lights upon plant growth, those which
have been made under the intelligent
charge of Profs. Bailey and Craig,
with their assistants at Cornell uni
versity, have been more painstaking
along practical lines than any other
recalled in that particular direction.
Take the radish crop under sun by
day with acetylepe at night, and un-
der sun by day and dark at night, and
the conclusions are remarkable. 1t is
seen that 81 radishes on the light or
acetylene side of the curtain aggre-
gated 1876 grams, as against 3S radishes
on the dark side, reaching but 81
grams, less than half.
The behavior OF peas, under which
blooms and good-sized pods were pres
ent by the aid of acetylene, at time
when without this not even buds were
apparent, is equally marked.
Perhaps most interesting of all is
the photograph, in which plants are
figured that had never seen daylight.
Altogether, these Cornell acetylens
experiments are the most complete ir
their line yet given to the American
public. Investigations to follow will
be watched with much interest
Whether the discovery will have CON-
merciaI value to florists and plant.
growers, remains to be seen. When it
is considered that the demand and
price of flowers and other forced
growths is the greatest in the period
of shortest days about the holidays, 1t
seems likely that enterprising plant.

results to conduct tests having a COM

SOUNDING WITHOUT LEAD.
Finding the Depth of the Sea With
out Being in Touch with
It's Bottom.

An ingenious apparatus for determin-
ing the depth of thesea without being in
actual touch with it's bottom, has re-
Gently been invented by a Norwegian
engineer. Mr.. H. Berggraf The particu-
lars in the following account, as well as
the illustration, are taken from Elek-
troteknisk Tidskrift, Copenhagen.
AS generally understood, it is a COM
paratively simple matter to measure the
depth of the sea. All that is necessary
is to fasten a weight to a line, drop it
overheard, allow it to sink to the bottom
and measure the length of the line run
out. And in fact all the measuring ap-
paratus hitherto devised is based on
this method of procedure, though in
some cases the actual arrangement Is
more complicated to overcome the many
difficulties encountered in practice.
The most useful arrangement would
ter under the vessel at any moment
would be registered on a dial. An ap-
paratus of this kind, besides being ex-
tremely convenient, would possess the
highest scientific value for topographic
measurement Moreover, 1t would be
invaluable as an aid to navigation, for
while a single reading of the depth may
apply 10 numberless points on the
chart, series of continuous readings
can apply to but one given line.
The apparatus invented by Mr.. Berg
graf is designed for continuous record
ing of this kind. The underlying prin-
ciple is one of acoustics, the propa-
cation of sound wave from the vessel
to the bottom of the sea and back, and
the measurement of the time required
for this. Substantially the action is as
follows: A sound wave is emitted by
she closing of an electric circuit which
at the same time starts the index NOV
ing across the dial. The indeXcontinues
its movement until the sound wave is
reflected and returns to the apparatus
When this occurs a second circuit is
closed, which thereby stops the move
ment of the index 1t is evident that the
greater the distance to the rejecting sur
face, the longer will be the travel of the

index and that its movement is directly
proportional to the distance between
the vessel and this sound-reflecting wall
in this case the bottom of the ocean
The apparatus may be so constructed
that an alarm is sounded when the wa
ter shadows to certain depth. and by
this alarm the danger of grounding
would be considerably decreased.
Instead of using graduated dial, it is
more convenient to have the record au-
tomatically marked upon moving strip
of paper. This is the arrangement in
the bathometer" as constructed by Mr.
Berggraf. The illustration shows the
details of the apparatus.
The disk, a, rotates relatively slowly
in the direction of the arrow. The
projection, C, at given time comes
into contact with d, completing the
circuit, and causing the hammer. e.
of the electromagnet to strike the
diaphragm, h. This projects sound
waves against the bottom of the sea.
whence they are thrown back to the
vessel and transmitted through the
diaphragm, i, to the microphone. k. In
the circuit of the microphone is in
serted an apparatus, !. designed on the
same principle as a telephone Because

A few of my friends suggested that it was
lead poison, but whatever it was it gave
me great deal of pam, in fact, almost
completely crippled me. | had to use two
canes to walk about, and even then it was
a very painful task.
"A friend advised me to try Dodd S

After | had used the first box | was able
to throw away one Of the canes and was
considerably improved. The second box
Strengthened me up so that could go
about free from pain without any assist

or an ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed
to 90 right to the spot in my case, and

DlSAPPOINTS MILITIA
AdJutant General Lauck Explains
They Are Mistaken in Claims
for Paw
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 7.-Adjutant
General j. b. Lauck gave the following
statement to the Associated Press to-
day;
AN erroneous impression is current
that officers and enlisted men of Cali
fornia military organizations in the
Spanish American war are entitled to
pay at the rate of 81 per day from date
of enlistment to date of muster out
AS a result of this misunderstanding
on the part of great many
California volunteers in the Span
ish-American war, the adjutant gen
erals office is being almost flooded
with applications for money that the
applicants are in no way entitled to.
Volunteers who were members of
the national guard of California at the
time of enrolment are entitled to the
state rate of 50 a day from date of en-
rollment y date of muster into the vol
unteer army or rejection by medical
examiner, and not from date of enlist
ment to date of muster out.
ALREADY 1850 claims for back pay
have been paid on the first installment
of claims allowed, and there are now
approXimtately 1900 applications on file
in the adjutant generals offices in this
city, which will be forwarded to the
war department for settlement"
Adjutant General Lauck is doing all
in his power to induce legitimate
claimants to send in their claims at
once. AS the claims must be filed with
the war department at Washington by
the first of January, 1906, no claim re-
ceived by Adjutant General Lauck can
be considered later than the 25th of
the present month.

kmeat was never intended for human
Pstomachs, and almost make us believe
that our sturdy ancestors, who lived
four score years in robust health on
roast beef, pork and mutton, must have
been grossly ignorant of the laws of
health.
Our forefathers had other things to
do than formulate theories about the
food they ate. A warm welcome was
extended to any kind, from bacon to
acorns.
healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters of diet, and a mixed diet of
grains, fruits and meats is undoubted-

the digestion is too feeble at first it
