PLAN MEMORIAL TO
HENRY WARD BEECHER.
Sisters Of John Arbuokle to Build In
stitute--Wll Be Social Center.

A memorable institute and arcade In
honor of Henry Ward Beecher are to
be built beside Plymouth church,
Brooklyn, by the sisters Of the late
John ArbuCkle-Mrs. Jamison and Miss
Christine Arbuckle. For the work
100000 will he expended. In making
the gift the sisters are carrying out n
cherished plan Of Mr.. Arbuckle. He
died without leaving a will, but his
relatives are nevertheless DESTROYS of
putting his ideas into effect. The
plans which he had already made have
been revised by his nephews, william
A. Jamison and Charles Jamison.
Woodruff Leeming, president Of the
Brooklyn chapter Of the American In
stitute of Architects, is now at work on
the design.
The idea of the building is to provide
place which the $500 young men and
women who board in the Brooklyn
heights section may make the center
of their social life. Several years ago,
when Mr.. Arbuckle was asked to con-
tribute to the building of the Young
Women's Christian association, he re
fused. on the ground that he did not
believe in segregating the sexes. He
had already at that time begun to think
of the building which is now to become
a fact. Before his death he had Mr..
Leeming make a sketch of the proposed
structure, but he did not live to see
the scheme thoroughly developed.
The institute is to be part of the gen
eral BeeCher memorial plan. Mr.. Ar
buckle gave the first $4,000 toward the
fund for executing the larger plan and
helped raise the next 100000 The in
stitute will be provided with all the ap-
purtenances Of an up to date clubhouse.
with library. writing room, assembly
room, gymnasium, swimming pool and
lockers and classrooms in whuch the
writing, stenography, bookkeeping,
dressmaking, millinery, kindergarten
ing, civil government, etc.
The structure will stand in Hicks
street, fronting park which is now
being prepared for by the removal of
buhuihSS Pun ny IhS SOLllhltleS
in charge of carrying out the general
memorial plans. Above a mantelpiece
in the institutes reception room will be
inscribed the words: Presented to
Plymouth Church and the People Of
Brooklyn In Recognition of Henry
Ward Beecher and What He Did to
Save the Union" The arcade will ex-
tend from the institute to the church
building. According to the present
plans, the institute will be formally
dedicated June l, 1913.

Russian Professor Makes Interesting
Experiments on Animals.

The Russekow OF Slovo Of Moscow
has published an article by Professor
Kalin describing experiments made by
Professor Bachmetieff of Moscow uni
versity.
Professor Bachmetieff, his colleague
says has proved that animals may be
frozen alive and then resuscitated none
the worse Professor Bachmetieff calls
this process "anablosis." The first eX-
periments were made with cold blood
ed animals and insects. Butterflies
were inclosed In vessel containing
air at a temperature of minus % de-
grees c. The body fluids Immediately
froze hard, all vital actions ceased, and
In ordinary phraseology. the butterflies
were frozen to death"
Despite this Professor Bachmetieff
discovered that by slow and careful
warming they could be restored to life
at any time before the body tempera-
ture had fallen below minus 10 degrees
G. Tests showed that when the resus-
citation was begun at body a temper
ature Of minus AZ degrees G. recovery
was quickest and most complete.
The next stage was the repetition Of
this experiment on warm blooded ami
mails and on mammals. Two hundred
tests were made. Nearly all succeeded.

TheMorlds Champion Ear g

gan carefully breeding this new variety
of corn. For two years he planted two
rows of Reid's Yellow Dent. than two of
Alexander's Gold Standard, detassling
the Gold Standard. From the detasseled
rows he picked for seed only the ears
carrying the characteristics he wanted
to reproduce, planting these in breeding
plots and maintaining careful selection,
so that in nine years time he had devel-
oped well-settled type.
The Palm champion ear was the first
winner of the w. K. Kellogg National
Corn Trophy, handsome silver and
enamel cup made by Tiffany of New
York at a cost of 81, ZOO. Mr.. Kellogg,
as the originator and manufacturer of
Toasted Corn Flakes, naturally has
deep interest in the development of the
higher grades of corn, for the company
of which he is president, the Kellogg
Toasted Corn Flake Co., requires ten
thousand bushels of corn a day for the
making of its product. The Kellogg
trophy was offered to be awarded in an
annual competition for the best single ear
of corn until won twice by the same pro-
Queer. The fact that the Kellogg product
is made only from selected white corn,
while the winning ear was of a pronounced
yellow type, was peculiar feature.
The Kellogg trophy was won in 1916 at
Columbus, Ohio, by r. A. James of
Charleston, H., with magnificent ear
of Reds Yellow Dent. but not so per-
feet an ear as that which originally won
the trophy and which has become known
as 1.-The best ear of corn ever grown"

In the first place, Palm knows corn. If
there were no more proof Of this fact than
the bare story of the development and
discovery of the champion ear, it would
be enough. And in proof of this fact,
here is the story as he told it himself:
at was in November, 1910, and we
We're just harvesting our crop. The
weather had been good, but we were
little late with the harvest. The men
were going through the fields with the
wagon in the usual way gathering the
corn, and the harvest was a promising
one.
"We have a sort of corn show at my
farm all the time, and there is always an
award for exceptionally good ears of
corn-ears sufficiently true to type to
permit of their being exhibited. There
is small box on every corn wagon in
which the most perfect ears are thrown.
These, when properly selected, consti-
tute the seed corn, and among these
more perfect ears we occasionally find
an ear that we are willing to exhibit in
contest.
ION the day the champion ear was
found, | was at the house and at dinner
time one of the men brought it in and
laid it, with number of other ears, upon
the window sill in the we'll room for me
to take and put away in the seed house.
"'Well, said, do you think you've
got good ear there?'
at looks to me like good ear, he
said. what do you think of it?'
81 picked it up and looked it over.
'Well,' l said finally, L think it is the
most perfect ear of corn ever saw It's
good enough to win the W. K. Kellogg
81 900 trophy this year at Omaha
'And l was confident the moment l
saw it and looked it over, that held the
trophy winner in my hand. So much so
that when l left Omaha to exhibit the
ear, took it out of my grip and showed
it to the station agent with the words,
That's the ear I'm going to win the
$1,000 trophy with
So there's the story of the champion
ear as Palm told it himself. And on the
strength of it who will say that Fred c.
Palm doesn't justly merit the title, ''The
Man who Knows Corn?"
But that's not all of Palms story. He
tells it willingly, though modestly, for
he knows that his story whenever told is
source of great encouragement of the
thousands of farmers who never had
