Autumn Care of Plants.

All tender plants, as begonias, the ten
der CaCtuses, mbry-anthemums, pep
eromias, Gala, epiphillum and all those
classes of plants, should not become
chilled at night. Geraniums, ageratums,
latanas, fuchsias and all that class will
not injure short Of actual frost, but care
should be taken that no plant intended
for the house should be exposed to
strong winds. When the weather is
clustering, it is better that they be re-
moved indoors, putting them out again
upon the recurrence of fine weather.
Avoid, above all, allowing them to be
drenched by cold chilling rains. What
ever the temperature of the room during
the day, it should not fall below forty
two degrees at night, nor should the
night temperature often 90 much below
sixty degrees. One of the very worsy
things for plants is TO allow direct
draft of cold air to strike them from the
outside. Change the air of tne room by
allowing it to enter through another
apartment Do not water unless the
plants need it. This may be soon esti-
mated pretty correctly by the size Of the
pots, and tie nature of the plants. Po-
rous-leayed plants require more water
lldll III III -lCdNtu ones. AL JHe tdtlll
tribe require but little water in winter.
The smaller the pot the oftener it will
require water. 1t is betterthat the plants
sometimes show signs of dropping than
to keep them drcnched If the soil is
kept full of water, the plants are sure to
sickcn, for this is one Of the reasons
that water should never be kept in sauc-
ers under the pots, except in minute
quantity, and not $ deep as 10 reach the
earth in the pots. The soil will absorb
too much by capillary attraction, and
the very act of this absorption and evap-
Grafton will keep the soil cold, and it
will become ultimately sour.
One Of the greatest disabilities to
house plants is the dust from the build
ing of fires, the constant passing to and
fro, and especially from sweeping. If
you have bay window, the plants may
be easily protected from dust at such
times by means of curtains TO be drawn.
If not a curtain or cloth should be used
for covering, This, with an occasional
sponging with tepid water e. the firm
and smooth-leayed plants, and the rims
ing of soft and dOWny ones, with an ocCas-
ional showering with fine rose pot on
plant syringe, should keep them III good
condition.

The attractions offered by the lnverteorate
ANIMALS on this coast The rocky shores
abound In varieties itfering from the pro.
ducts OF sandy aud muddy bottoms, and
the different zones have their peculiar
forms Of animal aud vegetable life, and
one has only to sweep the water with

seen only by the aid Of glass. At The
laboratory Of the fish commission crabs
not bigger than the head of a pin may be

forms, almost transparent, but active and
pugnaclous when they meet each other.
These minute animals at this stage are not
July formed, but have a tail which, when
not In use, is drawn up under the body.
This appendsge, like the csudal one of
the tadpoie, disappears when the creature
has no further need of it. So of the young
lobster; it has five feet while the ebnoml.
