Observation-Disclosures.


tion has issued an interesting bulletin
on Electro-H orticulture with incandes-
cent lamps. The experiments were con-
Quoted in green houses and comparisons
were made at different stages of growth
with plants in house not lighted, and
which were put in at the same time and
given the same cultivation.
In the experiments with lettuce the
plants in light house showed an average
height of 13 inches, while those in the
dark house-the one not supplied with
electric ights-showed an average height
of only 10 inches.
The experiments with caulitiower
were not so satisfactory, as it
was evident that the constant light
had a tendency to make the flow
ers struggling, and those taken from the
dark house were heavier and more COM
pact.
Very little effect was shown on beets
and radishes, but on peas the light had
the effect of forcing the plants ahead of
those in the dark house, and the pods
filed quicker and were larger.
Prof. Bailey, in recapitulating, says:
1t is impossible to draw many def
Eite conclusions from the above re-
searches. The many conflicting and
indefinite results indicate that the
problems vary widely under different
conditions and with different plants.
Yet there are few points which are
clear: The electric light promotes as
similation, it often hastens growth and
maturity, it is capable of producing
natural f1avors and colors in fruits, it
often intensifes colors of flowers and
flowers. The experiments show that
periods of darkness are not necessary to
the growth and development of plants.
There is every reason, therefore, to sup
pose that the electric light can be profit
ably used in the growing of plants. 1t
is only necessary to overcome the diff

furious influences upon plants near the
light, the too rapid Fastening Of maturity
in some spec les, and in short, the whole
series of practical adjustments of con-
ditions to individual circumstances.
Thus far, to be sure, we have learned
more of the injurious effects than of the
beneficial ones, but this only means
that we are acquiring definite facts con-
corning the whole influence of electric
light upon vegetation; and in some
cases, notably in our lettuce tests, the
light has already been found to be
useful adjunct to forcing establish
mentS.
The experiments suggest many phys
Illogical speculations upon which it is
not the province of this bulletin to en-
ter Yet two or three of them may be
mentioned. 1t is a common notion that
plants need rest at night, but this is not
true in the sense in which animals need
rest. Plants have simply adapted them
selves to the conditions of alternating
daylight and darkness, and during the
day they asslmilate or make their food
and during the night, when, perforce,
assimilation must cease, they use the
food in growth. They simply practice

selves.-Na;chitoches, La. Populist,
For idiotic twaddle the above exceeds
the usual shallow and self complacent ut
terances to be found in the Populist from
week to week. II the writer of that rot
knows anything at all, he knows that the
two old parties Gas designated by their
very names) are at eternal opposition and
war with each other. and never can, and
never will, combine on political methods.
Republicanism represents the idea of
Capitalization and government by repre-
sentation, while Democracy represents
that other dangerous idea of @mobocracy, :"
where the people rule directly and with
out intermediate and responsible repre-
sentation. Separate and apart they are
both dangerous. but. acting as checks
one on the other, they serve to maintain
the fundamental principles upon which
the very government itself is based.
Mr.. Wells sends us a note with the
above extracts, and, begging pardon for
trespassing 30 much on our space, states
that his grandfather cleared away the
canebrake where Alexandria now stands.
and that his father now sc years old, was
born within ten miles of the place, while
his mother, now 70 years oil. was born In
that town, land both are now livingl and
he himself, now 60 years old, was also
born in Alexandria, "while this editor (of
the Populist) is from, God knows where,
and. carpet bag in hand. attempts to
drive genuine natives to the wall with
Anarchist doctrines" while as to color he
would much prefer friend with a black
outside to one With white outside and
black inside"
As Bro. Brian appears to be greatly in
terested in the controversy between Mr..
Wells and the Demands, we refer him to
another communication in this issue,
from which we trust he may be able to
obtain some benefit, even if it does not
comfort him. We would also state for
our neighbours information that the editor
OF the Demands knows a good thing
when be sees il, and recognizes the worth
OF these articles, and solicited this one
for publication this week, but the writer
preferred to print it in these columns.

Unexpected orders have been recelvJ

ordered the cutter laid up for 80 days
to effect necessary repairs. The work
had been fairly commenced when
orders came to suspend operations and

have been actuated by the refusal OF

United States government to communi-

arrangements should other cutters seize
