pharmacist license to sell liquor for
medical purposes was granted J. I.

the granting of certain saloon licenses
but all were granted unanimously.
The fact that Lancaster justices
are not provided with certain neces-
sary law books was brought to the
attention of the council and a motion
carried that the purchase of the same
be left to the city clerk and city at
torney.
The water works committee present
ed list of tools at the pumping
station and their value. 1t is propos-
ed that the city buy that part of the
equipment which at present belongs
to Supt. Stephens. This matter was
left in the hands of the committee
and further report will be made to
the council at future meeting.
The attention of the council was
called to the lack of proper fire pro-
lection at the pumping station. At
present there is no outside hydrant to

was also left to the superintendent
and the waterworks committee who
will take steps to procure the neces-
sary equipment.

Bio Yield OF EtherIred Rhubarb.

Interesting and rather important re.
suits were obtained with the forcing
Of rhubarh by the use Of ether in eS,
pcrmenls at Cornell station. The
roots were dug after growth had
ceased m the fan and placed IN an
airtight chamber in which was set a
DISH containing a halfounce OF ether
Then the plants were removed 10 the
cellars, according TO the usual method
of cullargrowu rhubarb The crop OF
'hc roots treated with ether shows a
big gain, both In size and weight OF
the individual stocks and IN earlincss
The yield was increased more than
sixty per cent It Is probable that the
roots would be good for nothing after
such forcing, but with these results,
the grower could afford TO produce a
new set Of roots for use each year
The combination Of larger yield and
tarlIncss makes a vast difference In
the receipts from the rhubarb crop.
