country some three thousand Yeas ago
and found, among other things, corn in
jars Theoretically sealed. DR.. Cullen, a
prominent scientist of Anderson, OBJ
tanned some of the corn and planted it,,
and was surprised to see it grow. This
not only to him proved it's longevity,
but by it's wonderful growth in compar-
ison with other corn, it also proved
that corn is degenerating.
This statement was shown to Profess
sor L. III. Pammel, in charge of the de-
partment of botany in the Iowa State
college, and botanist for the govern
ment experiment station here. In dis
cussing 1t he says:
1.-THE statement is frequently made in
the popular press that seeds have re-
tanned their vitality for long time
Thus it is stated that wheat under
some conditions has preserved its vital
ity FOR fifty or one hundred years. 1t
has frequently been stated that wheat
taken from Egyptian monuments ger
minated, but In not single case is this
termination authenticated. Not a sim
gle grain taken from an ancient Egyp-
tian sarcophagus and sown by various
nate, and the conditions for preserving
the seed in these Egyptian monuments
is far better than in the soil They are
protected from the air and variations
of temperature. The experiment which
has been most talked of is that of the
Count Of Sternberg al Prague. He had
received the grains from a trustworthy
traveller, who told him that they were
taken from a sarcophagus. 1t is said
that two of these seeds terminated, but
1t Is a well known fact that impostures
are perpetrated by the people who dis
pose Of these seeds. In some cases they
have even stripped corn, or maize, into
these Saroophagi.
Many experiments have been made,
not only in this country, but in Europe,
to determine the vitality of various
grain seeds Thus. barley retains its
vitality better than any other cereal,
and this is said to retain its vitality
from eight to ten years. In the case of
wheat ninety to one hundred per cent.
terminates in from one to four years,
in five to seven years, eighty-five to
eighty-Seven per cent. In the case or
rye the percentage of termination in
five years dropped to fifty-five per
cent. in seven years, thrty-six per
cent; nine years, thirteen per cent. In
the case of corn, I made some expert
ments few years ago to determine the
vitality and found that corn which was
kept in tightly closed vessels at the age
of twenty years had lost all it's power
Of termination. Experiments also in
dioata that norp lrapt ayau q few yaars
became largely deteriorated and lost
much of its power of termination.
Even grass seeds which have been bur-
led at some depths in the soil and in
vessels tightly sealed failed to germi-
nate after a dozen or fifteen years.

TRUST CApITdL.

The United States Investor has re-
vised and perfected its list of trusts
formed since January l. 1898, and prints
full list of them. The aggregate cap
italization is sS,13s, 642,SS2, of which
amount s1,S71, 3d. 900 is preferred stock
and $6,267, 72S,9S2 is common stock. The
Investor expresses the belief that the
common stock can all be regarded as
water"
There isn't as much water in the
trusts as there was, but there is enough
left to dampen revival of the enthu-
siasm which prevailed before the dam
gave way 1t will not be easy to start
and carry on new boom in the trust
stocks soon and possibly there will new
err be another boom in some of them
But they We're gay while they flourish
ed, and they gave the gamblers quick
action on their bets. There wasn't
money enough to carry on the game,
and 1t had to stop.

THORITE.

| Lyddite has spoken for itself in the
war in South Africa, and it has spoken
very effectively. There is no doubt that
| England has a powerful helper In this
explosive. But If the truth be told the
United States hasn't any cause to wor-
ry about lyddite while it has thorte.
Thorite is said to be the very best war
compound yet discovered. Modern en-
gines of war demand a shell of prodig-
ious explosive power, with capacity
for two things-f1rst, being projected
from high-power gun without danger
of explosion from the shock in the
breech Of the weapon, and second, hit
ting its mark without exploding from
the force of the impact, but at any de-
sired time thereafter. DR.. Hiram p.
futile, the inventor, says thorite more
than fulfills these requirements. Thorite
shells cannot possibly explode save by
the aid of certain time fuse or detona-
tor devised by the inventor. Indeed,
this was the all-lmpOrtant TACT brought
out by the tests. In other words, it can
be hammered and battered around dur
ing transportation and subjected to va
rious temperatures. loaded in either
cans or shells. No accident can occur
unless the detonator is attached and set.
The new explosive, Furthermore, needs
no particular make of SHE'LL but can
be used in any. Another advantage is
that its power does not weaken during
long storage. Unlike any other high
explosive, it will last for an indefinite
period.
During the war with Spain the United
States discovered that it wasn't even
UP to that poor country in the matter
of smokeless powder. 1t is cheering to
be told now that we have the very best
thing there is in thorite.

Then the bodice will have very little
trimming, and even II it is not pleated
really or in effect, it's scheme Of adorn-
ment Is usually simple. The gown pic
tured is typical in these respects. 1t
was pastel green cashmere, the skirt
box pleated all around and stitched in
front to the knees. The bodice was laid
In side pleats and fastened with white
silk cord and loops Yoke and collar
We're ivory white lace and the belt was
pastel green velvet. 1t won't do to take
much comfort in the comparative sim
plicity of these gowns If fashionable
women take up their fashions cordially
they'll grow fanciful quickly, be sure
o. it.
Stock collars cleverly made of a fold
ed square of cashmere stamped silk
have two points rising against the
cheeks, while the other two tie togeth-
er under the chin. Where the square
has solid center and a deep Persian
border, the bulk or band of de collar
shows the solid color, the ,pints and
tie the Persian. Stocks of this sort are
shown at the swell shops and have not
yet reached the stores patronized by the
millions They'll be there soon, though
and the difference in price viii! then
fully recompense most women for wait
ing Shaped bands of stitched taffeta,
some wired to stand high, and finished
by butterfly tie to match are no longer
new, but when made unlined and of
wash taffeta they are pretty and ser
viceable. FLERETTE

NYtS VAR lord,

Not long ago there was peace con-
ference at the Hague. Now England is
in serious war, France Is increasing
her navy and Germany is also planning
for big navy. Gefmanys war lord
yesterday made a speech at Berlin
which showed the peaceful spirit that
animates him at the beginning of the
Happy New Year. He glorified the
army and said he hoped to be enabled,
with a firm trust in the guidance of
God, to prove the truth of the saying
of Frederick William the First: ''When
one in this world wants to decide some
thing with the pen he does not do it
unless supported by the strength Of the
sword" He also said he was going to
make the navy as powerful as the
army.
The war lord seems to know what he
wants, and his talk is large But 1t lost
some of it's impressiveness when he
called yesterday 1.-THE first day Of the
new century, He bit off more than he
could chew when he said that.

Il have seen thousands of persons die
under all sorts Of circumstances, and
never yet have l seen one display the
slightest fear of death" This remark
able statement was made the other day
by physician who has practised many
years in Philadelphia, and who has seen
a great deal of hospital service
1T is popular fallacy," he went on,
'to imagine a deathbed scene is, ever
terrible, other than as parting between
loved ones. The fear of the unknown
is never present at the last. Even amid
ignorance and vice 7 have never expert
enced such scenes as a novelist, who
strives after realism, will sometimes
picture.
when patient is told that he can
not recover and the end Is near, he
invariably seems resigned to his fate,
and his only thought seems to be OF
those who are to be left behind. This
is true alike Of men and women.
Those who become hystercal and de-
clare they are not fit to die are the ones
who are not as i'll as they think they
are. They always get well.
"A psychological reason? O, don't
know that there is any. It's just hui
man trait. "--Philadelphia Record.
