Eiectrifyine seeds.

Dr.. Leicester, of Bristol, England,
has been studying the growth Of
seeds in earth artifcially electrified.
A box three feet long by nearly three
wide was filed with choice soil. At
one end a zinc plate and at the other
end copper one were placed, and
were united outside by q copper
wire. They were about one foot
square. By the chemical action on
the zinc plate, current passed
through the earth toward the copper
plate, and returning by the copper
wire made circuit. The box was
thus q very simple cell or battery.
Seeds were sown in the soil be-
tween the plates, and their growth
was much more rapid than that of
similar seeds planted in a similar
box, but one without the metal
plates.
Similar experiments made with
glass tanks filed with soil show sim
liar results. Hempseed, sown in an
electrified glass tank, was fully an
inch high before any sprouts could
be seen in unelectrifed earth. It
was found, too, that if the doctor
watered the soil with little very
dilute acetic acid the growth was
much quicker in the electrified soil

He carried it up stairs early In the
evening. and at II O'Clock he started
it. II made as much noise Is though
it had been a railroad through the

intense stiffness that followed to
hear Mr.. Gigsby step out into the
hall for his hat and overcoat, but in
stead Of that he heard him say to
Clara: 'Goodnessl How careless it
was to leave that boiler where it
would fall like that. It's almost

Then Mr.. Staybolt gave it up, and
he never knew until after the young
people were married that Mrs. Stay

hours before he started it rolling. ~
