A Valuable Ear of Corn.

An ear of corn which Patrick
Cullen believes to be worth a small
fortune, is being carefully preserved
by that individual, who recently found
his prize on farmer Upright's place
at Marion Square, Montgomery
county, says the Philadelphia Record.
To the ordinary city man there is
really nothing remarkable about the
ear of corn. Its kernels are not OF
solid gold, nor are there any diamonds
concealed about the cob. Its value
lies in the fact that somewhere at
some time or other some agricultural
society offered a reward of 81 900 to
any one who would find perfect ear
OF corn with the kernels growing in
an uneven number of rows. 1t has
always been found that the rows are
even, say 10, IL or IA to a cob. This
ear which Patrick Cullen found, how
ever, shows 13 rows around the butt
and IL around the middle of the cob.
Many farmers to whom Cullen showed
his prize assured him that the ear was
as perfect as it could he, and that it
was really curiosity. Cullen is now
looking for the agricultural society
which offered the 81 900 reward.

Do Metals Become Tired?
New York Ledger.

NcW Iork LcukeL.
Various instances are on record
where metals, while not showing any
appreciable wear, have literally fallen
to pieces, and that without any as
signed cause. On one occasion q steel
rail, after % years continuous service
on the Great Northern railway, in
England, actually disintegrated under
the wheels of passing train. So COM
plete was the breaking up that scien-
lists thought it worthy of investiga-
tion, during which it was determined
that the metal had become exhausted
and had broken down, just as an over
strained animal might be expected to
do. This has led to further inquiry,
and scientists are satisfied that metals
do become tired out. Fine cracks Of
ten appear in steel rails, and it has
been supposed that they are caused by
the continuous conclusion of railway
wheels. This, however, seems to be
contradicted by the examination of
newly made rails, in which similar
fine lines occur. The idea that metals
become weary, while not altogether a
new one, is to an extent plausible
