Where Corn Grows.

The Kansas corn stories are
growing more and more imposing,
Here is the latest: "a sad bone
coming was that Mrs. Jerry Judd,
the wife prosperous farmer in
Gentry county. near Albany. The
old farm produced a wonderful
corn crop this year. and Mr.. Judd
had selected the largest ear in his
fields to show his wife who had
been visiting her mother in Albany.
AS she returned home Mr.. Judd
came out on the front porch with
the great ear of corn on his shout
der. The porch broke down be-
meath the weight and the ear of
corn fell across Mr.. Judd's legs
breaking both of them above the
knees"

A Tramp of the Sea.

The shark known as the elephant,
bone and basking shark roams near
ly all temperate seas. Its mouth is
comparatively small and bears six
or seven rows of very small teeth,
perhaps 90 in row. The gill open
ipgs are enormous, the gill rakers
long, close together and slender, re-
calling whalebone; hence the name
whale shark. The skin is rough,
covered with short spines. Where
these monsters live in winter is not
known, but doubtless they roam the
temperate and semitropic seas. In
summer they are gregarious and are
seen in schools lying on the surface
seemingly asleep. They reach the
New England coast in June and
July, the Hebrides and the Firth of
Clyde in June and leave in July. On
the Pacific coast they are found off
Monterey bay in July, large schools
being seen on the surface, when
they can readily be approached

Worship of weIIs.

Worship of wells was everywhere
common in England and Ireland
before the days of Christianity.
Even yet, in spite of the canons of
St. Anselm, issued in 1902 against
well worship, relics of it are found
in some English and Irish neighbor-
hoods. The third Sunday in May
is known as Sugar and Water Sun
day, it having been the custom for
many centuries in the north of Eng
land to meet on that day at the wells
in the neighborhood to drink sugar
and water, ceremony at which the
village girls were supposed to be the
hostesses of the young men. When
this had been done, the party gen
orally went to the nearest inn, where
the young men returned the hospi-
tality they had received with cakes,
ale and punch.

After go Years Turtle
Came Back.

A singular discovery was recent
Iy made by Coleman Lassing, son
of DIR. Lassing. of Boone county,
Ky. In 1s41 DR.. Lassing. who
was a lover of nature from boy
hood. found turtle on the farm of
his father. and in boyish mood
caught it and on the shell out his
initials. n. O.L," and the year.
which was 1871. The turtle was
then turned loose.
Many years passed and a son of,
the DOCTOR, walking in the woods
recently, saw turtle which had
evidently just died. Looking at it
closely he found that there were
letters on the shell, and they proved
to be those of his father.
Taking mp the shell, which still
held portions of flesh, showing
that the animal had recently died,
he took it to his father, who re-
called the incident. The shell was
polished. and is now kept as a
relic.

Baltimore & Ohio Terminal al
Twenty-third Street,
New York.

All passen er trains of the B. g. o.
Railroad to and from New York City
now have direct ferry connection
with 23rd Street Terminal, in addi-
ton to Liberty Street; the South Fer
ry Terminal having been discontinued
Twenty third Street is the most pop
ular terminal of the great metropolis
because of it's convenience to the ho-
tel, theatre and shopping district In
the recent remodeling of the terminal
building a glass rooted canopy was
constructed fifty feet wide, under
which the cross-town cars of I4th, % d.
18th and 29th Street lines pass, so that
passengers are protected from the
weather leaving the ferry house, and
also avoid the annoyance of street
traffic.
All baggage destined to New York
City will be delivered to 23rd Street
unless distinctly marked Liberty
Street" or otherwise.
A complete electric cab service has
also been established for the trans
portation of passengers and baggage
at very reasonable rates.
The Importance of 23rd Street is
most graphically brought to attention
in the August number of the ''Book
of Royal Blue" published by the Pass
enger Department of the Baltimore

Shade, just above Gallipolis, age
40 years, who was employed by the
Hooking Valley Railway Co, on

company with the other mbers
of the crew he was engaged at work
in the pit when a large mass of
sand and gravel fell on him. He
was completely buried and before
his fellow-workmen could remove
the volume of dirt. he had expired
He leaves a wife and two children

THE FIRST GOLF BALLS.
They Were Made of Bulls Hide Stuffed
With Feathers.

The first golf balls were made of
leather of untanned BULBS hide, two
round pieces forming the ends and
piece for the middle. These pieces
were softened, shaped and firmly
sewed together, a small hole being
left through which the feathers
might afterward be inserted.
Before stuffing the leather sphere
was turned outside in-an operation
not without its difficulties that
the seams would be on the inside.
The skin was then placed in a
cup shaped stand, the worker hav-
ing the feathers in an apron before
him, and the stufiing was done with
a steel rod.
This was very hard work, as. may
be imagined. The aperture was then
closed, the seam sewed up, and the
only seam showing was this tiny
one.
But the life of each ball was short.
The seams soon opened, and the
feathers protruded. On wet day
the water would be seen driven off
in shower every time the ball was
struck.
And the moisture added to its
weight, so that ball that started
as twenty-eight would soon weigh
a pound. If the match was an i'm
portant one new ball must be put
down at each hole.
With these disadvantages one can
see that new kind of ball was much
needed and made many coay crts to
the game.
Although the gutta percha ball
used on the links is seemingly per-
feet, the inventor is busy trying to
make one even better. The ball
made of this material has been in
use since 1913.
A golfer of that period expert
mented with piece of india rubber
and succeeded in fashioning it into
shape. But when it was put into
use it was found that it was not
success.
1t would leave the club all right,
but after gong a short distance it
would duck down, SO its use was
abandoned.
The caddies amused themselves
with the discarded invention until
it was pretty well nicked up. To
the surprise of everybody the ball,
with the addition of the cuts, could
sail through the air much better
than the old one.
The next mold was nicked to give
the gutta percha sphere the same
lines, and this, with one improve
ment after another, is the ball in
use today.-New York journal.

The Barn Owl.

The barn owl richly deserves a
conspicuous place in the gallery of
feathered criminals. During the
daytime he hides himself in the
darkest place to be found, but when
the sun has set he spruces up and
sets out on a murderous expedi-
ton. The barn owl strikes terror
into the ranks of rats and takes a
keen delight in torturing his vic
Tins. His one idea of a comfort
able home is realized in a gloomy
knot hole of an old tree, and the
only occasion on which he is known
to display any temper is when the
young are disturbed. If it were not
for killing rats that he does not in
tend to eat, the barn owl could be
classed as very mild and inoffen
sive petty criminal, for he never at
tacks poultry or birds.-London

The Stories Of The Beau sanoy and ti.e
koieinoor

The Stories Of the Beau sancy and the
kohinoor-
The famous Beau Sancy diamond
was lost by Charles the Bold on the
battlefield of Granson, March 8,
1476. A Swiss soldier sold it for a
form to some person unknown. A
century afterward the king of Por-
tugal pledged it to the Seignenr de
Sancy of France for loan. In 1889
the latter sent it to Henry of Ma
varre. Thieves killed the messen-
ger, but Sancy exhumed the body
and found his diamond again in the
servants stomach. We next hear of
this gem shining ON the breast of
Queen Elizabeth. James II. then.
carried it off and sold it to Louis
XIV. Robbers In 1892 looted the
royal treasury, and it did not appear
again until bought by the mahara-
jah of Puttiola, who owns it now.
The Kohinoor, an English crown
jewel, valued in the year 1926 cat
half the daily expense of the whole
world" is linked with uncommon
horrors. In order to discover its
hiding place half dozen shahs were
successfully blinded. The head of
one was shaved and circled with a
ring of paste, in which they poured
boiling oil. Even then he would not
tell. Other historic stones, the Re
gent, the Piggott, the 0rloff, the
Empress Eugene, the Pasha, recall
adventures similarly grewsome, and
SO in less degree could many a one
or two karat stone worn today were
its narrative recorded.
The romance of diamonds grips
one the moment he lands In South
Africa. The first notable pointed
out to me at Johannesburg several
years ago was big man with a
black mustache, from whose shirt
bosom radiated twenty karat gem.
He picked it up in Kimberly, fed it,
concealed in hay, to horse, ripped
the animal open just over the Trans
vaal border and, there being no cx-
tradition treaty between Transvaal
and Cape Colony, wore the stone
without fear of punishment. AT the
same time all South Africa was COM
menting on the foolhardiness of a
young Englishman who hid about
Els, 900 worth of diamonds in the
barrel of his shotgun. He got aboard
ship safely, and the inspectors were
ready to go ashore when out of mere
bravado he said to one, laughing,
'sWhy don't you examine my gun ?"
The inspector. stupidity serious, took
him at his word, and the man is
now helping to build drydocks along
with others in the chain gang Of
Breakwater prison. - Public Opin-
