Some singular experimental results
connected with the mobility of metals,
according to Nature, haye been OBJ
tanned by Prof. Robefts-Austen. Many
experimenters, especially Prof. Ora
ham and Lord Kelvin, have studied
the diffusion of gases and saline solu-
tions, and Prof. Roberts-Austen has
measured the rate at which certain
metals will penetrate each other. He
finds that solid gold, for instance, will
dlttuse into, and move about slowly in
lead, even at the ordinary temperature
OF the air, and with considerable rapid
ity if the lead be warmed, though far
from melting. Evidence as to the
presence of wandering atoms in q solid
possesses much interest now that
views as to the nature of metals and
other solids have been extended by the
discovery that certain rays of light will
penetrate them.
During the last three years the zodi-
acal light has been studied by r. Mar
chand under the very favorable condi.
tons afforded by the Pic du Midi OBJ
servatOry, at an altitude OF about 1000
feet. The phenomenon is usually best
seen in the evening of spring or morn
iDgs of autumn, but at this station it is
visible at all seasons if the moon and
clouds do not interfere. BY plotting
on chart the limits of luminosity. it
has been found that the belt of light is
about 140 in width, and that its central
plane probably comedies with the
plane of the SUMS equator The obser-
vations confirm the theory that the at
tenuated cOsmical matter of which the
zodiacal light is probably composed ex-
tends all round the sun, in the form of

Va iegated Tube Roses.

About two years ago / received "A
large bulb of thenew Variegated tube
rose. Never having tried this variety
before, was curious to see if it was
all that it was represented, so
planted it in box of sand, we'll fer.
tilted with stable manure, and wait
ed.
1t came up and grew very straight
and tall. 1t was five feet high when
it bloomed, and the perfume was al
most overpowering.
The flowers are single, pure white
and held aloft in a cluster on the
top of a tall, straight stem. The
leaves are striped, white and green
and grow out on each side of the
stem. Unlike the ordinary tube rose,
each bulb blooms twice.
When it died down it was taken up
and put away with other bulbs in a
dry place. It made one new bulb.
Last spring [ planted it again in a
tub with one OF my roses 1t came
up and bloomed this year, but the
plant was not quite SO tall 1t was
about four feet high, but the flowers
were as good as before. [ expect
that | will have a succession of bloom
every summer, if nothing happens;
for, although the bulbs must be two
years old, like other tube roses, be-
fore they bloom, the old ones bloom
twice and make new bulbs each time.
Include the Variegated tube roses
in your order next spring, and grow
them as a back ground to the Excel
sior Pearl, or by themselves and see
if they are not satisfactory.

Some Easy Grown Ornamental Plants.

The following article was read be-
fore the Florida Horticultural Society
at it's meeting last May, by Mrs.
P. H. Rolls, of Lake City.
It is my purpose to call your atten-
ton to plants that experience has
proven can be successfully grown in
Florida. In selecting these [ have
tried to choose only such as will
stand light freeze, and have given
preference to those which can be
made attractive during almost the
entire year.
First, [ want to mention the sweet
alyssum. This is one of the most
easily grown of our garden ANIMALS
and one with which all are familiar
and yet few realize it's true value
when used as border plant or mass
ed in beds. In fact l am afraid the
cheapness of the seed Give to ten
cents per packet) and the little care
required to bring this plant to per-
lection, leads many to think it not
worth cultivating; but when mass
of snowy whiteness is seen in mid
winter, and we learn that it is bed
of sweet alyssum that claims our
praise, we are anxious to know more
about it.
With this plant, we can so arrange
as to have it in blossom every month
in the year, as seed sown in October
and Novembe will give plants for
winter blooming, and seed sown in
January and March will provide them
for summer blooms. 1t being an an
nual we must not forget to keep
growing new plants, as when a seed

ton during the winter by covering
with leaves and mulching, but it
must be kept dry enough not to
smother the plant. The large plant
that has grown the summer before
should be pruned back to the firm
wood before the first frost occurs
and covered with dry leaves or moss
and then with earth. Keep the
mound dry until all danger of frosts
is past, then uncover and force along
rapidly. These plants will bloom
in six or eight weeks, thus coming

unlimited praise.
There are several varieties but all
depend upon cool weather for their
beauty. In getting a start of these
it is we'll to obtain as many varieties
as one can to propagate from. To
make good looking border it is
best to plant them about four inches
apart. They will soon meet at this
distance and will need frequent trim
mings to keep them at their best.
The grouping will have to be varied
to suit the particular condition. Usu-
ally the more modest cOlors are bet
ter for the foreground and the bril-
liant ones in the distance.
Most people grow tired of border
of a single plant throughout the en-
tire year. 1t is a decided relief to
plant a border of beds or along a
walk to alyssum before the first kill
ing frost, so as to have alyssum in
bloom when it occurs. Then another
row may beplanted in March and the
first row removed when the second
begins to bloom we'll. In May OF
June a row of ageratum may be
planted six to eight inches inside of
the row of alyssum. The plants will
make a matted border in about six
weeks if set about eight inches
apart, when the alyssum should be
removed. Under proper care these
plants will bloom until frost occurs,
but about the first of October alter
nanthera may be set where the alys-
cum stood; these will make a matted
border by the first of December.
when the ageratum should be re-
moved.
Many of us have been at a loss to
secure cut flowers for bouquets dur
ing the summer months. This want
is supplied if we take the fore
thought to grow bed of cosmos.
The seed should be sOwn in March
April and May, and young plants
transplanted when two to four inch
es high. Set plants a foot or eighteen
inches apart in rich soil and water
freely. By crowding, we get long
Towering stalk which is a decided
advantage in making up a bouquet
For use in church bouquets but few
flowers prove more attractive. Its
very simplicity makes it beautiful.
The mass of green feathery clear cut
foliage is of itself very attractive, but
blooms three inches across are to be
seen dotted here and there, the effect
is very pleasing to the eye. A dozen
or more of these flowers on their long
graceful stems make a much admired
bouquet.
