How Florists Dyo and Porfumo tho Swootost of Earth's Produota rnradlng Under Fatso Colors Tho Green Ciiruntfon Tho Lllj-of-thn-Valley Sin do to Blush Macs with tho Fragrnnco of noses. COFVniGIIT, 1S96.1 ODERN scientists nnd cnemists hntc no rcapect for na ture. They hav lately taken hot most dellcato ere ations, tho flowers of tho field and the garden, and at tempted to changft their colors and perfumes. Strange to say, consider able success has attended their ef forts. Many fashion able florists both in American and European cltie" have established regular chemical laboratories i n connection with their hot houses for carrying on this uniquo industry. The if ad comes originally from Paris by way of London. Tho machinery necessary to prepare a flower to meet tho demands tof this fin de siecle crazo is exceedingly elaborate. Syphons, carbonic acid gen erators, retorts of 'various sizes and de signs, in short nearly every applinnce of a well-equipped laboratory are called Into use. The up-to-dato florist must bo on expert chemist as well as an artist and a horticulturist. The practice of coloring flowers to satisfy the taste of customers is another trick of the trade which is becoming quite common. Thi J is carried out by a carefid scientific mothod, and often as much trouble is taken as in any cloth (tying establish ment. The first steps in this direction con sisted in tho artificial dying of such flowers as the white carnation, tho lily-of-the-v alley, and tho hyacinth. There is a well-k)-own New York florist who frequently changes tho color of these flowers to suit tho whims and fancies of his wealthy patrons. He finds that he can successfully treat almost any bulbous flower by placing it in a solu tion containing oxalic acid and tho special color which be wishes to impart to the petals of the plant. It was in this way that the "green carnation" of. WUICIX &U 1UUUU UUA IIITUIU UJC.ll W DU ago, was produced; a lily-of-the-valley can bo changed from its pure white to a delicate blushing pink by placing tha cut flower in red ink. The oxalic acid in the Ink opens the pores of the plant and allows tho coloring matter to be absorbed. ThW samo New York florist hits long been trying to produce a blue chrysanthemum, with the view of pleasing the patrons of the Yale foot ball matches. He ha3 not yet succeeded, but ho is firmly convinced that it will only be a matter of time before chemists enable the florist to produce eery ,known variety of color in flowering plants. Max Nordau has been recently quoted as saying that this fashion of changing i the color of flowers is a mark of the de generacy of the age, and that It is only done to satisfy the unhealthy cravings .of degenerate persons. He does not (blamo the florist or chemist, but tho man about town who wears his green carnation, and the fashionable lady who must liavo flowers artificially colored to matcii ner costumes. iMcyertneiess, it continues to be done; and as long as new and striking effects canbe pro duced there will be a demand among a certain clas3 for the colored flower. "Beauty," snys a French writer dis coursing upon this subjpet of artificial colors, "Is bdt a vain ornament in flow ers when unaccompanied with fra grance. What pood is there In this dis play of bright colore that delight the. eyo if tho flower 1ms no odor, or if it exhales an insupportable one? lie pro ceeds to tell of a friend who undertook to dt'privo the African marigold of its ill odor, and who succeeded with little difficulty. Ho soaked its seeds for two days in some rose water in which ho had Infused a little musk, then allowed them to dry slightly and sowed them. These flowers were entirely deprived of their bad odor, but were, neverthe less, slightly mprovedj Ho then, sowed tho seeds of theso plants after prepar ing them as abovo stated. The rfesult, ho says, was tho production of flowers that in sweetness of perfumo were capable of competing with jasmines and violets. In perfuming flowers, ond especially in artificially strengthening (md reviv ing tho natural odor, florists have gone Wm IMPHOVIXO ON NATURE .C&ftMSSIP- much 'further. It would seem that in this lino there Is really no limit. In or der to revho flowers exhausted by tiino dr carriage, their extremities nro itri mciscd in vessels containing a weak so lution of sal nrrionlac. Their odor la then strengthened by moistening them with an alcohol solution of the perfumo or essential oil corresponding to tho nnt ural scent. This is done, on a very largo scalo with violets, roses, hawthorns, etc., tho per fumes of which aro manufactured largely in Prance. Two such perfumes nro "vlolottlno"and"geranloltne." The former Is compoSed of 100 grammes of alcohol, 100 of glycerine, and ten of essence of violet; tho latter is a similar preparation in which the essenco of lolct is replaced by genmoil or artificial oil of rose. The glycerine In these prep arations is added In order to fix tho scent, which would otherwise rapidly evaporate. ? A more scientific method of strength ening tho odor of fldwers before ship ping them or placing them on sale Is frequently used. They nro put into a wooden box cooled externally with ice. In tho bottom of this box lies a tube provided with perforations! and through it is sent a current charged with carbonic acid gas and tho odor characteristic of tho flower. This cur rent Is produced by the evaporation of tlic liquid carbonic acid contained in a cylinder, and its flow is controlled by a regulator. Tho carbonic acid ga slightly heated by a spirit lamp as1 it passes through a coil or worm, bubbles up through the essential oil contained in another receptacle; and Anally passcf, into tho box where it gives up the, per fume with which it is charged. Again, in order to fix tho odor, the flow crs aro sprinlded w 1th a very small quantity of glycerine. ' Not content with adding to tho strength of scented flowers by this means, the flower dealers, aided by tho suggestions of chemists, ha e gone the, length of depriving flowers of the Ba tumi odors and substituting others. They have given the fragrant lilac the yHjflttL odor of the rose, tho pink the perfume of the violet, and the humble corn flower the aristocratic scent of the jas mine. It is a delicate operation and one that does not succeed with all flowers. It consists in immersing the flower in a bromide solution which divests it of neaily every tiaco of its natural frag rance. After this it is washed, and then perfumed with the odor desired in the manner already described. Tlie results of these attempts to im prove upon nature are not always sat isfactory. Flowers which have been doctored or revived by artificial means rarely last long enough to afford any pleasure to those who purchase them. Theio is, after all, nothing that can rival the natural beauty and fragrance as a flow er as it comes fresh from tho garden or hoMiousc; and, happily, there are still millions of peoplo who would give more for tho fragrance of one sw eej. violet fresh from tho woods than all the artificial productions of New York or Paris. Moving a Whole Town. Tho moving of an entire city to an other point, which offers strategic and commercial advantages superior to ita piescnt location, is being proposed iu tho far north'of Russia. The City of Kola, on the peninsula of the same name, is now situated at the confluence of tvo rivers, the Luttojoki and the Notosero, forming the Kola river, about 50 miles from the Arctic ocean. While tho rivers and tho bay below aro nav igable for even largo vessels, Kola is situated so far inland that it is shut off from the sea by led much longer than other seaports situateaeven farther north than Vardoc, in. "Norwe gian Lapland. Tho governor of tho province, Archangelsk, Baron Engel hardt, to whoso jurisdiction the dis trict of Kola belongs, has proposed to transfer tho city to a better port nearer tho mouth of Kola river into tho Arc tig ocean Imperial and mlusterlal consent hnvlng been given, active prep orations aro now being made to trans port Kola, house by house, by Bleigh3 dri the river, to a spot 43 miles below. The new location affords great advan tages to navigation, nnd since U Is, eur rounded by hills, which will take but litfltv expense to Btronglj;' ibrtify, will certainly become a -point of jgreat fitratefgio importance.
