At meeting of the British Meteoro-
logical society at London, Shelford Bid
well made a remarkable experiment,
showing the effects Of electricity upon
steam. It is well known fact that the
shadow Of jet of steam cast upon any
white background under ordinary cir
cumstances is of feeble intensity and of
a neutral tint. But, however, If the jet
be given a discharge OF electricity just
at the moment when it comes in contact
with the air, the density Of the shadow
is amazingly increased as a result Of con-
densation, and it assumes q peculiar
orange brown hue with lines and waves
merging into inky blackness.
Mr.. Bidwell, the only person to my
knowledge who has ever made these ex-
periments scientifically, suggests that
the electricity promotes a coalescence of
the exceedingly minute particles of wa
ter contained in the jet of steam, thus
forming drops large enough to obstFuct
the more refrangible rays of light, but
why the color Of the shadow should
change from neutral to shades of at least
three well defined colors he does not at
tempt to explain. From one of his late
articles I gather ideas which point to the
intense blachness of thunderclouds be-
ing due to similar causes. st. Louis Re

One variety of the India rubber tree

of very bright red.

tact with manure 1t can be spread on the
top of the bed after planting.
The evariegated screw pine, with its glossy
leaves, striking, symmetrical outlines and
handsome variegation, is welcome in any
household. The green variety, Pinus utiIis,
is used in all the fashionable Paris hotels
and restaurants
In the earlier periods of life trees in
crease much faster than when adult--the
oak, for instance, grows more rapidly be-
tween the twentieth and thirtieth years
and when old the annual deposits consid-
erably diminish, SO that the strata are thin
ner and the rings proportionately closer.

Bureau is amending the Treasury
Department regulations for the reg
istration OF Chinese iu accordance
with the recent act Of Congress ex--
tending the time Of registration six

able to produce certificates will be
summarily deported.
