CAUSES FLOWERS TO GROW
Ether Given to Plants Quickens Their
Growth, as Proved by Expert
ments In Copenhagen.

Anaesthetics used upon bulbs and
plants while dormant and awaiting the
touch of spring is one of the newest
experiments reported from Copenha.
gen. Dr.. Johanssen of the Danish
capital has shown that numbers OF
| Towering plants, anaesthetized with
chloroform or with ether while in the
dormant state, awake to a remarkable
activity of growth and to superexcel-
lence in Towering, after they have
been removed to- growing conditions,
out of doors or under glass, as the
case may be.
In the matter of the Easter lily, for
example, the bulbs are incased in an
alright receptacle, while hanging
from the inner side of the closed lid
the chloroform or the ether is sus-
pended. The temperature should be
kept as near as possible to 62 degrees
Fahrenheit, and the dormant plant life
left TO the anaesthetic for as hours.
They are planted under a subdued
light for few days, after which they
appear literally TO spring from the
earth into abnormally vigorous. rapid
growth. Lilacs, azaleas and lilies of
the valley seem especially benefited
by the treatment Azaleas, potted on
February 25. were In full bloom on
March 8, while untreated specimens
In adjoining beds did not mature their
blossoms until two weeks later. The
expense of the treatment is almost
nothing, and with further experiment
tation II Is predicted that O distinctly
mercantile proposition may be
evolved.

Complaint Was "Incurable.v

A remarkable fraud has just been
worked on the Institut Pasteur In
Paris by a negro hailing from eastern
Africa. Alleging that he was suffer
ing from the terrible malady of sleep
Ing sickness, the negro was admitted
to the hospital to undergo treatment
His symptoms were diagnosed as per-
petual hunger, coupled with profound
drowsiness. The doctors at the hos
pital, believing the mans case to be a
genuine one, took him In hand and
lavished every conceivable attention
on him. A fortnight was spent by the
self-styled victim of sleeping sickness
in alternate sleeping and eating.
Eventually the negro's utter incapable.
ity to make any kind of physical effort
aroused their suspicious, and without
more ado he was discharged Some
days afterward the negro returned to
the Institut Pasteur to thank the
principal for the latter's kindness to
him. II was then that the doctors
realized that the negro's complaint
was "incurable."

Automobile racing, also, is the only

attended by danger TO the spectators
A pugilist may be beaten into uncon-
seriousness himself but those outside

at bull fight is protected against the
possibility Of injury. A football play
er may come out of a scrimmage with
a fractured collar bone. as a track

the fence and into the spectators and
under such circumstances those i'm its
way are in greater danger than its
occupants.
All this does not mean that auto
racing is not an interesting and ex-
citing sport, but the danger is too big
for the sport secured. There is a SER
ious need OF debrutallzing the race.

According To certain members of

niclpal pitfalls. including tho opening
of Hudson avenue. and the matter OF
water rights, comprising the source of

At meeting of the chamber of COM

and IL was contended on good author
ity that a formidable error had crept
into the papers involving the opening
of the avenue. which might result In
something similar to the paving enta-
clement OF 1898. when it was proven
that the city had acquired jurisdiction
illegally on Twenty.flfth street, with
the result that the city was compelled
