The Cloth Moths, (Tinea pillonetta,) deserve to be celebrated on account of their interesting proceedings. They are born naked, but immediately think of clothing themselves, thinking nothing of colors. They are little cylindrical worms, which make themselves muffs exactly the shape of their bodies, and open on one end. The stuff is manufactured by the insect itself, and consists of silk of its own furnishing, and the detritus of the cloth on which it feeds, and out of which it makes its dress. When its covering is completed, it lines the interior in immediate contact with its skin, with very soft silk; it never puts on a new dress, but, as it grows, it adds to the old one. This is easily lengthened by adding some of the same material at each end; but to make the coat fit, when the body grows broader, is a more complex affair. This it does by slitting open the cylinder half way down, first on one side and then on the other, and connecting the parts thus let out by very ingeniously adding new pieces, which are sutured on to the old by means of silk, of which the little creature keeps a constant supply.

If a Tinea which has fed on red cloth for a time, be put upon blue, the sutures will be blue, and he will appear in a short time in a party-colored dress.

In very many cases fruit trees are planted in the natural soil, perhaps with a superabundance of manure; no preparation precautionary against the descent of the roots into a most ungenial subsoil has been made, and the consequences have been what we find everywhere in the case of tender fruits - an annually occurring immaturity, which, of course, becomes accumulative. And what must be the consequences of heedless planting on soils which receive the solar heat, as it were with reluctance 7 Why, late growths, and, of course, immaturity, nakedness in portions of the limbs or branches, and barren fruit spurs, which, being only half organized, blossom in a future spring only to deceive. Drainage in soils of a hard, clayey character, and large holes for the trees with a mixture of manure and top soil, is the remedy.

Pinus Wincesteriana is the name of a new pine cultivated in England, from near Tebic in Mexico. It is remarkable for its long incurved resinous cones, and is very distinct from any heretofore described; the leaves are in fives. Forty-three species of rhododendrons were discovered by Dr. Hooker in the Sikkim Himalaya Mountains, and yet Mr. Booth shortly afterwards discovered sixteen-more.

It is only when climbing roses as pillar roses have been fully established, and have nearly filled their places that pruning can, or ought to be, dispensed with, in a great measure; that is, an annual cutting back of all shoots; but all plants in cultivation, from a forest of oaks, to a bed of mignonette, require to be thinned more or less occasionally, and so must all roses.

The pigeons recently employed in carrying messages are not the kind called " carriers," but those crossed between a dragon and a tumbler, and are called skinnums. Another error consists in the supposition that birds can carry letters of the ordinary size tied under the wing - a fatal hindernnce to their flight. When messages are sent by them they must be written on a narrow strip of thin paper, say three inches by three quarters of an inch, rolled round the shank of the leg, and secured by a thread. In flight the foot is drawn up into the feathers, and no resistance is offered to the passage of the bird through the air.
