For several mouths past one of our young mechanics has been engaged in building a rather novel water cratt, whirl, tor tiie want of a better name lie has designai ed a “wuler velocipede.” Everything about it is no exceedingly bimple that vie think a somewhat de- I description will l-e of interest.

A 6RE NT DISCOVERY. hth-ot or Uu- E'ectrle Light on Vegrtatloa— l.h-otro-llortlculturc. London Ttmeo. Dr. C. \V. Slcim-n* gave at a recent nn-uling ot the Itnyal Society a de» scri|iti(iu of i-ninr . xpcrimenU upon the above subject, which havr ‘>a—. conducted during tbeln-t two inooth* at his hntt-e at Sherwood, and < xl-ii»» ited specimens. Tlie tucthral pursn-.-i was to plant quick-growing plants - such as mustard, carrots. -Swedes, beans, cucumbers and m-hras - in puts and these pot3 were divid' d into tiiur grotli a, one of which-eras kept emiiely in the <!ark, one was ex- p-’sed to ihe inti.ioi ce of the electric light ouly, and one to daylight and eli ctrio light in succession. The electric light was applied for s x hours each evenio.—from 5 to 11—and the plants wore then left in darkness dur ing the remainder of the night. The general result was that the plants kept entirely iu the dark soon died, thass exposed to the electric light only ar to daylight, only throve about equally, and those exposed to both day aad electric light throve far better than either, tlur-specimens of mustard and carrots exhibited to tlie society show* ing this difference in a very remarka ble way. Dr. Siemens only consider* himself as yet on the threshold of tlta investigation, bat thinks the experts ments already made are suffitienl to justify tbe following conclusions: First—Thnl electric light is efficacious in producing chloropltyl in the leaves of plants, and in promoting growth. Second—That an electric center of light equal to 1.400 candles placed at a distance of two met> rs trom growing plants appeared to be equal in effect to average daylight at this season of tho year; but that more economical effect* can be obtained by more pow erful light centers. Third—That the carbonic acid and nitrogenous coeds pounds generated in dimitratift quan tities in the electric are prod nee no sensible deleterious effects upon plants inclosed in tbe same space. Fourth— That plauts do uot appear to require a period of rest during tbe twenty-four hours ot tbe day, lint make inersosed and vigorous progress if subjected during day lime to sunlight and dating tbe niedtt to electrio light. Fifth— That the radiation ot heat fsom pow erful electric arcs can be ra-de availa ble to counteract the effect of night frost, and is likely to promote the setting and ripening of fruit in the open air. 6. That while under the influence of electric light plants can sustain increased stove heat without collapsing, a circumstance favorable to forcing by electric light. 'T. That the expense of electro-horticulture de pends mainly on the cost of raechani- csil energy, and is very moderate where natural sources of such energy, such as waterfalls, can be made avail able. The paper gave rise to a highly interesting discussion, iu which it was pointed out that the evidence afforded ot the p-iictical identity, as regards veg etation, of solar and electric light, bw> sides the probability that it would ba turned to immediate account by hor ticulturists, would afford great facili ties Ibr the scientific investigation at the iiifluenou exerted by light, as com ps red with other sgencic*, iu ^promot ing tlie formation of the active 'prin ciples or most valuable constituents of phuit8, such as the qufnme of the cinchot a bark, tho glutea bt wheat, and so forth. Before concluding hia oltaervntions Dr. Siemens placed a pal of budding tulips in-the full brightness of an electrio lamp in the tceetisz- room, and in about forty minute* the buds had expanded into full bloom.
