The queerer the place selected for a mushroom garden, the finer, it seems, is the growth of this popular table delicacy. Damp, smelly places under tumble-down back porches. earth cellars, discarded mossy cis terns and other dark, humid spots have been found ideal. The fungus apparently thrives upon an atmos phere of decadence and decay. The last word in the mushroom farm, however, is such a garden placed in the depths of a deserted coal mine, hundreds of feet below the ground, the Illustrated World states. Not far from Mdorgantown, W. Va.. there is located this old coal mine, 'known as the Pittsburgh Coal Seam in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The mine was worked for a number of years. but its fuel production was used for domestic purposes only, be ing dug and hauled by wagon to con sumers in the neighborhood. With the introduction of natural gas, however, the locality had no further use for the old mine and some exceedingly inter esting experiments have been conduct ed in its depths by Theodore F. Im bach, an assistant In the state agricul tural experiment station at Mergan town. Securing a permit from the owners of the property he encamped on the ftrst level and made chemical analysis of the rocky soil. He found that It was rich in moistire and its constitu ents exactly those needed by edible fungi for their quickest and most lux urlant growth. He therefore started a mushroom farm and found that the spot was Ideal for his purpose. Mushrooms now are "mined" in stead of coal and prove almost as profitable. The rooms of the mine, or the open spaces from which the coal was dug, have been found especially adapted to this kind of farming. Such locations have a steady temperature throughout the year and often they are so located as to have natural drainage. This "mushroom mine" now makes large shipments weekly to the city markets. AERO PILOT KNOWS THRILLS Probably No Occupation on Earth Can Compare With the Excitement of His Work. . The work of the pilot of an aero plane is a ticklish profession. The engine needs constant watching, the controls by which he dips or soars need skillful handling-, and the ailerons have to be manipulated. In a lot of machines the pilot has to use his back, his hands, and l:is feet to keep his frail-looking craf: cn an even keel. From below an aeroplane seems to be forging ahead as steady as a rock, but In the pilot's seat the rocking is ter rible eien on calmest days. Guns or no guns. the pilot is com pelled at times to fly low, so as to en able his observer to spy out the ene my, or any other Information he has been commanded to procure. Photos, sketches, and notes 1'ave to be made by the observer, and at a low altitude within range of an enemyrs guns the pilot has all his work cut out to avoid .the bursting shells. There is another danger in flying low; as it is the pres sure of air upon the forward edge of the planes that keeps the machine aloft, there is always the danger or flying into an air-pocket, or of en countering a cross-current; and either of these aerial dangers will send the machine hurtling to earth, where eith er death or capture lurks.

The biological survey has recom mended the raising of guinea pigs in connection with pigeons and squabs. and a great many erscns are follow ing the suggestion. A row of hutches placed over the loft of a poultry house or under the 2ocr will accommodate many animals and be little mcre trouble than the birds themselves.

Milking Machines invoked. Southwark (England) tribunal was called upon to decide whether the manufacture of a machine fcr milk ing cows was of national impor tance. For the makers it was con tended that the machine enabled farm ers to milk three cows in the time in which it now takes to milk one. Close upon 100 of these machines. it was added, had been fitted up in the last 12 months, and the firm claimed ex emption for seven men engaged in fit ting up the machines and giving farm ers instruction as to how to milk kicking cows with their help.

Trick to Dcdge U-Boats. There is one trick in the game of heating the submarines which was : __ ry well by the ship that r.ught me across the Atlantic from Liveriooi. She was advertised to sail on a Wednesday at 5 p. m. On Tues !ay afternoon each person who had booked passage by her received a per sonal and private notification from her agents that her sailing had been post pon&d for' two (lays. Of course, it weuld he e'tremely difficult to get that information to any submarine which might he lying in wait for that particular ship in time to do the sub marine any good: but, just to make It a little more certain, she did not sail even at the postponed time. The pas ars ll went up to Liverpool on Frilay and aboard ship. The vessel :uled out of the dock and anchored in the stream. There she waited for crders from the admiralty. It was thick and cold. with frequent snow squalls. all day on Saturday-ideal weather for dodging submarines; but the admiralty did not give the word to go until that evening. Then we went out into the murk at top speed. -Oscar King Davis in the Saturday Evening Post. Nettle Substitute for Cotton. Dr. Oswald Richter. professor of botany at the University for Agricul ture in Vienna, prophesies that as a result of his experiments with nettle fiber Austria will become independent of foreign cotton. The authorities have decided to organize and to pre pare for the use of the new material. In his efforts to separate the fiber of tle nettle Professor Richter used am monia with success, but the high cost of this method made it appear com mercially unprofitable. Further ex periments (so Professor Richter said in a recent lectures have proved that the fibers may be separated with wa ter. He has also simplified the process of separation. For this reason he be lieves that .e cultivation of nettles will be found profitable even in time of peace. Getting Used to it. The death rate from wounds in the war .is less than one-half as great as it was a year ago. Dr. Jacques Bertil Ion, medical statistician in the French army, declares that by hardship and exposure the men have become so toughened that they can now stand twice as much as they could last year Then 45 out of every 1,000 wounded died, while now less than 20 succumb.

For every man that has fallen in the European war a woman somewhere has lost a sweetheart or a husband. The final figures which death, the reaper, will write red at the bottom of his record will correspond with just so many unmated women, unmated with small possibility of marrying while they live in their native lands. The women of the man-reduced na tions must either face lives of co libacy or go elsewhere for their hus bands. It is therefore predicted that a vast influx of woman immigrants to America will be witnessed as soon as peace is established. The question of handling this possi ble influx is already being discussed and a large philanthropic land develop ment concern has been suggested to form colonies where the immigrant war widows and others may own and operate farms. But a woman without a man on a farm would not be a very safe invest ment even for a philanthropist. So the question of finding husbands for the various nationalities of Europe is one that must be seriously met and solved. The great percentage of our own women live in the East. And in the middle West and Southwest there are hundreds of thousands of ranch own ers, cowboys and miners who have few opportunities for marriage. But suppose a shipload of fascinat ing foreign women were transported to the center of the cowboy region all desiring to make some lonely, healthy and handsome "puncher" a helpful wife. What would be the effect on those sturdy Americans on the range? Suppose another shipload were carried to a prosperous mining town, where thousands of lonely men live in barren boarding houses, or keep bachelor cabins among the hills. Would the cowboys stampede and would the miners drop their muck sticks to marry the transplanted fe male species? Both the owners of mines and ranches prefer to have their men mar ried, because in that state they don't drift around from camp to camp so much. They would therefore give such a matrimonial propaganda sufficient and encouraging backing. And as for the bachelors, who among them would not feel the call of romance offered in such a way? French, Russian, Viennese, English and Italian, with a corresponding lan guage and manner to each. The only needs would be a hyphenated diction ary and a hurrying clergyman. Does romance ever need a language when matng does the talking? How Catarrh is Contracted. Mlothters are sometimes so thought less as to ueglect the colds which their children contract.

The theory that the gypsies began their migration from India about 900 A. D). is now ge-nerally accepted. They were traced. through their language, to Kabul and Persia. where they be came split. One group went south through Asia Minor. and it was this branch that finally, through Turkey, wandered all over Europe. They first appeared in Germany in 1417, Switz erland in 1418. Denmark in 1420. Italy in 1422, France in 1447 and Poland and Russia in 1500. Their last migra tions were to the new world and to Australia. Tlteir banishment from Germany began in 1725 under Freder ick William I. when, by royal procla mation, they were allowed a certain time in which to leave the country, after which all men, women and chil dren over eighteeni years were sent to the gallows. France never allowed the gypsies to get a foothold. Italy and Spain were tolerant with the few they received, and Russia, England, Hungary, Roumania and Poland were generous toward the wanderers.

Every man, woman and child in the United States was entitled to one bar rel of cement as his percapita share in 1915. The demand during 1916 will doubtless be larger. There are ap proximately 100,000,000 people in the United States, and the 1915 production of commercial cement was about 100, 000,000 barrels, says the Improvement Bulletin. Some' curious disproportions have been noted in the demand for cement in the various states. Very little was used in Mississippi and South Caro lina. Iowa's demand per capita was larger than any other state in the union, being 1.64 barrels. Montana obtained nearly as much. One of the companies engaged In the industry produces 18,000,000 bar rels of cement yearly. While the man ufacturers formerly bought some of the machinery used in the manufacture of cement in Europe, everything now needed by a cement mill can be ob tained in the United States.
