One.Sided Buildings.

"A good many people find fault with
some of the new buildings we are put
ting up. Oh the ground that they are
one-sided." said one Of the superintend-
ents employed by large construction
company. by this 1t is meant that
they appear architecturally incomplete.
Main entrances are placed at appar-
emily inconvenient corners. and large
windows and prominent decorations
that rightfully belong in certain sec
tions. to insure a harmonious whole,
are now sadly out Of place. This lack
of uniformity is due to the fact that
many buildings in course Of construc-
tion are not being put up in their en-
tirety. In may cases 1t has been found
impracticahle to break the lease for
houses on adjoining property which
was meant 10 be incorporated into the
area of the new building, consequently
the work progresses in sections. When
the leases expire and the rest of the
ground is available. these buildings
will present a homogeneous 'front.'

Big Ears of Corn.

The Kansas City Star opened its col
umns recently to a discussion concern
ing the size of the big ears of corn
raised in Kansas and Missouri last
summer. There was hardly farmer
in either State that did not have 4
story to tell. Ears Of corn with 100
and 1900 grains in them seem to have
been matters of common occurrence.
Others went as high as 1900 and 1900.
Ed Johnson of kackley. Kan. for ex-
ample, Went into one of his fields one
day and picked at random four ears.
which averaged 1922 grains each. A
German. of Hartford. Kan, found an
ear which was only twelve inches long.
but had twenty-sia rows Of grains,
making 14OS all told. L. T. Monnot, of
Oklahoma. reported an ear Of corn
twelve inches in length and eleven
in circumference. But all these are
beaten by one ear which was raised
by G.. H. Cleveland Of Tulsa 1. r.. in
1901. This ear had thirty rows of
grains around 1t and iifty-six grains
lengthwise The total number Of
grains on the cob was 1850. This il 4

been paid, in the sum Of $1,000. to the
widow Of Robert Bowen, q street car
employe, who was killed by accident
while at work. The law is now per-
missive. but may be made compulsory.
1t allows any employer to contribute
one-half Of fund Of sixty cents per
quarter for euch of it's employees. the
hands paying the other half. The
cost to the employer of accident insur-
ance is thus $12O per annum for each
man and $120 to each employe him

pany. however, pays the entire $40
for each Of its 5000 employees, so that
Mrs. Bowen gets her premium without
cost or risk. as will the heirs Of any
other victim Of an accident. So far as
it is accepted the benefits are universal
and automatic. 1t will be interesting

A new apparatus has been invented
for killing flies by electricity. 1t looks
somewhat like a gridiron. placed ver-
tically, with a horizontal shelf hang

Of wires which are connected with an
electric battery. and the wires are so
close together that a fly alighting can
hardly fail to stand upon at least two
Of them at once. The wires being al

The Insurance Press recently tried
to find out how many women are act

companies in the United States. The
returns from State officials are far
from complete, but Mt first glance they
seem to indicate that between 500 and
1000 women are working as insurance
agents. No figures are given for New

of the other larger States. so that the
figures for the big cities might increase

A moderate amount of work is good for a

not be claimed that the farmer boys in our
