Special Cable to The Herald.
CHRISTIANIA, July 21.-"Norway
will listen to no terms, conditions or
propositions from Sweden which from
the beginning do not regard this coun-
try as sovereign state" said johann
mes Lovland, the Norwegian minister
of foreign affairs, this morning.
Sweden must rid itself of the no
tion that Norway can be dealt with
as If it were conquered country or
had been guilty of treason. We are
ready to negotiate regarding the reali-
ties affecting the interests of both
countries. but we will not entertain
proposals which pretending to safe
guard the Swedish honor would vio-
late our own.
II can only account for Sweden's
claim that Norway's declaration Of in
dependence has morally outraged the
Swedish honor upon the theory that
Sweden has never regarded Norway as
an independent allied state. but as a
Swedish province. 1t was this con-
struction of the union, deep seated
among Sweden's ruling classes. that

the greatest affection for his nets
there and nursed many through long

The trainers greatest triumphs
were achieved In the education of

Latest Victory for This New and

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the

are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants. and this may soon
become q subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultivators Of
the soil.
The results Of the experiments are
astonishing. inasmuch as they show
eonclusively the great increase of
growth attained by supplementing
The Light of Nature" with The
Light of Acetylene" during tho hours
in which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, q 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 ar illuminant for towns from
q 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 ad-
vantages derived from its use. The
machine in which the gas is gener-
ated is easily installed.
