How Mushrooms Grow:
A41aW years ago the banks of the lot
opposite the Brunswick Hotel, Roston,
were sodded and the land leveled to its e
presnt grade. As the pick of the
workmati broke up the soil, a white a
substance ran through every piece.
Starting with large branches,it divided I
and snbdivided like the velis on the I
back of tho hand. Tihe smell was very t
C
strong"quickly noticed on the opposite
side of the 'way. This subterranean
white vein : for it had that appearance: i
was nothing but the hidden part of the t
Coiprinus comatus, a mushroom freely E

thought to be poisonous. The common u
name Of this substance Is "spawn.'' t
Just as a cutting of the grape vine 1
placed in conditions favorable to growth b
will shoot up. put forth branches and It
bear fruit, so a part of this corprinus 1;
viie., transplanted will continito to b
ramifyand in time show the result In P
It
the .for'm of mushrooms. The whole
earth beneath your feet, on a country t
walk,ii alive wath vegetation to at great i
depth. This vegetation is just as real, c
and the various vines-or, la other L
words, the thousand varieties of mush
room spawn-are Just as distinct as the d
hop vine and the woodbine,the ivy and c
the virgin's bower that twine their a
tendrils over your head. Just where 0
grew this year a peculiar kind of toad- U
stool, there next year, and so on for e
successive harvests, will you find the e
same plant. There Is no more mystery b
about its appearance than in the growth v
r4
of the chestnut on the tree that shades v
it. Rapidity of growth is not near so p
general as It is thought to be. The a
common mushroom aud many others c
form for (lays Just below the soil. A *
heavy dew or an evening shower ivill k
straighten the sten of the inngus and e
expand Its top. It bretks the earth in a :
the night, atid the gatherer Is able to 8
find in the morning the white buttons a
where he could see nothing the day
before. So, popular error hai made p
mushroom growth proverbial for a u
superficiality, which, by the fungi, at a
least, Is undeserved. Further, the va
riousvarietiesof toadstools succeed enioh It
other In rotation, Just as the bloodroot
and anemons of spring are followed by a
the roses of summer and the cardinal or b
geutlan of fall. Those are not theories
that-are here advanced; they are the e
results of several years' careful watch- e
Ingof the grow th of this order of plants. t
On the very spors where, in 1874, 1 v
gathered mushrooms, there, In 1879, 1 v
found the Identicalvariety; so that the d
lover of fungus may have his regular f,
harvest with all the certainty of the 11
farqier who looks for a return of his 0
wheat'crop, or the results of his oran
berryi culture. With Just that degree a
of certainty, no more or no less, for, as t
certain years are fqvorable to the pro- a
duction of certain fruits, as the potato 0
crop sometimues fails, anld the apple
orchard Is barren, so the mushrooin
0
spawn, usually producing abtundantly v
Its expected variety, may pass a year, s
or even, under dillculties, become ex- e
tinct. Th'le blight which may visit all i
life, animal or vegetable, does not fail a
to fall at times upon my humble frienids.
Catacombs, of J'alermno.
8
T.lui strangest of all strange sights at
Palermo are the catacombs of the Capu. a:
chins. Wec are all familiar with the
character of' the Roman andl Neapolitan
catacomibs-undergrou nd excavations,
remarkable for their great extent, and C
for their associations with the history
of' the early Christian Church. Tihae
Palermo catacombs have a frightful
peculiarity of thir own. You descend
from the little church, just outside theC
walls, not by deep, subterranean pass
ages, but into a succession of' vaults,
well lighted, and of no greater depth
than an ordinary cellar. Tihese vaultsf
are long and narrow corridors,on either i
side of which, in niches cut out of the a
wall, ranged in ghastly raanks, are pre
served the bodies of the dead, not con
lined out of sight, but cacth In the garb
appropi:iate to it while living, or else
lai a long robe or winding sheet. Below
those niches are wooden coffins, with
windows at the side to showv the faces
~of the occupants. Overhead near the
ceiling are skeletous of ch iilren sitting,
or of men reclinilng; all perfectly pre
served, some with the skin still cover
ing the bones, others haviaig nothing
loft but skull and shoulders and ria>
bones, with the arms in front, pionely
crossed. Some peculiarityv of the sol
prevents the ordana.iy decomposition,
and men buried nearly two hundred
years ago still survive in this skeleton
company. Strange to say, thtey are not
permitted to rest in peace. On the 2di
day of November ian every year, the
four de rnorts, or festival of the dead,
their relatives flock to this dismal place
and the well-known mumumeries are

New Life, 1aft.-A iew life raft was
recently tested on the Thames river,
London. The apparatus consists of a
long metal cylinder with two stretch
era, and an oval air tube. Attached to
tle tube are cork and india rubber
floats. Should an accident ocaur at
sea, the cylinder and stretchers can be
fixed in two minutes and a half, and
the apparatus, being thrown Into the
water, la then ready for Instant tise.
Wkei tie crew of the raft are in her,
they increase the buoyancy by inflating
the tube by means of eight or ten valves,
which are worked by hand, the full in
flation occupying a quarter of an hour.
The buoyaucy of the raft was satisfac
torly shown, for thirty-five men were
upon It as It floated down the river from
Lambeth to the Temnple Pier, casting
anchor off the House of Parliament, for
the purpose of showing the handiness
of the craft to a number of honorable
members assembled on the'Terrace. As
r
a test of buoyancy, the whole of the i
crew and passengers stood at one aide a
of the craft, yet it remained as trim and
even upon the water as if no person t
were in it. The craft will cost $500,
and is capable of holding one hundred
persons, can be easily made up into a i
deck sent, so that very little can be said
against it on the score of clumsiness,
and, the weight being only 400 lbs.,
the launching would be easy ; while the
sides being constructed of India rubber,
a heavy sea would not crack it to splint- ,
ters against tile ship's side, tia in, the
case of an ordinary shi p's boat. The
main cylinder is hollow, for the pur
pose of holding oars, sails, and provi
sion, and the bulwarks are of netting
and canvas fixed to iron stanchions.

Transporting Fresh Mfeat.-Thle Vienna
method of sendiig fresh mutton and
beef to the London and Paris markets
appears to have met with considerable
success. Attached to the slaughter
house is a cooling room with well
fitting double doors, and as nucl as
possible protected against external in
fluences of temperature. At one end
of tie cooling-room Is a large blowing
engine 1-5m, In diam., which sucks the
alt from the roof of the room, and then
forces it through a tube 35ctm. wide
behind the lee-holder at the opposite
end of the room. There is a large lce
case, to be filled from without, in
which the air to be cooled conies dir
ectly into contact with the ice. Before
the flesh has quite stiflened, it is trea
ted with chemically piare borax. This
is applied to the meat, in the form of
fine powder, by means of a bellows
similar to that used in France for sul
pliurization of vine-stocks. It is pour
ed throuh a funnel Into the bellows,
the fIlling hole is stopped, anid thd sub
staince is then blown ouit through tihe
dulst-producing apparatus Introduced
at the point. The quantity of borax
used is so small that It is presently dis
solved by the moisture on the surface
of the meat. It is, therefore, not per
ceptible by the eye, especially as, also,
it does not in the least alter the asoect
of the moat. After complete cooling,
the meat is bound in linien sacks, anui
is ready for being sent oft'. The cool
ing-house is situated close to tihe rail
way, and it is of the highest imupor..
Lance that thecooled meat be put direct.
ly into the ice wagons. The cololinlg in
these is, similarly, air-tight olosure,
steady motion of the inner air, and the
forcing of tais through an ice-chest.
lTe air Is drawn through a funnel In
the root of the wagon, passes throught
a tube into an air-big, and from this
through sats into the ice-chest, filled
with ice, which it leaves on the other
side.
French Treatnment of Neuralgia-In a
recent communication to the Academle

culiar value of amumonical sulphate of,
copper in the treatment of neuralgia.
le states that in cases where every
other resource has failed, even the ad
ministration of gelsemin um and aconhia,
a cure or remaricable relief may be ob
tained to the most severe symptoms by
means of this drug. Among the ex

- Tun other day T. U. met an old

young lumherman up north, but whose
bad habits of drinking resulted as they
