A New Kind of Corn From China.

WHEN we reflect on the statement generally
made, and we presume truly, that the so-called
Irish potato is an American potato, originating
in Peru, and when discovered by the English
was no larger than an acorn, we are LED to ap-
~preciate the better what agriculture can do in
DEMONSTRATING natures wild plants. Our U. s.
Department of Agriculture, with the aid OF our
distinguished local agriculturist, DIR. 5. "A.
Knapp, secured from the Far East certain rice
now known in this state as Japan rice, which is
quite prolific in it's yield and apparently a very
excellent variety of rice, although rather too
long lived for our comparatively short season in
this state where September storms always
threaten serious damage to the rice.
We now find that the Department of Agri-
culture has brought from China a new variety
of corn which at first consideration would seem
to be of but little value to us, and yet it may be
of great alue in Western Kansas and in the
Southwestern states, below Kansas, where, in
the semi-arid sections it is difficult to produce
good crops of corn with our present varltles.
The corn now under consideration averaged less
than six feet in height on the test made by the
Department and had an average of twelve green
leaves at the time Of tasseling, the ears aver
aged $50 inches in length and 4. 80 inches
in cross circumference, with l6 to Is rows Of
small grains. This would seem very similar to
our small v~arities of pop corn, which, thus far,
we regard as not having much value, other than
as a CONNECTION. On the upper part Of the plant
the leaves are all on one side Of the stalk, in
stead of being arranged in two rows on oppo-
site sides. The upper leaves stand erect, in
stead of dropping and the tips of the leaves are
therefore above the tassal. The silks of the ear
are produced at the point where the leaf blade
is joined to the leaf sheath and they appear be.
fore there is any sign of ear, excepting a slight
swelling. The corn is very different from any
that is now produced in America.
Its peculiar value is that the erect arrange
ment of the leaves on one side of the stalk ant
the appearance of the silks in the angle wher,
the leaf blades join the sheath, offer a protected
place in which the pollen can settle and ferti
lie the latter before it is over exposed to tn,
air. This is an excellent arrangement to pre-
vent the drying out Of the silks before polina
ton. While this corn may be Of little valu
itself, it is likely that by cross breeding thes
desirable qualities can be impaired to a large
corn. which will thus be better adapted to tn
Southwest.
The discovery of this peculiar corn in Chin
suggests the idea that although America is tn

Southwest Pass the contemplated eX-
tension of the east %jetties was planned.
1t was found that the bottom Of the
river was too soft, all piiings
and mattresses sinking over forty
feet through the mud before a resting
place was found. Since according to
Col. Lansing H. Beach, Of the Federal
Engineers at New Orleans, the bed Of
the river has hardened considerably.
The extension will be done with mat

sending him to medical college to fit him for the practice
Of medicine. His studies in anatomy physiology in
hygiene and other coordinate branches of natural SCIENCE
together with the pharmacopa turned his mind in another
trend, and instead of becoming eminent physician
it had been intended for him. he plunged into deeper
and intricate study of natural history subject that
held him in spell of fascination To aid him in the
prosecution of his studies he undertook extensive travel
penetrating many different countries, finally coming to
America, where after year two in New York City he
turned westward and settled down in Hamilton Ohio
later taking up a residence in Indiana.
He first into prominent public notice by his scen
tifc contributions to the Popular Science Monthly and
in comparatively short space of time he began writing
for the American Freethought press His literary pro-
ducons found their way into the magazines and papers
of Germany and England, and in the course of time he
became prolific writer Among the books he had written
and published "Summerland Sketches Rambles in
