Columbus in America maize WAS abso' lutely unknown to the inhabitants of tns Old World The few kernels of the new food brought to Queen Isabella by Got umbus were cassed as grain.

Value of Indian Corn

From the St Louis Republic,
 It is not an exaggeration to say that nothing has contributed more 10 the de- velopment of the American people than "Indian eorn.' Without 1t the native peoples of America could hardly have de- Veloped beyond the savage state, and the explorers from Europe would certainly have been unable to effect permanent settlement upon the American continent.
 Maize was the only health sustaining food the Indians could supply to the early New Englanders; it sustained the ad- senturers who traversed the valleys of the James, of the St. Johns and of the Mississippi. 1t provided the Spaniards with nourishment during the reckless march from Vera Cruz to the plateau Of Mexico, and this same maize was found by Pizarro's small army of conquerors when they subjugated the innumerable hosts of the Incas of Peru.

May 1s.-(speciai)-Dr. wsons Australian antarctic expedl- l n. whose ship. the Aurora. under the Ilnmand of Captain Davis. left Hobart the south polar regions last win |r. has already made discoveries of rh importance. Among other things, F. Mawson has: |Disproyed the existence of Clairie Ind.

 Lieutenant Ninnis, who is at the first

 In the mountainous regions of Bra gil the natives, owing to the excessive attitudes, never dig their well vertical ly, but obtain water by tunneling into the sides of the hills, frequently delv- ing a quarter of mile before the spring is reached. These subterranean passages, arched with smack of in- genuity, are exceedingly narrow, bare ly sufficient in height to admit, the slightly stooping figure of man. and are commonly known as tcavernas do poco I inspected such tunnel on the hermit's premises. but he told me- that he had not touched its waters for two years, as some of his enemies had placed poison in the well.
 Unclasping several of his brass bound vellum cases Horone. with intense sat- 1sfaetion. showed me his latest collec- tion of butterflies called in Portuguese borbolita: and such butterflies. There were butterflies as floating blossoms, butterflies as fragments of rainbows, butterflies as shreds of imprisoned glory, butterflies of transixed flame, butterflies of iridescent madreperola. butterflies as silken sails. butterflies of sun furnished gems and sum painted velvet, butterflies of diaphanous sheen, pale pellucidty and vivid transparency. Then he showed me cabinets of beetles, baratas, and humming birds. coils of tanned serpent skins, huge owl moths, bearing wings as large as the human hand. and files of desicated vampires. The barata is the pest of Brazil and have a specimen of one, the bill of which is three inches in length. These insects are sometimes so bad that at hotels infested by them I was frequent iy compelled to suspend my shoes from the gas bracket. in their voracious greed for leather they will ruin pair of shoes in a night. As they shun the light. guests frequently leave the gas burning all the night to avoid the pests.
 The barata is almost rivaled in de- structiveness by the great ant of that country, but the appetite of the latter insect runs toward wood. To avoid their destruction the telegraph poles and crossties of the railroads gre made of iron and some of the creatures are of such prodigious size that I have seen them arrayed fin the attire of ballet dancer with shoes. brides with veis and nuns with their stIffly starched caps.

PIONEER KLoNeiKsR
IS REAL DUKE

Letters from the lower river bring the news that Nat Lyons, for years prominent Klondiker, for the last two years advertising manager of the Iditarod Pioneer, has fallen heir to q title and a large estate in England, says the Dawson News, The title is said to descend from Nats brother. The Idltarod Pioneer tells of Nat pre-. paring to leave immediately for Eng land. but does net reveal the reason. Letters state he goes to get the wealth and label.
 Nat Lyons history in Kiondike is romatic. He came in '9S, toiing over the Chllcoot with the hardest and the toughest, eating beans and bacon for months straight, sleeping in the snow. mushing the numerous streams. prospecting and laborins at the end of the pick and shovel, and all the time maintaining the simple tenor of his ways that led none of his companions to suspect he was a duke or a lord
 Nat was a real miner He ran hun, dreds of feet of hard rock tunnels on the selwyn, and did much other work behind the pick. Three years ago he was prominent in Yukon politics, and took the stump for Bob Lowe, mak- ing speeches in some of the fiercest gatherings. and acquitting himself creditably. When not mining he was the mirror of fashion, and the Beau Brummel of Dawson. The hopefuIs of Klondike now know what a chance they missed. Never before the news came from Iditarod that Nat is a duke did his Klondike friends know why he always was so optimistic and always kept his mustache waxed. All now are looking for Nats London address.
