Some time ago Washington man applied to
friend for repor. on horses and got it, Later
he asked for copy of a report on mules and
pigs. The friend sent him note as follows: 81
send you herewith package which contains the
best thing I could find in the line that You

The package contained a copy Of the Congress
sionsl Directory.
The donkey whose enrsptured bray
Makes death a welcome choice

browns every other voice.

For something good, or new,
Who is the first to criticiss

Effects of tho Electric Light and I'll,
Electric Current on Plants.

Effects of the Electric Light and the
Electric Current on Plants.
A report on the effects of tile 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.
Radishes were strongly attracted by
the light, and all leaned ut an angle of
from so degrees to 40 degrees toward
the lamp. The report says:
There are a few points which are
clear, the electric light promotes as
similation, it often hastens growth and
maturity, it is capable of producing
natural flavors and colors in fruits, it
often intensihes 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. "There 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
rem to the culture of potatoes, tomatoes
and hemp, A row of hemp, subjected
to the influence of electric current, pro-
duced q row of stalks IL inches higher
than those not electrified in the same
time. A kilogramme ga pounds) Of
potatoes planted In the path of the cur
rent produced 81 kilogrammes of very
large and healthy tubers, while the I'M
electrified patch only gave l211 kilo-
grammes of medium size.
The electrified tomatoes also became
ripe some ten days before the others. A
curious fact has been remarked by NJ.
Barat in his experiments. If quaint
ty of manure is near the positive pole,
the constituent parts of this are
transported toward the negative pole,
and their effects make themselves felt
around q distance Of some yards. This
would seem to be a fresh proof of the
opinion long advanced upon the part
played by electricity in the growth Of
plants, an opinion also adopted by Nj.
Specnew, who has given some attention
to these phenomena; this is, hat the
action Of the electric current upon
plants seem to consist in the more &C
tive dissolution of the organic principles
existing in the soil which are thus
brought within the reach of the roots.
