Fruits RIpensd by Drug vapers.

Horticulturists have for some time
been experimenting on the effects to
be obtained by subjecting plants to
the vapor OF ether, ehloroform and
other volatile substances. They have
found that the growth Of many fruits
and flowers can be forced by this
method and have obtained particularly
striking results with lilacs, which they
have thus been able readily to obtain
in winter. An American agriculturist
has experimental more particularly in
the effect Of these and other sub
stances on the ripening Of fruit. His
observations have shown that in the
majority of cases the more volatile
the substance to which the plant Is
treated the more rapid is the ripening
In forcing the ripening of dates, for
instance, he found that the best re-
suits were obtained when he employed
aeetic, proprionic, Tactic or salicylic
acid. Heat powerfully stimulates the
ripening process and one of the pecul-
iarities of fruits thus forced to ma
turity is that they are generally found
20 keep better than those which have
ripened naturally.

An American, in visiting the London
postoffice, observed that the newspa-
per box had large mouth, and, with
the curiosity Of the average American
tourist, he stood gazing into it. Sud-
denly bale of newspapers struck
him and he fell into the box.
His companions hurried to the coun-
ters to rescue him, but owing to the
red tape Of the English postoffice the
clerks disregarded their appeals. The
American was in the mail box and
would have to be treated as a mail
matter. They therefore stamped him
and threw him into compartment
containing provincial newspapers.
The unfortunate mans friends there
upon went to the chief. who listened
phlegmatically to their story, then
asked If their friend was addressed.
On being informed that he was not,
the chief said:
The matter is simple The man will
remain for six months in the bureau.
At the end of that time, If no one ap-
plies for him, he will be burnt as a
dead letter"

WOULD PROLONG
HUMAN LIFE

Washington, d. c., Sept. 2S.- Wit
thirty-two leading governments ant
forty-eight states pouring their wealtl
of knowledge to improve public wei
fare and to prolong human life int
one common fund for the worlds use
the Fifteenth International Congress
on Hygiene and Demography opened
its weeks session here this morning
-Four hundred and fifty of the foremos
sanitary authorities in the world IL
formal addresses will contribute the
latest discoveries and methods in theil
respective countries in the realm Of
adding comfort and years to human
life. 1t is expected that the attend
ance at the nine sections into which
the congress is divided will number
five thousand including many OF the
national, state and city health officials
OF this country.
While the object of the congress is
to extend the knowledge and improve
the practice of hygiene and public
health In all the countries which par
ticipate, it is believed these benefits
will accrue in largest measure to the
country which is for the time being
the host OF the congress. That the
state and municipal public health Off
cials of this country attending the con.
gress will have support outside of i'm.
mediate sanitary circles in seeking to
put into effect various health reforms
that will be suggested by the congress
is indicated by the action of large bus
mess enterprises in being represented
at the proceedings. Among these is
the Association Of Life Insurance
Presidents, which is represented by
its general counsel, r. l.. Cox of New
York and by its health committee as
follows; +. w. jenkins, chairman,
Binghamton, N. Y; j. r. Clark. Gin
cinnati, o.; w. f. Dix, New York
j. l.. English, Hartford Conn; j x.
Gore, Newark, N. j. DR.. A. S. Knight,
New York; f. S. Scott, Springfield
ILL.,
The committee has systematically
subdiyided the program of the con
gress so that at least one member will
be present at each address of interest
TO it. In particular the committee is
following that part of the work of the
congress dealing with the control OF
contagious diseases, including typhoid
fever diphtheria, cerebro-spina men
ingitis, tuberculosis, etc; with the san
itary aspects of public water supplies
including the sanitary control of water
sheds, the publication of water by
storage, water purigcation in Europe
by biological methods; water steriliza
ton by chemical methods and will
the disposal of sewage and wastes by
various processes now carried on il
the European countries. Wherever
knowledge as to improved methods is
obtained it is the intention of the life
insurance interests to systematically
aid constituted authorities in applying
those methods to conditions in this
country, In this way, it is hoped tC
improve the mortality experience
among life insurance policy-holders
It has been contended for some time
by Prof, Irving Fisher of Yale Univer
sity that the practical application Of
all the reforms now known to modern
hygiene would add fifteen years to the
span of life in the United States
