NAN PATTERSON AT
ODDS WITH FATHER.

Daughter When She visited
Washington.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s1.-Nan
Patterson at present is an object of
greater interest among the neighbors
on Howard avenue, where her father
and mother live. than she was when
she was released from the Tombs or
when she scored her failure on the
stage. She is interesting to them
now because they believe she has at
last forfeited the friendship of the
gray-haired father who stood by her
when she was in the Tombs with a
devotion that touched every one at all
connected with the trial. T.
During the brief time spent in this
city after the Ralph Ashe escapade
she was guest at the house of her
sister, Mrs. Taylor, but not once did
she see her father. Not once did she
go to the cottage on Howard avenue,
although 1t Is but short block from
her sisters house. Nor did her faith
er go to Mrs. Taylor's house.
Mrs. Patterson went to the Taylor
home three or four times every day,
but Mr.. Patterson did not stop there.
He had to pass the Taylor residence
every time he went downtown, but
when he passed 1t he was apparently
unaware that either of his daughters
lived there. -'' '''i'i''s

Mans existence than any relating to
her Incarceration, trial or release.

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF AcETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.

Grow to Twice Actual Weight Of Those
Exposed to Sunlight Only Latest
Victory For This New and Beautiful
Iuumlnant.
The experiments recently made ut
Cornell University prove that the beau
tiful rays from the gas, acetylene, are
as effective as sunlight on the growth
Of plants, and this may soon become a
subject for serious consideration by all
progressive cultivators of the soil.
The results of the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase Of
growth attained by supplementing
The Light of Nature" with The Light
of Acetylene" during the tours in
which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, a certain
number Of raGish plants subjected TO
acetylene light during the night grew
to twice the actual weight Of the same
number of radishes given daylight only,
all other conditions being equal, and
peas had blossomed and partially ma
tured pods with the help Of acetylene
light, while without the added light
not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its place
as an illuminant for towns from q CEN
trail plant, for lighting houses, churches,
schools and isolated buildings of all
kinds, and it is being used successfully
for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature OF
acetylene is the ease and small expense
with which it can be made available
compared with the great advantages
derived from its use. The machine in
which the gas is generated is easily In
