Forcing Hard Wood Plants with Ether


Some time ago Professor Johanna
son. OF Denmark, published the re-
suits OF researches and experiments
in the use Of ether in forcing lilacs
out Of season. The subject has since
been taken up around Paris and en-
prrimcntcd with quite largely. It has
been found that any Of the hard wood
shrubs may be forced very quickly
by first etherizing them. The process
i'll brief Is to take up the plant after it
has become thoroughly dormant al
low tic earth 10 dry out somewhat. ana
then to place it in an air-ti..ht box in
which is reservoir to hold the ether.
After the box is closed the ether is
poured in through an opening, which
is ut once carefully closed to prevent
the escape Of the vapor
The plants arc exposed to cthcriZa-
ton about fifty hours. then they are
placed in the hothOuSc. watcrcd and
treated in the usual way About 100
grams ether arc used per cubic metre
OF air space. Plants have been brought
into flower with this process in twelve
days of forcing. whereas similar
plants not treated had barely begun
To grow in that time. Care must bc
taken that the plants arc ncrfcctIv
dry and dormant when they are nut
III. For the forcing OF lilacs. azalcas,
hYdranSeas spirca. dcu,za and other
shrubs OF like character, this process
holds out considerable promise. 1t
may be possible also To use IL in
forcing fruit trees in pots.

Until recently. al germ diseases were
supposed to be caused by microbes.
and for uniformity even such germs as
appeared to belong to some other di-
vision Of the vegetable kingdom were
classified as microbian. Now, how
ever. it is recognized that very large
number Of infectious diseases are due
to organisms which, though minute
have no relationship with the microbes
at all. SO many Of these have been
discovered. that NJ. Gedoelst. Belgian
author has written book about them
under the title Parasitic Fungi Of

viewer states that these non-microblnn

of tho whole system, and that though
the causes Of these are now recognized,
their symptoms and proper treatment
are yet imperfectly understood.

last week says:
Numerous labor controversies have
appeared and more furnaces and
mills have closed, the tendency be-
ing to operate only the plants pro-
yided with the most modern equip
ment. Despite tn, curtailment of ac-
tivity in many manufacturing lines. a
heavy volume of business is being
transacted. Western traffic facilities
are proving inadequate, the distribu-
ton of merchandise being enormous
at the interior, and taking the coun-
try as a whole conditions may be con-
sidered fairly satisfactory, although
there are indisputable evidences that
the abnormal activity has received
check.
Jobbing trade has become quiet, with
the advancing prices, and at many
points the weather is not calculated to
maintain buying of wearing apparel at
retail.

shot At PRESIDENT DIAZ.
GREAT EXCITEMENT CAUSED BY
ATTEMPT AT MURDER.
President and Party Were Passing a
Street Car When a Man of the
Lower Glass Approached and Fired
Five Shots, All Harmless-Police
Put the Man in Jail.

Guanajuato, Mexico, Oct. 29.-
Great excitement was caused here by
what looked like an attempt on the
life of President Diaz, who was a
geust of the state government during
the festivities here. The president,
his staff and guests were passing by
the Oantador garden in streetcar,
when man of the lower class, named
Elias Toscano, approached the car
shouting, and fired five shots from a
revolver at he car, fortunately do
ing no harm. Pablo Escanadon of the
presidents staff rushed from the car
and caught the man, wrenching the
revolver from his grasp. The police
took Toscano 10 prison.
Toscano is a man with a bad crimi-
nal record. and was but recently re-
leased from prison at Granditas, where
he had served a term for homicide.
The matter will be investigated. One
theory is that Toscano was drunk and
another that he deliberately planned
to shoot the president. The president
remained perfectly cool and acclaimed
by the crowd of citizens, showing their
joy at his escape.
Toscanos evil record makes the
theory of a deliberate attempt at as.
sassination more probable. The presi
dent has received the fluctuations OF
the citizens and diplomatic corps here

PRINCESS LOUISE REPENTs.
Beas Her Husband to See Her Chill
dren.


Princess Louise, repentant and sor-
rowful, has sent a fearful letter t0Aher
husband, Crown Prince Fredefick of
Saxony, begging him to let Aer &c
her children just once more on EhN1st-
mas. Her maternal love has proved
too strong to see the children she so
cruelty wronged when she eloped with
her lover some months ago. The
crown prince replied that he was will
ing to grant her appeal, but that King
George would not permit it.
Accompanied by her brother and his
paramour, Prince Louise and her lover,
M. Giron, her French tutor, left the
home of the crown prince and fed to
Switzerland.
AS there is no divorcing of the
crowned heads of Saxony, the prince
and princess live apart from each
other, although she is still his legal
wife.
The escapade of the Princess
Louise was one of the most sensational
affairs of its kind that has occurred in
Europe for many years. She admitted,
after going away with Giron, that
Prince Frederick had been good to her,
but that she was wild to get away
from the humdrun of the dull court
life of Saxony, and get once more
into the excitement of the outer world.
In her letter to the crown prince
now she does not ask for forgiveness,
but says that the shame of her ad-
venture has fallen heavily upon her,
and that her heart is aching for
sight of her little ones.
