ELECTRICITY AND VEGETATION.

From The London Times
Professor :. Lemstroms paper before the British
Association described experiments on The Action
OF Electricity on Growing Plants" After brief
sketch OF previous experiments on the subject made
I'm 1855 and 1856 he referred the researches which
with the friendly assistance OF the proprietor. Baron
Edouard Hsinger. Three fields OF fifty metres were
used for the experiments and three OF the same
area as control fields In general. there was found
an Increase In the seeds of at least ~ per cent; in
the roots from % per cent to 10 per cent, depend
ing on the kind OF plant and Oh the nature OF the
soil: I'm beans, 10 per cent; In STRAWBERRIES and
their rpenng being shortened by at least one-third.
The experiment proved among other things. that
electricity given to plants during days with clear
burning sun might damage them very much II
enough water was not also given at the same timo.
Discussing in what way electricity exerted an In
fuence on plants. the author said that either the
gases In the air were transformed 10 and
nitric oxides which. being heavy fell down upon
the plants and increased the activity Of their vege
tatlon or the electricity induced the juices Of the
plants 10 ascend more rapidly In their capillary
tubes (the Gernez phenomenon). Though much has
yet TO be explained the method Is ready TO be used
for practical purposes. The author this summer
carried out experiments In Finland some espe-
cially interesting plants. OF these the tobacco

want OF water. Photographs OF the experimental
and the control field. which watered 70 the

both folds. and showed that under the influence Of
the current the results nj least 10 per cent bet
