MIDDLEBOURNE, w. Va, February
8.-The protracted meeting closed this
week with long list of new members.
At the quarterly meeting Sunday, Pre-
siding Elder Cammeron's lecture on
Old Saws Reset was spicy and very
Instructive, showing that all Of the
old proverbs do not mean exactly what
they say,
The sick at the home of A. ]. Jem-
ison are all better. Miss Lizzie is still
housed with bad case of grip.
Mrs. George Thomas, who lives
about two miles down the creek, is
very low at this time from cancer of
the breast and stomach.
The cold snap has brought a broad
smile on the gas mans face, and fur
nished amusement to the young people
who skate. The ice on the creek is
about six inches thick and the ice
houses are all being filled.
Among the strangers within our
gates were George Dudley, the popu-
lar Wheeling drug drummer. and DR..
e. B. Conaway, of Centerville, who
attended the stockholders meeting of
the Inland Telephone Company.

this week. Report from Salem says a
corps of B. & o. engineers have sur
veyed a route from that city to Shir-
ley, this county, and are reported to
nave Marietta, Benn's Run, New Mar
tinsville in view. The right of way

SILVER.

The silver market in London was
more active this week responding to
an inquiry which seems to result from
anticipations of heavy purchases for
coinage purposes by the Indian gov
eminent. The price of bars rose from
271ad to 27s4d per ounce, and the New
York market kept pace with an ad-
vance from 597sc per ounce to 603ac.
The week closed however, with a
slight reaction in prices. Silver prices:

Which Have been In Progress at

Special TO the Register.
MORGANTOWN, W.. Va, February
THE effect of incandescent gas
light as stimulus to plant growth
has been made the subject of study
by the horticulturist at the West vir-
ginia Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, and the bulletin just issued on
that subject-No. 62-gives an ac-
count of the behavior of plants when
placed under the stimulus of this light
for various periods.
Perhaps we can not do better than
to repeat the summary as stated in
the bulletin. While it does not ex-
plain the methods employed, it sets
forth the conclusions which were ar
rived at during the course of the ex-
pertinent.
1. The incandescent gas light of the
Welsbach burner is an active stimulus
to plant growth when used at night
to supplement daylight.
2. Lettuce plants subjected to the
influence of the incandescent gas light
at night were taller and heavier than
plants of the same variety and seed
sowing grown in normal conditions.
3. That lettuce and spinach sub
jected to the stimulating influence Of
the light grew faster and completed
their growth in less time than plants
of the same sorts from the same seed
sowing grown in normal conditions
A. That no injurious effects result
ed from the use of the incandescent
gas light.
5. That the stimulating influence
of the light as indicated by the growth
of plants used in the various tests is
shown by the order in which the sorts
are named, the first being the most
usceptible-spinach, cabbage, radish,
lettuce, tomato.
6. That the range of light is some
what variable for the different crops.
In general the maximum growth was
obtained at IL to 16 feet from the
light, while a perceptible increase was
noticed at "a feet.
7. Bloom record of tomatoes shows
markedly earlier bloom in the light
house-eight days the least and eight
zen days the greatest difference.
8. That in the case of radishes top
growth was stimulated but evidently
not markedly, at the expense of root.
With sugar beets top growth was
greatly stimulated evidently at the
expense of root growth.
9. That while the roots Of beets
grown in the normal house were larger
than those in the light house, the
sugar content and the per cent purity
was markedly higher in the light
house grown beets.
10. Spinach, lettuce and radishes
all tend to make seed stalks earlier
under the light than in normal con-
ditions.
II. Lettuce and spinach under the
influence of the incandescent gas light
not only grew faster during the grow
ing period but the period was ac-
tually longer than for plants in the
normal house. See auxanometer rec
ords, pages SO to SO.

THE YELLOW PERIL,

Sir Robert Hart, the Englishman who has long been director general of the Chinese imperial customs, and who
 probably knows as much about China as any foreign devil,' doesn't under rate "the yellow peril" He says that the Boxer movement lis national and patriotic, has taken hold of the Chinese imagination, and will spread like wild- fire throughout the length and breadth of the empire" He holds that beyond any doubt fifty years hence there will be millions of Boxers in serried ranks and wars panoply at the call of the Chinese government"
 If China becomes thoroughly united and patriotic, learns how to use the best weapons, and gets the expansion notion she will be even more trouble some than she is now Those who want to divide her up now, while she can be divided, may be wise, at least for their own countries. and it is always right to "civilize and Christianize' heather.

 Another gentleman who was former ly client of mine anticipated the pneu- matic tire years before somebody else patented it. He is fond of fine horses and away back in the seventies he had a light road cart made that was almost the exact counterpart of the modern pneumatic sulky The big, clumsy looking tires excited great merriment among his friends, They dubbed them
 sausage wheels and he has told me more than once that that foolish joke was the thing that caused him to aban- don the experiment. Pneumatic tires have since made half dozen big sym dicateS rich.
 "Still another acquaintance figured out the exact mechanism of the self binding reaper nearly ten years before the machine was covered by patents. Not being a farmer, he failed to appre- ciate the importance of the thing. It impressed him as being chimerical, and he pigeon-holed his drawings to gather dust until he awakened to the fact that he had fortune by the throat, only to let go again. His comments on the in- cident wouldn't sound well at a prayer "-New Orleans Times-Demo-

UNITED srlTEs TVEEDs.

That is an interesting report made by Consul Fleming concerning the decline of the tweed industry in Scotland. The depression has now reached a critical stage. In one district firms employing five hundred men have gone out of busi- ness and their factories are standing idle. The firms that are still operating find it well nigh impossible to do busi- ness at a profit. The causes of the present bad condition of the trade are said by manufacturers to be overpro duction, foreign tariffs, the displace- ment of tweeds by flannel suitings, the extreme fluctuations in the price of wool and foreign competition. Several countries that formerly were large consumers of Scottish goods have be- come considerable producers of the same kind of fabric. This is particu- larly true of the United States, where the home made cloth is keeping out the foreign article. A noted Scotch manu- facturer admitted to Consul Fleming that the cloth of this class made in the United States was quite as good in ev- cry respect as that produced in Scot land
 Good for the United States. Perhaps we shall yet be excelling the Scots in making Scotch whiskey and be playing golf better than they play 1t.

Business Sense in City Management.

Business sense tn City Enlargement.
 To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The most interesting reading matter that has come under my observation recently is an article in the Saturday Evening Post of October 20 by the Hon. Thomas G. Hayes of the City of Balti- more entitled Business Sense in City Government" l have looked in vain for some comment on this article in any New Haven or any other news paper and have wondered why matter of such vital interest to every citizen in every city could be so admirably pre- scented and not have attracted more at tention. Mayor Hayes tells how under a new charter which was drafted by himself, assisted by President Gilman of Johns Hopkins University, it has been possible to save the city over $770- 900 in ten months; how the tax rate was reduced from 1.9S to 167; how the banks (and this interests us) instead of having the use of $2500 each of the city's money gratis are now paying two per cent. interest on all they have on deposit and have given bond of half a million each with acceptable security. Furthermore, Mayor Hayes makes the assertion that in every department of the city government the service has been improved and that there are ab- solutely no politics in it. If miracles can be performed in Baltimore why not in New Haven? If they have a better charter than we why not get a copy and look it over. One can be had for the asking. J. B. HUDSON.
