MAGICAL GROWTH OF PLANTS.
A French Scientist Says 1t Can BE Brought
Out by Formic Acid.

A French scientist, NJ. Ragonneau, has
just discovered how to make plant grow
from the seed In 80 minutes as much as 1t
would under ordinary circumstances In as
many days. Heretofore nature has shared
this secret with the Yoghis of India alone,
and the methods pursued by these clever
magicians in performing this trick have
been often described. They plant a seed
in the earth and cover it with cloth In
. few moments the cloth begins to be
pushed upward by the growing plant,
which, In short time, attains the height
OF several feet. Various theories have been
advanced as to the modus operandi of this
miracle, one of the latest being that the
spectators are all hypnotized by the ma
gician.
During his travels In India NJ Ragon-
neau saw this trick performed frequently
and noticed that the Hindoos always i'm
bedded the seed in soil which they brought
with them especially for that purpose. At
last he learned that. they obtained this
earth from ant hills. Now, as every one
knows who has inadvertently eaten one Of
these industrious insects ants contain q
large proportion Of formic atid, with which
in time the soil OF their habitations be-
comes charged. This acid has tho power
Of quickly dissolving the integument sur
rounding seed and Of greatly stimulating
the growth of the germ within.
After little experimenting with this
acid the learned Frenchman was able to
duplicate perfectly the Hindoo trick. His
further researches have led him to believe
that this discovery may be profitably ap-
piled to agriculture. BY infusing ants in
boiling water acid as strong as vinegar can
be obtained. M. Ragonneau has achieved
the best results and most perfect growth
by using earth moistened with solution
OF 5000 parts Of water to one of acid
