Exterior Decorations of the Palace.

The corn palace OF 1889 in the glory of
completion is distinct from the palaces of
OF 1887 and 1888. The general purpose of
the whole is, of course, the same as in the
previous years, viz: TO display by decor
alive use the agricultural and natural pro-
ducts of the magnificent agricultural realm
Of the upper Missouri valley. of which
Sioux City is the market and the trade
capital. This is the corn palace idea. Il
is original with Sioux City. The first
palace for such purpose in the world was
built in Sioux City in the autumn of 1887.
The possibility of producing splendid
way was then first discovered. The work
was all done, as we'll as the idea conceived
by Sioux City men and women.
Every exterior surface of the structure
is covered and decorated with some form
of natural products, corn being the pre-
vailing material. The whole is vast dec
Grated pavilion. Ears of corn are sawed
lengthwise into halves or into transverse
sections an inch thick. These sections
are nailed firmly on the sheeting of lunl-
Der which forms the walls, making great
variety of patterns ana figures, but all
combined and subordlnated to general
artistic plan. Sections of all colors of
corn ears are used-yellow. white, red, va
rlegated, the pearly SqnaW corn, ana all
intermediate colors. The vast surface is
broken by the projections and openings
into convenient fields for decorative in
genulty.
Take one of the simplest forms, three
ears of white corn nailed on vertically alter
mating with three yellow ears horizontally,
and then consider the possible combina-
tons as to color and position, to say moth
ing of the forms of the figures and the
combinations Of the same. By laying on
the corn according to perspective many
illusions are produced. Thus the portal
is massive arch. Above it in an ample
space is a shield and folded flags, the folds
and stars and stripes being perfectly rep
resented by red, white and blue squaw
corn.
These colors of corn are further re-
lieved aud varied by trimmings of other
parts of the corn plant. such as the stalk,
blade, tassel, husk, etc., as we'll as of
grains, grasses, sorghum seed and other
growths. The boundary lines of fields of
decoration and of the parts thereof, as we'll
as their backgrounds, are formed by
great variety of these reliefs of dressing.
Every variety of fringe and border is thus
made. The effects of millet, flax and sor-
ghum seed in this m inner are especially
rich and beautiful.
