FARMING UNDER GLASS.
Remarkable Developments Of Re-

One of the most remarkable phases Ol
American horticulture today is the use OF
glass houses, the providing Oi conditions
under which nature freed from he linita-
tions Oi climatic variations. may keep up
a constant supply of pleasure aud utility

OF growing roses, carnations, yiOlets and

country in the world can compets with

tains an excellent article on the sui liect
by b. T. Galloway, from which the Iol.
lowing meager quotations are taEen to
emphasize this view:
The most remark able develop ment Oi
the art has taken place within the past
30 years. This il due to the rapid in
crease in population, especially IN our
cities. the increase Of wealth and the de
mand for more variety in vegetables,
fruits and flowers. Twenty-Five years
ago specialization became necessary,
while b. fore that time various kinds Ol
plants were usually grown 10 one estab.

der glass is now naturally divided into
three group,-the growing of plants for
ornamental purposes, the growing OF
cut flowers aud the growing OF yege.

In the growing OF cut fiJwers the
greatest advances have been made with
roses, carnations and yiOlets There are
now annually cold in this country
sc 900, 900 to $7.OOO,O 900 worth OF cut
roses. This represents something like
100. 100000 or l2j,00O,000 flowers.
The growing OF roses ~ All industry has
developed especially in the vicinity OF our
largest cities, such az New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia
In the vicinity Of New York and
Chicago are some OF the most successful
establishments, which are devOting their
energies to the growing of the carnation,
the flower which, next to the rose, Is the
most important grown under glass.
There are annually produced and sold In
this country from 81 ,000. 900 to 81 300.

means from 100000, 900 to 125 .00O, 600
blooms.
Twenty five years ago the violet was
produced almost exclusively in outdoor
frames Of every cheap construction. As
the demand increased the imprscticabil-
ity Of producing violets thus was shown,
and gradually the fram's were made into
small, cheap greenhouses. In a small
way this work WAS established in the
vicinity OF POughkeepsie and Rhinebeek,
n. Y and within the last 10 years so
greatly has the production of the crop
increaeed that there are now probably
800, 900 square feet of glass devoted to
this flower alone in those two places.
"There are less than 100000 square
feet of glass devoted to the growing OF
vegetables In the United States today.
Under favorable conditions glass devoted
TO this work will bring the grower an
average OF 80 cents square foot, max
ing the total value Of the crop from this
work about 81. 2.500,000."

THE DANGEROUS HANDsHAKE
French Chemist Says II Sows The
Seed. OF DANGEROUS Disease.

The French journals have recently
given publicity to scientific discovery
which may have considerable influence
upon one Of the most ordinary usages oi
social intercourse. NJ. CrOuzel, chemist
at Bordeaux. has discovered hat the
human hand is largely occupied in SOW
ing the seeds OF all sorts OF disease. The
hand, he says, ia not only the most dirty
but the most dangerous porti IN OF our
anatomy. IL contains on the average
S3, ,45O, 900 bacilli. Hence, he argues
people should never shake hands. We
know already it is dangerous okl-s; but
now, as French paper puts 1t, science
ia no less hostile to friendship than t.
love. All men, however, are not eqna
in this matter. 1t is possible, N. Crouze
saws. to protect yourself, u you must
