was overcome in the wrestling. The young man
punctually obeyed his instructions in
every particular, and soon had the
pleasure Of seeing the green plumes
OF his supernatural antagonist shooting up
through the ground. He carefully weeded the
earth, and in due time was gratifed by behold
ing matured corn plant, bending with its
golden fruit and gracefully waving its green
leaves and yellow tassel in the wind. He then
prepared feast, inviting his friends to partake
OF 1t, and thus originated Indian corn.
THE EARLIEST SPECIES.
Whatever the actual origin CT corn may have
been modern botanists and naturalists are
agreed that the earliest species was the kind
known as "zea tunica" or clothed corr"
That is, each kernel on the ear was inclosed in
separate husk, like grains of wheat in the
head. Descending from this type varieties
have become almost innumerable, each coun-
try, climate and soil producing their own modi-
fications. No other plant thrives SO well in all
attitudes. In the tropics il is made to produce
while in the far north. where the warm season
is scarcely long enough to admit of its devel-
opment, it puts forth its ripened ears when
hardly more than two feet above the
ground. Corn is called the ''lazy man
crop, because it can be left standing in the
Held almost from one years end to another, not
requiring to be garnered at any particular
period. There are five distinct species of corn
dent, flint, sweet, soft and pop. No fewer
than seventy-ive varieties are grown in the
state OF Nebraska alone.
THE DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF MAIZE
have been SO determined by cultivation that
each will invariably produce cars true to type
when kept free from others. 1t is said that the
Indians have produced such well-defined mix
lures OF the kernels on the ears as to make il
possible TO distinguish by what tribe any par
tiehlar ear has been grown. For example, one
tribe has all red and white grains. another all
pure black, and SO on, even to the arrangement
OF the different-colOred grains on the ear. The
adoption of these distinctions is said to have
been originally for the purpose of detecting
thefts OF corn by one tribe from another. The
great corn patch, embracing Indiana. Illi-
nois, Iowa, Missouri Kansas and Nebraska,
produces enough of the cereal in one
year to load string of wagons, placed
end to end and each carrying forty bushels of
sheiied corn, extending around the world six
times. The line would stretch In straight
line 154.S79 miles. Loaded on freight cars car
rying 500 bushels each the same quantity of
shelled corn would require for CARRYING it four
trains stretching continuously from New York
to San Francisco. with train 1850 miles long
left over. Travelling at the usual rate such a
train would require whole year to pass through
Chicago.

Throwing Stones in Corea.


The Corean correspondent of q Japan paper
gives an account of curious popular practice
in Corea. Kite flying which is universal in that
country, ceases suddenly on the 18th Of the
first Corean month, and the next day stone
fights take its place as the chief public amuse-
ment. In the eastern part of Seoul, the capital.
there are large open spaces that have not been
built npon, and here occur the most serious and
interesting fights.
One section of the city is pitted against an
other, but any one can take a hand on either
slde at pleasure. There are no recognized
leaders, but the mass of fighters readily follow
the lead of any one who shows himself TO be a
little more reckless than the rest Two mobs.
consisting OF 90. or 100 men each. are drawn
up against each other, with an interval of per-
haps fifty yards between them. There is an in
cessant shower Of stones, and each mans basi-
ness Is to hit as many men as he can, and es-
specially to avoid all the stones directed at him
From ten to twenty men on each side are armed
with stout clubs. and wear thick wadded
helmets These form the diminishing line Tnev
sally out from their respective sides and. meeting
in mid-career. strike out viciously U each
others heads, each man holding up his cloak
with his left hand as a shield to ward off the
blows of his adversary. After the club fight
has lasted about thirty seconds one side or the
other begins to give way, which is a signal for
side breaks and runs. and sometimes are chased
into their houses, but generally some of the
pursuing party press too closely upon the fugi-
tiyes. Then the latter suddenly turn and deal
a few staggering blows. which check the pur-
suers. and i'll a second the tables are turned, and
those who moment ago were flushed with VIC
tory are now in full flight with their enemies
Thus the battle goes back and forth across the
fields, while the neighboring embankments are
crowded with spectators. The effect of the
laundering cheers OF the spectators upon the
combatants is marvellous. They charge upon
each other as if in actual battle. and show what
would be bravery if exerted in some useful
cause. Near the river are numerous villages,
numbering from 100 to 500 houses each. They
are situated along the banks at intervals of
about half a mile. These keep up a continual
series OF fights among themselves during the
season, one village being arrayed against
another. The defeated party fly across
the marshy fields 10 their own village, fol-
lowed by their enemies. who enter after them,
selling anything ON which they can hay their
hands-iron, files, doors-to mark their victory
Then the whole village rises against the inyad-
ers and they fly, glad il they can get back with
out broken heads. The first stone fight of the
present season was rather more disastrous than
usual. II is reported that six men were killed;
but this is probably an exaggeration. A COM
pany Of soldiers was ordered out to stop it,
which they found some difficulty in doing, even
with fixed bayonets.

some large shrub or under the roots Of trees,
are holes. dug so small and scattered SO as to
attract no attention from a distance.
VISIT TO THE NOTIFICATIONS
We received from the American consul. Mr..
Sprague, request for permission to inspect the
galleries. This had to be presented to the mill
tary secretary. whose Office is in an old convent
that is situated on the main street of the town.
The entrance is carefully guarded by a
uniformed sentry, who bore his responsible
ties with much dignity us though the
responsibility for the entire garrison rested
upon his shoulders. We finally got him to
tell that il we rang the visitors bell something
might possibly happen. though, as all the ofi-
GERS were of at the spring races of the Calpe
Hunt Club. he thought our chances Of obtain
ing the desired permit were rather small. A
ring at the bell however. did bring forth an
English servant in immaculate livery, who took
our note. The sentry also took a shilling, and in
due course of time We were furnished with a
paper that gave us the privilege of inspecting
as much of the galleries the public are al
lowed to see. Unfortunately no person not con-
nected with the British service is now allowed
to see very much of these Notifications or to
ascend either Of the three SUBMITS Of the rock,
the views from which must Of necessity be
superb. This was. of course, q sore disappoint-
ment to us, as. with the true American tourist
spirit, we wanted to go to the top, and were es-
pecially DESTROYS Of seeing that part which we
were prevented from visiting. There was no
help for it, however, SO the readers of The
STAR must not expect to learn from this issue
just how many miles one can zee from this most
famous fortress in the world.
THE APPROACH TO THE ENTRANCE
OF the galleries is up series Of winding streets
and alleys so steep that it would seem absolutely
out Of the question for one horse ever to draw
vehicle to the top. One horse did do il,
though. On the way up we had good view Of
handsome Moorish castle, which 10 said to
have been built in 742. This Is within the for
hidden lines, and may not be visited without
special pass from the English authorities. At
the entrance to the galleries visitors are taken
in hand by sergeant, who sees that every one
is properly registered in big book and then he
turns them over 10 another non-commissioned
officer, who acts as the guide through these most
curious Notifications. The one who fell to our
lot Was, we judged, master gunner in the ord
nance corps. He was o very intelligent sort Of
fellow. and, barring the fact that be bad
