Having confldence in my friend, I wrote to Gen, Plensanton regarding Ity and In reply recelved a copy of his huok, snd nstrue- tlons rezarding the application of the blue lght inthe case I reclted to him. Iaving practical evldence Leforo mo of the benefits to bu derived from the applicatioz of the “blue light,” I pro- pose fu this letter to give some general fdea of Gen, Pleasunton's theories regarding the DLUR AND BUN LIGHTH, ‘To premise, then, Gen, Pleasonton, the author of tho bovk in question, was not the famous cavalry Jeader during the War, ns lins Veen quite gonerally supposed, but ts Lis elder Drother, The covaley Jeader Is Gen, Alfred Tleasonton, while the discoverer of the blue- light theory {8 Gen. Augustus J. Pleasonton, Xie 1a a graduate of West Polnt; was in the reg- ularariny for somo thme, from which Jie re- signed; during the War he was o Brigadier- General of Pennsylvania® militd, aud was se- Tceted to organize o body of 10,000 men within tho Stato for use In emcrgencics. - Iie Is a low- yer of promincnce in Philadelphla, a gentleman of culture, wealth, and rellnement, Owning o farm outside of the city, he, in 1300, commenced to eSperiment upon his theory regarding the different colora In the sun’s rays, and thelr «¢ffects upon vegetable and anfinal life, Experi- ments made in Burope had atready demonstrated that the bluo rays of the sun's Nght had greater chemieal powers than any of the others, developed a greater amount of heat, and wero especlally stimulating to vegetation, But theso experiments had been barren of practical re~ suits, and Gen. Pleasonton was left to his own resourees {0 earry out his fdeas. Jle builtn Targer grapery, covered with glass, every cighth row of which was blue. By thls arrungement, the sun, in making its rounds, CAST A LLUE BAY OF LIGNT upon every plant and leaf within the grapery. In Aprit, 1801, he set out twenty varletics of grane-ves I his grapery, all of the cuttings heine oue year old, the sizo of u pipe-stemn, wnd cutclose to the ground. The vines soon began to show a moat vigorous growth, nnd In o few weeks the grapery was filled with vines and folinge, By 8eptember=or five months ofter setting—the scedmun who bad furnished the cuttings made measurements, and foand that the vines had grofvn fortysflee feet In leneth, and were nn inch fn diameter u foot above the ground, These vines attracted great attention Inabo nefghtorhood, Lut ¢ was predicted that, owing to this unusual growth, they would not bear fruit. ' Next year, however, the vines displayed the samo vigorous growth, and, fu ad- Aition, boro d¥er 1,200 pounds of lusclous grapes of unusual elze. This was more astonlshing to hortleulturists than the growth of the viner, Lut from thatday to this the vises have kept up tho sutne vigorous growih, being entlrely freo from diseose and destructive Inscets, and bear- fog whth proportiunate proliicness, llow markable this result Is will beuppreciated when At I8 known that In grape-prowing countries the vines do not bear fruit untll the fiith or slxth year, Having been so suceessful {o his first ex- periment with vegetable life, Gen.
