Improvement Of Corn.

"Uncle Henry" Wallace, is devoting {
good deal of space in his paper Wal
laces' Farmer to the improvement o,
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to thu
fact that while the Iowa Farmer ha.
been improving his live stock for TWEEN
~ years and 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 q 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 lot from these articles in

ginian, pretty enough to break the
heart of an anchorite, for q kiss, but
she replied:
"Only Confederate lips can ever touch

one day when this man had been on
post the relief found his place vacant,
although there was no sign of blood
Shed or struggle. AS soon as this
was reported at the reserve squad
was sent out to look for him.
Inquiry was madetat every house on
the road, and ut one we learned from
the heartbreaking beauty just referred
to that he had stopped there two hours
before and announced that he was de-
sorting to the Confederacy.
Almost half n year afterward the
rear guard of one of'our scouting par
ties was harassed for the last two
miles of its return by shots from n
small mounted force, which scattered
and took to the woods whenever we
turned and attempted to charge them
Our commander arranged n strong am
buscade of the advance, with view
to capturing the entire party, and this
hidden force suddenly surrounded
them when they were directly in front
of the house in which the little beauty
lived. There We're only dozen of the
enemy, and they quickly saw that their
game was up. AS we approached them
they recognized the inevitable and
ceased lighting. but one man in gray
suddenly drew revolver, fired three
shots in rapid succession at the house,
then pointed the weapon ut his own
breast, firedand fell from his saddle. We
were upon them in a moment, and un-
der the cap of the man upon the ground
we saw the face of our handsome de-
serter. He gasped before he died that
he was as loyal as ever. He had de-
serted in wild desire to kiss that girl.
Now, seeing her at the window, hehad
fired to kill her and hoped he had sue
ceeded. Then he had killed himself

Much has been said about electricity

trely overlooked-viz, the almost re-
sistless force of wind when moving
with high velocity. When the veloc-
ity is but fifty miles an hour, the pres.
sure of air i'll motion is equal to twelve
pounds TO the square foot, and whep
this velocity rises to hundred miles
per hour its force rises to the equivalent
of 49, pounds to the square foot, the
augmentation of force being always
proportional to the square of the We.
locity.
1t needs no further elaboration or
application of this statement to con-
vey to the intelligent reader an idea
OF the monstrous mechanical force
which such rapid travelling mass of
AIR must have, a power great enough
to tear down any structure that has
vet been built by man or to uproot
whole forests of the largest trees now
growing on the surface of the earth.

a large steamer was once wrecked
because one of the sailors was named
West. The vessel was outward bound
from Rotterdam, and the sailor was on
deck polishing some brasswork. Sud
denly the captain called him and told
him 10 80 below. The second officer on
the bridge heard the captain call out
the mans name and thought it was an
order to change the course of the vessel
to west He did so, and the result was
that the ship ran on to dangerous
shoal. That name cost the owners of
the vessel the sum of 100000.
During the Afghan war of 1870 n
small British detachment gained vic.
tory over large body of the enemy by
a mistaken order. A private named
Vance, who had distinguished himself
by several acts of bravery, was a great
favorite with one of the officers, and
during ssirmish the officer wanted

in command CT another detachment,
The man was only few yards away,
and he called out, "vance!" at the top

A number of Partisan financiers were

able sum of money by swindler who
relied for the success of his scheme en-
tirely upon the peculiar properties of
1odide of starch. Posing as Il man of
considerable wealth, whose money was
tied up In such n manner that he could
not realize without heavy losses and
pretending to have the option of some
valuable concessions in China, he OBJ
tanned various large amounts of money
in exchange for bills dated to stand
for three months.
NO one for moment suspected that
there was anything in the least degree
shady about the man or his transac-
tons, ana when he made it public that
he had been successful in selling his
Chinese concession at a large profit his
creditors felt absolutely certain that
he would meet his bills.
To their immense surprise, however,
when they came to look through their
papers to find the bills they only found
bills with blank spaces in the places
where the swindlers name should have
been and had actually been. They
clamored round him for an explanation
of the strange affair, but lie denied that
he had ever given any of them bills and
defed them to sue him for repayment
OF the loans. and the fact that the bills
We're devoid Of the swindler's sigma
ture rendered them absolutely worth
less.
The matter was put into the hands Of
the police, who were able to discover
that in signing the bills the man had
used q solution of iodide of starch,
which, when first used for writing, an.
pears much the same as ordinary ink,
but completely disappears in the course
Of few weeks, and, although traces
Of the chemical may subsequently be
discovered, nothing can make the writ
ing show up again. Finding that his
victims had discovered his method, the
schemer decamped, despite the fact
that the chances of the police obtain
ing conviction against him We're very
remote indeed.

1t was great fun for me to be on
post on a prominent road at daybreak,
for the chances were that n large de-
tachment Of fugitive slaves would
come in. How these people managed
to travel 80 or 40 miles without being
seen and bounded back by the enc
my's scouts never could understand,
for instead of coming singly they would
travel in large bodies, all the men, wo-
men .and children leaving n plantation
together and not separating during the
trip. Any one would imagine they
would be discovered, for they always
dressed In their best when they started
toward US, and the colors of some of
their clothing were rs startling as the
plumage of tropical bird. besides be-
Ing more 'variegated, but they never
complained of having been annoyed
while en- route. Another mystery was
their knowledge as to where to find
our lines and just where to halt to
wait for daylight. They were not al
ways received in the spirit of the eman-
cipation proclamation. Some of our
fellows were in mortal fear of .'nigger
equality" 30 they would order the fu-
gitives to return to their masters.
"Yas'r." would be the usual reply,
and the entire gang would retrace their
steps until they reached a friendly
screen of trees. No sooner would the
man on post be changed than the crowd
would come plodding back. AS one old
leader told me one day:
"We'se ben tole ter keep a-tryin,
cause some sojer or udder would let
us In some time or udder."
There was nothing funny about these
G. rcd people unless it was their ex-

they were on freedoms soil. They sell

could get as much response from IN

them. They apparently knew just
where to come and just what to ex-
pect. In fact, afterward learned from

One of the odd things the visitor to
Burma will notice is the large number
OF bells about the pagodas. These bells
are usually hung on sacred posts a few
feet above the ground.
They are sweet toned, as all Burmese
bells are. but they are not furnished
with tongues. The worshiper who
comes to pray before the pagoda
strikes one of these bells with wood
en- mallet. This is to attract the atten.
ton of the god.
