Electricity and Plant Life.


Interesting experiments have been
conducted by Dir. Lemstrom, of Hell
singfors university, on the effect of
an electrical discharge Don the growth
Of plants. -Four seeds Of barley,
wheat and rye we're sown in pots, the
soil being electrically connected with
the ground. Above the two pots
we're suspended an insulated network
Of wire with a number Of points Of a
Holz machine SO connected that in
some Of the pots the electric current
passed from the metal work to the
earth, while in others il passed in the
reverse direction. For five hours
daily a current was passed through
the soil. After eight weeks the
height Of the plants affected by the
electric current was found to be DO
per cent. greater than those to which
no current had been applied. 1t is
said that experiments with other
plants show similar results, but diff
ferent in degree.

FIVE DOLLARS IN NIcKELs.
Man with a Bill Gets Even with the
Mean Conductor.

Mean Conductor.
Nov, here is a story of good luck
and bad luck combined, and it Just
goes to show that the sunshine will
occasionally fall on a fellow when he
is really not expecting it." said 9
young man who lives uptown to a
New Orleans Times-D Democrat repor-
ter. did you ever get on a street
car with no smaller change in your
pocket than a five dollar bill? Of
course you have. Every man has had
this experience at some time or other.
1t happened to me the other day
while | was on my way downtown.
When l handed the conductor the
fve-dollar bill with an apology and an
explanation hat | thought when l
boarded the car hat | had smaller
change. Themanwhorings up nickels
didn't fail to show his %displeasure. l
tried to get the bill changed by ap-
preaching several passengers. But
there was nothing left for me to do
but to take the change the conductor
offered or leave the car. 1 took the
change. He counted me out 1895 in
nickels-99 nickels, a whole handful
of nickels-and he seemed to get a
deal of pleasure out Of my discomfort
as l sank back in the seat and began
fumbling with the nickels he had
given me. But all this is prosaic,
commonplace enough, for the same
thing has happened to nearly every
other man who rides on street cars to
any considerable extent. Happened
to glance at the floor of the car, and
there in the aisle was a nickel. /
picked it up, and put it with the other
SO nickels which | held in my hand.
Here, CONDUCTOR / said, as | beck
oned the man to come in from the
rear of the car, here are 100 nickels-
give me that fve-dollar bill He
counted the nickels. They were all
there, and got my bill back. Funny
experience, wasn't it? 1t doesn't hap
pen every day, and in fact | guess Pm
the only man it ever happened to-
and the mar chuckled as he brushed
around the corner.

QUITE SIMPLE.
The Professors Secret of Success
fully %Forecasting the Weather.


In a certain continental town, says
London Tit-Bits, there we're two
newspapers that maintained a bitter
rivalry. To the staff Of each a profess
sor was attached, who contributed a
special forecast Of the weather, but
neither of these experts was known to
the other.
Now, one Of these professors, who
for the time may be called Schmidt,
was greatly chagrined to find that,
whereas his prophecy was generally
wrong, that Of his rival, Schenk, was
very often correct. He therefore de-
termined to discover the secret of his
success.
By dint of inquiry Schmidt ascer-
tanned the Identity Of Schenk, and,
further, learned that he was in the
habit of taking his dinner at a Ger
tam cafe. Carefully laying his plans,
Schmidt contriyed to get his dinner
in company with Schenk, and to open
up a most interesting conversation.
AT last, when Favorable opportunity
presented itself for introducing the
subject which vas uppermost in his
mind, Schmidt turned to his com
panion.
"By the way" said he, 81 hear that

ct of the - naming the paper). |
can't tell you how often | have won

laugh; you see there's a silly old
donkey who Processes to make predic-
tions for the - (naming Schmidt's

Do Good-It Pays.

A Chicago man has observed that
"Good deeds are better than real
estate deeds--some of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by
it." Most men appreciate a kind
word and encouragement more than
substantial help. There are per-
sons in this community who might
truthfully say: "My good friend,
cheer up. A few doses of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy will rid you
of your cold, and there is no danger
whatever from pneumonia when
you use that medicine. 1t always

A Prehistoric Find.

There was, evidently, civiliza-
ton in this valley ante-dating that
OF both the Toltec and Aztec, says
the Florence Blade. In 1888, an
old Swiss well-digger, whose name
has escaped our memory, dug a
well southeast of Florence about Is
miles, on the overland stage road,
running from this place to Desert
Station and thence to Tucson. He
sunk this we'll to a depth of 22O
feet, all through adobe soil. At the
bottom of the well he uncovered
human bones and a large amount
of pottery. unlike, in both quality
and design, any of the pottery be-
longing to the Toltec, Aztec or sub
sequent civilizations. Among the
undamaged specimens taken out of
the bottom of the we'll, were two
tea-cnps and saucers. The cups
were belle-shaped like the China
tea-cups of the present day, and
were az thin as the china cups.
They were coal-black and finely
glazed, inside and outside, and the
saucers were of the same thickness
as the cups, glazed the same and
shaped like our modern saucers.
The old Swiss knew nothing of their
archaeological value but would not
part with them. Along with the
human bones were large pieces oi
well-preservcd charcoal and the
bones were fairly we'll preserved
but soon crumbled after they were
exposed to the air. The old well
digger knew, when he encountered
these unmistakeable evidences of a
past civilization, that he had just
reached the prehistoric level of the
earth at this point and would prob.
ably have to 60 fifty or one hundred
feet deeper to find water, and he
abandoned the enterprise. AS this
22O feet of earth had been deposited
there by the slow process of rock
disintegration one must conclude
that very many thousand years
have been added to the age of the
earth since the civilization, evi.
denced by the find of this old well
digger, passed off the stage. The
Smithsonian Institution should in
vestigate this matter.
