 The two causes which are credited with awakening the German people to the necessity of the temperance reform are, first, the conviction that beer-drink- ing is weakening the moral and physical qualities of the nation, and, second, the necessity of turning the beer material in- to bread. Statistics show that Germany devotes about a quarter of her productive energy to the liquor traffic, and that the demand for bread can only be met by the denial of beer"
 Christian Worker: At certain prom. inent place in Cincinnati new saloon has been opened, after fixing the place uI in the most elaborate manner.

Women are not per z mitted to be employed, nor youths unde sixteen. Attendants are clad in uniform each man with number on his colla like a policen an. The bars are plainl, fitted up, clean and respectable. Ther
 are no seats, private compartments or at fractions of any sort for lettering on tn
 premises. These saloons cannot be open
 ed before eight o'clock in the morning nor kept open after ten in the evening
 It is conclusive fact, founded upon ex perience, that the traffic in alcoholic bev erages has been greatly reduced an' drunkenness curtailed since the introduc

ELECTRIC LIGHT AND yEGETA-
 BILE GROWTH.

Prof l.. H. Bailey has recently pub lished Bulletin No. 42, Cornell Univer- sity agricultural experiment. station) second report on the effects of electric light upon the growth of plants. The first report Bulletin No. 30,) issued last year, gave details of numerous experi- ments, which are confirmed by the pres ent report. The results are, briefly, as follows:
 An arc lamp, 10 ampere, 45 volt, 2,OO0 nominal candle power Westinghouse al- tarnatino current. shaded by a clear glasS globe, was hung outside of and in the valley between two greenhouses, about six feet above the nearest glass. It sell dom burned after II p. m. and on moon- light nights not at all. It exercised decidedly beneficial effect upon the growth of lettuce, causing the lighted plants to be ready for market from a week to ten days before those grown outside the influ- ence of the lamp. Advantage of this fact has already been taken by grower near Boston, who finds gain of five days in u crop by the use of the light. Of other plants experimented on, Prof. Bailey says that endive was injured; radishes were benefited, but not enough to pay for the light; spinach grew from to 15 per cent
 
 flower seemed to grow better in the dark violets began to bloom in three weeks after being set out in light, while it was five weeks before those in the dark flow cred. The daisy (Bellis pere,snis) bloomed earlier, but did not make as good, stocky plants as those in the dark.
 An experiment with spinach seed was of interest as showing that characters of parent plants are not transmitted to the seed. For example, seed from a slender, light-grown plant and from low, dark grown plant, together with commercial seed, were planted together in the lighted house. The offspring of the low, dark grown plant gave the best results, while the commercial seed came next. But in the dark house the best results came from the offspring of the slender, light-grown parent, that from the dark-grown being second and the commercial third. Thus the slender habit of the light-grown plant was not transmitted when grown in the dark, and the low-growing habit of the dark grown parent was not improved up- on the second year, being surpassed by the offspring of slender, light-grown plant. Upon the whole, Prof. Bailey concludes l that the intervention of a pane or two of glass modifies materially the effects of the light, preventing injury, which results at times from the influence of naked | light; that as a rule plants are earlier 1 under the light, and that the light can be used to advantage in the forcing of plants. | Further experiments are in contempla- | tion during the coming winter and spring.

 Examiner: At the foot of cliff under the windows of the Castle of Miramir, formerly the residence of the Mexican Emperor Maximilian, at a depth of eighty feet below the surface of the clear waters of the Adriatic, is cage fashioned by divers in the face of the rock. In that cage are some of the most magnificent pearls in existence. They belong to the Archduchess Rainer. Having been left unworn for a long time, the gems lost their color and became "sick," and the experts were unanimous in declaring that the only means by which they could be restored to their original brilliancy was by submitting them to prolonged im- mersion in the depths of the sea. They have been lying there for number of years, and are gradually but very slowly regaining their former unrivaled orient.
