James Whitcomb Riley, which has
been carried on for almost q year in
connection with the preparation Of the
first complete collection of his works
in prose and poetry, has brought
to light a great mass of material of
which little or nothing was previously
known More than two hundred hith-

cred. One of the most typical of the
Hoosier poets works dating back to
the earlier days of his career is an IL

JebIess Turn to Gold Mlnlnn.

How to provide for the army of tho
unemployed, thrown out of work be-
cause OF the business depression re-
sultlng from the European war, is
naturally a much more serious prob
lem in the British colonies than any
where else outside of the continent OF
Europe. The city of Edmonton, Can
ada, has found at least a partial solu-
tion, and one that puts no added bur
den on either the taxpayer or the char
table The bars of the Saskatchewan
river, which runs through the city,
contain much gold dust OF the very
fine flour variety. With the outbreak
of the European war and the neces-
sity to provide as much available
work for men whom war conditions
might throw out of employment, the
city council turned to the gold-mining
industry, which offered returns right
within a hundred yards of the citY's
main streets. A number of expari.
eneed mining men who had settled in
the city after the Klondike rush of
'9S offered to act for a while as in
struetors to the uninitiated, and some
200 men soon went to work. The av-
erage cleanup per man for the months
of August and September was about
$3.50 to So day.-Popular Mechanics

speatsfna Trumpet is Old.

Duhamel, Frenchman, claimed for
his country the credit of the invention
of the speaking trumpet, and referring
to the object in one of his books he
says: Among many things which
the celebrated balance caused to be
made for this purpose, the trumpet
ascribed to- Alexander, and with which
he called together his army, ought
not to be omitted. AS the figure of IT.
was represented in an old manuscript
in the Vatican library, and had been
ascribed to, Bettini, that learned man
was desirous of trying whether 1t
could be proved by experience, and
the attempt succeeded; for that kind
of a trumpet if it does not excel
seems undoubtedly to equal the other
instruments constructed for that end"

over the germ, due to a separation of
the cuticle from its attachment. Again,
II the whole area over the germ is
deeply sunken, it indicates lack of
maturity and consequent excessive
shrinkage. Failure of the grain to
separate readily from the cob is an
other indication of lack Of ripeness.
A brown or pink discoloration about
the germ or the attached end of the
seed is very Objectionable, as is also
the presence of mold or rotten seeds.
Again, upon the general shape of
the seed depends to some extent the
quantity of grain produced.
If the seed is very wide, contracts
rapidly to its attachment, and is
rounded without, a great deal of
space is left between the kernels that
might just as well be filled. The
grains should fit snugly against each
other at all sides, and a medium
wedge-shape, with a small shoulder
at each side above the attached tip
best serves this purpose. AS already
stated in considering the germ, the
seed must not taper too rapidly, other
wise vacant space will be left next
the cob, and the taper should be alike
on the two sides, the germ being in
the middle. A very thin seed is to
be avoided; it gives too little room for
the germ, and generally denotes i'm
maturity.
In a well-ripened, well-cured ear,
the seeds should not give way when
the ear is given slight twist with
the hands. They should support each
other firmly, and when shelled ought
to come free from the cob, with no
adhering chaff and with the tips en-
tire
The general shape of an ear of corn
may range widely with variety. Some
should, according to present stand
ards, be cylindrical from butt nearly
to tip, others should taper slowly, and |
still others more rapidly and decid- !
edly Yet it may be said that in work |
ing for high yield the best results are
likely to be secured with the cylindri- |
cal ear Ears which taper are likely |
to bear shallow seeds toward the tip |
Of the cob, and when shelled out give |
too small a total weight of grain. |
This may be said, think, in the face |
of the fact that the majority of rec
ognized varieties, and some of the
very best, taper more or less The
taper ear seems to me likely in the
end to be displaced by its more shape !
ly competitor.
The cob should neither be very |
small nor excessively large. The for
mer indicates lack Of vigor, the latter
coarseness, and is generally developed
