CORN LESSONS FOR
COUNTRY SCHOOLS

For the benefit OF children In rural
schools suggestions for series OF
lessons on corn are about to be issued
by the agricultural department. The
average production per acre of corn IN
the United States is still below rs
bushels per acre despite the fact that
in almost every section Of the country
yields of more than 100 bushels have
tten obtained. The difference indi'
Gates in a measure the value of proper
instruction In growing corn. The
spread of boys corn clubs all over the
country has also emphasized the need
of corn study in rural schools.
The forthcoming bulletin contains
outlines of 12 lessons covering such
important points as the different kinds
of corn, ways of Judging corn, seed,
corn crop rotation, best of fertilizers,
proper cultivation, and the food value
of the crop. Suggestions for the prop
er observance of corn day have re-
ceived consideration. Rural-school
teachers, especially in the great corn
growing states, will find the bulletin
a valuable aid In the work of stimulat-
ing in their charges healthy interest
in sound agriculture.
The bulletin will be published under
the title of Farmers Bulletin No. 6i7

will be sent free as long as the supply
lasts.

A FAITHFUL TRAITOR

Theodore is still In evidence. lie IL
talking tariff nowadays. Strange. Is
IL not, that during the seven years he
was president he never thought TO
make u suggestion on that subject?
lie Is exceedingly solicitous about
female suffrage. Queer, is II not. that
during the seven years he was presi-
dent he was never interested, except 10
oppose that vital right due women.
lie is solicitous about the welfare
OF the poor working classes. How late
In his life II was before he began TO
be anxious on their account.
He is savage on the Democracy and
their management of public affairs.
What does the good book say about
"thankless child" being sharper than
a "serpents tooth?"
But Theodore knows that when
Democrats are on top they never
scratch a ticket and that all he can
draw to himself will be Republicans;
then why should he not denounce the
Democrats?
Moreover, he knows that every one
so drawn gives the Democrats half a
vote.
Theodore continues to earn a large
reward from the Democratic party,

POINT FOR THE SCIENTIST
as to Whether There ls Snow
on Mars.

The polar caps on the Marian sur
responds with the snow-covered re-
gions Of our own world, and on the
assumption that the atmosphere is
similar In composition to ours, we
would seem to be quite safe In the
Inference that these patches increas-
ing and diminishing as they do I'M
der decreasing and increasing solar
heat are really snow as we know It.
A difficulty in such an assumption is
Of course the matter of temperature
Of which, however, we have no GER
tain knowledge. On the one hand,
we know that the planets distance
from the sun is such that the inten-
sity Of solar radiation on its surface
is slightly less than one-haH as great
as with US. Then, too, the low den
sity of the atmosphere Of Mars would
assist In keeping down the tempera-
ture-probably to q point far below
the freezing point Of water. But,
on the other hand, the surface con-
ditions as we see them in our tele-
scopes would seem to leave no doubt
that the polar caps actually melt In
the Marian summer sending foods
Of water through channels-natural
or artif1cial-and causing growth Of
vegetation along their banks. We
are therefore forced to one Of two
conclusions, either that the planet has
sources of heat-internal or external
which are not yet explained, or
that the polar "snow is composed Of
something else than frozen water"

PLEA FOR NATURAL STYLE
Beauty and Harmony Of Limo In Amer.
Dean clties lie Easlly Within
Reach.

We anchored IN the harbor Of Fayal,
and from the ship considered the
beautiful city. One has only to glance
at such picture, writes Albert Bige-
low Paine in the Century, to realize
the unsightliness of the average Amer
lean city Of the same size, the cheap
tawdriness Of much Of our residential
architecture, due to the continual
striving after something new and fan
cy, ranging through the periods Of
queens and presidents, who could be
remembered In better and more en-
during ways.
We have no national home architec-
ture, and we never shall have until we
cease trailing after this fashion and
that, instead Of building house the
one idea OF which is suitability to our
needs and conditions. We have done
this in our business architecture, and
the steel-framed skyscraping structure
that has resulted Is one Of the most
praiseworthy and beautiful works of
man.
Our greater cities are becoming
cities Of wonderful towers, campaniles
which nothing in the older nations can
surpass. Manhattan, approached from
the sea, presents vision Of supreme
magnificence.-Chicago Herald.

Ram Too Much for 1ioee.

It Is a fact that the tiger makes no
pretense to invincible courage, as may
DO seen in the instance of one kept In
the Calcutta Geological gardens. which
was butted to death by ram. A sol
der owned fighting ram, which be.
came 30 troublesome 1t had to be sent
to the zoo.
There 1t caused 80 much annoyance
that it was decided to give it to the
great tiger Of the collection. The tiger
was so ferocious that its food was let
down through sliding grating in the
roof Of its cage. The ram was
lowered down. The tiger, doing in
one corner, saw the ram descend and
rising, began to stretch himself. The
ram, not knowing he was intended to
be food for the big beast, supposed
the stretching was the signal for a
fight.
Stepping nimbly back to the farthesi
corner Of the cage, 1t put down its
head and went straight at the tiger
and IN a few minutes butted it tc
death.

The Perfect Theater,

What some may be disposed to ~
gard as the perfect theater exists in
Moscow. A correspondent gives this
picture Of it: "A perfectly clean the
alter. with waxed floors and no dirt
even in the gallery; simple heater
without plush or gliding. with hard
but elegant seats even In the stalls; a
theater where, before you enter, you
must hang up your hat and overcoat
on peg and take off your overshoes; q
theater Of no clapping or laughter and
to which you cannot be admitted II
you are unpunctual and arrive after
the action has commenced; a theater
where, between the acts, you all leave
your seats to walk and talk in the cor
ridors and picture galleries of the the
alter or to sit and take coffee In the
restaurant; a theater where the raising
of the curtain afresh Is not heralded
by bells or knocks on the floor. but
by turning the electric light of, first
a quarter. then a half, then three
Quarters"
