VEGETABLE HOSPITAL.


partmcnt of Agriculture.
A hospital under the care of Prof. B.
T. Galloway, chief of the division of
vegetable pathology, has been estab-
lished by the department of agricul-
ture of the United States government
for the treatement of sick plants. Dis
eases affecting plants and vegetables,
as well as remedies, are investigated.
The work will not only benefit farmers,
but all lovers of flowers. A violet plant
was placed under a glass jar, where it
was provided with only poor ventila-
ton. Germs of disease known to be
injurious to the plant were mixed with
wa+er and sprayed upon it. Soon large
yellow spots appeared upon the leaves.
After the jar was removed the patient
rapidly recovered, showing that the
germs would have had no effect had the
air in which the plnnt grew been fresh.
The plants in a row of young corn are
given water IN different quantities,
mixed with certain proportions Of
salts, as found in natural soil When
certain strengths of salt are added the
little mouths of the hairlille tubes of
the roots through which the plants
drink become so badly puckered that
the plants starve. Plants growing in
salt marshes and by the seaside are sup
piled with larger mouths. BY testing
the amount of salt In his soil the farm
er can ascertain how healthy his corn
is likely to be. Prof. Galloway is await
ing results from some very interesting
experiments with the germs of wheat
rust. Inter Ocean.

Noemi Saumon, middle-aged woman
arrested for shoplifting in Paris, went
off in fit when she arrived at the
station, and an inspector tried to re-
vive her by applying smelling salts to
her nose. The woman remained in a
state of coma, and showed no signs
of returning to consciousness. Then
the inspector tweaked her by the nose,
and, TO his horror, that organ came off
in his hand, being made OF papier
mache.
