Eueh" species of fungus produces
upon or within some part of its fruit
body countless a umbers of uAnute re
productive bodies called spores. So
small and light are they that they tloflt
in the air a« an invisible dust. Many
of them fall to the ground and are
washed into the poll by rains. Olliers
are wafted away on every hree/e. ear
ned possibly for days, to he brought
down at length by rain many leagues
from their starting point. In this
way they are carried to the ends of
the earth, dusted into every crack and
cranny, lodged on every exposed sur
face of wood or soil and caught on
every dew-moistened leaf or nvig.
The amazing number of spores pro
duced by a single fungus can be real
ized only* by knowing their relative
size. Thus ip the ease of most puff
halls- at least three thousand of the
globular spores, when laid side by side,
would be required to. form a line one
inch long. ' A compact mass of such ;
spores, the size of* a parlor-tuatMi 1
heart, would contain the ineoniprelten
sMo number of thirty millions of thesi
microscopic lioilies, enough to cover -
an .acre of ground with four spores
for every square inch of surface.

"Easter Riding” In Bohemia.
In various parts of Bohemia, now
the principal state of the new Czecho
slovak republic, a curious old custom
prevails, that of “Faster riding.” <»n
each Easter day, at four o’clock in the
morning, the riders assemble, dressetl
In black and carrying crosses, flags and
other emblems. From Schonwald Miey
proceed on a three-hours’ ride an
Kuhn, where they ntteud service. The
priest, after a sermon wherein he re
fers to the horse as a symbol of pow
er. bestows ids benediction on the ani
mals and their riders. This done, the
riders visit the neighboring castles,
where they receive hospitality, subse
quently making their way homeward,
escorted by a hand and a large crowd.
The origin of this curious custom Is
lost In the ml«ts of antiquity..
China's Tea Industry.
Indications are that the Chinese gov

to encourage the tea industry in that
country and to In crease China’s ten
trade with foreign countries, and the
Peking cabinet recently decided to es
tnhllsh a tea bureau under the minis
fry of Hgrieul’nre and commerce. It
Is stated thin the ten industry of China
is ruVt keeping pace with the world’s
increasing consumption of tea, and
while China Is stiH holding its trade in
the flner qualities, India and Ceylon
have practically raptured the market
from China as te the common black
