CREATES PLANT LIFE
French Professor Thinks He
Has Solved Mystery.
RESEMBLE REAL VEGETABLES
ArtfRcinHy Produced Plants Have
the Properties of Sea-Vveed ami
Fails to state whether HIS Produc-
tiOns Are Edible or Not.

Paris. Nov. Z7.-The problem Of pro-
duclng vegetable life by chemical action,
Is practically solved. according 10 the re-
port made to-day before the Academy OF
Sciences by Prof. d'ArsonvaL
Artificial plant life was exhibited, which
had been produced by the methods Of
Prof. NJ lie Due, who has for years been
experimenting with the artificial repro
ducrion OF vegetable life.
Prof d'ArsonvaI interested his col
leagues greatly, but unfortunately for the
lay public he did not say whether these
so-caUed vegetables are edible. While
they were 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 makeup Of these products
nothing living enters. Prof. lie Due makes
seeds In pill forms, one part of sulphate
of copper and two parts Of glucose. These
are deposited in bouillon made Of gelatine
to which is added 3 per cent Of ferro
cyanide 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 plans
It was announced that these artificial
plants were not merely scientific curl
osities, as Prof. lie Due has been able
to recognize that they enjoyed the same
properties as the plants they resembled.
and were influenced similarly by heat and
light.

OF the result in New York upon the pO-
nticaI fortunes Of Theodore Roosevelt
and William r Hearst. Said Senator
Blackburn: "One thing sure: the result
Of the New York election was the abso-
lutte elimination Of Roosevelt and Hearst
as Presidential candidates IN 1905. Meth
CT now has a ghost OF q chance in the
face OF the verdict rendered by the peo-
pie OF New York. Prior 70 the election,
both Roosevelt and Hearst were candi-
dates for President. and a pronounced
victory for either party would have
brought one or the other to the front in
that role. The election OF the entire
Democratic ticket. excepting Mr. Hearst,
effectually ended Mr.. Roosevelt's aspira-
tions for another term I'm the White
House The verdict Of the New York
voters made il also clear that a change
in the administration Of national affairs
would be very acceptable TO the country
Mr.. Roosevelt realizes this. for he is the
best politician IN the United States"
Hearst Would Have Hurt Democrats.
I'm frank to say concluded the Sen
ator. that / am well pleased with the
result in New York, especially with refer
ence to Mr.. Hearst. His election would
unquestionably have been disastrous 10
the Democratic party, for wit', the ma
ohinery Of the great State of New oYTk
IN his hands for two years, with his
liberal means of publicity and almost
unlimited wealth. he would have built
up a machine powerful enough to seri-
ously cripple it. If he did not do greater
harm 10 Il.
If 1Ir. Hearst had been elected COVER
nor of New York, he would have forced
himself 10 the front as the Democratic
nominee for President in 1908. and then
there would have been trouble sure
enough. But. fortunately. Mr.. Hearst was
defeated while the rest Of the Democratic
ticket was elected. and 10 this result is
10 be traced the ripping Of two con-
spicUOus Presidential boomlets"
