Together they walked In the long Juno
twilight acrops thn fields. They were not
very nice fields ! the path wai composed of
cii dcro and brickbats ! the ragged hcdgo was
broken down hi inrts ; there wcro occnslonal
pa'chcs on wlileh green things refused to
crow ; there wns , hovvcio' , h bhallow ditch
running beside the dilapidated hedge which
contained an unsavory mud and there was
a piggery at the end of the ditch. These
th'iiE" . on a warm evening In June , sug
gested the country.
Tlicy walked tide by Hide as they always
had done. The young man held the girl's
h nd , ho did not press It , nor lift It to his
Urn or go off Into Interjections over It ; ho
Blniply held It. She was quite accustomed
to tills assertion of authority , or submission ,
ns jouvlll , made no objection and did not
wlthdiaw her hand. Ho walked In silence.
Uh > should ho dcslro to talk ? Ho Jmt liked
to bo with her ; hometlmes to look at her ; to
let her talk ao much DH she liked ; not oven
to follow her when eho went off Into dreams
For ho was 21 and a clerk In a big bouse of
business and he lived nil day In a world
whciio nothing happenn not even the unex
pected except what Is made to happen by
the wisdom and the contrivance of the part
ners. The world Is BO , to the city man ; ho
Understands that ho has to get wh.it ho can
for himself ; ho has to bo foreseeing and fnr-
Bcclng , above all , ho must never ilrcnm.
Therefore this young man looked forward

to n life of low standards , though this he
would unt admit to himself , to n small Income -
como und thrifty ways. Ho was a steady
young man , who always had a solid book
go 'f , In which ho read slowly and without
the slightest Interesr In the contents He
thought that a course of reidlng In miscel
laneous eubjecls , none of which attracted
him , raised him to the level of those who Im
prove themselves. Ho was n good-looking
young man with tegular features and the
appearance of responsibility. In fact , ho had
no vices , and felt no temptations , and was
therefore profoundly uninteresting.
The girl , lion over , was quite unlike him
She moved as If her feet were springs ; she
walked as if she were dancing ; she talked
ns If she was singing ; she laughed at her own
thoughts llko a thrush. She was nearly as
tall as her companion , who was five feet ten
Inches. She was certainly not pretty , because
she had not a elnglo good feature In her
face , except , perhaps , her eyes , which were
quick and bright , but she was attractive
when she was animated and she generally
was animated. Her dress was quiet and In
better taste perhaps than vg- found with
most of the young women who went to the
same subuiban church on Sunday and lived
In the little villas , Jerry built , precarious ,
which bravely faced the"euburban gale on
their crumbling bricks , with sand for mortar
and latha for party walls.
Her name a ridiculous name , but In the
matter of names people are so was Ariadne.
The girl thought It a pretty name and much
finer than Muriel , Gladys and Dorothy , names
which decorated most ot the girls she knew.
Arladno a poetical name ; sto knew nothing
of the btory belonging to the deserted nymph
wo ? Perhaps I shnll be drawing $150 by that
time , If I nm lucky. "
"Mntrled ? O , well ; vvo would see about
that. You know , Cyril , I have nlwnjs told
you that I could never marry n man whom
I did not respect for his Intellect. He must
bo my superior , otherwise , I could not think
of marrying him. "
"Of course. " Tills joung man knew not
the language of compliment , not even the
commonest word In It , ror the declensions
nor the conjugations. "Of course , I know
that. "
"To bo sure you do Improve yourself. "
"I am now , Ariadne , " he aesurod her
proudly , "In the heart of ' Humboldt's
Cosmos. " '
n. , , .
H has been pointed out that the author
la not called upon by the public ; he Is not
sent for llko the lavvjer and the physician.
Tint Is because ho offers himself unasked
and In far greater numbers than Is wanted.
So whllo he stands up for hire with the rest
In the Atatuto fair of Paternoster row , the
piiMIc go round and make their choice.
la ) the autumn of 1893 there were pro
duced , among other works of deathless In
terest , 400 novels , unnoticed at first. With
these appeared a story on vvhone title page
was the single name , "Ariadne. "
If you were to read that book now you
would lay It down with a fccllcg that It was
a crude and early piece of work , badly con
structed , the dialogue managed without
skill , and the story naught. It Is now writ
ten and the glamor has qutto gone out of It.
The pages charm no one. It la not asked
for ; you can buy It for next to nothing ; It
will soon drop kite the sixpenny box. Why ,
then , ono asks , was there PO great , so Imme
diate , a rna upon It ? The smart critic set
down 'the fact to the bad taste ot the reading
public ; the man who understands that the
bad itastc of the public never by any chance
sends him after feeble writers , took up the
book to field out far himself the reason of
Its popularity. Ho load It through ; the
magic of the book seized him ; ho forgot nl-
Hoctlier his purpose In reading the book ;
he forgot to trA why ; and he cover stopped
until he had reached the end. Then he laid
It down w'th a sigh and left the task of
answering that question to anjbody who
chose G\ery now end then such a book ap
pears ; It succeeds ; the only explanation of
Its success is that It possesses a mjfcterlou.i
charm which seizes upon the reader and
holds him tight oven ES the ancient mari

Gvery jear at least two and generally
three reputations in fiction are made. The
writer of "Ariadne" made her reputation
by that book. Nobody had ever heard hci
name ; nobody knew anything about her at
all. Hut her book , which had begun by
creeping , went on to run to leap to gal-
Inp through the editions. The publisher ,
who had begun by being grumpy , became
Hist cheerful , then beaming ; he had been
overbearing at first with the taUe-lt-or-lcave-
It manner which belongs to ono who con
fers a doubtful ibencflt and Incurs a possible

Sunday afternoon. Ariadne's room was
crowded with callers , She was standing in
the midst of a circle ; the room was filled
with laughter and whispers and the buzz of
convert-atlon Suddenly , as she looked
viround , she flushed scarlet. In the door
way stood , awkward , embarrassed , her lover ,
Samuel , alias Cjrll. She stepped across the
room. ' Uyrll , " she siid , "this is very good

Arladno stood once moro in the old familiar
side road leading off the main road of the
cheap subuibv The llttlo gardens in front
of the houbes were filled with laburnum lilac
and lime trees ; the time was June ; the air
was fragrant ; the leaves wore fresh and
green ; the place looked pretty. The sweet
breath of spring banished the associations of
poverty and dullness and monotony and hid
the btuccocd fronts.
"About this time , " said Ariadne , "Cyril
should bo coming home. " In fact nt 'hat
moment ho turi.ed out of the main road. He
was walking heavily with eyes cast uown.
When In the sweet sp Ing season Ills mind
lightly turned to thoughts of love , the vUlon
of the lost Arladno returned and saddened
him.

him.

"I told you , " she said , "three years ago
that I wanted to go away and see those other

"Ariadne. " Ho hardly understood that ah9

"Uoth prayers , " she said , "have been

Scarcely has the sugar beet been Intro

and 30 per cent. That Is the latest dis
covery la the sugar beet Industry that is
now entering upon a succersful career in
this country , relatea the Globe-Democrat ,
and the Importance of It can scarcely bo
overestimated , coming as It does just when
the Department of Agriculture and all the
state experiment stations are Issuing bulle

Just been determined by the national gov
ernment that the manufacture of beet bugar
Is possible la the United States and that an
Industry which mcacs an Increase of tens of
millions of dollars to the country's wealth
can bo built up thereby. Now , with the
discovery of the value of electricity In in
creasing the sugar percentage of the beetfl
wo may soon ba nblo to make all our own
sugar and at left ) cost than In Germany or
the tropical countries.
The use of c'Jeotrlcity ' In Increasing the
percentage of sugar In the beets Is still
small and largely experimental , tout the ro-
fults are ao highly satisfactory tt'it there
is DO question that mcacs will bo found to
apply It on a. large scale to beets In a field
In fact , a scheme is already planned for ap
plying electricity to fields of beets that the
ordinary farmer cultivates. This is bya
modification of a Kronen Invention called
the geomngnetlfere , which practically makes
use of atmospheric electricity at no ap-
rarcnt cost to the farmer after the Initial
expense of Installing the farm has been In
vested ,
SUCCESSFUL TEST.
At the government experimental station
at Amhcrst , Mans. , th ! new Invention has
been tested with great success.
Long bpforo ' tills It was known iby
scientists here and abfoad that atmos
pheric electricity greatly stimulated
plant , fruit and flower giovvth ; but
there was no practical way of
collecting and utilizing this electricity Kor
a number of years now this sclent'nta ' at
the stations have- been experimenting with
various uystems of ulectrociilturc , but with
out apparent success until recently. The
geomagneilfere makes use only of the- elec
tricity that Io obvoja present In the atmos
phere and d'fltrlbutt ' * It among the plants
to hasten their growth , In the center of the
electric garden a polo forty to fifty feet high
stands , surmounted by a bristling array of
copper spikes tThese spikes form the elec
tric collector and they are Insulated from

It collects the atmospheric electricity day
and night and conducts It 'iy ' a copper wire
to a network of wires laid under the soil
at a depth of live or six feet. . . . . .
This la the simple method by which the
atmospheric electricity Is to bo applied to
the sugar beet fields. One polo such au de
scribed furnishes sufficient electricity to
stimulate several acres of vegetables , and
by multiplying them a Held of any dimen
sion could bo installed ut very llttlo oxpenao.
According to this method there U no ex
pense of generating electricity by machin
ery , and It performs oven better work In
rloctroculturo than the. current generated by
the ordinary expensive method.
A plot of ground at the experiment station
Ins been experimented with for several nci-
sons now , and by the uau of the geomag-
nctlfero the production his been Just
doubled , lUsldca the gcomagnctlfcro an or
dinary dynamo supplies electricity to an
other plot of ground. Hy means of this a
ftronger current of electricity can be kept
flowing through the ground at stated times ,
and for experimental purpoeea this la highly
desirable. The electric light la ulso utilized
for stimulating the growth of plants here
and the general effect has been to hasten the
maturity of lettuce , spinach and similar
products. Radishes have been produced
eighteen Inches long bj means of electricity
and five and six Inches In diameter. Entlro
crops in the forcing plots of ground have
been Increased 50 and CO per cent.
FORCING FLOWER GROWTH.
Experiments upon flowers have been
equally satisfactory. These have been forced
In their growth eo that pansics could be
made to blossom within a week and loses
In ten days. After < lemonstratlng the value
of electricity In hastening the maturity of
crops , experiments were directed toward the
Improvement of the quality of fruits and
vegetables. It was found that the current
and arc light had a decided effect upon the
colors of the flowers. In most cases the
colors were greatly Intensified , and dull
grayish colors were painted a more brllllaiu
hue. Ulue , < lark red , scarlet and pink flow
ers were made most brilliant in their In
tensity ; but they soon faded and turned to a
grayish white. Dy regulating the power of
the current and the distance from the arc
light the colors could bo made almost per
fect , while their lasting qualities woula not
bo affected.
Slmi'.nrlty of the fragrance of the flowers
was affected by electricity. At first It seemed
to produce no change , but by distributing
the wlies In the soil at a proper distance
from the plants marked results weie ob
tained. The fiagrsnco of the hyacinth , the
heliotrope , Hie rose and the lily was made
strong and pervading. So heavily did they

The next step In tlio scries of experiments
and which led up to the discovery of the
wlue of the current In Increasing the per
centage of sugar In the beets , was to make
the vegetables and fruits elaborate from the
sc'll certain elements which would Improve
their quality. This was first obtained with
radishre and turnips. Those stimulated too

OBbimllato the nitrogen of the air , why could
not the currents under the soil do similar
work for the nitrogen of the ground ? To teh'
this a plot of ground was thoroughly fertll-
ted with nitrogen , In the form of nitrates ,
and then a strong current applied to the net
work ct wlies underground. Tne results were
all that the scientists could expect.
RESULTS OF THE EXPERIMENT.
Follottlng this came the experiment with
the sugar boots. The varieties analyzing
CO and 17 per cent sugar were started , and
a noticeable Increase or 1 and 2 per cent of
sugar first attracted the attention of the
expei Imentors. This Increase was obtained
accidentally , as the electric current was : ,
pected only to Increase them In h\to \ and
weight. Instantly , however , the question of
size was abandoned , and evoiy effort wao
directed toward Increasing the amount of
sugar In the vegetables. This was slowly
obtained by a long series of expeilments by
which the wires and arc lights were tried
at nil distances from the vegetables. Finally
the light distance waa obtained. Then
nitrogen wao added to the soil m abundance.
This was taken up so rapidly by the sugai
beets that the KO | | was exhausted nt the
end of the tcafcon. Still , every ounce of It
had been converted directly Into sugar , and
the results were very profitable. So far the
experiments have shown an Increase of sugar
varying from 20 to 30 per cent ; but It Is
expected that this will Increase to BO per
cent after further trlaH and experiments.
Then Germany's bpctn that give only 18 pel
cent of sugar will hardly i > o In the market
compared to the American clectrocultured
products.

Filmier IIiTiiiilli HiifiiiN.
Near the city of St. Charles , Minn. , resides
a sleeping wonder In the person of Herman
Harms , who has spent neaily every hour
during the last eighteen or twenty years in
unconscious slumber. Mr. Haims has quite
a family of adult chlldicn , and although
much money has been Fpent for the best of
medical treatment and advice , no doctor has ,
yet been found who has been able to break
the spell under which the sleeper rests. Ho
Is given food by tender har.ls , but seems
culy partially aroused when being fed , and
en being left alone at once again drops off
to sleep. In fact , It is so hard to urouso
him a greet part of his food has to be ad
ministered In liquid form.
When Harms went west , nearly twenty
ycara ago , ho took up farming. Gradually
the sleeping spell grew upon him , until he-
was unable to attend to his farm , und fern
n while , until his sons bcoime old enough ,
the place was much neglected , and the in
come of the family , coco prosperous , greatly
diminished.
This hummer for n few dajs the sleeper
thorouphly awoke and his family wcro in
hopes his long slumber was at last broken ,
Uut the awakening wao but fcr a short time ;
a few days und Hoi man Harms was again In
a solid sleep.
The puiso of the sleeper Is regular , though
stronger than that of the healthy adult. It
fairly FCCIIIH that the heart meant to burst
the capillaries and drown that organ. The
pulse over the temple Is btrong ami the head
Is hot , whllo the flesh Is generally below the
ordinary temperature. As he sleeps tlie eyelids -
lids blink , ns If annoyed by the llgdt , but
this they olways do. The usual position of
the sleeper Is on Ills lolt side , the left hand
lliinly against the brow. At the times when
the sleeper awakeiii he Is rational and nhone
that his mind U entirely unclouded
Has nib Is now CO years old. When the
first symptoms of his trouble made their ap
pcarnnco In 1875 the patient weighed 180
pounds ; now ho does not weigh more than
one-half of that about 80 pounds. Ho Is , In
feet , almost a living skeleton. His beard and
hair are long , his features drawn , white and
thin ; this cheek bones look ns if they would
SOPH force their way th'ough the covering
of bkln. Haims has live children , none of
whom shows any signs of the terrible milad )
which holds their father to his bed.
Many different opinions have been ex
pressed by the numerous phynlcliiB who havu
attended the case unsuccessfully Powerful
electric batteries have been applied to the
body , the only effect of which was to cauao
a slight cent action of the rniib-les of the
body. The disease has been variously domi
nated as heart trouble , softening of the brain
Ilrlght's dlsea o of the kidneys complication
of troubles and thu use of too much iiu nine
Harms Is fed about once In twenty-four
hours hometlnuH only once in forty-eight
hours. In the partaking of food ho Is very
frugal , refusing any dainties that syrnpa
thotlo friends and nolghbo a may offer him
saying that a slice of buttered bread Is
enough for him. In fact his digestive organs
have bceorno uo weakened that to eat any
thing more bubstaiitlul would prove harmful
Mr , Harms Is of a lellglous turn of mind
and on account of religious scruples has re
fused many good financial offers fiom man
agers of museums. 'Iho family absolutely
refuse to give out Harms' picture for publica
tion , and , In truth , do not desire any notoriety
In the matter.
Thu man shows tremendous vitality to have
lived In hlu unusual and unnatural condition

daya must bocry nearly numbered.
