SECRET or THE MANGO TRICK.
A French Scientist Discovers How the
Yoghis Work Their Greatest Wonder.


French scientist, NJ. Ragonneau. has just
discovered how TO make plant grow from q
seed In thirty minutes as much as IL would
under ordinary circumstances In as many days.
Heretofore nature has shared this secret with
the Yoghis of India alone, and the methods pur
sued by these clever magicians in performing
this trick have often been described. They
plant seed in the earth and cover it with
a cloth. In a few moments the cloth begins to
be pushed upward by the growing plant, which
in n short time attalns the height OF several
feet. Various theories have been advanced as
to the modus operandi OF this miracle, one OF the
latest being that the spectators are all hypnot-
lied by the magician.
During his travels In India NJ. Ragonneau saw
this trick performed frequently, and noticed
that the HindOos always Embedded the seed in
soil which they brought with them especially
for that purpose. At last he learned that they
obtained this earth from ant hills. Now, as
every one knows who has Inadvertently eaten
one of these industrious insects, ants contain n
large proportion Of formic acid, with which In
time the soil OF their habitatiOns becomes
charged. This acid has the power OF quickly
dissolying the integument surrounding seed
and of greatly stimulating the growth OF the
germ within.
After little experimenting with this acid the
learned FrenChman was able to duplicate per-
fectly the Hindoo trick. His further researches
have led him TO believe that tins discovery may
be prohtably applied 10 agriculture. by infus-
ing ants In boiling water acid AS strong as vine
gar can be obtained. NJ. kagonneGu has
achieved the best results and most perfect
growth by using earth moistened with a solu-
tion OF 5000 parts OF water aud one OF acid.
