WHAT'S IN A CORN STALK.

t Can Be Turned Into Smokeless
 Powder, Dynamite, Etc.
 An immense cellulose plant is near. ing completion in Linden, Ind, and when it is in operation Indian corn pith, for ages considered worthless will be put on the market as a proteo- ton for battleships of all nations, as smokeless powder, dynamite and other high explosives, as fine art paper as yarnish, kodak films, car-boX packing, filler, waterproof cloth, lincleum, imi- tation silk, patent leather finish. face powder, silicate packing, ane a huD- dred more as novel and varied forms of which the farmer, who has been throwing stalks away as waste, never dreamed. The outer lining-that part which incloses the pith-will be made into flour as an adu,tel ant, as cattle feed, chicken fattener anE an egg producer. Part of it will be made up luto candy, some of it into coloring dyes, and still other parts of it will become a part of far more novel pro- sesseu. It will add thousands of dol lars ts the crop receipts of Indiana far ne1s, will consume only that which nas been waste, and will furnish n. ployment for skilled workers. The an. nual average corn area oi the United 5tates is Sot far from S0,000;000 acres Each acre yields on an average about 4,000 pounds of corn stalks, or a total of 6O,OO0,O00 tons. Oi this weight s5 per cent, or 136. .C0o, 900 tons, has value ns feed, but not oyer ten per cent of 1t Is actually fed. The other fifteen per tent of the total weight, or 24,000,000 tons, Is the pith of the stalk, which has been total waste. or even worse. This Indiana concern has a process which makes 1t possible for them to pay S3 ton for the stalks, and pro. duce a raw material which is worth seventeen cents pound, or $340 a ton. It is figured that if every ton of stalks in the United States could be 30 handled it would increase the value of each crop s4S0, 0,0o0,0o0

HILL WEARS HIS LUCKY GARuEAT
WHEN PLEADING AGAINST
UOLINEUX APPEAL.

''If the Appellate Court affirms the decision OF
the lower court in the Molneux case. said
lawyer of this city yesterday, 1ll bet Dave Hill
will attribute the verdict at least partly to an old
coat.
Il was in Buffalo when the argument in the case
was made, visiting the exposition, and dropped in
twice to hear 1ne words of the former Senator.

it is considered breach of etiquette to appear be-
fore the august body in short coat. matter how
fine it may be. But there he was, only in
short coat. but in short coat that old and
worn and that was in sad need of pressing.
Now, l not sufficiently acquainted with ex-
Senator Hill to ask him why he that coat. But
asked half dozen persons who knew him better
than ever will. and they knew about
il than l did. At last. however, l met old
friend of Hill. who, although he is neither law
yer nor politician. much of him in private.
And why do You think he said Mr. Hill
that coat? Because ne considers it lucky! He has
had II for years, his friend says, and believes IL
brings him good luck whenever he wears IT. He
would not tell me what circumstance created this
impression in Mr.. Hills mind, but said he knew
for fact that the ex-senator believed that he
stood a better chance TO win in whatever he n
dertook if he that old coat.
