4 An interestiEg 1opee was read BY
Professor Lunstiom Of Sweden before
the British association at its recent
meeting describing experiments made
ON growing plants through the action
Of electricity. The trials were continued
for more than q month and extended
over l6l hours in midsummer. The cur.
rent was applied for four hours in the
morning and four in the Afternoon. On
q general average there was found to be
an increase Of their seeds during this
perio4 Of experiment of 40 per cens and
in the roots Of from IS to ~ per cent.
the latter increase being in beans, traw-
berries, and raspberries. The time Of
ripening was shortened fully. one-thlrd.

Professor Lunstrom believed that either
the gases in the air we're transformed
to ozone or nitrous oxides, which, being

the activity Of their vegetation or that
the electricity induced the juices Of the
plants to circulate more rapidly through
the capillary tubes. 1t was claimed that
the method was ready to be carried into

The Mt Of taking stains out Of wash

one to remove unsightly spots on gar.
ments that seemed hopelessly spoiled.
Calico, or the cambria. goods which
have generally succeeded it in uEe, ID
often faded in washing by soap which
contains proportion Of soda or some
powerful alkali. There are certain pat
ent starches that show by their action
ON delicate cadet blues and greens that
they contain an injurious alkali. 49,
The best treatment for material that
has been faded with an alkali is to dip
II carefully in a weak bath of vinegar
and water, rinse it we'll and iron it
smooth ut once. It will require little
experimenting to ascertain exactly how
strong an acid bath il require to neu-
trali2e any given alkali stain. It is
more difficult to neutralize the acid
stains, because they are in spots, and
the parts Of the garment which have
not been stained will suffer if exposed
to the treatment of moderately strong
alkai soap. Where the color has been
bleached out by the sun there is moth
ing that will restore it.
Iron rust stains, which seem to be
one of the most indelible, are easily
drawn out Of white goods with lemon
Juice. salt and strong sunlight. Satu:
Pate the spots with lemon juice. Spread
the salt thickly over them, after laying
them where the strongest sunlight will
shine upon them for at least six hours
Take up the stained goods at the end OF
this time and wash them we'll. II the
spots are not entirely gone, expose
them to the sun the same manner as
before. Rub tho spots thoroughly with
soap and water to remove the lemon
Juice and salt, and the last vestige of
heavy stain of this kind will disappear
Ink stains yield to milk. Soak the article
in sweet milk and set it where the milk
will sour. After a few hours rub out
the ink stains as well as you can in the
milk. If dull vestige remains, bleach
it out on the grass. Obdurate black
stains of ink yield to this treatment,
which is so strong that it draws the
color ont Of oolored goods and can be
used only on white goods.
Almost any chemical means by which
such stains as iron rust or ink are re-
moved from goods will also remove
color. It is therefore difficult and usu-
ally useless to treat stains Of this char
acter on colored goods Stains Of tea,
which become permanent when boiled
in, are readily removed with cold water
and soap, az great many other stains
ara Coffee stains and the stains Of all
fresh fruits may be taken out with boil
ing water. Pour the water through the
stain or soak It in boiling water until
the spot disappears Wine stains are re-
moved by spreading salt over them
while damp and afterward rinsing them
out with boiling water.
