Roofing House Plant Leaves,

Perhaps to the amateur the most
interesting way of propagating
plants is that of roofing leaves
There are quite a number of plants
with which this is possible. Echeve-
ria, Rex begonia and gloxinia are
among the common plants propa-
gated by this means. To root
echeveria the leaf is carefully
broken from the stem and inserted
in the sand. 1t takes about four
weeks for it to start into growth,
when small bud will be produced
at the base of the leaf. Sometimes
this bud does not start, but still the
leaf will grow. l know of one leaf
which has been growing in a pot for
four years and still has not made
bud.-Suburban Life.

On the Upward Road,

Miss Houghton was very philan-
thropic and gracious old lady, who
was bound to seem encouraged
whenever there was chance. In
reality she was pessimst, but
much trouble was bringing her
around as she said One evening,
after lecture on South Africa, she
remarked to friend:
"There's one thing, my dear,
which is surely step upward, and
that is that those horrible canni-
balls he told about are eating pig
boiled instead of raw. How much
tlat means!' -Iouth's Companion.

LAGOON SHARKS.
Aitutaki Islandsrs Catch Them BY the
Tails With . lasso.

The island of .Aitutaki, one OF
the Hervey group, in the Pacific, is
surrounded by islets underneath
which are submarine caverns, the
home of sharks. The natives CLASH
fy them as lagoon sharks, which are
quite ferocious at times and spare
nothing they can seize. The lagoon
shark, about six feet long, is es-
teemed a delicacy, and the natives
supply their feasts with the tooth
some dish by remarkable style of
fishing.
Arrived over the entrance to the
shark cave, the fisherman leaves his
canoe to the care of his compan-
ions and dives to the bottom, car
rying with him slipknot of strong
cord. He expects to find two or
three sharks at home, well satisfied
and drowsy after feeding in the
lagoon, with their tails toward the
entrance. Selecting the largest, the
diver adroitly adjusts moose over
the tail, taking care that it hangs
loosely. If he has another moose
he secures second shark.
The shark catcher now, with one
bound on the white, sandy bottom,
rises to the surface in order to as
sist his friends in hauling up the
fish. The astonished sleepers be-
meath suddenly find themselves as
cending tails first to the surface.
Once inside the canoe smart blow
from an ak between the eyes or on
the nose ends the career of the fish,
One of the most successful shark
catchers at Aitutaki was Reubena.
Long practice had made him almost
amphibious. One morning he start
ed off with two companions to one
of the more distant islets.
On entering it Reubena found
several sharks lazily resting them
selves. In a trice a slipknot was
skillfully passed over the tail of the
nearest shark without exciting it's
ire. The shark at this critical juno
ture moved so that there was not
room enough for Reubena to get
out.
He gently stroked the side of the
shark and succeeded in inducing it
to move away so as to permit his
exit. This operation is said to he
very agreeable to the fish, but if
through nervousness the shark be
stroked the wrong way it's anger is
sure to be excited and the divers
life would be the certain forfeit.
Reubena was making his escape
when, to his dismay, another large
shark came back from feeding in
the lagoon and blocked up the en-
trance with his unwieldy body. To
get out now was impossible, for
even Reubena dared not stroke the
head of the monster.
The captive fisherman waited,
hoping the shark would go farther
in so as to leave the opening free.
The huge fish did not move. Reu-
bena's agony became intense. Sec
onds seemed to be hours. At last
the shark passed on quietly into the
interior, and Reubena was barely
able to get out of the cave and rise
to the surface. His associates in
the canoe, who had become anxious
for his safety, seized him by the
hair and pulled him in, blood flow
ing from his ears, eyes and nostrils
