ARTIFICIAL VEGETABLES.
Prof. Ledue Produces Them by Chemical
PrOccSs-Act Like Real Plants.

Special Cabs DSspOtch % THE SUN.
PARIS. Nov. 27.-The Academy OF Sciences
yesterday heard Prof. d'Arsonval describe
artificial vegetables. which he exhibited,
and which were produced by the, methods
of Prof. Leduc OF the Nantes Medical
College. Prof. d'Arsonval interested his
colleagues greatly. but unfortunately for
the lay public he did not say whether the
so-called vegetables are edible.
While they we're described as vegetables
they have nothing OF the vegetable in their
makeup, but they behave after their pro-
duction as do the real vegetables they
resemble under natural conditions. Into
the composition OF these products nothing
living enters. Prof. Leduc makes seeds
in pill form, one part of sulphate OF copper
and two parts OF glucose. These are de-
posted in bouillon made Of gelatine, to
which are added 3 per cent. of fe~rro-cyauide
Of potassium and a little sea salt.
The seed develops sometimes on the
surface Of the liquid and sometimes in its
depths, giving birth to plants resembling
seaweed and other marine plants. 1t was
announced that these artificial plants were
not merely scientific curiosities. Prof.
Leduc has been able TO recognize that they
nave the same properties as the plants
they resemble, and are influenced similarly
by heat and light.
