EXPLAINS GROWTH OF SEEDS
English Scientist Has Discovered
That Carbonic Acid Gas Keeps
Them From Sproutina.

Why seeds should not sprout while
maturing, and why they should lie
dormant long periods of time. are
questions that occur to few who &C.
cept natures ways as a matter Of
course.
But there must be some restraining
cause to prevent growth in seeds, and
Franklin Kidd. Fellow of ST. Johns
college, Cambridge. reports in the pro-
ceedings Of the Royal society that it
Is carbonic acid gas.
Removing the part of the seed
which thin gas generates, it will
sprout before it is ripe; it will sprout
if the high partial pressure of carbon
dioxide in the atmosphere be removed.
High temperatures remove these pres
sures, hence seeds terminate best
in warm weather.
The arrested development, Mr. Kidd
finds, is not due to lack of moisture.
but solely to the narcotic effect of the
carbon dioxide.
Planters who would hasten the
sprouting process should increase the
temperature of seeds and submit them
to the pressures of oxygen.

Suddenly he stopped dead. Why,
this was the temptation of which his

that which he had done before. What

Natusha glided up to him She kneeled
at his side and put her arms around
him.
And in this position, she whispered
something to him, a woman's secret
that made his heart leap as hers was
beating then.
Benson rose to his feet. The bag.
gardness was gone from his face. He
saw his duty. He saw the years of
ease and dishonor stretching before
him, on the one hand. and. on the 9TH

himself respected. II he could not win
recognition for Natusha, he could for

This last item was confirmed news.
Lieutenant Adams had written to his
American sweetheart, warning her
not to attempt the journey owing to
the imminent outbreak of war; but
she had not received the letter, and
had considered the newspaper prog
nostications ridiculous. She was bent
on completing her art course in Eng

to become Adams BRIDE
There was no reason why Miss
Lowell should study art in order to
become the wife of lieutenant with
nothing but his pay; still, Lieutenant
Adams never thought of opposing his
sweetheart's wishes. He learned that
she was to sail on the Kronprinz a
day before his squadron put to sea,
with orders to clear the Atlantic.

response was to quicken her speed,
