STIMULATING GROWTH.
A Practical and Scientific Use of Elec-
tricity In France.

A Practical and Scientific Use of Elec-
tricity In France.
A practical, scientific use of cleo
tricity is made in France to stimulate
the growth and increase the product
of field crops. An apparatus which
has been successfully used is called the
geomagnetifer, says the Philadelphia
Record, and consists of high pole set
up in the field where the potatoes or
other crops are growing. 1t supports
an insulated head of galvanized iron,
which terminates in the air in sort
of plexus of points and branches made
of copper. This collector of electrici-
ty communicates by wire with a net
work of other wires, which ramify
through the earth around the foot of
the pole and among the growing roots,
beets, cabbages, potatoes or other crop
buried deep enough to be out of the
way in cultivating the crop.
1t is found by experience that this
apparatus collects the electricity which
always exists in the atmosphere, and
which is made especially manifest by
storms, rain, wind, ETC., and transmits
it to the earth and the stratum of air
nearest the earth. The resulting
stimulus to the crop is very marked.
In one test within a superficial area of
thirty-two meters the potato yield, in
proportion to the yield of adjoining
areas not electrically stimulated, was
as ninety-one to sixty. Another report
showed sixty-three kilograms of pota-
toes, as against thirty-eight Kilograms
grown under ordinary conditions.
Other root crops and grapes give equal
ly good results.

EASTER MARBLES.

German children have game Of mar
bles played only at Easter. The Easter
eggs are cut off squarely, perhaps one
third Of the distance from the broad
end. They are then set up, say. three or
four feet from the wall and In triangular
positions. Three or four may be set at
once. Sides are chosen il there are more
than two players. Then the children
roll their marbles with deft thud
against the wall or Dashboard. II in
the rebound marble touches cne of the
eggs, 1t becomes the property of the side
to which the marble belongs. Then the
opposite side must "set up" and the
game is only won when all the eggs are
captured by one side. Candy animals
and cake people who are able to stand
alone are often victims in this war Of
marbles.
