HOW COLOR AFFECTS GROWTH.
Result of Experiments Upon Plants
Forcing Flowers by Anaethetics.

From the Chicago Tribune
Color agriculture is the latest. Ca
mile Flammarion put seedlings of the
sensitive plant into four differen,
houses-an ordinary conservatory, q
blue house, an ordinary greenhouse, a
red house.
After a few months waiting he
found the little plants in the blue house
practically just as he had put them in
They seemingly had fallen asleep and
remained unchanged. In the green
glass house they had grown more thar
in the ordinary glass house, but they
were Weedy and Dor In the red house
the seedlings had become positive
giants, we'll nourished and we'll devel-
oped, fifteen times as big as the nor
NAL plants. In the red light the plants
had become representative. 1t was
found that the blue light retards the
processes of decay as well as those of
growth.
Perhaps the most extraordinary de-
Velopment Is that of forcing plants by
the use Of anaesthetics. 1t was the
discovery of DR.. Johnannesen, of Cop
enhagen. The plants are put into a
box into which ether is evaporated.
The heavy vapOr descends and envelops
he plants. After forty-eight hours the
plants are taken out and placed in a
cool house. The buds and plants at
once begin TO sprout far more rapidly
than those plants hat have not been
treated with anaesthetic. Chloroform
also can be used.
DR.. Johannesen suggests that we
here come on the question of repose in
plants. In France, by setting up a sort
of lightning conductor in the center of
a field and connecting it with a net
work Of wires running through the soil
of the field, an increase of so per cent.
was secured in a potato crop. The cleo
tricity was drawn from the atmo-

cesslNe fatigue and nerve exhaustion.
Inc husband comes home warm and
tired from the days work. The Wife
also has had an exhausting day. one
or them does not feel inclined to con-
V~ersation, the other does; a quarrel
starts, grows, gets more and more Sc
rious, simply because neither has the
energy to stop 1t. If you see your hus-
band or sweetheart Is very tired, don't
force him to talk; If you are very tired
don't try to talk. Silence Is

THE NOSE INDICATES
CHARACTER.

\ The Roman nose denotes a
\ propensity for adventure.
= A wide nose with open nos
+ trils is a mark of great sensu-
: ality.
: A cleft nose shows benevo-
lence; it was the nose or ST.
Vincent de Paul.
A straight lose denotes a
; Just, serious, fine, ~judicious and
energetic mind.
The curved. feshy nose is a
, mark of domination and cruel
ty; Catharine de Medici and
; Elizabeth, Of England, had
noses of this kind.
The curved, thin nose is n
mark of a brilliant mind, but
; vain, and disposed TO be iron
; zeal; it is the nose of a dreamer,
; a poet or a critic.
II is desirable that the nose
should be as long as possible,
this being a sign of merit, pow
er and genius; for instance, Ma
poleon and Caesar had long
noses.
If the line of the nose be
re-entrant-that is, if the nose
is turned up-it denotes that
the owner has a weak mind,
sometimes coarse, and generally
playful, pleasant or frolicsome.

hard, inevitable bit of materialism Is
sure to enter and possibly spoil their
romance. There are, of course, lei
who need not worry I'VE such matters
as these. Having inherited or earned
wealth, the problem of housekeeping is
easily solved.
Nevertheless this is a problem that
has and will continue to perplex young
lovers as long as lovers exist.
A few might choose TO follow the
precedent set by a bride in Pennsyl-
vania. Here a man and a maid, with
cut any means to speak of, decided TO
defy fate and be married. This they
did and II was when the guests, of
which there were a large number, came
forward TO congratulate them that the
bride conceived an extraordinary and
a: the same time effective way of rails
ing Il housekeeping fund. When the
first lips reached forward to meet hers,
they were met with the announcement
that 1t cost a dollar to kiss the bride.
1t soon became known that any who
would pay the price could have a kiss
and the now blushing bride was kept
busy for some considerable time. To a
good purpose, however, for when the
money was counted the fund was found
TO exceed $500. This solved their finan-
cial problem in q very satisfactory
manner, n illustrates the courage of
a woman-the resourcefulness OF a
bride who is determined that her mar
rfage shall net be a failure.

TIME CHANGES THINGS.

Did you ever notice that a girl who
has been reared in a home where every
thing is proper, pretty and prim, will
lose every particle of her artistic taste
if she marries a good natured man who
does not know what artistic sense is?

TIRED ALL THE TIME
Men and Boys Who Lounge in
 inc Lots and Woods.


 Just at present there seems to be many "Sons of rest" in our city. With the coming of warm weather a num- Der of workers who during the summer do not care to offend laziness in the slightest manner, quit their positions to enjoy the balmy breezes in some shady meadow. During the past couple of weeks an occasional walk towards couple of lots in the city where base ball is played shows that the number of boys and adults that were loafing was surprising. And the majority of them were lounSins around under the trees, not having enough life in them to take part i'll the scrub game which was being play ed. There were more than fifty in the crowd, and 1t was thought it just hap pened that they were there in the afternoon in question. But a few days later walk through the lot was taken and there was almost the same crowd. To all appearances it was their rendezvous. There were rep resentatives from all sections of the city. Truly the summer weather is for reaching in its effects.

BOY GOT AWAY
Detective Keegan Was Badly ln-
 jured in the Chase.

Detective w. P. Keegan is confined to his home on Beacon street suffer- ing from a dislocated ankle. the re- suit of mishap yesterday afternoon while pursuing fugitive from just ice in Prospect. The runaway Is Clarence Higgins, aged 15 years, who is charged with stealing $160 from the Beckwith Advertising ag- ency of New York. The firm traced him to Waterbury, where he was lost sight of. Then the local detectives took up the case and traced him at farm house in Prospect where he was boarding under an assumed name. They were not quite sure of their man, and in order to make no mis- take Robert Sykes, member of the agency came here yesterday and went out there with the detective. When they came within sight of the house Higgins spotted them and took to his heels, bareheaded and without a coat. The men gave chase and after a hard run Keegan was within six feet of his man when he stepped be- tween two stones and wrenched his ankle. This gave Higgins chance to make good his escape and the de- tective had to hop through the woods for almost mile before he came to a house. Sykes got lost in the woods and Keegan had nobody to lean upon. He was put in carriage and driven to the police station from where he was removed to his home in charge of Doorman Lynch. No bones were broken but the ligiments are sprain- ed and he will be laid up for some time.
 Later Detectives Dodds and Coles anto went out that way and upon inquiring where Higgins was stop ping found his coat and $35 in one of the pockets. He also had a bicycle valued at $35 and valise worth about $10. Higgins is at large coatless and hatless and the detectiv- es are securing the country for him. He was seen at different places by men who were out having but nobody took any particular notice of him. The woods are full of youngsters these times some very scantily clad so that the presence of fifteen year old boy romping about bareheaded and minus coat is not an unusual sight, but he will have hard time to keep out of the way of the sleuths and besides the lady from whom he rented room says if he returns she will see that he is detained until the officers get hold of him.

 NEW YORK, July 13.-The fishing schooner Natalie B.
