PRODUCES CHEMICAL PLANTS.
Scientist Grows Vegetables from Sui
phate of Copper and Glucose.

Paris.-The Academy of Sciences
heard Prof. d'Arsonval describe arti
fetal vegetables, which he exhibited
that were produced by the methods of
Prof. lie Due of the Nantes Medical
school.
Prof. d'Arsonval interested his col
leagues greatly, but unfortunately for
the lay public did not say whether
these so-called vegetables are edible.
Although they are described as vege.
tables. they have nothing of vegetables
in their makeup. But they behave
after their production as do the real
vegetables they resemble under nat
| ural conditions.
Into the composition of these prod
ucts nothing living enters. Prof lie
Due makes a seed in pill form of one
part sulphate Of copper and two parts
glucose. This is deposited in a bouil
Ion made of gelatin, to which are
added three per cent Of ferro-cyanide
of potassium and little sea salt
The seed develops sometimes on
the surface of the liquid, sometimes
in its depths, and finally gives birth tC
plants resembling seaweed and Other
marine plants.

granted her She arose in the meeting
the other night and testified and sang
hymns in the new language.
She does not understand the words
which she utters, and university pro.

Mrs. Shumate, Il only know that

ranchman of Chihuahua, Lie Marcos

an effort to save his son from slavery

where his son will be placed in the
care Of specialists.
De La Tore is the owner of large
match factory. and put his son at
work in the establishment so that he
might learn the business. The son

phosphorus from his fingers, and has
become such slave to the poison

become immovable and often are
luminous like those of a cat The
youths hair has turned yellow and is

FAvoRlTE HYMNS ARE BARRED
Nearer, My God, to Thee" Not in Lit
urgical Service, Says Bishop.

Newark, n. J.-Bishop John J.
O'Connor of the Newark Catholic do
cese, has placed an interdict on the
hymns Nearer, My God, to Thee" and
Lead, Kindly Light" The first hymn
is tabooed altogether, while the latter
may be sung only after services.
Bishop O'Connor has sent this order to
the rectors of the various churches in
his diocese. At his episcopal resi-
dence in South Orange, the bishop
said:
The rule of the church forbids the
singing of any hymn or anything else
that is not part of the liturgical serv-
ice, and of course Nearer, My God. to
Thee is no more q part of the service
than is In the Sweet By and By
Aside from the church rule, this hymn
is purely sentimental, and | can see no
reason for its rendition. Lead, Kindly
Light is an appeal for spiritual light,
but then there is no cause for singing
ii In our churches"
The liturgicar service is in Latin, but
the singing of an English translation
or part of the liturgy or psalm, etc.
is sanctioned. 1t is an iron rule of the
church not to allow songs not included
in music receiving the appreciation of
the authorities.
The two hymns now excluded have
been sung frequently of late. Lead,
Kindly Light" was written by Cardi-
nal Newman before his conversion to
Catholicism.

parties were buying and selling a
piece of property.

hydrant at so cents a day for one
dollar.

the island city, and everyone is
pleased TO work for the good of the
town.

Columbia recipe for making expert
diplomats is just out IL is in the form
OF a circular announcing the number
and names of the course for diplomats
that are to be offered by Yale and
Columbia universities. which have
combined to start the first school for
diplomats in this country.
The experiment is the result OF the
efforts of Yale alumni who believe
that the diplomats sent to foreign
countries by the United States are not
all as highly trained as they should
be. President Nicholas Murray But
Ter. of Columbia. and President Arthur
T. Hadley, OF Yale, met not long ago
In New York to talk over the matter.
Secretary Elihu Root Is said to be In
sympathy with the movement and 1t
Is stated that President Roosevelt
has expressed himself as favoring
some such undertaking.
Andrew d. White. Yale SO, who
represented the United States as am.
bassador in Germany for many years,
turning to New Haven to celebrate
his fiftieth anniversary he criticised
the diplomatic service OF this coun.
try and expressed the hope that the
time would come when the United
States would train its diplomats SO
that 1t would hesitate as much to send
an unlettered, unframed man TO repre-
sent the government at some foreign
post do 1t would to send a butcher to
represent Americas surgery at an in
ternational gathering OF physicians.
AS result OF the conference be
tween the heads OF Yale and Colum
bia and government officials it wa:
decided that while neither college fel
itself qualified to undertake the plal
alone or TO offer all the desiret
courses, a combination OF the teach
ing forces OF the two unlversitie
would give wide range OF subject
from which a diplomats curriculum
could be arranged. A committee cor

THE MAKING OF DIPLOMATS.

the languages Spanish, Portuguese,
Dutch. Armenian, modern persian,
Arabic, Syrlac Turkish and Chinese.
There are also courses in history,
economics. geography, ethnography
law and religion.
According to those who have com
piled the curriculum. the system is
designed TO prepare students for
work in foreign countries, either in
the service of the United States gov
eminent, in business enterprises or as
missionaries or scientific investiga-
tors. The completion of the courses
offered, which will normally occupy
three years in the case OF candidates
for the consular service and two years
for those getting ready to go into
special fields, will entitle the students
to a certificate signed by the presi-
dents of Yale and Columbia.
To get certificate for the consular
service the following subjects have to
be studied at either Yale or Column
bia: Two languages besides English,
commercial geography, elementary
statistics. trade statistics, commerce
and commercial policy. elementary
law. Roman law, commercial law. in
ternatlonal law and history of diplo-
macy. Then seven other courses
! have to be elected by the consular
student before he can get his dual de.
gree.
Those working for a certificate for
commercial service in special fields
can cut out from the above Roman
law, international law and history OF
diplomacy, but must elect five other
| courses.
In order to enter this new school
for diplomats applicants must have
had two years of work at Yale or
Columbia, or its equivalent. BY elect
ing during his third and last year GER
tain of the required courses in the
consular school an undergraduate can
get his consular certificate by taking
one years extra work after gradua
