ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION. 



Announcement is made by the execu- 

 tive committee of the World's Fair, to 

 be held in St. Louis in 1904, that Mr. 

 Frederic W. Taylor, who has been Acting 

 Chief for the past J'ear, is to be Chief of 

 the Department of Horticulture dating 

 from January 1. Tliis, in additon to 

 the appointment made more than a year 

 ago by which Jfr. Taylor has been and 

 is to continue Chief of the Department 

 of Agriculture. 



It seemed desirable to have these two 

 great departments handled as a harmon- 

 ious whole, since the buildings to house 

 them are located upon and occupy ex- 

 clusively a large and high hill in the 

 most commanding position on the expo- 

 sition grounds. 



The building devoted to horticulture 

 will cover six acres and the one devoted 

 to agriculture twenty acres. Surround- 

 ing these two buildings are forty-one 

 acres of ground, (he entire area of which 

 has been placed in the hands of the 

 chief for planting and treatment. 



A CORRESPONDENT of the Scientific 

 American expresses the belief that the 

 reason rain stimulates vegetation more 

 than rtrtilieial watering is thiit the rain 

 is charged with electricity and suggests 

 that experiments be made with water 

 electrically charged. He thinks this 

 could be easily done if the water was in 

 an insulated barrel or a pail bottomed 

 with rubber or glass. After being 

 charged it could be applied with an or- 

 dinary rubber hose witli a non-conduct- 

 ing nozzle. 



Indianapolis, Ind. — John A. Wilkins, 

 of this city, has patented a new device 

 for transplanting large trees by which 

 the tree is handled entirely from its 

 base. After the soil about the tree 

 is made thoroiighly wet a circle of steel 

 shovels is inserted around it which are 

 then combined into what may be called 

 a steel basket. The tree is then lifted 

 by screw power and later lowered in the 

 same way at its new location. 



Nashvuxe, Tenn. — It is reported 

 that a new cemetery, to be known as 

 "Woodlawn," and for which a charter 

 has been recently applied, will build 

 greenhouses to cost $25,000. Tlie cem- 

 etery will contain 158 acres and the 

 company proposes to expend $150,000 in 

 improving the property. The incorpora- 

 tors are Thos. J. Felder, D. C. Buntin, 

 Thos. -W. Wrenne, Robt. Goodlett and 

 Thos. Taylor.
