OF Interest to Pomologists.

The catalogue of fruits thatis in course
of preparation by the division Of pomol-
ogy of the agricultural department at
Washington, and which will be issued in
part during the present year, will give the
latest improved name of each variety,
in accordance with the latest estab-
lished rules for simplifying the names
of fruits. and also the synonyms. This
list will be of great use in helping to
disentangle the confused state of po1no-
logical nomenclature and place within
the hands Of fruit growers a standard
authority.
At the last meeting of the American
Horticultural society resolutions were
adopted urging upon the public that the
division of pomology of the department.
of agriculture be recognized as the ma
tional authority on the Identification and
nomenclature of fruits, and also as to
the value of new varieties about to be Of
fered to the public.

CROSS SECTION OF GREENHOUSES.
between the houses the lamp was hung,
and the arc was six feet above the near
est glass. The lamp was hung in front
of a large blackened sheet iron screen,
which. in connection with the partition
in the house and a series of curtains,
completely excluded the light from the
compartment behind the lamp.
By moving the screen to the other side
of the lamp and rearranging the cur
tains all the light could be thrown into
the other compartment. This change was
made during the experiment. The lamp
was attached to an ordinary street light
ing system and it seldom burned after
II o'clock, while it often ran but an hour
or two and on moonlight nights not at
all. The lighted house was exposed to
sunlight during the day, and in addition
received this small and varying amount
of electric light. The other, or so called
dark house, was lighted by sun during
the day and received no light at night.
The lamp carried clear glass globe, SO
that the light passed through two panes
of glass-the globe and the roof-before
reaching the plants.
The main crop was lettuce, which was
greatly benefited by electric light. Rad
ishes were also benefited, but not to a
great extent. Caulidowers grew taller
than in ordinary conditions and made
fewer and smaller heads. violets and
daisies bloomed earlier. Tomatoes, Gu
cumbers and beans failed to show any
effect from the light. Plants benefited
simply grew more rapidly during the
customary period. Professor Bailey is
convinced that the electric light may be
used to advantage in forcing some plants

A VEAL rhiY BAREFOOT BOY.

A Physicians Son Who Goes Stockingless
Summer and Winter.
The Indignation Of the passengers on
western Maryland railroad train was
somewhat unnecessarily excited near.
Baltimore by the unusual spectacle of a
richly clad boy Of five or six years,
whose legs and feet were perfectly bare,
although the winter morning was cold
one. The child was accompanied by his
mother and sister, both of whom were
richly dressed, and the sudden conclu-
sion was formed by the passengers that
the family had spent SO much money in
wraps, dresses and coverings for the bod
les and shoulders Of the elders that moth
ing had been left wherewith to provide
a protection from the inclesnency Of the
weather for the boys extremities.
The appearance and conduct of the
three, which indicated culture, wealth
and, on the part of the mother, parental
solicitude for the welfare Of her off
spring, and on the part of the boy per-
feet content and comfort and apparent
obliviousness to the fact that his feet and
ankles were bare, hardly seemed to &C
cord with the hastily formed suspicion
of the curious spectators. On inquiry it
was ascertained that the boy was the son
of prominent physician who had lost
one child after another with throat dis
eases until he hit upon the idea OF turn
ing his children out barefooted, as chill
dren went before stockings and shoes,
which retain the moisture of the foot and
the moisture of the ground, were in
vented.
The physicians experiment proved to
be perfect success. The barefooted boy
was the picture of health. At Union
station he ran up the cold boards and ice
covered bricks laughing and singing and
totally unaware of any discomfort. By
adopting the barefoot method the Mary
land physician has succeeded in raising a
family of healthy boys and girls. Win
ter and summer his children of both
sexes have gon0 shoeless and stocking
less. People look on with curiosity and
amazement, but the doctor is perfectly
satisfied with the results.
Indian mothers made their babies
hardy by plunging them In the ice COW
cred streams. Physicians of today say
that the best remedy for cold feet is t.
plunge them into cold water. The
warmth, comfort and exhilaration which
come from the attraction of the blood to
the extremities exceed any physical de-
light to be extracted from toasting ones
toes at the open fire, the register or the
steam radiator. It seems to be Mother
Natures way of teaching us that we
must endure before we enjoy and that
the greatest joy comes through endur-
ance.-Baltimor American.

The Blue Color of the sky,

The blue color of the sky is probably
merely the color of the air seen through
D length of about forty-five miles. It has
been observed by those who have as
cended about five miles above the earth's
surface that the sky appears of dark,
inky hue, owing to the very small reflec-
ton and dispersion of the light, while
the blue color no longer appears above,
but below them Similarly the blue
color of distant hills is owing to the
same cause. Del Nicer believed that
were it possible for a man to ascend to a
height of ten miles he would find him
self in total darkness, even though it
were bright MONDAY on the earth below
him.-St. Louis Republic.
The Portland daily press., 1893-01-13

The son graduated at Columbian coli
lege, Washington. and afterward en-
tered the Virginia Military institute at
Lexington, where the breaking out of the
war found him. With ten others out of
the graduating class he enlisted In the
Confederate army as second lieutenant
and went with Stonewall jackson to
Richmond. Later he went to Harper's
Ferry and drilled volunteers
After the first battle of Manassas he
was made adjutant general in Wllcox's
brigade, where he served until the bat
ties around Richmond, when he was
assigned with General jackson again,
who made him chief of ordnance Of D.
FL. Hills division. His highest rank was
captain. He came to Kansas at the close
of the war and was employed by the
Union Pacific road as division engineer.
Later he took charge OF the Delaware
Indian lands for the same company,
finally purchasing 500 acres of the reser-
walton and settling on it. For the past
sixteen years he has been engaged in
farming and stock raising.
He is q breeder of short horn cattle,
and for several years his sales have av-
eraged higher than those Of any other
breeder in the United States He has the
largest herd of cattle of his variety in ex-
istence. Last spring, at his sale in Chi
cago. his Scotch short horn calves aver
aged 1856 each. He went abroad in May
1892, to strGy the cattle question. He
has exported good many cattle.
His farm is near Linwood station,
Kan, twenty-six miles south of Leaven-
worth and eleven miles east of Law
renee. He lived in Lawrence twelve
years and was elected president of tlis
city council there. E. W. HOWE.

Winter Pears.


Winter pears are easily grown and
some of them keep as well as apples. We
find in midwinter in the eastern markets
the Anjou. Bose, Dana's Horey and the
like alongside with Lawrence, Nelis
and other strictly winter varieties. Still
it is important to recognize distinct
difference, and thisNis in favor of the
winter kinds which retain their flavor,
as do not the fall varities with prolonged
keeping. W. G. Strong tells us, in Amer
can Gardening, that he picks his winter
pears late as practicable, stores them in
bushel boxes and places them in a cool,
rather moist cellar. If the temperature
can be maintained near freezing point
the Lawrence may be kept through
January and the Josephine into May.

A KANSAS CONGRESSMAN.
He Is an Ex-Confederate and Has a Va
ried Record.

He Is an Ex-Confederate and Has Va
ried Record.
The most remarkable incident in the
recent remarkable election in Kansas
was the selection of William A. Harris,
an ex-Confederate soldier, as congress
man at large His opponent was George
7. Anthony former governor of the
state. who served in the army of the
north. but in spite of this fact Mr.. Har-
ris received larger vote than any other
candidate on the winning ticket
He was nominated for the place during
his absence in Europe and did not hear
of it until his return There were 274
ex-Union soldiers in the convention that
nominated him. and every one OF them
insisted on seconding the nomination.
He was the candidate of the Peoples
party Mr.. Harris Joined the first ALI
ance organized in Leavenworth county,
Kan, in 1890, but previous to that time
had been Democrat. He says even
now that he is practicing an advanced
form of Democracy.
He is the first ex- Confederate elected to
congress or any other important office in
the west or north. but there have been
two cases in New York. Roger A. Pryor
and John R. Fellows. An ex-Confeder-
ate was elected to congress from Indiana
on Republican ticket.
The south, however, has been more
liberal. Adelbert Ames, who was
brigadier general from Massachusetts
and a son-in-law of Ben Butler, was
elected governor and senator by Missis-
sippi. Gilbert C. Walker, colonel of a
New York regiment, was elected gov
ernor and senator by Virginia Arkansas
also elected northern army man gov
ernor this year. and similar cases have
been quito common in Kentucky and
Missouri
Mr.. Harris was born in Loudoun
county, Va, Oct 20. 1841. His ances-
tors for 200 years have been farmers in
Virginia. His father was a member OF
congress and afterward minister to Bue-
nos Ayres under Polk and Taylor. The
son lived there four years with his IA
ther-from his eighth to his twelfth
year Afterward the elder Harris was
printer to the senate under Buchanan.

Electric Lighting.

People have but very obscure idea Of
FeA9 principle of the arc and incandescent
lamps respectively. In the arc lamp cleo
trio discharges take place between two
pieces of hard conducting carbon, sepa-
rated from each other by an. interval
which is kept as nearly as possible con,
slant by automatic devices An arc o.
light of intense brilliance. called the
voltaic arc, is thus obtained. In the glow
or incandescent lamp flament OF car
bon inclosed in a globe exhausted OF all
by mercury pump serves as path
along which the current passes. The re-
sistance the electricity meets with IN
passing through this flament is sufficient
to raise the latter to incandescence. and
light is thus obtained more suitable for
the illumination Of interiors generally.

The orchid House in winter.

Keep the temperature between 40 and
45 dogs. and the surface moist. The
management of the cool orchid house in
winter is very easy. The temperature
can easily be maintained, and the plants
need but little attention if perfect venti-
lation is provided night and day. By
perfect ventilation is meant that cur
rent of air should continually filter
through among the hot water pipes
from what is termed hit and miss venti-
Iators in the front wall.

Kent county will save Si3 600 a wear nv

ton Senator Moss says. 'sThe courtv
commissioners of Anne Arundel county
should at once appoint a committee OF
our citizens, together with a committee
from their own body TO visit Kent coun-
~ and investigate the workings of Kent's
new system. Remember that the roads
cost $50 600 last year In Anne Arundel
county. Ii they are given out 10 the
lowest responsible bidders this year and
the bidding Is lively as 1t was In Kent
county, roads in this county can be kept

The local road law of this county makes
ample provisions for giving the repair.
Ing OF roads out by contract. IL need

Naval Notes.

Captain Wiltse, who commanded the
cruiser Boston during the Hawaiin trou =
BILE, called on Secretary of the Navy Her
bert Yesterday. He refused TO talk about
his conference with the Secretary.
Secretary of the Navy Herbert has an :
nounced the name of the new naval al.
tache to Rome. Lieut. Chas 4 Vree-
land, now commanding the coast survey
steamer Blake will succeed Lieut. Nathan
Sargent, who at present holds the desir-
ed billet. Lieut.. Sargent has been on
his present duty over three years and has
rendered valuable services to the Navy
Department In securing information on
naval subjects. The attache to Rome
also looks out for all naval matters at
Berlin and Vienna that may interest his
government The office IL much sought
after by young officers. Heretofore the
most important requisite TO commend an
officer for the detail has been social pull
and little more money than his pay,
but In Lieut., Vreeland's case the detail
was made purely upon his merit and at.
tachments.
