Practical Electricity.
Dr. Siemens' Repert et Sew ami Marvelous
Experiments In Klectro-Ilertlcultiire.
Londen Cable .'.elter te the World.
I send you te-day, as of the greatest
scientific importance, Dr. C. W. Sietnens's
paper en some applications of electric en
ergy te horticultural &tid agricultural
purposes. Dr. Siemens, as you knew, is a
fellow of the Royal Institute and a leading
member of the institute of civil engineers.
"On March 1, 1SS1," says Dr. Siemens,
"1 communicated te the Royal society a
paper en the influence of electric light
upon vegetation, in which I arrived at the
conclusion that, the electric light was cap
able of producing upon plants cliects real
ly comparable te these of solar radiation,
that ch!osefhyIe was produced by it, and
that bloom and fntit rich in color and
aroma could be developed by its aid. My
experiments alr-e went te prove that plants
de net, as a tulc, require a period
of rest durir.1 the twenty-lour hours of the
day, but make increased and vigorous prog
ress if subjected in winter timu te solar
light during the day and te electric light
dining the uinlit. During the whole of
last winter I continued my experiments
en an enlarged sc.de, and it is my present
purpose te give :i short account of these
experiments, and of some fiuthcr applica
tiens of elect ric energy te fanning opera
tions, including the pumping of water, the
sawing of limber, and chaff and root
cutting, at vaiieus distances, net exceed
ing hall a mill! from the source of power,
giving useful employment during the day
time te the power-producing machinery,
and thus reducing indirectly the cost of
the light during night-timy. The arrange
ment consists of a high pressure steam
engine of six-horse power nominal, sup
plied by Messrs. T.;;igyc Urethcrs, which
gives motion te two dynamo machines,
Siemens I)., connected separately te two
electric lamps, c.icii capable of emitting a
light of about -1,000 candle power. One
of these lamps was placed inside a glass
house of 2,elS 'cubic feet capacity, and the
ether was suspended at a height of 12 te
14 feet ever sonic sunk green houses. The
waste steam of the engine was condensed
in a heater wlience the green houses take
their circulation supply of het water thus
saving the fuel that would othcrwise bc
mpiircd te heat the stoves. The experi
ments were commenced en October 23,
18S0, ami were continued till May 7,
1831.
" The gcncial plan of operation consists
in lighting the eleel lie lights at first at (5
o'clock, and dining the short days at 5
o'clock, every evening except Sunday, and
continuing their action until dawth The
outside light was protected by a clear
glass lantern, while the light inside the
house was left naked. In the earlier cx
pciiincnls, one of my objects being te as
certain the relative effect of the light under
these two conditions, the inside light
was placed at one side ever the entrance
into the house, in front of a metallic ic
llccter, te save the rays that would other
wise bd lest te the plants within the house.
The house was planted in the fust place with
peas, French beans, wheat, bailey, eats,
as well as with cauliflowers, strawberries,
raspbei lies, peaches tomatoes, vines and a
variety of lleweiing plants, including roses
lliodedcndronsaml azaleas-all these plants
being of a comparatively hardy character.
The teinpuratuie at this house was main"
taincd as nearly as possible at 00 Fahren
heit. The early effects observed
were anvlhimr but satisfactory : while
under the influence of the
suspu ided in the open air
the sunk houses the beneficial
light
ever
effects
due te the electric light observed dur
ing the previous winter repeated them
selves. The plant:; in the house with the
naked electric light fen manifested a
withered appearance. W.vs this result the
effect of the naked light, or was it the ef
fect of the chemical products, nitrogenous
compounds and carbolic acid which are
produced in the cleetiic air? Proceeding
en the first named as-.ii nipt ion, and with a
view of softening the r.iy of the electric
arc, small jets of steam were introduced
into the house through lubes drawing at
mospheric air with the steam and produc
ing the elfcct of clouds interposing them
selves in an irregular fashion between the
lights and the plants. This treatment was
decidedly beneficial te the plants, although
care had te be taken net te increase the
amount of meistuie thus intieduced be
yond certain limits.
" As regards the chemical products,
carbonic acid and iiihogcneus compounds
it was thought that these would prove
rather beneficial than otherwise in furnish
ing the very ingredients upon which plant
life depends; and, further, that the
constant supply of pure carbonic
acid lesulting fiem the gradual
combustion of the cuib.m electrodes
might, tender a diminution in the .supply
of fresh air possible, and thus lead te the
economy of fuel. The plants did net,
however, take kindiy te these innovations
in their mede of life, and it was found
necessary te put a lantern of clear glass
round the light for the double purpose of
discharging the chemical products of the
arc and of interposing an effectual screen
between the arc and the" plants under its
inllucncc. The effects of interposing at
mere Illlll succl ei eieai i.ms uukwceu uiu
plants and the source of 1 he electric light
was most striking. On placing bucIi a
sheet of clear glass te as te intercept the
rays of the electric light from a portion
only of a plant, for instance a tomato
plant, it was observed that in the course
of a single night the line of demarcation
was most distinctly shown upon the leaves.
The portion of the plant under the direct
inllucuce of the naked electric light,
though at a distance from it of nine te ten
feet, was distinctly shriveled, whereas
that portion under cover of the clear glass
continued te show a healthy appearance ;
and this line of demarcation was distinctly
visible iu individual leaves. Net only the
leaves but the young stems of the plants
seen showed signs of destruction when ex
posed te the naked cleetiic light,aud these
destructive iullucuccs were perceptible,
though iu a less marked degree, at a dis
tance of twenty feet from .the source of
light. A question hcic presents itself that
can hardly fail te excite the interest of the
physiological botanist. The clear glass
does net apparently intercept any of the
luminous rays, which cannot therefore be
the cause of the destructive action. Pro Pro
feseor Stokes has shown, however, in 1833
that the electric arc is particularly rich in
highly refrangible invisible rays, and that
these are largely absorbed in their passage
through clear glass. It therefore appears
reasonable te suppese that it is these
higldy refrangible rays beyond the visible
spectrum that work destruction en vege
table cells, thus contrasting with the lum
inous rays of less rcfrangibility, which, en
the contrary, stimulate their organic
action.
"Being desirous of following up this in
quiry a little further, I sewed a portion of
trrennd in the experimental conservatory
with mustard ami ether quick-growing
seeds, and divided the field into equal
radial portions by mchns of a framework
xcluding diffused light, but admitting
light at equal distances from the electric
arc. The first section was under the ac
tien of the naked light, the second was
covered with a pane of clear glass, the
third with yellow glass, the fourth with
red and the fifth with blue glass. The
relative progress of the plants was noted
from day te day, and the differences of
effect upon the development of the plants
was suOiciently striking te justify the fol
lowing conclusions, viz.: Under the clear
glass the largest amount of and most
vigorous growth was induced ; the yvlIew
glass came next in order, but the plants
though nearly equal in size were greatly
inferior in color aud thickness of stem te
theso under the clear glass. The red glass
gives rise te lanky growth and yellowish
leaf, while the blue glass produces still
mere lanky growth and sickly leaf. The
uncovered compartment showed stunted
growth with a very dark and partly shriv
eled leaf. It should be observed that the
cleetiic light was kept en from 5 p. m. till
C a. m. every night except Sunday dur
ing the experiment, which took place iu
January, 1SS1, but that diffused daylight
was net excluded. At intervals also the
circulation of air through the dividing
framework was provided for. The results
are confirmatory of these obtained by Dr.
J. W. Draper in his valuable researches en
plant life in the solar spectrum iu -1843,
which led him te the conclusion, in oppo
sition te the then prevailing opinion, that
the yellow ray-rand net the violet ray
was most efficacious in promoting the de
composition of carbonic acid in the vege
table cell. Having in consequence of these
preliminary inquiries, determined te sur
round the electric are with a clear glass
lantern, mere satisfactory results were
seen observable. Thus peas which had
been sewn at the end of October produced
a harvest of tipe fruit en February 1C,
under the inllucncc, with the exception of
Sunday nights, of continuous light. Rasp
berry stalks put into the house en Decem
ber 10 produced ripe fruit en March 1, and
strawberries put in about the same time
produced ripe fruit of excellent flavor and
color en February 14. Vines which breke
en December 20 produced ripe grapes of
stronger flavor than usual en March 10.
Wheat, bailey and eats shot up with ex
traordinary rapidity under the influence of
continuous light, but did net arrive at
maturity. Their growth having been tee
rapid for their strength caused them te fall
te the ground after having attained the
height of about twolve inches. Seed of wheat
barley and eats planted in the open air
and grown under the influence of the ex
ternal electric light produced, hewever,
mere satisfactory results. Having been
sewn in rows en January C they germin
ated with difficulty en account of frost
and snow en the ground, but dovelepcd
rapidly when milder weather set in and
showed ripe grain by the end of June,
having been aided in their growth by
the electric light until the beginning of
May.
" Doubts have been expressed by some
botanists whether plants grown and
brought te maturity under the inllucuce of
continuous light would produce fruit ca
pable of reproduction. In order te test
this question the peas gathered en Febru
ary 10 from the plants which had been
grown under almost continuous light
action wcre replanted en February 18.
They vegetated in a few days, showing
every appearance of healthy growth.
Further evidence en the sanie question
will be obtained by Dr. Gilbert. F. 11. S.,
who has undertaken te experiment upon
the wheat, barley and eats grown as above
stated, but still mere evidence will prob
ably be icqnired uefeie all doubt en the
subject can be allayed.
" I am aware that the great weight of
the opinion of Mr. Darwin gees in favor
of the views that many plants, if net all
of them, require diurnal rc3t for their
nerman development, and it is with great
diffidence aud without wishing te generalize
that I feel bound te slate as the result of all
my experiments, extending new ever two
winters, that although periodic darkuc?s
evidently favors growth in the sense of
elongating the stalks of plants, the con
tinuous stimulus of light appears favor
able for healthy development at a greatly
accelerated pace through all the stages of
the life of the plant, from the early leaf
te the ripened fruit. The latter is superior
in size, iu arerna aud iu color te that pro
duced by alternating light, and the resujt
ftig seeds arc net at any rate devoid of
regcrminating power. Further experi
ments aie necessary, I am aware, before
it would be safe te generalize. Ner does
this question of diurnal rest in any way
bear upon that of actual or Winter rest,
which probably most plants that are net
called annuals ' require. The beneficial
inllucncc of the electric light has been
very manifest upon a banana palm, which
at two periods of its existence viz., dur
ing its early growth ami at the
time of the fruit developments
was placed in February and March
of 1880 and 1SS1 under the night action or
ene of the electric lights, set behind glass
at a distance net exceeding two yards
from the plant. The result was a bunch
of fruit weighing seventy live pounds, the
banana being of unusual size and pro pre pro
neiiucctl by competent judges unsurpassed
in flavor. Melons also remarkable forsize
and aromatic flavor have been produced
under the influence of continuous light iu
the early spring of 1880 and 1881, and I
am confident that still better results may
be realized when the best condition of
tomperature and of proximity te thcelec
trie light have been thoroughly investi
gated. " My object hitherto has rather been te
ascertain the general conditions of this
growth, from which T am led te think tlrat
the time is net far distant when the elec
tric light will be found a valuable adjunct
te the means at the disposal of the horti
culturist, making him independent of
climate and season and furnishing him
a power of producing new varieties. Be
fore electro-horticulture can be entertain
ed as a practical process it would be ne
cessary, however, te preve its cost,
and my experiments of last, win
ter have in part been directed
towards that object. Where water
power is available the electric light can be
produced at an extremely moderate cost,
comprising carbon electrodes, wear and
tear aud interest upon apparatus and ma
chinery employed, which experience else
where has already shown te amount te 6d.
per hour for a light of 5,000 cand'es. The
personal current attention requisite con
sists simply in replacing the carbon elec
trodes every six or eight hours, which can
be dene without appreciable expense by
the uudcr-gardener in charge of the flics
iu the greenhouse In my case no natural
source of power was availabe and a steam
oujriue had te be resorted te. The engine
of six nominal horse power which I em
ploy te work the two electric lights of
3,000 candle-power each, consumes" fifty
six peuuds of coal per hour ( the engine
being of the ordinary high pressure type),
which taken at 20s. a ten would amount
te Od. per hour, or te 3d. per light of 5,000
candles. But against this expenditure has
te be placed the saviag of the fuel effected
in suppressing the stoves for heating the
greenhouses, the amount of which I have
net been able te ascertain accurately, but
it may safely be taken at two-thirds of the
cost of the coal for the engine, thus re
ducing the cost of fuel per light te Id per
hour. This calculation would held geed
if the electric light and engine power were
required during say twelve hours per
diem, but inasmuch as the light is net re
quired during the daytime and the firing
of the boiler has nevertheless te be kept
up in order te supply heat te the green
houses, it appears that during the daytime
an amount of motive power is lest equal
te that employed during the night.
" In order te utilize this power l have
devised means of working the dynamo
machine also during the daytime, and of
transmitting the electric energy thus pro
duced by means of wires te different
points of the farm where such operations
as chaff-cutting, timber-sawing and water
pumping have te be performed. These
objects arc accomplished by means of small
dynamo machines placed at the points
where power is required for these various
purposes, and which are in metallic con
nectien with the current-generating dyna
mo machines near the engine. The con
necting wires employed consist each of a
naked strand of copper wire supported ou
wooden poles or en trees without the use
of insulators, while the return circuit is
effected through the park railing or wire
fencing of the place, which is connected
with both the transmitting aud working
machines by means of short pieces of con
necting wires. In order te etisure the me
tallic continuity of the wire fencing, care
has te be taken wherever there are gates
te solder a picce of wire buried below the
gates te the wire fencing en cither side.
As regards pumping the water, a three
herse power steam engine was originally
used, working two ferce pumps of 31
inches diameter, making thirty-six double."
strokes per minute. The same putnps are
still employed, being new worked by a
dynamo machine weighing four hundred
weight. When the cisterns at the housej
the garden and the farm require filling,
the pumps arc started by simply turning
the commutater at the engine station, and
in like manner the mechanical operations
of the farm, already referred te, are ac ac
cemplisheibby ene aud the same prime
mover. It would be difficult in this in
stance te state accurately the percentage
of the power actually received at the dis
tant station, but iu trying the same ma
chines under similar circumstances of re
sistance, with the aid of dynamometers,
as much as GO per cent, has been realized.
" In conclusion, I have pleasure te state
that the working of the electric light and
the transmission of power for the various
operations just named are entirely under
the charge of my head gardener, Mr.
Buchanan, assisted by the ordinary staff
of under gardeners and field laborers who
probably never before heard of the power
of electricity. Electric transmission of
power may eventually be applied te thresh
ing, reaping and plowing. These objects
are at the present time accomplished te a
large extent by means of pertable steam
engines a class of engine which has at
tained a high degree of perfection. But
the electric meter presents the great ad
vantage of lightness, its weight per hoi sc
power being only two hundred-weight,
while the weight of a portable engine will!
its boiler filled with water may be taken at
fifteen hundred-weight per horse-power.
Moreover, the portable steam engine
requires a continuous supply of
water and fuel and involves skilled
labor in the field, while the
electric cngine receives its feed through
the wire ( or the light rail upon which it
may be made te mbve about ) from the
central station, where power can be pro
duced at a cheaper rate et expenditure for
fuel and labor than in the Held. The use
of secondary batteries may be resorted te
with advantage te store electrical energy
where it cannot be utilized. Iu thus ac
complishing the work or a farm from a
central power station considerable saving
of. plant and labor may be effected. The
engine power will be chiefly required for
day work, and its night work for the pur
poses of electro-horticulture will be a sec
ondary utilization of the establishment
involving little ettra expense. At the
same time tiie means are provided of
lighting the hall and shrubberies in the
most perfect manner and of pieducing
effects in landscape gardening that are
strikingly beautiful."
