for thu purpose of forcing the grow'.ii of

nro to bo based on some pertinent observa
tions made by bemstrom of t.ic effect of the
aurora boreal la on the plain growth of the
north.
U Is a well known fact that the plants
of the north arrive at maturity In a much

which .ire grown further south. It la iieces-
rary tut three plants should arrive at ma

nFFBCT OF TUB AURORA IIORDAUS.
"Lemstrom nan first led to his Inquiries
by observations upon vegetation and meteor
ological phenomena In the high north , par
ticularly In Finnish Lapland and Spltzbergen ,
wlierc he came to the conclusion that much
of the rapidity of vegetation In the short
summers Is due to climatic electricity. Ills
first oxporltr cnts were made In the labora
tory , and the results were so promising that
ho At once turned his attention to the field.
Ho in a do an experiment on ? small field of
Inrldy In Finland. One portion of the field
was covered with small parallel wires , a
meter apart and secured to porcelain In
sulators , which were secured to small posts
on the margin of the field. At Intervals of
a half-meter each wire was furnished with
a metal point , from xrhlcfh-tho current could
discharge Into the atmosphere. These wires
were connected to the positive polo of a four-
disc Holtz machine , which supplied the cur
rent. The current was supplied from tne
middle of June to the 1st of l-cptembor , from
G to 10 o'clock In the morning and from 5
to 9 In the evening. The barley was well
up when the experiment began. The har-
% cst shoncd that the electric plot wns over
35 per cent ahead of the remainder of thu
field , and the yield and the quality of the
grain was Improved.
"Having- determined the good elTocts of
atrnosphcrlo electricity In high latitudes ,
Konislrom now carried his experiments Into
France. Hero he trcaleil cereals , garden
vegetables and a variety of fruits. The re
sult was equally good In the warm country.

strom have shown that the application of
electricity to the atmosphere generally In-

Duller without the aid of a cow Is what
Wlllard O. Day , an Inventor , of Baltimore ,
Md. , promises.
Electricity Is the chief agent Mr. Day
proposes to employ In the production of
butter directly from \egelablcs which form
the food of cattle whose milk U used In
the churn.
I Mr. Day discovered first thai Ihc peculiar
I characteristic traits of different varieties of
I butter , cheese , etc , were owing to two gen
eral causes , One was a kind of food on
I which the cow was fed ; the other was the
kind of microbe nourished at and by the
roots of the plant which furnished the food
to the cow.
| Armed with these two tecrets , Mr. Day
I began his work , which consisted In extractIng -
. Ing and then assembling artificially the 6'imo
! products which are usually brought about
by nature. ,
Ho succeeded In producing from the vegc-
| table kingdom oils which differed \er\
I slightly from those of the animal kingdom
Having gone this tar , the next otcp waste
to change the vegetable oil by gtv'ag It the
same chemical constitution as that possessed
by the animal article des'rcd In other words ,
to make the animal butter all out of grass.
corn and similar Vegetable1 substances.
The secret In this part of the process Mr.
Day found to consist In the fact that animal
nnd vegetable carbohjdratcs strongly resem
ble each other. The differences which are
found In oils arc nearly all owing to the
nitrogenous sheaths In which the globules of
oil arc contained Thus to this sheath Is due
the tallowy smell of tallow , the mutton
smell of mutton , as well as all the rank
odors of many vegetable oils.
When oils are extracted by heat , or the
mechanical violence of iiressure , the dcle-
tercous nitrogenous characteristics of the
globule sheaths are Imparted to the oil
globules thcniBChes , and no art can separate

states that the rapid grottth of plants in
the far north Is due directly to the light of
the aurora borealls. L'ght Is one of the

that the light of the aurora might tend to
Increase the number of growing hours of
tde plants of the north , Lemstrom contends
that they are albo stimulated by the presence
of the .large amount of atmospheric elec
tricity , tohlch , as It Is contended , the pres
ence of the aurora lo due.
Lomstrom , In furtherance of his Ideas , ha
been carrying on < i scries of experiments In

that , In conjunction with Prof , illalloy , some
very Important work can be cairled on , anc
It Is for this purpose that Prof. Bailey Is

"Our ccdtomplatcd experiments point to
the application of atmospheric electricity to
the growing of plants , Lems rom and myself
liavo devised a scheme by whlcn wo are to

In Finland and tome to be carried on In
America. Ho has recently auggesto.1 that 1

consider tiilu whole subject by observlcig the

to do with the gron th In Mio Arcv.lc region.
Ho wccit to Spltzbergcn for Uio pmpose of In

"I have recently pointed out to the mem
bers of the Maftuchusett , ? Horticultural nocl-
o'y thn great effect which atmospheric elec
tricity lias cii the gronth of plants. Atmos

this effect is brought about. It Is highly
p obablc. however , as Lemstrom thinks , that
the modification Is not the direct result of
the electrification of the plant Itself , nor the
atmosphere , but that they follow some
chemical change In 'the ' atmosphere which Is
engendered by the current. This Is one of
the problems wo will attack while working
In unison. If It Is solved , we shall probably
know better how far to go with this artificial
plant stimulating process. In borne cases
It Is found that stimulation Is advisable up
to a certain point , but from that point on
ward It becomes injurious. If we can re
duce tlio sjstom to a practical basis , our
forthcoming experiments and those of the
past will not boor have been In vain. "

When the civil war broke out , relates the
Youth's Companion , an Immense meeting
was held In Bridgeport , Conn. , and many
men volunteered for the army. To the gen
eral burprise , one of the richest men In the
state , Ellas Howe , the Inventor of the sowing
machine , arcsc and made this brief speech :
"Every man Is called upon to do what he
jan for his country. I don't know what I
; nn do , unless It ls * to enlist and bervo as a
private In the union army. I want no posi
tion ; I am willing to learn and do what I can
with a musket. "
Hut it soon proved that the chronic lame-
-csa from which Howe suffered Incapacitated
him from marching with a musket , even to
the extent of standing aentry. Determined ,
to bo of use , however , he volunteered to
Tcrvo thu regiment ns Its postmaster , messen
ger and expressman.
SOpdlng homo for a suitable Jiorso and
wagon , he drove Into Haltlmoro twice a day
and brought to the camp Its letters and parcels -
cols , U was said that ho would run over
half the state to deliver a letter to borne
'onely mother anxious for her coldlcr boy , or
bring back to him a pair of boots which he
needed during the rainy weather.
Kor four months after the Seventeenth Con
necticut entered the field the government was
so pressed for monej-thafno payment to the
trcopa could bo made , and there was consequently
quently great suffering among the famlllco
of thp , soldiers , aud. painful anxiety endured
by the men themsclvfH ,
One day.a private soldier came quietly into
the pa > master's office In Washington and
took his beat In the corner to await his turn
for an Interview. Presently the ofilcei
"
said :
"Well , , my. man , what can I do for you ? "
"I have called to see about the payment of
the Seventeenth Connecticut , " answered th <
holdlcr.
Thfc ifajmastor , somewhat Irritated by what
ho oupppped a , needless and Impertinent In
terruption , told him sharply "that ho could
do nothing without money , and that until the
government furnished some It was useless for
soldiers to cunio bothering him about pay , "
"I know that the government Is In straits , '
relumed the soldier. "I have called to find
out how much money It will take to give inj
regiment two months' pay , I am ready to
furnluh the amount , "
The amazed officer asked the name of his
visitor , who modestly replied , "Ellas Howo. "
lie then wrote a draft for the required sum
fSl.OOO , Two or three days later the regiment
wcs paid. When Mr , Howe's name was
called , ho went up to the paymaster's desk
and signed the receipt for { 2S.CS of his ouu
money ,

them afterward. Here comes In the great
discovery In the use of" the electric light.
Mr. Day found that when these oils and
fats were subjected to the radiant energy ol
powerful electric light the nitrogenous
sheaths were shrivelled and their contents
rut In a condition to be milked out or ex
tracted by a gentle pre&jure , without being
contaminated by the characteristics of the
animal or plant lUcK'
Another effect was also produced. What
ever microbe was associated , with any par
ticular oil or fat was killed by the actinic
j power of the light , thus leaving the article
I free from any of Its native microbes and
1 ready to bo used as a culture medium for
any desired microbe.
Among the microbes destroyed by the light
.ire those which cause putrefaction and
decay , and so the articles acted on by the
light are readily prtserved as long as they
are protected from now Invasions of nature's
hosts of destroyers. As a result , the various
kinds of butter , cheese , etc. , made under the
Day processes show most remarkable keep
ing powers , far surpasblng those produced by
the old-fabhloncd methods.
For the same reason- the new articles nro
not affected 'by any diseases , such as tuber
culosis and Uphold fever , which may bo
carried and transmitted In the milk of cows
as well as by contamination from barnyard
associations.
The Day process does not end with tbo
treatment of fats and oils , but Is applied to
all the llesh of animals , as well as of fish ,
crabs , oysters , fruits and vegetables. Mr ,
Day found that the application of the radiant
energy from the electric light produced
peculiar and wonderful effects on all thcso
substances. Fresh meat was made rigid and
hard as wooJ. It could Mien bo ground or
pul\erUcd Into powder , and this , when put
Into water , would swell up and when cooked
would have the substance an.d the good quali
ties of fresh meat , The electric curing
procesj rc < luced four pounds of meat to one
pouml. In this condition It could be trans
ported anywhere and would keep In any
climate. Then by adding the recjulslto
amount of water the article would be re-ady
to bo cooked and served up , thus furnishing
an Ideal meat , as to which "digestion waits
on appetite , and health on both. "
'Mr. ' 'Day tested the merits of his process
li many wajs. Ho found that meats ciiild
bo cured In Inrgo or small pieces ; In fart ,
that by suitable exposure to the electric light
bodies of any size might lie first disinfected
from all microbes and then preserved In
definitely. No matter what the germ might
be , the Inventor found that powerful light
was fatal to It. He experimented with the
entire range of germs supplied by the
physicians of the Johns Hopkins hospital ,
and killed them all ,
Extending the range of his process , Mr.
Day fouti * that fruits amV vegetables could ,
either 'bo preserved very nearly In their
natural condition and size , or they could be
made dry and hard as wood , reduced In slzo
and weight , then ground to powder anl a'ter-
ward restored again to a food form by sup
plying moisture.

> ItlmilN of rnnlNliiiu-nt Not Deterrent
anil PcniiHIoM Ton lliieertaln.
Some unpleasant facts In regard to the In
crease In crime In the United Stales and
some of the causcH which have produced It
were .recently laid before the social science
department of the Philadelphia Civil club by
General Isaac J. Wlstar , says the Now York
Post. Passing over the statistics , which
wcro not now. General Wlstar's views as to
the causes of the Increase of crime may bo
briefly summarized. One of these causes , In
his opinion , Is that the methods of punish
ment are not deterrent. He afscited. on the
authority of the Pennsylvania Hoard of Char
ities , that many of the sixty-seven jails In
that state ) are nests of crime , maintained for
the pecuniary benefit of county politicians ,
where the sheriff Is the boss politician. In
some of thcso Jails , he said , Indecent pic
tures arc hunt ; on the walls , nnd the prison
ers are supplied with cards BO that they inny
spend their evenings pleasantly. A prison ,
General Wlstar continued , should bo a place
of punishment , and above all a place where
ho prisoner rnnnot bo further contaminated.
To this end separate confinement he reqirds
as nccccsary , and he Is not shaken In this
view by the claim that hcparate confino-
ncnt largely Increases cases of Insanity.
There Is no more Insanity inside a prison
than outside , among the samu classes. Gen
eral Wlstar maintains , and much of It In the
Tlscns Is feigned to furnlbh itcater oppor-
.unities for cscnpo.
Another rnu e of the Increase of crime , In
General Wlstar's opinion , l < 3 tlie delay and
the uncertainty In punishment. For this j
criminal Jurisprudence ) Is at fault. The ap- |
jcllato courts , ho siys , appear to devote
hemselves. not to the trial ol the criminal ,
nit to the trial of the Judge that convicted
him. In the hope that they can pro\e their
stutcncFB by showing that he committed
some error. In some extreme rases now
ria ! have been granted because of mis
spelled words In the legal documents. Ono
viy to rc'orm this. Riiggpsted by General
Vlstnr , Is to deny th" right of appea1 In crlm.
nal cases. This , he claims , would not be a
midship , Inasmuch as the criminal has four
rials , the first before a magistrate , the second
end before the grand jury , the third and the
ourth ( a rctrlnl ) before the higher criminal
ourt. Other remedies are suEKosted by the
tv.uses that show their need. Still another
dvance would be the rcorganbatlon of the
'rlbon system on the English plan , by which
n Great Urltaln the number of criminals has
icon i educed 51 per cent In twenty ycais.
General Wlslar did not believe the people
icro were worse than in England , and there
vas no reason to believe that lemcdlal mcas-
ires which are successful In Great Urltaln
vould not bo successful here.

These letters show what Wine of Cardui will do for women.
They make it plain to any one that a woman need not be weak and
languid and low-spirited. But that she can be well and happy. And
that she can bear strong , healthy children. With Wine of
Cardui so easily obtained , there is no reason why any woman should
suffer from those dragging pains in her head , back and sides , that
torture so many thousands month after month. The reported cures
of this great medicine include the worst cases of suppression , flood
ing , irregular and painful menstruation , whites and falling of the womb.
Wine of Cardui helps a girl properly develop into a woman , and is
the best medicine she can take for every r
trying crisis in her life. It makes it possible | > UDIES' ADVISORY DEPARTMENT.
