Forcing Plants by Light.

To force the growth of plants by
the use of artificial light is not a new
idea, but the system hitherto has been
too expensive in proportion to obtain
able results.
Recently a man engaged in horticul'
ture discovered an efficacious method
Of applying light for this purpose. Ar
ranging in winter quarters his plants
as he wished them to grow, he sup
plies a lamp with mercuey rapor fol
fuel and the seeds germinate in less
than half the ordinary time, while the
vigor and intensity Of the color of the
flowers is superior to that of the prod
uct grown naturally.
Another curious phenomenon no
ticed in connection with this action OF
light is an infinite multiplication OF
the downy substance commonly found
on stems. Those grown in shadow
have the stems relatively bare. Very
good practical results have been OBJ
tanned by this system.

been berated as chair warmers. "Some

Hot Blast of Volcanoes.

Writing in the Monthly Weather
Review George N. Cole sets forth de-
tailed arguments to prove that the
hot blast which swept over the city
Of st. Pierre during the eruption OF
Mont Pelee, as well as similar blasts
in connection with the eruption OF
vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii and
Herculaneum, the eruption Of Taal
Sakurajima, etc, derived its heat from
the sudden compression of the air sur
rounding the volcano, and not from
conditions in the volcano itself. In
other words, 1t was not, according tc
this hypothesis, an outpouring of hot
crater gases that caused the destruc
tion, but the dynamic heating of the
air attending the propagation of the
explosion wave.

YEAR RICH IN ,CENTEEARIES
Natal Day Celebrations of Many Fa-
NOUS People Will Take Place
During 1919.

This year of grace 1919 is rich in
centenaries. To begin with, it is a
hundred years since Queen Victoria ap-
peared on Mother Earth-a centenary
concerning which the monthlies will
presently he waxing eloquent, London
Tit-Bits states.
Another noted centenary of the
present year is that of the famous old
sea-dog, Admiral Rodney, the man in
whom for years the French found so
persistent an assailant, so doughty an
adversary. Twas way back in 1879
that/thiS old gentleman first delighted
his friends with his presence. The
centenary Of W. f. Foster, the states
man, will also be celebrated this year.
Few greater authorities on education
than this gifted son-in-law of the great
Doctor Arnold of Rugby ever breathed.
Among other worthless whose names
must also be mentioned in this con-
nection is that of John Campbell
Sharp, the Wordsworthian poet and
philosopher; Arthur Hugh Clough, the
poet, and Charles Kingsley, the gifted
author of that immortal thriller
s"Westward Ho"
Scotsmen will presently be doing
honor to the memory of another noted
Individual whose centenary also falls
this year-a man worthy of happier
fate-Donald Cargill, the great COW
enanter, who, it will be remembered
for daring to excommunicate the king,
was ><executed at the Old Market
Cross, Edinburgh. Neither must we
forget George Eliot, the authoress OF
that unparalleled romance, Adam
Bede."

Farmers Organizing Rapidly.

Columbia, Oct. 14-"The move
of the South is on in full blast"
said B. F. Mcleod, state manager Of
Tthe South Carolina Cotton Association
today in an appeal TO those people in
South Carolina who have not yet
Joined the association to do so. The
American Cotton Association is re-
moving the glue from the eyes OF ev-
Iery farmer in the. belt and today they
are organizing, organizing for some
thing that they have been denied for
more than half century, for fair
and just price for cotton, the most
difficult and most expensive product
grown from American soil. They are
organizing for their very freedom.
They are organizing for prosperity
and happiness, something practically
unknown to many Of them. They
are going about it in q broad and CO.
operative manner. willingly gladly,
and enthusiastically. They are being
given the fullest help by bankers,
newspapers, merchants, and profess
sioral men.
Messages are daily pouring into
! the offices OF the American Cotton
Association telling of the organiza-
tion of county after county. The
movement is sweeping the belt like
| a burning sage field. We hope soon
/ to' be able to report every county in
South Carolina thoroughly organized
mo doubt the realization on the
part Of the gamblers in the cotton fu-
ture market, spinners, spot merchants
and foreigners that the farmer is
waking up, coming into his own, has
been responsible for the more aggres-
sive demands for the spot article and
the subsequent rise in the price of
cotton of nearly three cents pound
in about that many days. Cotton mer-
chants from all sections of the belt
report the heaviest demand for cot
ton in years for this season, of the
year. Why? Because they realize that
the world faces an Unprecedented
shortage in cotton and goods and
that unless they hurry it will all be
gone. :.
Let me urge the farmers to COM
mand their price or refuse to SELL
The one sure way to dictate the price
for your cotton is to organize. The

citation, offers your opportunity

Private Cassel entrenched on the

and was wounded on the morning Of

Relating his experience in the St

Germans were not in the game at all
when the Americans started to ad
vance: as Luke LcLuke put it, its
like taking candy from the kiddies,
to beat the boche. Their resistance
was very weak, and many preferred
surrender in preference to fighting.
