No Human Waste in Germany.

From the New York Journal OF Commerce
1t will be admitted that the rapid in
crease of the German population from
40. 900 900 after the war to over 10000 900
today, suggests the need of fresh terri
tories for expansion. 1t is true that the
rate of emigration has shrunk to very
small dimensions indeed, side by side
with the great industrial development of
the empire. and even today the area of
Germany could maintain a considerably
larger population. But If immigration is
to be resumed, as it can hardly fail to be
some day, it is felt to be deplorable that
the Germans who settle abroad should be
lost to the empire, as are unquestionably
those who go to North and South
America or to British colonies. The
theory. that only expanding states are of
any account in the world, with the fur
Their conviction that the German nation
must and shall take its share in the dom
ination of the world by the white races,
has had its due influence in consolidating
the colonial party. The program of this
organization is necessarily somewhat
nebulous because of the fact that there
are few unoccupied parts of the world
left suitable for white colonization. But
that did not preclude the hope of the
pan-German agitators that I'm the tenn
perate zone of South America there might
one day be found the opportunity to es-
tablish new province of the empire.

No other device means quite so much

many blooms on a single plant. are in
clined to wither quickly, and for this
reason each flower Is cleverly gummed
TO Its stem, thus making 1t last con-
siderably longer.
The making of perfume always has
been closely related to the raising of
flowers. Grasse, France. is one of the
most important centers of this indus
try. There every variety Of perfume
giving flowers Is to Ls found. 1t
takes 10000 pounds of rose petals to
make a single pound OF altar of roses,
valued at 5000. For a pound of ne
roll. the basis of eau de cologne,
thousand pounds of the petals of the
bitter orange are needed. The per-
fume Is made by saturating lard with
the oil of the flower. and in some cases
the blossoms have to be changed as
many as eighty times before the mix
ture Is sufficiently strong. The flowers
most used are violets. jassamine.
orange blossoms, 5onquils, roses. Law
ender, tuberoSes and heitotrope.
Ambergris Is used as. q basis for
nearly all standard perfumery. This
article was first found floating on the
surface of the sea or lodged upon the
shore. Just how 1t became connected
with the manufacture OF perfumery
is unknown, but 1t has been employed
in that industry for centuries. Only
recently has its origin become known.
1t is nothing more than the morbid Sc
erection OF the liver of sick sperma-
ceti whale. 1t Is described as being a
waxy substance. disagreeable to sight
and touch, but even in Its crude state
giving off a pleasant odor. II Is sub
jected to chemical action to extract
the part called amberine. The largest
price on record as having been paid
for ambergris was $4,000 for q mass
weighing 1870 pounds, which was
found on the Windward Islands.
Iu New York city the Plant. Flower
and Fruit Guild Is doing much to-
ward culttvating love OF nature
among the poor and sick. This or
ganization has been working for a
number of years. and with little or no
capital has been accomplishing splen-
did results. One reason for this Is
because outside people have aided the
cause. The first purpose was to sys-
tematize the distribution OF the flow
ers among the sick and poor, but this
has grown into the larger field of en-
deavorfng to awaken a love OF nature
and Of civic improvement among the
people. The flowers come from many
voluntary sources. the wild blossoms
gathered In the country being side by
side with those used at the social
functions of the four hundred
Another help has come from the
express companies. who have issued
labels allowing free transportation
within radius of one hundred miles
for all boxes OF flowers or plants not
weighing over twenty pounds. Over
a thousand window boxes have been
distributed among the tenement
jewellers and out Of this number only
two or three died for want OF care.

daily by the Guild runs AZ high as

THE CULTURE OF FLOWERS

stitutions which receive these floral
offerings are about hundred and if
ty. Not only has JOY and happiness
entered into the life OF the poor. but
many children have been taught the
lesson of helpfulness. In many small
towns there are gardens being tend
ed by children for the exclusive use
of the guild.
Many queer things are to be en-
countered in Nature. Gas can be
weighed, but the wisest scientist has
not yet been able to weigh scent.
grain OF musk has been kept ex-
posed in a room to which the air has
had free access for ten years, and dur
ing all Of this time the air, though
constantly changed, was thoroughly
impregnated with the odor. The most
remarkable point in connection with
this experiment was that at the end
of that time the particle of musk
had not sensibly diminished In weight.
Perfumes are claimed to be both In
furious and beneficial. In several
cases singers and public speakers
have been troubled with throat az
fections which they discovered were
caused by violet perfume. 1t Is claim
ed that as long as a flower has any
oder whatever It Is injurious. and the
the violet IL the greatest offender. On

let figures most prominent in his list
Lavender Is said to be soothing, and
1t Is claimed that the lavender scent
ed sheets of our grandmothers were
splendid sleep producers JASMINE
Is said to be good as q general tonic.
Another instance in which Nature
has demonstrated her cleverness is
that Of the Spanish bayonet, which Is
80 abundant on the mountain slopes
grows to a height Of about fifteen feet,
and acquires diameter of from six
to eight inches. On a single one of
these stalks AZ many as 5000 blossoms
may be seen. These flowers are so
constructed az to make self fertilixa-
ton seem impossible. and scientists
believe that this service Is performed
for the plants by q small white moth
which makes nocturnal visits. This
little insect goes to one flower and
accumulates the pollen by rolling 1t
into little ball with its feet. Thus
laden. the moth flies away to another
bloom and deposits its load.
The Department OF Agriculture has
made several successful experiments
with the poppy as a source OF opium.
These were tried In Vermont. Cali
fornia and Texas, the best results be-
ing obtained in the first named State.
1t was found that morphine could be
directly obtained from the poppy. This
plant can readily be grown In the up
land regions skirting the Appalachian
range and those adjoining the Rocky
Mountains. The value OF such an In
