Whatever electricity may eventually

there is little doubt. One OF these IL
Its readiness to take short cuts, and
run to ground" at the slightest op-
portunity, instead Of continuing along
the conducting wire, and finishing the
work intended for 1t. The greatest
care has therefore to he taken in insu-
hitting wire; that is, covering It with
some material which is q bud c0nduc-
tor OF electricity and will prevent its
escape. From badly insulated wire
the electricity will leak out just az
surely as water will leak out of q nine
full of holes. Az water Ii sometimes

tricity is now employed, especially for
transmission over long distances, and
with the consequent heavy strain
comes the need for insulating material
Of the highest efficiency. Gutta-percha
has been one Of the insulating MAIN
stays Of the electric engineer, but dis
quteting rum0rs have been for some
time prevalent as. to the coming fair,
ure of the supply. Good news now
comes from Sarawak. II. Hourant, q
French clutch merchant In that city,
Inns discovered that gutta-percha can
be extracted from the dried leaves Of
the dried leaves Of the gutta tree. The
old native plan, which threatened to
ruin the industry, was to cut down q
tree to obtain the sap. A tree 80 years
of age would give only one 'scatty" OF
pure dry gutta; the same quantity Is
now obtained from two pluckings Of
the leaves. These pluckings are said
not to injure the tree, which goes ON
seeding and reproducing its species.
The million Of trees already cut down,
and apparently destroyed by the ma
tive gutta hunters, which now come
into service as their stumps hive
sprouted out much as an osier does,
and although the shoots are too small
to produce gutta their leaves are az
good for the purpose Us those Of an
adult tree.

seedle.. or.n...

1t has often been stated in recen.
essay by prominent horticultural,
that seedless grapes are produced by
growing a plant from cuttings for sew
eral successive generations. The
theory Is, that plant becomes accus-
toned to this mode of propagation,
and then the natural process Of pro-
ducing seeds becomes abortive by dis
use. While those of wide experience
may smile at this speculation, It is
really ono on which many scientific
men differ, That there is no ground
whatever for believing that seedless
grapes Gun be produced in this way.
IL evident from tho case of the red
current of our gardens. This has been
continuously proI,ogated by cuttings
from tile time when the Romans had
sway in England; and yet, as is well
known, 1t produces seeds us freely to-
day, us IL 1t had been raised contin-
uously from seeds for 1000 years. Just
how nature does produce the seedless
grapes is not yet well known; and the
honest answer to the question as to
how the seetlless grapes are produced
would be to shy. that eve don't
