Plant Anesthetlzation.

Sir Jagadsh Chandra Bose, an East
Indian scientist of note, has made the
curious discovery that If any tree or
plant is to be subjected to a severe shock
such as is involved when 1t is removed
from one place in the ground to another,
it Is much more likely to survive If 1t is
au@ sthetized before the operation Is per-
formed. This seems far-fetched as
sertion, but Its accuracy is matter of
fact, not of opinion, and the disooverer
says that he has tested 1t repeatedly in
transplanting experiments and that his
success has been remarkable.
Expert florists have for years been &C.
customed to work on this theory in re-
tarding the blossoming of plants so as to
get the flowers mature at Easter or
Christmas. The vital activities of plants,
exactly like those of animals, can be
suspended by an@sthetics.
Sir Jsgadish Chandra Bose has In.
vented also an extremely curious piece
of mechanism now on exhibition In Lon.
don. By the use of this, the growth and
movements of plants are 80 magnifed as
to become easily visible when shadowed
on screen. These exhibitions give the
observers of them q clearer realization
than they had before Of the fact that
plants not only are alive, but that their
lives are active and purposeful In much
the same way as are the lives of animals.

.UARIUS.
To Plant Potatoes.

The farmers of Newry are going into
the potato business with all their might.
They are to make this place rival the
famous potato fields of Aroostook Coun-
ty. Every piece of land that is plant
able will be utilized for potatoes. The
reason for making specially of the
tuber this season Is because there Is
bound to be a scarcity and the potato
will command high price. The farm.
ers are planning to work nights during
planting season. Several of the farmers
have purchased tractors which will take
the place of many men, as workers are
scarce.

Something Of the devastation Of war
can be realized from the statement Of
Captain Andre Tardieu, former high

says during the five years of the war
France mobilized 10000 men, and of
these 100000 were killed, 10000
MANNED and 100000 wounded. France
thus lost Sc per cent Of her young men
under 80 years of age. It might also be
added that 900 900 houses were de-
stroyed, 70, ,OOO,O 900 acres of arabic land
laid waste, 5000 miles Of railroad and
25, 900 miles OF highways destroyed. To

he was the spirit Of joviality. He

out. Mr.. Sidney evidently was deter
mined to corrupt the whole household.
I'll never be able to give an ade-
quate idea of the joviality Of that
Christmas eve In the slck-room. Mr..
Sidney and Jed had eonspired for
some months to make q festival.
Our dinner. served In Mr.. Sidney's
room, brought a bOar's head, carried
by a laughing maid. Wine was sent
to the servants. Isobei found a pearl
necklace In what had seemed to be q
baked sweet potato. found gold
watch In box under few leaves Of
lettuce. Mrs. Sidney found merely a
note In a bunch Of violets which was
given her with ceremony.
She read 1t and had difficulty to re-
main wholly composed. She arose and
went to her husband, taking one Of
his hands and putting an arm about
his shoulders. Then she kissed him
and stood a moment before the FIRE
before she trusted herself to come
back to the table.
When the dinner was done and the
covers were removed. more wine was
brought in. A large Christmas tree
was lighted, and all the servants were
called. Each found valuable present
in the tree; each had punch from the
great bowl. and each. coming to shake
Mr.. Sidney's hand. was given by Jed
an envelope which. learned after
ward, contained q hundred-dOllar bill.
There was no constraint and no
awkwardness such as might mark
such proceedings; the people Of the
house knew Mr.. Sidney too we'll. One
Of the maids kissed him. and then we
had them all doing 1t.
I was fearful that the excitement
would injure him. but he was placid.
smiling and happy. When we we're
alone, We sat an hour by the fire. and
then ! dismissed every one peremptor-
lily.
