FORCING GROWTH OF PLANTS
intelligence of Man Is Enabling Him
to Become Master of Nature and
the Seasons.

By degrees man is becoming mas
ter of the seasons. Light and cleo
tricity are being pressed into his serv-
Ice, and he can already force on plant
growth so rapidly that he can beat
the ordinary process of Nature by
many weeks.
One method Is to treat seed, be-
fore planting 1t, with snail doses of
high-tension electricity. In 1910 trial
was made of this method near Burn
ham-On- Crouch, in Essex, England.
Spring wheat is usually sown in March
or april On this occasion the wheat
of which the seed had been treated
by this special process, was not sown
until July 10. 1t was up in five days,
and on September 16 was in ear. 1t
was reaped u weeks from the time 1t
was sown, whereas the ordinary time
for wheat to mature in that country
is Is weeks.
Another method of forcing crops is
to run a current Of electricity through
overhead wires. In this way the yield
of oats and beans has been nearly oOu-
bled. Experiments tried last year at
Lineluden Mains farm in Dumfries-
shire, were practically successful.
third method is to use artificial light.

lene. Plants are thus made to grow
by night as well as by day. Cabbages
and lettuce are easily forced in this
way, but other plants such as carrots,

As her hand frightened upon my arm

Of Broadway and staring intently

He was of a singular appearance.
He wore fur coat with a collar of
Persian lamb, and on his head was a
lambskin cap such as worn in colder

foreign, and 1 imagined that he was

"And you are my friend? Well,

answered.

of which was the legend: "a. E. f.

The history of Company D from
1878, printed in Coblenz, an attrac-
tive little booklet with the red arrow
of the Thirty-Second on the cover, and
ON all the maps of the company's adj
vances in the war zone, is another
item.
Among other things sent are: A

Vain hope! When 1 asked for a
room for her the clerk would eye her
furs obviously, look over his book in
pretense, and then inform me that the
hotel was full.
My curiosity had given place to deep
anxiety on her account. What was
this child doing in New York alone,
and what sort of father had let her
come. if her story were true? What
was she? She looked French and had
something of the French frankness.
There was only one thing to do, and,

it had to be made.

In my intercourse with my fellow

In true meekness.. There Is a. divine

Quite the ugliest face ever saw was
that of a woman whom the world calls
beautiful. On the other hand.

attractive, and such as nature fash

Some WatcnI

While the latest thing in watches is
the thin, round or octagon gold time
piece. Capt. Martin Van Buren, Bates,
who died at his home in Seville, Ohio,
wore a watch that weighed four
hounds. II was set with diamonds and
a delicate set of chimes sounded the
hours as the watch rested in his vest
pocket. 1t was gift from Queen Vic
toria.
1t may be explained that the man
who wore the four-pound watch was a
famous giant. He stood Z feet inches
and weighed $50 pounds. He was born
in eastern Kentucky. and served as a
soldier in the command of Gen. John
Morgan, the confederate cavalry lead
er. he later toured the world with a
,ircus with his first wife. Annie Swan,
who was s feet tall.
