queried Hernandez, smiling in his

The Berliner Tageblatt announces
that experiments made by Professor
Kubler of the Technical high school
Of Dresden, have shown surprising re-
suits, SO much so that the discovery
may revolutionize agriculture in the
empire.
Professor Kubler's idea was to inn
part certain warmth artihcially to the
soil, and the method he adopted has
been remarkably successful, so that
crops can be grown and harvested in
very short time, and several crops OBJ
tanned throughout the year.

the method would be too expensive to
be of any value.
In the experiment several acres
were planted early this year-wheat,
corn, potatoes, oats, rice and beans.
The crops not only grew very fast, but
when harvested were heavier in
weight than crops grown under un-
usual conditions.
