Earthuuake Predictions.

It has been the aspiration of many
years so to develop the science OF
seismology that it would be possible
to predict with some measure of rea'
sonable accuracy the time and local
ity of the occurrence of earthquakes.
Nearly twenty years ago Japan or
ganized a committee to investigate
the possibility of such predictions,
and since that time other countries
have conducted inquiries and engag-
ed in international effort to the salise
general ends. Very little progress
has been made, as witness the ap-
pallirg suddenness of some of the
most recent and terrible of the Wis
itations. but it must not be conelud-
ed that science has abandoned the
study or is weakened in its faith that
some progress viii yet be made

MUSHROOM GROWING
Attention Paid to Preparation of the
SoiI-The Main Crop.

SOIL ne mdln SfOP.
The Japanese have an interesting
method of growing a kind of mush-
room known as the wood mushroom,
agaricus shitake.
This species, which is much priced
as a food in Japan, is related to the
so-called honey fungus, species
very destructive to the roots of trees
and woody plants. This latter spe-
cies, it may be noted, is one of the
causes of phosphorescence in decay
ing wood.
The Japanese method of growing
their mushroom seems to consist en-
tirely in preparing the ground for
it. A coppice of red oak. beech or
chestnut of some twenty years
growth is cut down just after the fall
of the leaf. The wood is then left
lying for 100 days. 1t is then cut
into lengths of three or four feet and
the logs are lacerated with large
pruning knives. Spores settle on the
wounded parts and the mycelium OF
the fungus spreads through the It's
sues of the wood.
Next year crop of mushrooms
springs up. The production of mush-
rooms may go on for six years, but
the main crop is gathered the second
year. The attempt is now being
made to cultivate the wood mush-
room in Germany in the Japanese
manner-London Globe.

Leather Bottle Much the Same as
When Dickens Lived There.

When Dickens Lived There.
The Leather Bottle Inn of Pick
wick. fame is still standing in the
quaint old village of Gotham. Dick
ems spent several days and nights
there before and after the writing
of 'Pickwick," and his visitors al
Gads Hill were generally taken for
walk through the woods to be
shown the picturesque inn.
Today it is shrine for Dickens
pilgrims, according to the Queen, who
visit it in increasing numbers and
leaves their names in the well worn
bulky visitors books. Still the
house remains village inn of an
older time. with low ceilings, oak
panels, small windows and heavy
furniture.
1t is very much as it was
when the immortal Boz spent his
time there creating the scene which
is at least as well known as any 9TH
er in the story of Mr.. Pickwicks
feasts and fancies; but the Dickens
room, the bar parlor and in fact the
whole house is overlooking with
prints and pictures and sketches of
the famous novelist and the creations
of his fertile mind
1t was in the churchyard across
the road from the Leather Bottle
as it was then known, though now
more often called the Pickwick Inn
that Mr. Pickwick reasoned long
and earnestly with the respondent
Tupman, who had fortified himself
at the Leather Bottle for Hrema-
ture departure from an irresponsible
world.
The one street of the picturesque
village of Gotham forms an avenue
of neat cottages, with an atmosphere
of contented old age characteristic
of the county so famously described
by Dickens as unapproachable for its
apples, cherries, hops and women"
1t is in one of the loveliest parts OF
Kent, about three miles from Roches-

CAREFUL DOCTOR

Prescribed Change of Food Instead
of Drugs.
1t takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only

who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard

ATHLETE A BACK NUMBER.
The Broad ShouIdered Mans Popular
ity as a Model for illustrators Past.

The very broad shouldered athlete
who has been the popular model for
illustrators whether they are making
clothing advertisements or pictures
for best sellers is no longer the
mode. He has had his day, and the
man with more normal shoulders is
now preferred.
''The padded out shoulders that
have been characteristic of the ready
to wear clothing" said one of the
Illustrators, went into the discard
weeks ago and now they are sup
plying the inspiration for the comics
In the same way the man with thick
muscles and biceps is no longer in
demand among the men who make
the pictures for the yorng girls
books. He's a back number of the
most decided type.
THE popular figure is slim all the
way up. 1t is not narrow sIhouldered,
but of the measurement that the tail
ors call natural, which means that
the shoulders seem little broader
than they really are. There is no
padding in coat, but the. least bit
of lining that carries the shoulder a
little out.
"Such is the shoulder style of the
present year. The hulk that looked
like a champagne bottle turned up
side down is thing of the past.
Even on the beaches this summer
the new medium shouldered man is
the real thing in masculine beauty.
The broad shouldered 40, of form
er years seems to realize this, for
he attempts to make himself look
narrower by the cut of his bathing
suit, letting the jersey run out to
the arms" New York Sun. !.
