buying orders which called for no less
than 10000 shares to be Immediately

RED GLOW
Investigation Of Influence Of Kinds Of Light
ON Vegetation.

The experiments in regard to the
influence Of fine different parts of the
sunlight upon the growth Of plants
have been carried on for several years
Sachs, who proved that red rays of the
sunlight especially favored the growth
of plants and flowers. Such investiga-
ttCns have now been again taken up by
NJ. Camille Flammarion, a celebrated
French astronomer. Flammaron
established, in connection with the OBJ
servatory at Juvisy, near Paris. an ex-
pertinent station in the form of a small
garden where he studied the matter
and conducted his experiments. A re-
port recently published contains some
interesting points. FIammarion used
the double-sides bell-zhades, which
were filed with colored solutions, and
at the same time he provided beds,
covered with colored Class. The best
results, however, were attained, in four
little hot houses. one Of which Is COW
cred with ordinary window glass, and
the other three with blue, green, and
red glass The glass used for these
houses was carefully examined, and on
ly those -ieces taken whose intensity
admitted only monachromatic light.
Heat and all other conditions are the
slme in the four houses. A screen
like device represents a number Of
thermometers made of colored glass.
Flammarion first selected for his eX
periments a plant from which. through
It's peculiar forms of growth, we can
Judge, at any time. of its healthy con-
dtion. This was the Mimoaa pudlica,
the well known sensitive plant whose
leaves act only upon exterior irrita-
tIlons when the plant is in a perfectly
noraml condition. Young plants of a
triie over an inch in height were
planted on the same day and in the
same manner in all of the four houses,
and were carefully attended to. At
ter three months a notable difference
was to be seen. Under the blue glass
the plants did not die off but neither
did they show any signs Of growth. In
the white house they were we'll devel-
opsd and had grown to am average
height OF four inches. In the green
house the plants were a little etiolated
that is to say, they showed instead
of the normal green color a yellow
white color, but their development had
been magnificent, their height averag-
ing six inches. The greatest develop
ment, however, had taken place in the
red house, where the plants not only
showed their usual normal color, but
had reached height of seventeen in
ches-that is to say, fifteen times the
original size. and were blooming
splendidly. F'lammarion then took
two other plants and attained the same,
or, at least, very similar results. Ex-
periments carried on with strawberries
showed also the same results; under
the red light they developed marvel
ously. 1t will readily be understood
that these experiments, especially with
regard to valuable, rare plants. are of
the highest value.
