HOW PLANTS GAIN WEIGHT.
Their Growth in AvOrdupois Comes
Wholly from Gas in
the Air.

As far as is known the first botanical
experiment ever performed was con-
Quoted by Dutchman. lie placed in a
pot 200 pounds of dried earth. and in it
he planted a willow branch which
weighed FIVE pounds. He kept the whole
covered up and daily watered the earth
with rain water. After five years
growth the willow was again weighed
and was found to have gained 164
pounds. The earth in the pot was cried
and weighed and had lost only two
ounces. SIS
Thee1perimentalisf. therefore. looked
upon this experiment as supporting the
theory that plants required no food but
water. But he was wrong. Later it
was discovered that much Of the in
crease in weight Of plants was derived
from carbonic acid gas in the air.
Vegetable cells contain LIQUID
known as 'cell sap" which is water
holding in solution various materials
which have been taken up from with
out by the roots and leaves. Thus it is
in the living cells Of the plant that
those digestive" processes are carried
on which were once believed to occur
in the soil

Washington, d. C., Sept. 20.
There were two important de
velopments in connection with
affairs in China today. One was
the receipt by the state depart
ment late this afternoon of n cable
gram from Counsul General Good
now at Shanghai, stating that
Sheng, Chinese Director of Rail
ways and Telegraphs, had handed
him a decree OF the Emperor and
Empress, dated Taignan, Septem-
Der 25, blaming their ministers
for encouraging the Boxers.
The second was the announce
ment by Mr.. Hill, acting Secre-
t,ry of state, that the instructions
of this government to Minister
Conger we're forwarded TO Pekin

Long Service ms Counsel.

John Fowler, the United States con
sui at Chefoo, China, has been in the
government service ever since reaching
manhood-for p years. Beginning in
1872 as a clerk in the Washington navy
yard, where he stayed two years. he
was later transferred to the Talla-
poosa and stayed on her till she was
wrecked in 1855. Ten years ago he
was appointed consul at Ning-Poo by
President Harrison, whence he was
transferred to Chefoo by President
Cleveland in 1896.

perhaps, hastened in ITS action by
the recent manifestation Of dissat-
isfaction by the United States
Government at the reported pro
motion of Prince Tuan already
has begun the punIshmens of him
and the other Chinese leaders who
are held guilty.
IMPERIAL CLAN COURT,
There are five other members
of the court, all of them high per-
sonages. they occupy building
at Pekin, and are in regular Sc S
sion for the trial of cases affect
ing members Of the nobility and
the highest personages. Chinese
officials here say that the refer
ence of the case to the high court
is, of itself, the fullest assurance
of the gravity with which the
thrope regards the matter.

CoNGER's INSTRUCTIONS.

CONGER'S INSTRUCTIONS.
1t is the intention of the officials
to keep secret the instructions
sent to Minister Conger until such
time as developments shall war
rant their publicity. State De-
partment officials believe that an
agreement can be effected with the
powers, and that negotiations may
be entered into without delay.
The instructions to Minister
Congerare understood to contain
the following stipulations:
1. That Prince Tuan be re
moved from office and some one
acceptable to the powers be ap-
pointed in his place.
,. That Minister Conger rep
resents the United States as a
plenipotentiary, and has no con
nection whatever with mediation
for China.
3. That any reasonable pre-
gramme outlined by a majority of
the powers, the stipulations to be
less severe than those of Germany,
may be accepted by Mr.. Conger.
4. That in the event of a con-
tinued disagreement among the
powers and China, Minister Cong
er Is to proceed to negotiate with
Earl Ii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching solely with'regard to Amer
lean interests, and with a view TO
determining the attitude of the
United States as to future action.
AMERICAN WARNING HEEDED.
The Chinese Government had
taken this intimahon to heart, and

this morning The advices from
Consul General Goodnow are to
the effect that China goes further
than merely issuing an edit de
nunciatory of the Boxer leaders.
The edict orders the degradation
of four Princes, and deprives
Prince Tuan Of his salary and
official servants, and directs that
he be brought for trial before the
imperial clan court.
