PLANTS BY ELECTRICITY
Current Utilized ,o 5tImuate Develop.
ment Of Vegetation.

The new system which has been In
troduced by Mr.. B. II. Thwait. a ia.
nous electrical engineer, undertakes
to supply all the necessities of the liv-
ing plant From a single gas engine,
connected with an electrical apparatus,
1t is possible to obtain artificial light,
carbonic acid gas, heat and energizing
current to stimulate the growth of
both the upper and lower portions Of
the plant.
II is a simple point but In these ex-
periments it has been found to be a
very important one, to have the cleo
trio arc continuously on the move.
This Is arranged by affixing the lamp
to small motor which runs up and
down the house on rails. A moments
thought will show the purpose of this
device. Owing to the apparent move
ments Of the sun, the rays from the
solar orb are never stationary for a
single minute on any part of vegeta.
ton. Another special feature is the
placing Of water screen SO that the
electric rays passing through this me
dium are robbed of most of their heat.
Very much the same process goes on
In the case of the sun and our world
The rays Of light as they reach us
have been toned down from much Of
their fierceness because they have
passed through that which is practical
ly a water screen, composed Of count
less myriads Of moisture particles
which go to make up our atmosphere.
If there is one direction more than
another in which the use of electric
light might be advantageously taken
up by the gardeners, in the opinion Of
s. Leonard Bastin, who writes in the
World To-day, it is in the growing of
gIeenstuffs for salads, etc. The great
secret in the production Of this partic-
ular class Of material is TO encourage
speedy development; not only that
the stuff may be out of the way quick
ly, but because It is more sweet and
tender Such plants as mustard and
cress, lettuce, and other salads, re-
spond in magical way to electric
rays. The crops are ready in about
half the usual period, and an i'm
mense saving Of time is the result
with the further advantage that the
produce commands a high price be-
cause it is good.

The evening was gloomy and dark
and chill rain was falling. All along
the coast the fog horns were sounding
reminding one somehow of the weird
and melancholy night mooing of COWS

But in the little sitting room Of

The young manager, who seemed
very much elated, was explaining to
his wife, the quarrel of the morning
which lay on the table. 1t was the

Charles Garth bent over and kissed

each is soldered one of the brass
tubes, with its length perpendicular
to the disk. When it is desired to use
them, the tubes are slipped over the
ends of the rods, crystal placed be-

so as to hold the crystal In place. Car
borundum and silicon are the most
common crystals, although there are
many others that produce excellent re-
suits.

According to LElectricien, a Vienna
Arm has recently placed on the market
brushes made of glass, which are to re-
place emery cloth for cleaning and pol

to clean the commutators without scor-

cloth.

1t has been proposed to use electro
magnets for lifting and handling large
panes of glass, states the Engineer.
This is accomplished by placing a
piece Of sheet iron under the glass and
applying one or more electro-magnets
on the upper face of the glass. The
electro-magnets attract the sheet iron,
and thereby hold the glass suspended
while moving.

enough to reach through both holes.
The wire then may be pushed through
this tube and the latter withdrawn.
A tube or pipe having a five-sixteenths-

for general work. For bell wires a
smaller one may be used. This little
device will prove time-saver for the

Blanche Garth's husband the man

to the town where they we're to play
that night. The quarrel that morning
had not been Of his seeking. She had
goaded him into saying what he had
