FARM TO BE ADAMLEss EDEN.
Russian Woman Plans Philanthropic
Experiment on Long island.

Long Island is TO have an "Adamless
Eden" Nine. Davidoff. a native of
Russia. but now a resident of New
York City. is establishing an expert
mental farm at Bellcrest near North
port, Long Island. which will be OPP
Grated by women. Men will be barred
from the greenhouses, where fruits
and flowers are 10 be grown every
month in the year by the aid of cleo
tricity While similar experiments
have been made by this and other
Governments. Nine. Davidoff believes
her experiments will prove more sue
cessful than those carried on by the
Bureau of Plant Industry of the De
partment Of Agriculture
Nine Davidoff is a writer for mag
azines. She saws the experiments will
be based on the theory that the growth
of vegetable matter, which ceases az
shutdown. will continue through the
night II proper artificial light is sup
piled to stimulate the developing
powers Of plants. Fruits and flowers
that are grown IN this section only
in the spring and summer months. she
believes, can be cultivated during the
entire year by supplying the necessary
artificial heat through the electrical
process that will be adopted.
This is not intended as a money
making enterprise" said Nine David
of recently. While. Of course. We
expect the experiments to prove sue
cessful and the farm to be self-sup-
porting. yet my object Is TO make II a
philanthropic enterprise with the view
of helping members OF my own sex. as
well as 10 prove the scientific value
OF the plan which | have been ex-
perimenting with for several years.
There is no connection between my
venture and the utterances of Sir
Oliver Lodge. the English sayant, rela
tive TO the influence Of electricity on
plant life The two systems differ
chiefly from the fact that all Of my
experiments are made under glass and
under certain conditions a static ma
chine is used in addition TO dynamos"
Active work on the farm at Belle
crest will begin, she says. within one
month upon the completion Of the
necessary buildings and the installa-
tion OF the electrical apparatus.-New

sUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY.

You can discourage a man past 90

Every boy has an uncOnquerable
longing to Kill a wild goose.
A really dangerous man generally

Admire a mans teeth, and some one
present Is reminded that he has no

Cash, photographs and compliments
all come under a woman's list or
debts TO be paid.
A cross man would be worth at
least a dollar day more IL he would
become good-natured.
What has become Of the old-fash-
toned boy who. when asked his name,
replied, "Pudentaine?"
When age and love together begin
their softening influence on a man,
the result is often dangerous.
When a man is governed by your
advice il is another indication that
you are good at guessing what peo-
pie want
A man suddenly becomes awfully
polite and considerable for the public
when an opposition business is start

One OF the meanest things about
people is that after they have been ac-

tell stories on each other.

Some women cook for men as

10 return and look upon the Marabout.
They found him near the spot where
he had SO mysteriously disappeared,
but he could not answer their Ques-
lions. He could tell them nothing at
all. and only gazed wildly at them like
one bereft OF his senses. He was en-
tirely ignorant OF what had happened
TO him.
This was Houdin's closing exhibit

minds OF the people with wonder. he
was venerated by all. while the pre-

He had met these conjurers on their

Houdin returned 10 his home. He had
made no pecuniary terms with the
