FAR SEEING EGYPTIANS.
Why They Waved Wild Palm Branches
Over Date Palm Flowers.

Why They Waved Wild Palm Branches
Over Date Palm Flowers.
More than one thousand years ago
Herodotus observed remarlza BILE Gus
tom in Egypt. says Professor Drum
mOnd. At a certain season of the
year the Egyptians went into the des-
ert, cut off branches from the wild
palm and, bringing them back to their
gardens, waved them over the flowers
of the date palm. Why they per-
formed this ceremony they did not
know, but they knew that if they
neglected it the date crop would be
poor or wholly lost.
Herodotus offers the quaint ex-
PLANTATION that along with these
branches there came from the desert
certain flies possessed Of a ''vivific
virtue which somehow lent an ex-
uberant fertility to the dates. But
the true rationale to the incarnation
IS now explained. Palm trees, like
human beings, are male and female.
The garden plants, the date bearers,
were females, tho desert plants were
males and the waving of the branches
over the females meant the transfer
ence Of the fertilizing pollen from the
one to the other.

An Arctic Plant That Is Remarkable In
More ways Than One.
s'One Of the greatest curiosities I
ever met with in my travels said
Professor Philip Z. Newman Of Gin
sinnati, sis the sunf1ower that blooms
in the northern portion OF Siberia,
where the earth is continually covered
with a coating of snow and frost
This wonderful plant shoots from the
frozen soil on the first day Of the year,
and reaches the height of about three
feet; it blooms on the third dav. re-
mains open twenty-four hours, and
then returns to its original elements
1t shines for a single day, then the
stem, leaves, and flower are converted
into snow. The leaves are three in
number
1.-The flower is star-shaped, its pet
ais about as long as the leaves and
about half an inch wide. The third
day the extremities of the leaves show
little glistening specks, like diamonds,
about the size Of the head of pin.
These are the seeds of this queer
flower 1 was told that on one occa-
sion some Of these seeds were gath
cred and hastily transported to st.
Petersburg. They were there placed
in bed Of snow, where they were
kept until the first of the following
year, when the sunfower burst forth
and was greatly admired and won
dered at by all who saw it. .

CHICAGO, Aug. 1O.-The grain mar
kets today were decidedly quieter and
steady than they have been during the
past few DAYS; in fact they appear to
have resumed their normal condition
A feature of today's trading was the
strong preference which Spectators
showed for the May future over Septem-
Der, the latter being comparatively neg
lected aud the former becoming the lead
ing option. There was struggling
shower here this morning which gave
the market d temporary weak turn, but
it rallied again on firm cables, reports of
no rains in the corn belt and high tenn
peratures yesterday with hot winds
Another factor in the frmness was the
country buying, though the orders from
that source were not so uniform as here
tofore, some buying to sell
Corn opened &c lower at 561S. advanc-
ed TO 5634, reacted to the opening price,
rallied to outside figures again and eased
off to 5616. May opened &c off at "a,
eased off to $3.50, rallied TO 5418, broke
on realizing sales to 545s, rose to 545s,
but fell away to 5324.
Wheat showed d more independent
tendency and was not SO closely sympa-
thetic with corn as it had been for the
past week.

ket here responded readily 10 buying
