Cheers Up O Plant.

Electricity is not life, but 1t stimu'
lates life in plants. Its adaptation may
vet revolutlonlze horticulture. In our
homes lighted by electricity the con-
seryatory becomes an experimental gar
den. We modify the lights with shades
suited to the needs Of the different pos
ted plants. The sick ones are re'iueu
by a course in electric therapeutics. Ine
pots are placed near the incandescent o.
arc lights according to the amount o.
light and stimulation they need. and un'
der their powerful influence they revive
and their diseases are destroyed'-Chf
