British Scientists Now Are Applying

Lo'ndon. Tho latest experiments in
applying tho electric current to grow
ing plants and flowers, as roported by
Prof. J. II, Prlostloy, of tho botanical
laboratory at Bristol university, tend
to show that tho current not only ac
celerates tho growth, but also in somo
wnys improves tholr health, and
makes them stronger and bettor nblo
to resist disease
Tho preclso action ot tho curront is
not yet fully understood, Thero is a

Oakland, Cal, Out o'f a dcslro on
tho part of Charles Street, a wealthy
rancher, formerly pf London, now re
siding on tho Dlngeo ostato in Pied
mont, to boneflt hie follow men, has
evolved tho Farmers' Protectlvo nnd
Denovolont association, to bo Incor
porated. Tho purposes of tho cor
poration will bo to conduct a co-operative
farm, primarily to ralso poultry,
but also ub a homo slto for share
holdors,. who will bo recruited from
all walks of llfo.
Tho land choson for tho "model
town" Is two miles cast of Llvcrmore,
and thoro nro 200 acres available.
Each porson entering Into tho schemo
will be expected to purchnso five
acres for his own use. Tho organiza
tion will bo conducted on tho lines of
a town, with ofllcerB and' public build
ings, including an auditorium whero
speakers will be Invited to lecture
Tho electricity for tho farm will bo
manufactured on tho premises.
Thero will bo a music conservatory
established, weokly dances will bo
hold and pinygrounds prepared for tho
children. A movlng-plctura theater is
also contemplated.
Any white man may bocomo affil

Oakland vicinity are already Interest
ed, including It. N. Scovlllo, son of
tho proaldont of tho Scovlllo Iron
Woks, A woll-known Piedmont school
teacher, Miss Scheore, is anothor who
is activo In tho enterprise.
All tho supplies of tho community
will bo raised on tho ground, Irre
spective of what is ihtonded for gen
eral salo, and it Is the purpose to pro
vido every Inducement for thoso who
share in tho proposition to mnk'o their
homo within tho confines of tho farm.
An onthuslnstio advocato ot the en
terprise cites tho present high cost
of living ns a sufficient reason for any'
man in modornto circumstances, par
ticularly thoso who work for tholr
dally bread, adopting this method of
providing a homo for himself and fam
ily In old ago.
For, as ho remarks, tho Farmers'
Protective. association is essentially a
poor man's' club, with tho main object
of securing the advantages of tho
wealthy class by giving thoso who nro
Interested in the schemo tho opportu
