BERNARD SHAW FACES DEATH.
Author, Caught by Current While
Swimming, Almost browns.

London. Aug. 16.-George Bernard Shaw.
the playwright, has had a narrow escape
from drowning, according to the Daily
Mail.
He was swimming of Llanbedr. Mer-
ronethshire. with a friend, when the cur
rent carried them away from shore After
a long struggle they managed TO reach
a distant sand bank.
Mr.. Shaw was utterly exhausted when
the place Of safety was reached lie says
he had given up hope. and only kept on
swimming 20 postpone as long as possible
the unpleasautness Of drowning.
Best known as writer OF plays,
George Bernard Shaw has kept himself
in the limellght in the past few years by
appearing as a lecturer upon religion.
matrimony. Socialism. and other topics.
He Is a believer in Socialism, but says in
order to make it work men and women
must grow better than they are now, and
there must be perfect equality.
But Mr.. Shaw is best known for start
ling paradox. and even when preparing a
sketch for who's Who" the ruling pas
sion was so strong that under the head
OF favorite recreation he wrote anything
but sport" As a matter of fact. he has
a choice. and it is swimming. the very
exercise of which the foregoing dispatch
says nearly ended his life. Mr. Shaw is
fifty-One years old.

CORN SMUT.
Prof. A. N. Teneyck Explains Why Il
ls Useless to Treat the Seed.

Smut in corn 1t not reproduced from
year to year by spores which adhere
to the corn kernels, as is the case with
wheat and other small grains. The
corn plant is infected with smut above
the ground by means of spores or
sporidia, which are brought in con.
tact with the young growing parts of
the plant by the aid of the wind, rain
and dew. These sporidia are devel.
oped upon decaying organic matter in
the soil of the field, growing some
what after the manner of the yeast
fungus. The infection with smut may
take place quite early in the season:
forming mass of spores which ap.
pear as the smut balls on the corn.
stalks and leaves. These quickly dry
and the spores, blowing about, pro-
duce new infections, causing a second
growth and fruitage Of the fungus. 1t
appears that bruises on the stalks,
such as occur by detasseling, favor the
infection with smut.
You will thus see that 1t is useless
to treat the seed. There Is practically
no remedy for this disease other than
to pick the smut balls and burn them,
and this will not prevent the occur.
ence of smut in any field, since the
spores may be carried by the wind
from surrounding fields. However, 1t
may be possible to reduce the attacks
Of smut to some extent by picking and
burning the smut balls, since II little
smut is present in the soil where the
corn is planted the opportunity for in
fection is lessened. 1t is stated, also
that manure favors the development
of smut, since it offers an abundance
of favorable material upon which the
smut may grow and develop the spor.
ida which cause the first infection
of the corn plants.
