A Living Vase.

The process Of ornamenting vases with
living green Is by no means new; but as
very many OF our readers may not know
how It is done. we give the representati-v
Of living vase. with directions for
plicating it, that appeared recently in I
Southern Cultivator. :.
Any sort Of vase may be employed. bu,
those of unglazed terra cott: are prefer!
able. being porous. In such vessels the.
water with which the vase is filled perco-
lates constantly through the sides and
moistens the plants which are fixed on Its
surface. This kind Of vase Is, however,
not indispensable. for we can ornament
all kinds. whether In glass or metal In
the latter case 1t Is necessary to prepare
the surface 80 as to convert 1t into sort
Of soil. which it really represents-an
operation which Is easily managed by the
aid of a piece Of cloth or flannel which Is
fixed by means of a little pack thread or
thin iron or brass wire. This being un.
de:stood. the means employed to grow
the seed must next be described.
II 9 porous vase be used 1t Is filed with
water or. better still, left in O pail Of wa
ter tn soak. After lapse Of twenty four
hours. when the water has thoroughly
saturated the vase, 1t Is laid on its side,
and the seed sprinkled slightly over the
surface. taking care to tnrn the vase In
different directions, in order that the
whole surface may be well covered with
seed. This operation terminated, the vase
Is placed In adark closet for some time,
and, If possible. under glass frame, so
as to preserve humidity and facilitate
termination. II a non n-porous vase. after
having we'll soaked the cloth which covers
1t, the seed Is sown upon 1t and the same
care is given as has already been indicated.
When porous vase Is used 1t should be
kept constantly full. as it Is the water FL
tering slowly through it that feeds the
plants which cover the sides. If that be
insufficient to insure vigorous growth.
the vase must be watered, taking care to
pour the water cautiously, SO as not 10
detach the plants. II glazed or metal
vases be used. glass bottles. for instance.
they must be constantly watered; the
water should be poured from the top over
all, 30 that, In descending. 1t vets all
parts Of the cloth. which should always
be damp. Whenever the plants droop
they must be refreshed by watering them
The vase should stand in n
saucer or plate.

STEAMSHIP PARIS DELAYED.

Proceeding to Southampton Under One
 Engine-Message from Her Captain
 Brought by the Furst Bismarck
 General and Mrs. Merwin of New
 Haven Among the Passengers.
 New York, Oct 9.-Captain A. Albers of the Hamburg American liner Furst Bismarck, which arrived here at 2 this morning, brought word that he passed the Paris of the American line yesterday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock in latitude 4107 and longiture 6605, with her starboard engine broken. Up- on receiving this signal Captain Albers sent life-boat and an officer to the Paris to see if she wished help, but Captain Watkins said he could proceed all right with one engine, and that he only wanted the company notified and some letters and telegrams delivered. After receiving the package the Bis marck proceeded, having stopped an hour and half.
 The mishap to the Paris occurred a short time before she signalled the Bis- marck. She left here last Wednesday, passing the bar at 11:45 a. m. At the office of the American line it was said to-day that they had received word only that the shafts of the starboard engine were broken. General Manager Griscom said the Paris could travel fourteen to fifteen knots an hour with one engine, and both he and Vice Pres ident Wright said the delay in reaching Southampton would be slight.
