The new tariff law presents
its compliments to its trainers
on their return to Washington
with an evidence of steady growth
in earnings. They were in Au-

That is a steady, healthful
growth, which indicates that
long before its first year has
ended it will be producing the
promised surplus.

Colonel A. j. Percy, of Green

experience Of receiving the
money on debt which had been
made SO long ago that he had
forgotten it and had destroyed
the account. A Methodist min

provisions from him to the
amount of twelve dollars on
credit. One day last week he re.
ceived a registered letter for
twelve dollars to pay the debt.

The San Francisco call., 1897-05-30

%Little did We dream when in January, 1896,
we nrst suggested the idea of forming
Woman's Whist League to one of the leading
women whisters who was then in Brooklyn
that the bud would so soon blossom. Those
that we looked upon as favorable TO such an
idea threw cold water upon it, but, like
banquo's ghost, it wouldn't down, and to-day
1t is living reality. The little flame that was
klndled soon spread. and the Trist Club OF
Philadelphia, with Mrs 7. II. Andrews st its
heao, set the wheels again IN motion, ana bV
her indomitsble pluck and energy succeeded
IN accomplishing what otherwise might have
proved failure
TO the ladies of the Pacific Coast no little
credit is due. California was the first Stale IN
the Union TO admit ladies in their whist CLUBS
with the same rights AMI privileges as men
ana for that reason and others we are pleased
TO give to the whist world the porualls ol
many Of the leading whist experts among the
gentler sex who firmly believe and agree win
Eug enc S. Elliott, father and founder OF the
American Whist League, that the training
schools of whist-players should conthue 10 oe
our homes, where our wives ana daughters
reign supreme, and where their ennopnng
and refining influence can best be e1erteo-

that termination was much accelerated.
Two lots of twelve groups containing liz
seeds each were soaked in water until
thoroughly moistened and while wet
placed in glass cylinders opened at either
end. Copper disks which were connected
with the poles of an induction coil were
pressed against the seeds and current
passed through them for one or two mln-
utes. After this the seeds were sown, the
tenn mperature being kept at As to so de-
grees The result was an increase of
growth in the seeds to which electricity
was applied over the seeds not subjected
to the experiment. OF 30 per cent.
The objects of this experiment were
threefold: First, TO determine whether
the seed germ responded in any way when
subjected to electrical influences; second
should there be any visible action, to de-
termine whether it was injurious or bene-
fetal; third, to determine the effects of
different strengths of current. 1t was
found that with apparatus within the
reach of almost every grower the use OF
electricity may prove of great service in
the termination OF small seeds, which
under ordinary conditions start very
slowly.
In the selection OF terminating pans for
this work two chief points were taken into
consideration: First, that the normal or
untreated seeds should have exactly the
same environment as those treated, aside
from the conditions brought about by the
application OF electricity; second, that the
conditions for termination should be as
favorable as possible-that is, that there
should be the proper amount OF heat, air
and moisture to give the best possible con-
ditions.
The form of apparatus used in these ex-
periments consisted of two plates, an
outer one of porcelain about nine inches
in diameter and an inner of clay seven
inches in diameter. Within the inner
plate filtered paper is placed, upon which
The San Francisco call., 1897-05-30

the seeds are sown. In the outer plate
constant supply of water was kept, which
gradually passed through the plate OF
porous clay, keeping the filter paper
within constantly moist. The seeds were
sown upon the filter paper, which was
divided into eight equal parts. Seven OF
these were used for the treated seeds,
while the eighth was for the normal, or
untreated seeds.
A second piece OF moist filter paper was
placed over the seeds, resting upon them
and touching at various points the paper
beneath. In this manner the coverings
were kept moist by absorption. In order to
insure perfect darkness a piece of black
card board was placed over the pan in such
a manner as to shut out the light but not
to prevent free circulation OF air. The
moist filter paper which constituted the
covering OF the seeds offered but little OBJ
struction to growth.
The batteries used in the experiments
were of two kinds. namely, four Lelanche
cells. arranged in series, giving an electro
motive force OF from four to FIVE volts, and
two No. / Samson cells giving an electro
motive force of $500 volts. Had long
peIlOuS Ol tTcdtmcIt bcCu u03lISu RT6Vity
cells would have answered the purpose
much better. But as the current was
never used for more than five minutes at
a time ana then the battery allowed
period of rest. no difficulty was expert
enced from its running down, and q CON-
paratively constant strength of current
could be obtained.
The great advantage gained by using
the sal ammoniac battery is the ease with
which it may be setAup and renewed when
exhausted. In order that a large varia-
tion in electo- motive force could be OBJ
tanned an induction coil was employed
that was a form of the RuhmKorff appara.
tus. In some of the experiments hourly
treatment was desired. This was accom-.
plished by passing the wires from the bat.
terry to an electric clock and thence to an
induction machine. Eich hour the clock
formed connection, completing the cir
cult, and q current was passed through for
period OF about thirty seconds
The San Francisco call., 1897-05-30

The result of the experiments showed
that electricity exerts an appreciable in
fuence upon the termination of seeds;
that the application of certain strengths
OF current to seeds for short periods of
time accelerates the process of germina-
ton. Those lots of seeds receiving cleo
trical stimulation gave higher percent
age OF termination than the normal. The
range in the strength of current which
accelerates termination is exceedingly
limited. Seeds subjected to but one ap-
plication OF electricity show the effect for
only few hours. Electricity when ap-
Piled hourly to terminating seeds or grow
ing plants does not lose it's effect, but acts
as a constant stimulation TO their growth
and DEVELOPMENT.
George E. Stone, botanist of the Agri-
cultural College, says Of these expert
ments: II know OF no experiments along
this line in which numerous measure

ments and com PARSONS OF large number
of treated and normal plants placed un-
der exactly similar conditions have been
made. All experlmenters, however, have
not been able to obtain positive results by
the use OF electricity. It can readily be
seen from the results of Mr.. Kinney's ex-
periments that many of the negative re-
suits often reported can be accounted for
by the fact that the strength of current
which accelerates termination and
growth is quite limited, and consequently
q current which did not come within this
limit would have no effect.
"Thess experiments, as well as many
subsequent ones, show conclusively that
electricity, when properly applied, accel-
crates termination and growth, and,
furthermore, that experiments have pro-
gressed far enough to show that in many
respects electricity acts similarly to light
in its stimulating effect"
