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

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, a species very
destructive to the roots of trees and
woody plants. This latter species, il
may be noted, is one of the causes of
phosphorescence in decaying wood.
The Japanese method of growing
their mushroom seems to consist en-
tirely in preparing the ground for ii.
A coppice of red oak. beech or chest
nut 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
Iacerated with large pruning knives.
Spores settle on the wounded parts
and the mycelium of the fungus
spreads through the tissues of the
wood.
Next year a 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 mushroom in
Germany in the Japanese manner

LACKING ON WALL PAPER
Sometimes That Method Is Preferable
to Paste-How Il 10
Accomplished.

you never heard Of lacking on
wall paper? oh, dear! yes" said Mr..
Flatdweller, 1--WE often do that. We
don't put the paper on with tacks
originally, but we tack It on In ma
king repairs.
You know how the paper curls
away from the wall sometimes, stif
and hard with the paste on It? Some
times II it's left hat way pieces OF
the hard paper may be broken on.
Well, you couldn't very well paste
that paper down again, because you
couldn't make any paste strong
enough to take out the curl and make
he paper hold; and then with paste,
even II 1t would hold, you might not
make a nice job Of 1t around the
Joints, might get on too much paste
and go get some Of 1t on the outside
OF the paper. So we just tack down
the curled up paper and tack on the
pieces that may have fallen of.
But don't the tack heads show In
he paper? No, not at all, not
ahem!-as we do the lacking. That's
where the fine art Of lacking on pa
per. as we practice 1t, comes In.

ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES
speculations Which Explain Miracles

An electrical engineer Of Munich
named Stadenmann makes an In,

Jews in the time Of Moses had an
advanced knowledge of electricity,
using passages from the Bible to en-
force his claim.
His theory of the famed serpent of
bronze is that it was a lightning con-
ductor and he also says that the tenn

metal points connected with the
