on the Right at the Rose.

and to the ear by a mass of white,
time the parts affected have lost their
substance, are light in weight and
brittle in texture
Upon close study it soon becomes
apparent that there are several of
these ear rots, or at least that there
are differences which seem fairly con-
slant when numerous specimens are
carefully examined 1t is thus posi-
BILE to divide the affected ears into
four groups, as follows: Diplodia,
Fusarium l, Fusarium II, Fusarium III.
Some of these rots are so similar
that the casual observer rarely en-
tertains any suspicion OF their being
but one form Tho resemblances are
So complete in some instances that
the removal of the husk and some
times a microscopic examination are
needed for the classification of the
variety. Commonly, however, in fairly
advanced stages Of the disease one
or more characteristic differences are
apparent. The two forms most easily
confused are the Diplodia, in which
the color of the moldy growth is
white, and Fusarium II, in which it
is pink to red.
The first indication that ears of
corn are diseased is a fading of the
bright green of the husks to a pale
yellowish green color. In Diplodia
this change goes on gradually, and
under favorable conditions quite rap
idly, until the entire ear has the ap-
pearance of premature ripening While
this change of color on the outside
is progressing one finds the inner
husks have not lost their normal color
but are more or less tinged with
brown, particularly along the advanc-
ing margin of the diseased area This
description also applies to the disease
produced by Fusarium II, although no
entirely decayed ear due to this organ
ism has been found. In this case in
lection always begins at the tip and
proceeds downward, rarely involving
more than half of the ear.
The diseased ears shrivel up more
or less, become darker in color and

yet if they should win and Wester-
ling finds that have been party to
this treachery, as I shall be now that
l am in the secret, think of the posi-
ton Of my mother and myself" she
continued. Has that occurred to you,
friend, in making our property, our
garden, our neutrality, which is our
only defense, a factor in one Of your
pans without our permission?''
Her eyes, blue-black in appeal and
reproach, revealed the depths Of a
wound as they had on the terrace steps
before luncheon, when he had been
apprised Of feeling for him by seeing
it dead under his blow. The logic of
the chief of intelligence withered. He
understood how a friendship to her
was, indeed, more sacred than patriotic
passion. He realized the shame Of
what he had done now that he was
free Of professional Influences.
"You are right, Marital" he replied.
ut was beastly of me-there is no ex-
cuse."
He looked around to see an orderly
from the nearest military wireless sta
ton.

the orderly, in excuse for his intrusion,
as he passed a telegram to LanstroH.
Immediately Lanstron felt the touch
Of the paper his features seemed to
take on mask that concealed his
thought as he read:
Take night express. Come direct
from station to me. Partow"
This meant that he would be ex-
pected at Partow's Office at eight the
next morning. He wrote his answer;
the orderly saluted and departed at a
rapid pace; and then, as matter Of
habit Of the same kind that makes
some men wipe their pens when lay
ing them down, he struck a match and
set fire to one corner of the paper,
which burned to his fingers ends be-
fore he tossed the charred remains
away. Marta imagined what he would
be like with the havoc of war raging
around him-all seIf-possession and
mastery; but actually he was trying to
reassure himself that he ought not to

Why Flowers Flash.

The strange phenomenon exhibited
by some red flowers of seeming to
flash in the twilight, but only when
the flower comes sideways into the
range of vision, is explained by Prof.
F. A. ". Thomas OF lena. He says
twilight makes red seem brighter and
green duller than in full daylight AZ
the image of the red flower moves
from the peripheral part of the retina,
where the rods are red-blind, to the
fovea, the red is perceived more vivid
Iy than before, and this image coin
cides with the Purkinje after-inage OF
the surroundings, giving the imyres'

Everyone who has had anything to
do with harvesting corn has noticed
at least an occasional ear that diff
fered remarkably from the normal
ones in being more or less covered
with and penetrated by mold. In many
cases the husks and silk are also in

lighter in weight. The kernels are
also shriveled, are very brittle, and
are loosely attached to the more or
less rotten cob. The silk is moldy
and adheres by the mass of fungous
threads to the inner husks and corn.
The fungus penetrates all parts of
the ear, sometimes extending into and
badly injuring the shank.
The premature yellowing of the
husks of plants otherwise healthy is
an indication that diseased condi-
ton exists.
