FLOWERS ccLoRED TO oRDEE.
BY Very Simple Method Most Beau
tiful Effects Have Been Obtained.

We know that horticulturists create
almost at will wild flowers of varied
colors by practicing forced culture,
artificial selec.iSR and hybridization,
in this way obtaining a very extended
scale of colors. Still, in any case,
the color of the flower, although it is
possible to give birth to millions of
varieties, can only be modified within
certain limits. With reference to this
fact the colors of flowers have been
divided into two great categories, the
xanthic series-yellow, yellowish
green, orange, red-and the eyanic
seriea-blue, indigo, violet Never
has a flower of the first series passed
into the second, nor mas the reverse
taken place; never has a gardener, no
matter how clever he may be, been
able to obtain blue roses.
The florists, however, obtain this
color. The method of the florists is
that classic one which has been long
employed on the case Of violets, for
example, making them green with am
monia, white with vapors of sulphuric
acid, etc. In this case, however, it is
the coloring matter of the flower itself
which is modified, although in the
production of green carnations the
method adopted is that of artificially
introducing coloring matter into the
tissues of the plant, the coloring mat
ter than being incorporated into the
petals.
When the first green carnations ap-
peared in Paris the city was seized
with establishment, and many persons
willingly paid as much as 40 cents
apiece for the flowers. The municipal
authorities instituted an investiga-
ton and soon discovered how the
flowers were colored. 1t appeared that
a young girl accidentally poured into
the water of vase containg white
carnations coloring matter with which
she was painting rose leaf green
What was her establishment to see
the carnations lose their white color
and assume a beautiful green tint;
from this to the regular manufacture
of the flowers was only a step.
All plants, however, do not lend
thmselves in an equal manner to
these vagaries. The carnation, hya-
cinth, orange flower, gilly flower, iris,
chrysanthemum, and camelia are the
most easily colored, and in this re-
spect it is amusing to experiment with
the many hueS that can be obtained.
1t is only necessary to prepare a
coloring solrtion, then cut the stem
of the flower and place it in the solu-
ton. The plant draws up the water,
and little by little the coloring matter
is distributed throughout the plants
tissues. A common gilly flower placed
in a solution of light green analine
dye is quickly transformed, at the
end of twenty minutes the white parts
being blue, the yellows green, and the
reds violet-Cosmos.

The quiet, graybearded Admiral Togo,
in blue service uniform, seemed en-
barrassed by the noisy ovation. Rear
Admiral Shimamura, chief of staff,

closed in on Admiral Togo and they
were frequently forced to push the crowd
back in an endeavor to clear the reach
ing hands. Finally Admiral Togo and
Vice Admiral Kamimura were freed from
their enthusiastic admirers and sur
rounded by officers, they reached the car
rage sent by the emperor to convey the
distinguished party to the palace.
AS Admiral Togo appeared a great
shout arose, hats were thrown in the air,
arms were raised and 'Banzai'' followed

party drove under triumphal arches, wav-
ing flags and discharging firearms

THE PROSPEROUS FARMER.
His Earnings for This Year Reaches a
Fabulous Figure.

The farmers of the United States are
our greatest benefactors, says writer
in Baltimore paper. In 1904, for ex-
ample, this country's farm products were
worth in the aggregate $4,900,000 900,
an increase of 31.2 per cent over 1899.
The sum is three times the gross earn
ings of all our railways and six times
the amount of the capital stock of all
the national banks. The corn crop
would pay the national debt Next to
corn comes cotton, worth this year $780,
100000, while hay and wheat together
about equal the value of corn. The rice
crop reaches nearly 1,000,00000 pounds,
being 300,000,000 pounds more than ever
before. The Secretary of Agriculture
becomes impressive, however, when he
tells us that the patriotic hens of the
country in one month lay eggs enough
to pay a years interest on the public
debt. The farmer is said to be prosper
ing this year beyond the record. To
prove this the Secretary shows that in
the three distinctively agricultural States
of Iowa, Kansas and Mississippi the
deposits in all kinds of banks increased
in the eight years from June 80, 1896,
to Oct. 81, 1904. by, respectively, 164,
219 and 301 per cent. During the same
period the deposits in all banks of the
United States as a whole increased by
81 Der cent

The Effect of the Surprise or the

Increasing as more men came up,
the fire from the hills was as steady

one regiment, charging through a bull
