The rumor is current in European
capitals that the German emperor has
assured King Oscar at Gefie of his

to support him in restoring the status
quo ante in the dual kingdom.
AS a public proof of his sentiments
the kaiser has made King Oscar a
grand marshal of the German fleet.
At Danish cabinet meeting 1t de-
veloped that the ministers were in full
agreement that Prince Charles of Den
mark should accept the crown of Nor
way If King Oscar and the other courts
most nearly concerned expressed their
approval. King Christian and the
other members Of the Danish royal
family are also favorable to Prince
Charles becoming King Of Norway.

the question of an alliance between
Germany and Sweden had never come
before the foreign office, nor had it
been discussed to the slightest extent.
OF course, the foreign office could
not deny that Emperor William and
King Oscar had not spoken of an alli-
ance during their interview at Gefe,
because the subjects of their converse
ton are not known.
The German governments policy is
one OF complete aloofness-almost of
Indifference. 1t is expected at Berlin
that as a result of the meeting EN-.
peror William and Germany will be
described in some countries as taking
undue interest in Scandinavian affairs
and as seeking for way to influence
settlement. Such an idea Is dis
avowed In advance.

Mayor Samuel Roberts of Norris

Carnegie medal. He was fishing
from a boat in the Delaware river
when he noticed that two boys had
fallen off a swimming raft and We're

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become a subject for serious consider
alton 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
1.-THE Light of Nature" with THE
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, a certain
number of radish 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
matured pods with the help Of acety-
lene light, while without the added
light not even buds we're apparent.
Acetylene is already taking its
place as an illuminant for towns from
central plant, for lighting houses.
churches, schools and isolated build
ings Of all kinds, and 1t is being used
successfully for many other purposes.
A striking and important feature Of
acetylene is the ease and small ex-
pense with which 1t can be made
available compared with the great adj
vantages derived from Its use. The
machine In which the gas Is gener-
ated Is easily installed.
