Forcing Plants by Light

70 force the growth of plants by
the use of artificial light Is not
new idea. but the system
hitherto has been too expensive IN
proportion to obtainable results.
Recently a man engaged in hortioul-
ture discovered an efficacious method
OF applying light for this purpose Az
ranging In winter quarters his plants
as he wished them to grow. he supplies

and intensity of the color Of tho
flowers Is superior 20 that Of the prod

Another curious phenomenon noticed
in connection with this action OF llgh,
Is an infinite multiplication OF the
downy substance commonly found OF
stems. Those grown in shadow have
the stems relatively bare. Very good
practical results have been obtained
by this system.

strategic lines OF the two greatest Gem

withdrew to Gaul and trained the
army that put the Roman Empire in

New York as mirrored in this mind,
active, cultivated. keen, which came
upon the city full grown. though
soaked in the traditions OF the city's
youth. and go understanding as no
stranger could, presents a vivid pic
ture for which many persons wander
ing in the Manhattan wonderland must
have yearned.
Chaloner's mind works fast. He
possesses an amazing ability to de-
velop q subject with infinite varia-
tons. His diversions are at times dis
conoerting and mystifying, but always
he swings back to his main theme and
ties UP his scattered threads Of
thought into a pattern to prove his
point. 1t was thus that the talk ran
with him the other evening. 1t started
with an allusion to his brother Robert
Winthrop Chanler, who had almost
met him in the lobby of the hotel few
minutes before. 1t was of him that
Chaloner asked his famous question
who's loony now?" when Bob mar
ried Lima Cavalieri.
Admires Them a. Doors.
Bob" he added. sis all right and
I wish him well. But we will never
meet. Bob was the Benjamin of the
family, the youngest, and I always had
a sort Of paternal love for him. THIN,
too, he had nothing to do with the pro-
ceedings that sent me to Blooming
dale. And as an artist in his field
think he has no equal. His sense of
line. his sense Of color and design,
20 30
daring skill in the execution Of things
like his decorative panels, are superb.
And I appreciate all he has done. So,
too. appreciate what the others have
done. Lewis was a good lawyer in
his criminal practice and I am sorry
his health has been bad lately. Win
throp had a fine record in the war
with Spain and understand he has
done we'll in France this time as a
staff officer. They are Doors and
admire that In them.
But don't let there be any misun-
derstanding-I'm at war with them
and there are no neutrals. That's
why I won't see Bob. He's made his
bed with the enemy and in justice to
my. principles I will have nothing to
do with him. any more than I would
fratern!ze with the others. It's war,
1t always has been. and 1t always will
be-until win."
The militant mood was strong on
Mr.. Chaloner for the moment He says
he inherits that from a long line of
soldier ancestors, among whom he
numbers the Gen. John Armstrong for
whom he was named, a soldier on
Washington's staff and later United
States Minister to the court of Napo-
leon l.; Col. Henry Armstrong Of the
War of 1912. Marion. the South Caro-

man. Gov. John Winthrop OF Massa-
chusetts. and that of most of the New
York families who might call them
selves Knickerbocker.
From old Gen. John Armstrong, he
says, he inherits the ability to fight
with his pen. For old Gen. John was
the author of the "Newburgh letters

Western world to-day. It Is histori-
cally as we'll as artistically SYM
metrical.
Chaloners frequent references to
the classic prompted an inquiry as to
his classic sources. He says he knows
Momsen and Gibbon and Liddell from
cover to cover and back again. He
doesn't read the Lains in the orig
inal. because he admits that scholar
ship bloomed late in his life. He con-
fesses that despite his masters degree
from Columbia he did only enough
work to barely get by.
II hired a man to write my theses
for me-" he confesses. but l was hon.
est about it and l had him write them
down to fifty per cent, enough to pass
and no better than I could have done

try"
But in his pocket always, now
thumbmarked and pesrn-ared with
notes, rides a little volume of the
sonnets Of William Shakespeare. or
other poets he reads Milton. Byron
and Keats. He knows Walt Whitman
well and he has read Edgar Lee Mas

he says is 'lecherous. vulgar. squalid,
sordid and vicious, devoid Of beauty
as the futurists are devoid of art"
Poe, he says, is the king of melody,
and he criticises Keats for lack Of in
tellectuality. Shakespeare, Milton,
and Byron. the intellectual melodists,
he ranks above them all, though even
against Shakespeare he complains
that many of his grandest sonnets
peter out into a mere passionate in

this feeling of disappointment after
finishing the Shakespearian sonnet

Byron is far more intellectual than
Wordsworth--but Byron, too, has his

The Paris Prize Of which Chaloner
spoke in connection with his parting
from his wife is a fund now amount
ing to nearly hundred thousand dol
lars. He started It in 1890 with a con-
tribution Of $4,000 himself. Others
Of his family and friends brought the
amount up to nearly $4,000 and little
has ever been drawn from 1t following
its founders commitment. It lies still
in a New York trust company accuInu-
lating interest, though a litigation IS
now in process to recover 1t for the
purpose Tor which It was intended.
That purpose is the endowment of an
American art student every two years
for two years study in Paris and three
years study at other centres Of art.
Chaloner has sketched an elaborate
scheme for the selection of tho winners
through long series Of weekly exhibit
tons In the various American art
schools.
Elsewhere Chaloner has stated that
the real reason he parted from his wife
was because she refused to take seri-
ously to painting. He thought she
was a portraitist only to be rivalled by
John Sargent at the time, but she in
sisted on sticking to her novels, which
he did not think good for the most
part, and this undoubtedly contributed
TO their growing differences.
Since being taken out of this dis
tinguished busy world of Paris and
New York which he knew Chaloner's
only friends have been his books.
He lives absolutely alone in his house
at Merry Mills. Even his servants go
to other structures on the big farm at
night. He maintains an office force Of
several people there. and they too
have quarters apart. There for
twenty years he has read and written.
He takes active interest in local en-
terprises in which he has invested ard
made money, including a hydroelectric
corporation. He is a devoted horse
man. He has several sturdy animal
on his place and one of pure blood
and 1t is dull day indeed when h.
doesn't get at least few minutes III
the saddle.
Out OF that quiet life alone or on tn,
art roads of Virginia he has again
been projected into New York. He doc
not profess any longer to dress in tho
fashion. His clothes are of fine fab
ric, but of odd cut. He wears a stiff
nat that was never made east OF Ilo
ooken. About his neck Is ALWAYS u
soft stock. But he is tolerant even o.
New fork's foibles. The subway lars
nm frishtfuily. but he adrnires its
marvellous speed. With his sonncts or
Shakespeare in his pocket he s.,
through real lobster palace cabars,
the other night, and has promised
with CLEAN In his eye. to step across
Washington Square for the next
Greenwich Village ball
