1T is IMPROVING.

Business Transactions Are Larger Than "A
Year Ago.
r. G. Dun & Co. S weekly review of trade
says:
Distribution OF products Is unquestion-
ably improving Transactions are on the
whole larger than year ago In spite OF de-
preston at the South, being much larger at
the West Nor Is the improvement confined
to that section, though general there; IL Is
also more distinctly felt in Eastern cities,
and there are not wanting signs that trade
at the South, though still much embarrassed
by the low price of cotton, Is steadily
gaining. With all the great industries
active with money abundant in spite OF
gold exports, and with speculation kept in
wholesome check, the outlook would seem
TO be unusually favorable, notwithstand-
ing general complaints that prices are low
and margins of profit unusually small

Earthquakes and Vegetation.

When people tell us that earthquakes
are capital things we may reasonably be
allowed to entertain suspicious regard
ing their sanity, but if they follow mp
their assertions with reasonable argu-
ment then we must perforce give them
some attention. Signor A. Gioran has
been collecting n number of observa-
tions, from which he deduces that the
effects of siesmic shocks upon vegetation
are to favor more rapid termination of
seeds and a more rapid growth of the
young plants, thus resulting in a greatly
increased luxuriance. These results he
believes to be due not to the direct infiu-
ence of the tremor. but TO three second
AIRY causes, among which is the pro
duction of electricity. which always ac-
companies stresses in the earth's crust.
In connection with this we may notice
some experiments by Professor A. Aloi.
ON the influence of atmospheric electric
ity on the growth of plants. From OBJ
servations made chiefly on Lactuca
scariola, Zea mais, Triticum nstivum,
Nicotiana tabacum and Vicia faba, he
concludes that this influence is distinctly
beneficial. Further experiments have
demonstrated that the electricity of the
soil has similar influence on the germi.
