for the past two years, with the
view to determining what influence
the electric arc light eXerts upon
plants in greenhouses, are decidedly
interesting, and would seem to bear
out quite fully the correctness of our
earlier remarks regarding the sun
light effects of this means artificial
illumination.
The experiments were begun in the
winter of 1SS9-90, and for the purpose
| forcing house 20X60 feet was used.
The house was divided into two near
ly equal portions for the experiment
by tight board partition. One com.
partment was treated to ordinary con-
| ditions-sunlight by day and dark.
ness by highland the other had
sunlight during the day and cleo
trio light during a part or the whole
! of the night. In all the experiment t:
the lamps were suspended from the
peak of the house, the arc being l.:
feet above the soil OF the bench Owe
which it was placed.
During the first winter from Jan
uary to April, $780, 10 ampere 45
volt Brush arc lamp of 1000 nomina
candle power was used. This wa
run all night during the periot
named, and the light was shut dow
as soon as daybreak appeared. Fo
the first six weeks the light wa
naked, but during the remainder Q
the time an ordinary white opal glob
was used. The general effect of tn
light was to greatly hasten maturity
and the nearer the plant grew to tn
light the greater was the accelars
ton.
The plants grown under the il
fiuence of the electric light were sol
two weeks earlier than those grow
in the ordinary way. Practically til
same results were obtained in cases
all other vegetables experimental oil
No definite conclusions are draw
from the experiments thus far mad
but it is considered proven that tn

electric light promotes assimilation;
that it often hasten growth and
maturity; that 1t is capable of pro-
ducing natural flavors and colors In
fruits, and that it often intensifies
colors of flowers and sometimes in
creases the production of flowers.
There Is every reason, therefore, to
suppose that the electric light can be
profitably used in the growing of
plants.
