Lippincott's Magazine for August, 1897,

The complete novel in the August
issue of LiPbine0tt'S is 1.-TWO Daugh-
tiers OF One Race" by Edgar Fawcett.
1t is a domestic tale of love and
blindness, with single hero, and two
heroines whose characters are in
marked contrast. Its well-known
author has done no better work.
"Private Barney Hogan" by Lieu
tenant Charles Dudley Rhodes, and
1.-TWO Letters" by Frances M. Butler,
are brief and pointed army stories,
the latter relating pathetic incident
of the civil war.
The other contents of this number
cover in small space a wide variety of
topics. Frank H. Sweet writes with
full knowledge of "Bird Artists" and
Joanna r. Nichols of "The Marine
Hospital Service" sour Street
Names" are discussed by William
Ward Crane. DR.. A. L. Benedict
inquiries, "Are You going to College'"
and gives reasons why you should-if
you are young enough and adequately
prepared. M. A. De Wolfe Howe
medltates on "a Similitude of Ships"
Singing: its Past and its Possiblll-
ties" is considered by Gertrude f.
Wall. By "The Charm of the Inexact,"
DIR. Charles c. Abbott intends that
conversational looseness of epithet
and statement to which our poor
humanity is prone.
Annie Steger Winston declares that
"The Book which has most Benefited
Me" was the school reader of her
infancy. Jonathan Hale's Book
rescued from oblivion by Edith Dick
son, was sombre, not to say grue-
some work, of the sort by which
juvenile piety was sought to be pro-
noted in and about A. D. 1884. Our
children are differently provided for
nowadays.
The poetry of the number, all brief,
is by Lillian Plunkett Ferguson,
Preston Cooke Farrar, and Robert
Gilbert Welsh.

Forcing Plants with Ether.

Attention is being attracted to the
use of ether and chloroform vapors as
forcing agents. 1t has been shown by
a number of investigators that the va
por of chloroform or ether has mark
ed effect upon the respiration of a
plant, increasing it in some cases to
a marked degree, as explained by
Professor Galloway. Increasing tine
respiration simply means that the
plant is being made to do more work
than normal. He says: "It must be
remembered, however, that in doing
this the plant is living beyond its
means, and sooner or later there must
be reckoning which may prove dis
astrous. The plant responds to the
ether treatment just as it would to
any other irritating influence, and the
effect in the end must be the same as
when an extra stimulus is present
namely, increased energy for the time,
followed by collayse and death if the
matter is carried far enough. In
cases Of bulbs and woody plants,
