Growing Roses From CUTTINGS.

1t is probably not generally known
that many kinds of roses can be sue
cessfully grown from cuttings OF dor
mant wood made in winter or in early
spring. 1t can be done indoors or
out of doors by anyone who will take
the trouble to provide the right condi-
tons. The trailing roses of the beau
tiful Wichuraiana varieties are par
ticularly easy to propagate in that way.
To start the rose growing indoors,
make the cuttings of last years wood
to include two or three buds. Cut
the lower end Of each slip just below a
bud, and break off the lowest bud.
Take a small wooden box-naled, not
glued, together-and cover the bottom
with about three inches of clean, sharp
sand. Insert the cuttings in the sand
vertically to nearly their full length,
and cover the box loosely with glass.
Keep the box where it will have heat
from stove or from a radiator, with
some, bur not too direct, sunlight The
sand will hold the heat
In few weeks a callus will form
over the lower end of each cutting, and
the roots will start out above it. One
or more shoots will also appear from
the top bud. The cutting is nov ready
to put into soil
At first the little rosebush must be
treated carefully, especially if the
shoot has grown much. A cool, moist
room it better than warm, dry one
IT is good plan to cover the pot and
the plant with a bell jar at first, or
with large lamp chimney with cloth
tied over the top.

Must room Seeds.

We often wonder at the amazingly
sudden upspringing Of mushrooms
and toadstools. To-day the green of
the lawn is unSroken. In the nigh,
a gentle rain falls, and We wake TO
see a crowded group Of yelloyish-
white inky-caps" spreading their par
asols in the very shadow of our door.
step. Mr.. Burton o. Longyear in the
Cutters Book describes the marvellous
reproductive powers of these fragile
and short-lived plants.
Each species- OF fungus produces
upon or within some part of its fruit
ing body countless numbers Of minute
reproductive bodies called spores. So
small and light are they that they
float in the air as an invisible dust.
Many of them fall to the ground and
are washed into the soil by rains.
Others are waited away on every
breeze, carried possibly for days, to be
brought down at length by rain many
leagues from their starting point. In
this way they are carried to the ends
OF the earth, busted into every crack
and Granny, lodged on every exposed
surface of wood or soil and caught on
every dew-moistened leaf or twig.
The amazing number of spores pro-
duced by single fungus can be
realized only by knowing their rel
ative size. Thus in the case of mos.
pufballs at least three thousand OF the
glooular spores, when laid side-by-
side, would be required to form a line
one inch long. A compact mass of
such spores, the size of a parlor-
match head, would contain the incom-
prehensible number of thirty millions
of these microscopic bodies, enough
to cover an acre of ground with four
spores for every square inch OF sur
face.

Hearing Ears.

A certain naturalist who maintains
that we hear only that to which our
ears are attuned tells how once, in a
noisy New York street, he heard the
sound of a cricket hidden in a base
ment window. No one else appeared
to hear it, though every passer-by
promptly stopped and looked round
when the naturalist tossed dime
on the sidewalk a few seconds later.
Although that particular test perhaps
was not altogether fair, the following
anecdote also bears out the theory:
Arthur Sullivan, the composer, and
Sir Alexander Mackenzie once found
that they had forgotten the number of
house to which they were invited.
Sir Alexander protested that all he
knew was that the door scraper was
E Hat. So away they went, kicking
the door Scrapers along the row." I'M
til at last Arthur Sullivan exclaimed,
Here we are this is E fat" 1t was
the right house.
