Man who Named America,

Few Americans are aware of the fact
that the name of their continent Is due
TO a German scholar. In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla-
comylus, of st. Die, In the yosges.
edited n book called "Cosmographim
Introductio," in which he gave a trans
lation of Amerigo Vespucci's descrip-
ton of his voyages.
That was just the time when Ameri-
go's fame filled the world, while Column
bus disgrace overshadowed his merit.
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village in the Nosges
when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own
glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all,
not n part of the Indies, no name would
suit it better than that of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
so quickly was the proposition accepted
that. when later on the true discovercr
was known. the name was already
rooted too deeply in general use to
be abolished. and was even extended
to the north part of the continent, while
Hylacomylus had only meant it for
the present South America.-National
Geographic Magazine.

no person can be expected to catch
more than one at time.

There has been some dispute as to
the descent of the dog-whether it is
an improved progeny Of the wolf or a
distinct variety. That it is different
species is proved by the fact that the
dog and the wolf will mate and pro-
duce offspring. Nevertheless it is prob
able that the dog is merely descended
from the same original stock with the
wolf.

Improvement of Corn.

"Uncle Henry" Wallace,is deyoting a
good deal of space in his paper, Wal
laces Farmer to the Improvement of
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN.
ty years end more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop,
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof.
shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by number
of photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise. etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as ANYBODY
does but we miss our guess if he can
not learn a lot from these articles in
Wallaces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to
this office. 1t is handsomely printed on
paper of fine quality, filled with at.
tractive illustrations, and IN addition
to Its regular features, it's editorials by

In certain Lanarkshire village q
meeting was called to consider the adj
visibility of erecting bridge over a
creek which had been heretofore cross
ed by means of stepping stones.
The schoolmaster, who presided over
the meeting, warmly advocated the
erection of Il bridge in an eloquent
speech, when a local worthy, who was
something of a character and noted for
his outspokenness, got up and inter-
rupted:

1t is queer how ironclad is the hold
Of convention and conventional con-
tiderations. They have tighter grip
and a wider influence than law, rea-
son, sentiment or ethics itself. A wom-
an whose marriage may be termed
mediumly successful admitted can
didly not long ago that at the very last
moment never, never would she have
married her husband had it not been
for the thought of all the conventional
considerations involved.
ION the way to our wedding" said
the woman, 1--WE had the most awful
kind of n row that made me vow in,
wardly never, never to marry him.
Then at the thought of the ceremony
to come off at friends house, the
breakfast that, thanks to her, was pre-
pared and the invited guests, and how
they would all talk at any change of
plan, grit my teeth and went through
1t. But it was the thought of the con-
ventions alone that kept me up. No
other possible pressure could have in
duced me to marry him after such a
row as we had on our way to the we'd
ding."-New York Sun.
