Ash and OIL In Corn.


Some recent Investigations at the
illinois station show that there is a
somewhat constant relation between
the amount Of ash in the corn kernel
and the oil. That is, that while the
proportion Of oil in the germ is very
large the proportion of ash Is also
very large. Thus In the hominy glu.
ten the proportion Of oil and ash are
quite large.
Thus in one sample Of corn analyzed
lib per cent Of all the oil was found
in the horny gluten and 7.96 Of all
the ash. In the germ Of the same
sample was found s3.09 per cent of all
the oil and 74.S7 per cent of all the
ash. In another sample 1929 per cent
of all the oil was in the horny gluten
and 13.49 per cent Of all the ash. In
the germ Of tn, samo sample
was s0.46 per cent Of all the oil and
6s.46 per cent OF all the ash. Thus the
germ and the horny gluten contain
more than three.fourths of all the oil
and ash In the corn kernel. The germ
alone contains about fourfifths Of all
the oil and twothirds OF all the ash.
though the germ is only one-tenth Of
the whole kernel.

CHEERING NEWS FROM
THE RAY DISTRICT
1 Rio Lime Cave Struck in One Of The
Ray & 0'Brien Levels.

Preparing foundation for the ma.
obinery en- route has been the pro
rram at the Ray & OBrien for the
mast week. The shaft is also being
nutin proper shape, so that when the
machinery is in place nothing will
delay vigorous development. Work
is now proceeding in the mine on the
9OO foot level and the ledge is improv,
inc both in value and width. Some
of the richest ore ever taken from the
property is now being extracted.
In the west 300 level a big lime cave
has been penetrated and ]. ]. Kar-
mine, the superintendent, says it
resembles the big mineral caves so
frequently encountered in the Rich,
mond mice at Eureka, and from
which so many millions of lead and
silver were taken.
On the Ray Tonopah the new hoist
is running satisfactorily and sinking
is being prosecuted in the shaft. At
depth of eighty-fve feet the shaft
is full of ledge matter and indications
point to the proximity of a big body
Of ore.
Assessment work is being done on
the Silver State, one Of the Ray-To
nopah group, and at a depth Of
twenty feet in the shaft a three foot
ledge has been opened up Fourteen
inches Of this forms the pay streak
and samples of it assay $50 in gold
and $40 in silver.
The hoist for the Ray Extension has
arrived and is now being put up, and
it is expected that within a few days
it will be put in commission. Work
is steadily progressing on the double
compartment shaft and it is now
down sixty feet. Frank Ickes has
charge OF the work.

settle this question with an AR ~ lnai-
uy' There rs hardly anything more
certain on this planet than that the
pope's Temporal power has departed for
ever
This is undoubtedly how It appears
to the human eye But In history il is
not always the expected that happens
Sometimes events take a course, saem-
ngly entirely different from what was
calculated Papacy Is an illustration OF
this At thc time Of the Reformation IL
would have been impossible TO foresee
the present influence Of Rome Then It
looked as il the organization had re-
ceiycd death wound" This Is now
fast healing. and why should It not
heal entirely
II is argued that this is the twentieth
century and that the spirit OF the age
Is opposed to any union Of church and
state. II Is thought II would give the
Civilized world, Catholic as well as
Protestant a shock to contemplate any
serious movement looking to restora-
ton Of temporal power to the papacy
But those who reason thus forget that
the age is everywhere tending toward
popular government. and that papacy,
when sufficiently strong IN any so gov
erned country, has the means at hand
to control every part Of the government
Rome openly claims the right 10 exer-
else influence upon the governments OF
nations. Is Il probable that this right

wherever 1t can be done by means Of
the ballot?
