Divino Birds,

Water birds which are ordinarily
able to float high on the water can
also sink at will by expelling the air
which is inclosed within the film OF
feathers surrounding their bodies. thus
making them heavier than water. This
mechanical trick on the part Of div
ing birds is probably familiar to all
who have watched the kingfsher al
close quarters and have noted the sud
den contraction in the birds apparent
size as 1t takes the plunge. This Is
much more easily observed in the case
of the startling, which sometimes imi'
tates the kingfsher by plunging into
water for food. The shrinkage Of the
bird in apparent size is very apparent
when. after lowering above the sur
face II turns downward to dive.-Zo,

frugal meal a tall, gaunt youth OF
eighteen and an equally sallow and
gaunt girl of seventeen, both bare

pegs in the wall and prepared to go
out, whereupon the mother, taking her
pipe from between her teeth, said re.

A New Kind Of Corn From China.
A small lot Of shelled corn of a kind
that IS new to this country was sent
to the United States department Of
agriculture from Shanghai, China. in
1908 and tested the same season. It
proved to have qualities that may
make it valuable in breeding a corn
adapted 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 time Of tasseling. The
ears averaged FIVE and one-half inches
in length and four and one-third inches
in greatest circumference, with six
teen 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 opposite sides. Besides this. the
upper leaves stand erect instead Of
dropping. and the tips of the leaves
sci. The silks Of the ear are produced
at the point where the leaf blade is
joined to the leaf sheath.
This corn is very different from any
now produced in America. Its pecul-
lar 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 sheaf offer protected place in
which pollen can settle and fertilize
the silks before the latter are ever ex-
posed to the air. While this corn may
be OF little value ITSELF it Is likely that
by crossbreeding these desirab BILE quail
tiles can be impaired to a larger corn.
The discovery Of this peculiar corn
in China suggests anew the idea that.
although America is the original home
of corn. yet it may by some means
have been taken to the eastern hemi-
sphere long before the discovery of
America by Columbus. From descrip-
tons in Chinese literature corn is
known to have been established in
China within less than a century after
the voyage Of Columbus.

varieaated Alfaifas.

Within recent years alfalfa has
forged to the front as forage plant
in the United States with extraordi-
nary rapidity. In fact. it may now be
considered one Of our most important
crop plants. 1t is grown to some ex-
tent in all sections. but it is only in
the western half of the country that
it takes rank as leading forage crop
In most parts Of the west the ordinary
alfalfa appears to be well adapted to
prevailing conditions, but for localities
where drought resistance is important
and along our northern border. where
ability to stand extremes of cold is
essential, it has been found very de-
sirable to secure improved strains.
The species of alfalfa ordinarily
grown bears violet colored flowers.
and its seed pods are coiled into close
spirals. Persia was probably the orig
inal home Of this species. There is.
however. another species Of alfalfa
growing wild in Siberia and through
out the greater part Of Europe which
bears yellow flowers and whose seed
pods are sickle shaped The PROSTATE
stems and poor seed bearing qualities
Of this species are obstacles to its use
as forage plant. 1t is. however. very
drought resistant and is able to stand
very low temperature without winter
killing.
Where the yellow Powered alfalfa
grows alongside fields Of ordinary al
falfa there IS a tendency for the spe-
cies to cross and produce hybrids CON-
bining some Of the qualities Of both
species and bearing both violet and
yellow flowers. In this way have been
naturally produced variegated varie-
ties which are better adapted to stand
extremes OF cold than ordinary alfalfa.
