Athenian prisoners were confined and
left to die of hunger and thirst. This
happened in 413 B. c.. when the Athe-
mans under Nicias and Demosthenes
were defeated by the Syracusans, who
were aided by the Spartans. History
records that the ships of the Athe-
mans were destroyed and about 30
900 men killed, while 5000 were made
prisoners. The quarries where the
prisoners were placed to perish SO
cover many acres In extent,
having been hewn from the solid
rock by multitude OF slaves. Tradi-
ton does not say whether they are
haunted. but 1t would be no matter
for surprise II the spirits OF those
old Athenian soldiers yet hung around
the scene of their greatest misery
watching for chance to get ever
with some one.

Briggs, are trying to demonstrate is that static
electricity when applied to soil and air will
stimulate the growth of plants in such environ
ment There is ample evidence of the sound
ness of the theory within reasonable limits.
Indeed, the benefit that may be conferred by
such electric discharges is illustrated by the
f1ourshing development (until frostbitten) of
plants in the Arctic regions where there Is, OF
course, mighty little sunlight, but where the at
mosphere is heavily charged with electricity.
Moreover, preliminary experiments which were
recently conducted in England along the same
lines that Uncle Sam is pursuing indicated
that there increase of 80 to 40 per cent
in the yield of wheat that had been thus dosed
with electricity and the wheak hewisA
brought better price per blaf 3s pasSs Test
had evidenced that it was superior for bread
baking.
The officials of the department OF agricul-
ture make 1t very clear that their present ven
ture in electroculture-as the new activity IL
termed-is purely experimental and they make
no prophecies as to Just what they hope to
discover The interesting point Is that they
are determined to find out just how much
electricity will do to aid the farmer. They
have made the most elaborate plans too. for
measuring the influence exerted. To this end
the experimental area has been appOrtioned In
fourteen plots of uniform size and all have
been planted in the same good grade OF win

from the wires. Nevertheless, for all that.
