ELY ORE SHIPMENTS.

Shipping records at Ely, Nevada,
during the last week have attained
the highest daily average in the his
tory of the camp. A hundred cars a
day of over 5000 tons of ore are now
going down the ore line to the con-
centrator. These shipments repre-
senting five trains, are handled by
two crews, and the efficiency and
economy of transportation thus
demonstrated over the ore line is be-
ing commented on both at home and
abroad as adding Importantly to the
remarkable record for low costs and
big results in all divisions which the
camp has made since the beginning
of production year ago.

In our freshman year at Cornell we all

They have genius for mechanics and
applied electricity, and the ingenuity
of their contrivances was really mar

In his sophomore year poor Latham s
left arm was bitten off above the elbow.
Leeds came to his rescue and devised an
arm of steel and cork, with a black gloved
hand. SO intricate in its mechanism yet
simple in action that good hearted La

point the finger of scorn.

Corn Breeding.

The Illinois experiment station has
gust published the results Of its ef
forts to breed corn for high and low
protein content and for high and low
oil content. Ten generations Of corn
have been bred for these different pur-
poses by selection Of seed having the
desired qualities. In the effort to in
crease the protein content the average
bas been changed from 1892 per cent
10 1926 per cent in the effort to de-
crease It from 1892 per cent to S64
per cent. Individual ears have been
found which contain as high as 177'
per cent Of protein and as low as 613
per cent. as high as $50 per cent Of
Oh and as low as 1.60 per cent. But
the high protein corn has been in ev-
cry case less productive than any Of
the other three and in some cases de
cidedly So 1t has also been less pro
.ductive as a rule than corn grown for
no particular purpose-just corn. The
conclusion Is reached from some plots
mat, while this continued selection for
q single purpose to the neglect Of all
other considerations has resulted in
lower yields. yet this is not a neces-
sary result. In some cases high pro
teln corn has yielded well as compar-
81 with standard varieties bred for no
particular purpose.
