ARTIFICIAL FROST.

This fs the Latest in Growing Flowers
Faster Than Nature. 81
Some curious and successful experi-.
ments are now being made IN Europe
with ether, the object being TO ascer-,
tain whether it can be used to adYan.
tage for the purpose Of forcing hot
house or other plants. The ordinaSy
frost has stripped the leaves from the
plants, thus permitting them to take.

living creatures need If vegetation
could 5be arrested, and repose. begun
sooner it is evident that the plants
would blossom much earlier next sea-
son, and this is precisely what the.
experiments with ether are designed
to accomplish. .s
If phial of ether is placed under.
a lilac. an azalea or any other plant
of similar nature the4,vapor -ofathis
very volatile liquid will quickly en-
velop the branches, and thus will cause
the leaves to fade, and at a giYea@
moment will arrest growth in the same
manner as frost arrests it. In other;
words ether softens the period Of yegee
tation and produces the same effect
as the first frost, The best results
with ether can be obtained between
July and the beginning Of September
The plants to be treated should be
placed in dry room, or, better still,
in a boxawhich iss entirely closed and
the temperature Of which is not too
low. The ether is poured from outside
into vessel which Is hung within,
and the opening must then be prompt
ly closed, so as to avoid any waste of:
the vapor. This operation 'shoulds be
done during the day, as ether is highly:
inGammable.
They will blossom much sooner than
those forced in the ordinary manner
Prof. Johannsen of the Danish school
of agriculture obtained during the first
fortnight of September blossoms ffoms

LIGHTING DEVICE
THAT IS HANDY
May Be used in Places Where Hlurni-
nation is insufficient.

The primary object of the invention
Illustrated below is to produce a light
ing device which occupies such small
space that 1t can be easily carried
about and readily adjusted to book
or other object, thus enabling the
user to read without discomfort in
places where ordinarily poor light or
no light Mt all can be had, particularly
out Of doors on summer nights OF in
warm climates, on ship deck at night
in the sick room or in poorly lighted
trains or waiting rooms. In the case
of our illustration it is attached to a
pulpit to afford the preacher plenty Of
light for reading without injuring the
eyes Of the congregation by the glaring
rays Of an ordinary light. With the
improved storage batteries recently
introduced very little discomfort is oc-
casioned in carrying the entire appa-
ratus to produce this light, the stand
ard which supports the lamp being
flexible and folding with the cord in
side the case which carries the bat
terry. When needed for lighting pur-
poses the support is opened and
clamped on the book Or paper, throw
ing the light just where it is most use

In the town of Hide, Sheim, Ger

plant in the world. 1t is Il rash bush
1000 years old, and sprouts froM $
branches have realized fabulous suns.
Some years ago Il rich Engllshman

but the sum was Indignantly refused.
This wonderful plant clings amid
thickly grown moss against the side
of the famous old Church OF St
Michael. 1t is claimed that it has
bloomed perennially since the days OF
King Alfred. and this statement has
never been disputed, for its record has
been as carefully kept as the pedigree
of the bluest-blooded family in the
kingdom. 1t is supposed to have been
discovered by some mysterious means

wu Ting. fanr's Regard for Truth. -
The reporter who lied to the Chinese
minister at Washington, WI Ting
fang, about his salary, no doubt de-
luded himself with the thought-if ne
gave the matter thought at all,-that
it was a white le' that would hurt
nobody. But let us see the sequel
On the first occasion, when he called
to interview the minister, he was ask
ed what salary he received. "One
hundred and fifty dollars week, glib
ly replied the youth. ut is too much.
It is altogether too much," said the
more candid than polite WI Ting-fang.
"You are not worth more than twenty
five dollars week"
The Chinese minister it is said,
learned later, through other news
paper men, that the reporter hadanot
spoken the truth, and that, instead or
one hundred and fifty dollars a week,
he r. tvcd but sixty. Consequently,
who e-1again presented himself at
the { .inesc legation for information
for his paper. he was curtly dismissed

"you lied to me about your salary. II
Won will lie about such thing as that

trust you. 1 have nothing to say, 't

INSURES. SAFETY

: Thegapparatus shown in the accom-
panylnG illustration is intended espe-
cially .for:use in measuring the venti-
latings current in mine or other place
where it is desired to ascertain the
amount or velocity Of the air passing,
such velocity providing the essential
data from which the volume can he
calculated at any distant point or sta
tionsthus oftentimes acting to save the
lives Of miners when the ventilation
fails to carry off the explosive gases
from the. mine. Hitherto the accuracy
of such instruments, particularly in
coal mines, has been affected by the
deleterious matter carried by the at
mosphere in which they have to be
placed, such as noXious gases, mois
ture, smoke, greasy matter, eXhalations
from a number Of men and animals,
gases exuding from the pores Of newly
cut coal and the like. The inventor Of
this apparatus, Joseph Thompson,
claims to have overcome this obiec-
