ACETYLENE GAS. 



Prof. F. Wm. Kane, of the Agricul- 

 tural College, Durham, N. H., has been 

 carrj'ing on some experiments to dem- 

 onstrate what effect if any the light 

 from acetylene gas had on plant growth. 

 As a result he makes the following de- 

 ductions: 



1. That acetylene has a marked effect 

 upon greenhouse plants. 



2. That no injurious effects resulted 

 from the use of the acetylene. 



.3. The liglit has a stimulating inllu- 

 ence on most plants, and appears to be 

 beneficial to some plants that are grown 

 for foliage, such as lettuce. The lettuce 

 stood more erect and weighed more. 



4. Most plants tend toward a taller 

 growth under the light. 



3. It is doubtful whether this light 

 can be used in the 'greenhouse from an 

 economic standpoint for growing plants 

 alone. While its effect is marked in the 

 dark days of winter, little difference 

 seems to be shown at other sca.sons of 

 the year, when there is more sunshine. 



6. There are many points about acety- 

 lene that make it desirable for lighting 

 greenhouses. It is not expensive, is eas- 

 ily piped, and comparatively simple to 

 run.
