Differs From American Corn.

This 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 and the appearance of the silks in
the angle where the leaf blade joins the
sheath offer a protected place in which
pollen can settle and fertiliZe the silks
before the latter are ever exposed to the
air. There is an excellent arrangement
for preventing the drying out of the silks
before pollination. While this corn may
be of little value itself, it is likely that,
b. cross-breeding, these desirable quail
ties can be impaired to a larger corn,
which will thus be better adapted to the
southwest.
The discovery of this peculiar corn in
China suggests anew the idea that. al
though America is the original home of
corn, yet it may by some means have
been take to the eastern hemisphere long
before the discovery of America by Co
lumbus. From descriptions in Chinese
literature corn is known to have been
century after the voyage of Columbus.
Bat this seems short time for any plant
to have become widely known and used.
Besides, this particular corn Is SO diff
ferent from anything in the new world
that it must have been developed in the
old world, and for that to happen in a
natural way would take a very long time.
These ideas are brought out in bulletin 161
Of the bureau of plant industry, which
gives also an account of some cross
breeding experiments with the new corn
and the changes which crossing produces
In the grains the same season.

Bantam Crows at Wedding.

One little American chicken and two
little Italian girls created near sensa-
ton at the wedding of Miss Florence
Allen to NJ. p. Davis. In Minneapolis,
Mimi. The little girls entered the church
In the midst of the ceremony and seated
themselves far to the rear. Presently,
preceded by a Tapping Of wings, a ban
tam rooster stuck it's head out from I'M
der one of the children's capes and
started to crow, the noise being heard
all over the church. The priest hestated
for a moment, and almost every one in
the room, including the bride and groom,
turned to see what was the matter. The
rooster did not finish its triumphant crow,
however. for the little girl grabbed 1t by
the neck and ran from the church.

TEST OF CHINESE CORN
SAMPLE SENT TO THIS COUN-
TRY FROM SHANGHAI.
Believed to Be Adapted to Hot and
Dry Climate Of the
Southwest.

a small lot of shelled corn. of kind
that is new to this country, was sent to
the United State Department of Agricul-
ture from Shanghai, China, in 1908. and
tested the same season. 1t proved to
have qualities that may make it valuable
in breeding a corn adapated to the hot
and dry conditions of the southwest. The
plants raised in the test averaged less
than six feet in height, with an average
Of twelve green leaves at the time Of
tasseling. The ears averaged five and a
half inches in length and four and third
inches in greatest circumference, with
sixteen to eighteen rows Of small grains.
On the upper part Of the plant the leaves
are all on one side Of the stalk, instead
of being arranged in two rows on oppo-
site sides. Besides this, the upper leaves
stand erect, instead of dropping, and the
tips of the leaves are therefore above the
top Of the tassel. The silks of the ear are
produced at the point where the leaf blade
is joined to the leaf sheath, and they ap-
pear before there is any Sign of an ear
except a slight SWellin1

Sir w. S. Gilbert, author of the Savoy

exhibition of SO much of the process as
was fit FOR presentation taking off coat
and waistcoat and putting them on again
as quickly as possible. while Paul, by a
peculiar trick of shifting his hands
and feet, managed to remain standing on
Sir Williams shoulders as the clothes
were assumed or discarded. When Paul
had accomplished this feat two or three
times he would look at his audience with,
a delightfully."- self-conscious air, and one
almost expected him to bow in acknOwl-
