Some time ago there was a wonder

about certain grains Of ancient Egypt

Germany and had come to life.
The grains. they said. had been found
in an Egyptian sarcophasus and had
been planted by q Dresden florist some

entists. who did not suppose that there
was any life ia grains which were from
4.000 to 5000 years. old The corn
however. was certainly growing. and
even the most incredulous among them
soon became convinced that grains
have a lease of life to which there IS
practically no limit.
Alas, A boy employed by the Dres-
den florist has now confessed that he
planted some other grains in the same
place where his master had planted the
Egyptian ones. and only few hours
after the florist completed his work.
This was sad news for the scientists
and for the numerous journalists who
had written enthusiastically about the
miraculous qualities Of the ancieu-
grains Of corn.
