Il Paris. Sept. 21-The Journal Official
- To-day publishes the decree granting
pardon to Dreyfus. In a report pre-
4eding the decree the Marquis de Gal
&ifet, Minister Of War, points out that
&Oreytus has already undergone five
7kears' deportation, but that as the lazy
hoes not assimilate his deportation with
Hive years solitary confinement the
&prisoner would have to undergo ten
Years detention. The Minister also
balls attention to the fact that the
health Of the prisoner is seriously com>
promised, and that he would not be
= lble without great danger to undergo
y prolonged detention.
Il The report of the War Minister con-
&.ludes thus:
"The Government will not have met

PREHISTORIC MAIZE.
Seed Found In an Indian Mound
Planted In Egypt,

Some queer-look.ng corn having a mys-
FERROUS origin IL on exhibition IN this city
Two years ago some men near Fairfield.
H.. while excavating an old Indian mound,
found incased In a cemented stone Jar
several hundred grains of some vegetable
bearing striking resemblance to corn.
Although Il was at least several hundred
years old. the grain was in a perfect state
of preservation. One OF the men became
interested In the queer-looking cereal and
planted II on his farm near Fairfield Not
many OF the grains terminated but what
did proved a novelty both In color and in
size OF the stalks. The stalks grew coios-
sally large and tall. with thick leaves OF
dark green color. suggestive of the fossil
ferrous age.
The farmer seeded several acres to the
new cereal this year and was assoundc,' a,
the result. The yield was twice as hount.-
ful as the standard variety of corn grown
on the same ground. and the weight o.
the corn was nearly phenomenal. ono ear
weighing nearly twice as much as the av-
eraee ear OF white corn. throughout the
fall drought that prevailed over all OF
Egypt the leaves OF this new Indian maize
remained phenomenally green.
Some OF the corn was put on exhibition
in this city. where Il Is attracting great
attention II il Of n deep copper color, re-
semhl'ng the white variety when lightly
parched. There are sixteen rows of ker.
nels 10 each ear. averaging twenty-five
grains TO the row. The grains are unusual
~ large and OF a sweet palatabie flavor

Danish Campaign Against Rats.

We hea- that In Denmark a campaign
against rats is being prosecuted with vigor.

prehistoric method Of freeing the COM
