HEAT RUINS IOWA CORN.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 10-The contin-

September and several times breaking
the record for the summer, will practi-
cally ruin the corn crop. Director Sage
OF the weather and crop service thinks
the crop will be only so per cent, and
IL may be but 40 He thinks the hot
weather OF the past week has injured
corn, potatoes and other late crops fully
600, and he is sure this estimate
IS conservative
Several well-known grain men who
have made an examination OF the stu
alton in different parts Of the state say
the late corn is of no value and that
many farmers are cutting down the
stalks for stock. Early corn is also like
iy to be light in weight. So bullish is
the talk that many local spectators
are buying corn heavily.

Elephant Flesh an African Delicacy.

The flesh of the elephant is eaten in
its entirety by several Of the African
tribes A detail of the process of butch
ering the animals is not pleasant read
ing. The tools used are the assagai and
hatchet. The rough outer skin is first
removed in large sheets. Beneath this
is subcuticle, pliable membrane,
from which the natives make water
skins. The elephant yields large guam
titles of fat, used in cooking the ma
tives' sun dried biltong, or dried strips
of the elephants flesh, and also in the
preparation of vegetables. African ex-
plorers of the Caucasian race agree that
one part of the elephants carcass when
properly cooked, is a sucoulent dish
that will regale the most delicate taste.
This part, very strangely, is the first
joint of the leg below the knee, which
one would suppose to be the toughest
portion of the animal To prepare the
joint hole three feet deep is dug in
the earth, and the sides of it are baked
hard by means of large live Goals. Most
of the Goals are then taken out, and the
elephants foot is placed in the rude
oven. The hole is then filed with dirt,
tightly packed, and a blazing fire is
built ON top, which is kept replenished
for three hours. The foot is thus evenly
baked, and when done, instead of
strong, tough meat fiber, it is of a ge-
latinous consistency that may be eaten
with a spoon. Philadelphia Lancet.

Effect of Diet Upon History.

An eminent German scientist, refer
ring to human history, asserts that we
may trace the cause of many evils in
the dietetic character of the people.
The rejection of flesh would give a new
direction to human culture and indus
try. Agriculture would be greatly de-
veloped. The numerous diseases now
traceable to flesh diet would disap-
pear, and with them the manifold cruel
ties of the slaughter house. The expense
of living would be greatly reduced, and
thus the poorer classes would be ele-
waited.
