The idea of growing plants by elee- tricity, which has aroused_so much interest of late, has heen referred to as the "last cry" in gardening and florienlture, buf, as a matter of fact, the idea is nearly a couple of cen. turies old. As long ago as 1747 elec tricity, as an aid to plant cultiva- tion, was advocated by a writer in the old "Gentleman's Magazine," %ho mentioned the astounding resuits he had achieved from electrifying a myr- tle seventeen times. This is but one of the many in- teresting, cafes of the antiquity of modern /inventions, related by Mr. H. E. Dudegey int the "April number of The Strand Magazine. It is aston- ishing, but nevertheless true, that more than 2,000 years ago Egyptian priests were using a penny-in-the-slot machine, the mechanism of which was practically identical with that of the machinés to be fouad on every railway station to-day. The ancient machine, the inventor of which was Hero, was used for supplying sacred water at the doors of the temples. A coin was dropped from the top, fell on one end of a balanced horizontal lever, which, being depressed. opened a_valve suspended from a chain ou the other end. and the water thus be- gan to flow. When the lever had been depressed to a certain angle the coin fell off! and the lever, being weight ed; returned to its seat, and thus cut off the supply. The taximeter was in use about a hundred years ago, and was =old in various qualities in Leadenhall street, London, at fram 25s. to £8 8s, while wt only the modern telegraph but alsa wireless telegraphy was foreseen as long ago as 1633, when Henry Van Etter suggested, in a little hook called "Mathematicall Recreations," that a person in London might communicate with one in Prague, Germany, by the help of "Magnes" (presumably mag- netism). Van Btten suggested that. if each of the persons had a needle with Magnes, and secret notes or alpha- bets, they would be able to move the needle and indicate letters, and thus convey messages. In 1644 the possibilities of the sub- marine were first propounded, while from the very earliest times men have conceived the idea of flying with wings like birds "There is no rea- fon whatever to doubt the fact that Archytas of Tarentum, about 394 vears before the Christian era, con- structed an automaton pigeon that would fly." Turning to other latter-day inven- tions, as they are generally regarded, it "might be mentioned that switch- back railways were constructed over a hundred years ago, and looping the loop was a sensation in Paris in 1833, while most people will learn with surprise that roller-skating, which came up as a new igvention about forty years 'age, was being indulged in by our forefathers as far back as 1829. Royal Academy Roasted. The London eritics in dealing with the Royal Academy seem to suffer from the same evils which they find in Academy's exhibition itself. The London Times observes: "It is hard for a critic to recognize merit in the mas of mediocrity, and promising painters . are probably aware of the fact. They know that even if their work is hung it may very likBly be overlooked by both cri- tics and the public, and therefore they tend more and more to show it else- where." The Daily Telegraph says: "One must inevitably approach the serious examination with a feeling closely akin to dlsmay. And this will not necessarily be the fault of the works exhibited, but a consequence of the pictorial noise and confusion, of the close packing, of the screaming of one work against another in that struggle for domination which not always results in the survival 'of the fittest. Of pure aesthetic enjoyment there could in apy case be no ques. tion." While The Daily Mail declares: "The Royal Academy of 1913 be- longs to the last, and not to the pres- ént century. The reactionary acad- emic mind has triumphed, the walla of Burlington House have been pad- ded anew to exclude :the faint echo of joyous life which had begun to enter from the outside world." Sr ------------------ Mator-Boat as Coffin. A motor-boat was used as a coffin at the funeral at East Cowes of Miss Ethel Kate Saunders, the only daugh- ter of Samuel E.

Among purely political "bulls" it would be difficult to beat that attri- for a rainy day." Newman and Manning Figure In New Book of "Memo. es." The late Lord Woleridge's house was ope of the two at which Car dinal Newman used to stay on bis rare 'visits to London after he had ta'tén up his abode at Birmingham-- the other beir; the Duke of Norfolk's. Mr. Coleridge, in his recently issued | "He (the Car | "Memories," writes: dinal) came on one of his. periodical visits when my boy Johnnie was 'about three years old, and about the middle of breakfast, acenrding to cus- tom, he was 'rought down and sat, as usual, on ry wife's knee, who was just opposite the Cardinal at table. I do not think the old man saw my little children very often in an inti- mate way. . After gazing at them siléntly for a little while he became visibly moved, and rising from the table he murmured in a low voice, half introspectively, as it were, "I think I must bless him." He came round' the table, and laid his hand on the little child's lead, and said a few inaudible words of benediction. J think everrone present was: touched, and glad to Lave been present at so beautiful a moment." Later the Cardinal asked might take Mr. Coleridge's little boy to the Zoo--a request at once com: | plied with--and it must have been a picture to see the old man allowing the boy to draw him on from cage to cage, prattling the mearhile about their occupants. Matthew Ar- nold and Cardinal Newman, by the way, met for the first time at Lord Coleridge's house, and "they talked together as a pair of ripe scholars," no one supposing that they were not old and familiar friends. With Cardinal Manning Coleridge's association was also intimate and con- stant: "He dined occasionally at my father's house, or, rather, responded to an invitation to do so, and duly sat at my father's table, but he never ate anything whatever; he sometimes crumbled a little bread in his fingers, but nothing passed his lips. No at- tention was drawn to it, and no one pressed him to eat or drink any- thing." Nothing, Mr. Coleridge adde, could be more striking 'than the contrast between the two great English Car- dinals. "Manning was everything that his great colleague was not." Pill of Live Spider. « The Gresham lectures on "Drugs Old and New," delivered at the City of London School by Dr. F. M. Sand- with, Gresham professor of physic, were no less entertaining than instrue- tive. After pointing out that herbs supplied the first drugs, the lecturer described how animal products were accepted as medicines, some even re- maining in the first English pharma. copoea published in London in 1612. Tiger's flesh and new-born puppies were among the old remedies. One book recommended a pill of a live spider.
