Effect Of Detasseling Corn.

At various times it has been thought
that the removal of the tassel of the
corn plant would result in a larger
yield. This was based on the admitted
fact that large amount of energy is
used in the development of the flower
and the production of pollen. A num-
Der of tests were made to determine the
facts in the case. OF course it was nee
essary to allow enough pollen to be
produced to fertilize the silks. In most
OF the tests, therefore, the tassels were
removed from every alternate row
pulled out as soon as they appeared or
three rows were detasseled and ole left
untouched.
AT the Cornell sta ton detasseled corn
produced a slightly greater yield during
the first two years. but the third year
there was practically no benefit. In
Nebraska, detasseling resulted in de-
creased yields Here the tassels were
cut off instead of being pulled out. rs
was the case in New York In Mary
land the yield was decreased by the
practice. In Kansas the detasseled
fields produced slightly the most corn.
In Illinois tests were made during two
years. In both cases it was evident
that no greater yield was produced by
rows that had been detasseled.

Scenes of Horror Enacted Upon the
Burning Building.
New York, Aug. l8.-At least three
persons and possibly others were burned
TO death in fire that destroyed six
story brick building at 465 Greenwich

caught ON fire escape and burned to
death in view of the crowd The in
jured who are expected TO die are Felix
Haas and an unknown man. The
others hurt were taken to hospitals and
their homes.
Eight or ten explosions added to the
excitement, but served a good purpose
in aiding the firemen, as thereafter the
flames were more easily got under con
troll Individual losses are not known
definitely, and total of $3.50, 600 il
estimated. Y arren q Co. s loss, a
all others, was total, and it is estimated

New York, Aug. 14.-William Jen-
nings Bryan, of Nebraska, and Arthur
Sewall, of Maine, were tonight form
ally notified of their nominations by
the Democratic party for the offices of
president and vice-president, at meet
ing in the big Madison Square garden,
forming notable political event, and
remarkable climax to the remarkable
tour of the presidential candidate
across half the continent. An army of
unnumbered thousands filled the'streets
and crowded about the building i'll the
hope of securing admission. In the
hall, which was like fiery furnace,
Bryan spoke to 90, 600 people for nearly
two hours. His address dealt almost
entirely with the financial question;
was more argumentatlve and less elo-
quent than his historic Chicago speech,
and only in closing appeal to the cit
liens of New York did he speak in the
strain in which he had captured the
Chicago convention. He was surround
ed by many of the silver leaders. Tho
Democratic leaders, with the exception
of former State Treasurer Danforth,
who presided over the meeting, and
Congressman William Sulzer, who or
ganized the first Bryan club in the
state, were not present.
Mr.. Sewall spoke briefly after Bryan
and was heartily cheered Governor
Stone, of Missouri, delivered the Motif
cation speech, which declared that the
work of the Chicago convention wat
the work of the plain people, and thai
Bryan was their candidate.
After the notification meeting, Mr.
Bryan was driven to the Hotel Bar
tholdi, facing Madison square, where
he spoke again ON the balcony, with
Mr.. Sewall and Mrs. Bryan, who
shared with her husband all the honori
and attention of the day.

Sea water For City Streets.

The ancient idea of flushing the sew
ers and cutters of city streets with sea
water is being vigorously discussed in
many places In England it has como
into such favor that q proposition is
now put forward to supply the city Of
London with sea water. The water
would be taken from the sea at spot
not far from Brighton remarkably free
from pollution. 1t would be pumped
into a reservoir of 10, 900. 900 gallons.
Thence it would be forced into another
reservoir. from which it would CRAWL
tate to London. The present consump-
ton of water in London is 200, 600, 900
gallons day, of which $1,000, 600 gal
Ions is used for municipal purposes.
This might be saved for domestic our
poses by the introduction of sea water
The cost of the project is put at 81, $780,
600, and the sea water would be sup
piled by meter for public purposes at a
fraction of the present cost of fresh wa
ter. One watering Of the streets with
sea water is said to be equal to two or
even three, with fresh water. 1t pre-
vents the decomposition of street refuse,
it is effective for flushing sewers. and
particularly valuable for the extinction
of fire. OF its value to health there is
no doubt, and it would be easy to sup
ply it to hospitals and TO schools for
swimming baths

Vegetable Properties.

1t may be well to mention that an
eminent physician who has been inves-
tigating the properties Of the different
vegetables announces that diet OF
carrots ameliorates harshness Of charac-
ter and reduces nervous irritability.
Peas create fatty tissue and encourage
joyousness, while turnips have just the
opposite effect. Celery taken III excess
causes eye trouble, while cabbage is
beneficial in pulmonary ailments, and
lettuce aids as a sedative owing to the
opium contained in its milky juice,
which keeps the skin clear and fresh.
Red beets are blood producing and will
