CULTIVATED TRUFFLES.
A PARISIAN SCIENTISTS IMPORTANT
DKCOVERY,
BY FREDERIC LEES.
The heart of the gourme.'should indeed be gladdened by the until now unpublished no- Bouncement, which I am privileged to make through the Pall Mall Gavalla. And is there a lover of good eating who does not appreciate truffles, especially when they come from the Périgord? And who would not be glad to buy this fragrant variety, the Tuber melatiespaum, At, day, a shilling a pound, rather than pay the e of twenty shillings and upwards, ordinary price of Hule though the question of cost, as I am fully aware, troubles the epicure. I would be an exaggeration to state that truffles du Périgord will be as plentiful next winter in Covent Garden Market as strawberries are in the summer; but this, at least, I can say, on the authority of M. Emile Boulanger, a Parision scientist who has been, studying these much. sought for fun for many years, past, the problem of their cultivation has now been and a largely increased supply, bringing solved, with it an inevitable drop in price, is merely a question of time,
This epoch-making discovery (I may be excused for writing with the enthusiasm of a con- firmed gastronome) was communicated to me the other day in a private room attached to M. Boulanger's Paris laboratory, where I found. him studiously bending over bis microscope, He
spoke of it with that modesty which I have nosiced is almost invariably shown by those who have accomplished great things, spoke of it as though it were an everyday achievement, and il was not without much prompting that I succeeded in drawing from him the story of his researches.
"You ask me how many years I have been cognged in studying truffles," repented M. Boulanger
"Well, really, I have almost lost count, it is so long age since I bigan. But 1 suppose I must have been at it for quite tea years... No; 1 by no means met with encouraging results at the outset. Indeed, must confets—mas I have not been ashamed to do in certain scientific pamphlets-that I was at first hopelessly on the wrong tack, That frequently happens even with the most careful scientific investigators Mistakes are often guide posts to success. But from the very beginning 1 was convinced that the apotes in the transparent asci of truffles--spores | which can quite casil be distinguished under the microscope could he artificially cultivated. One of the primary difficulties to overcome was to discover the substance on which they would most profitably thrive, ·Bread and, potatoes, for instance, I found were unsuitable; but at Jast hit upon the proper m dium-carrots, which, as you know, contain a large quantity. of sugar, one of the principal requirement of these spores."
"And having decided that important point, I suppose, M. Boulanger, that the surmounting of other obstacles was mere child', play ?" 'Ï interposed, with a I see your
replied the scientist. "Yo 1 are qui a correct in thinking that there were many other difficult problems to be solved besides the one I have just mentioned. I will not weary you by explaining the hundreds of little details which had to be dealt with in the course of my experiments; low it merel enumerate, the chief points which called for attention: the finding of the proper conditions under which srofile speres will germinan ; the most practical method of steriluing the boutes in which they develop the invention of a stopper for the e borties, a stepper, which, white allowing the free passage of a r, will prevent the entrance of deleterious microbes the best method of trans porting the resulting mycelium, or so-called spawo, to the clamps d'expérience; the discovery the proper time of year for sowing it, and
of
so on."
"
Noticing, at this point of our conversation, that the room in which we were sitting was furnished, on two of its sides, with numerous shelves, on each of which were four rows of Jarge bottles, I next asked if these contained the precious mycelium of Périgord truffles Before answering, M. Boulanger rose from his seat, and taking one of the boules from a particular compartment handed it to me.
And
This one does," he replied, though you would not be able in distinguish it from the others without a mitosropic examination. I am able to culi vate any species of truffle you lke, and you will please observe that that con- stitutes a conclusive proof that my researches have been crowned with success. Certain fel. low-scientists to whom I recently communicat ed the results of my experiments were sceptical, made one or two adverse criticisms. "The traffes you find on the places where you have sown your so-called mycelium could have been found there if you had never sawn it at all, they argued, in substance; 'for they are merely the ordinary truffles which are fou d from time to time in your district. Not at all! was my reply. The traffics of the Etampes district, where my experimental grounds are situated, are, as you say the ordinary ones, the Tuber brumale, but those gathered on my estate are, for the most part, Tuber melano sporum. And as I saw, so do I reap If I care to produce the English truffle, Tuber mustivum, the Italian variety, Tuber magnatum, I can do so by sowing the proper mycelium. My argument has, of course, never been answered; and for the very gend reason that it is un. answerable"
or
"You have, then, conducted your experiments both in Paris and at Etampes on a very big scale, M. Boulanger!"
"Yes, on vely extensive scale indeed You will have been able to judge for yourself of the importrace of my Paris laboratory, with its many rooms, its air-pumps, sterilisers, etc, and its staff of assistants, who are engaged in Ioking

will some day, possibly in the near future, be quite as easy the growing of mushrooms.”
And M. Emile Boulanger, as our interview drew to a close, went on to tell me how costly had been his ten years' experiment. Up to the present he has spent over 11,003, in return for which he has received just sufficient Périgord truffles to supply bls own household and the tables of his friends. But be has
beep quite content with even so small a practical result as that, krowing, as he does that the solution of the problem in little in the all essential, point. He is fully aware that his 00,000 francs are well invested, and that, pow. sibly within two or three sansans, his capital will be returned to him over and over again.
