Chinese on the Linotype.

The simplifcation Of the Chinese
language and alphabet has been car
ried so far by manufactured of type
setting machines that the alphabet has
been reduced from the overwhelming
number of over 5000 distinct signs
and characters to only 80. Types of
these are now supplied and it is no
more difficult to compose printed ar
ticles In Chinese than In any other
of AZ languages for which this same
concern has evolved type and ma

seotIand,s Gray Seals.

Along the western seaboard of Scot
land the two most interesting animals
are the red deer and the Atlantic seal.
They are both to be found peOpling
the western highland-the stag with
his home on the sea-girt hills, the seal
inhabiting the rocky islets where the
ponderous rollers thunder In majestic
force over the smooth-worn rocks. A
wild country 1t is, where the great At
lantic storms rush across the Hebri-
des. and for weeks ON end during the
season of winter there is scarce a
breathing space between the tempests.
No surf is too heavy, no sea nor storm
too furious, for the gray seal. Its less
er relative, the brown or common seal,
rarely ventures far into the ocean
its haunts are the sea lochs and COM
paratively sheltered waters, but here
the gray seal does not come. Its joy
is to feel the swirls of the tide-rip, or
the battle with its surf; diving swiftly
beneath the larger waves; treating the
lesser ones with contempt.-Seton

HoARDs OF SEEMINGLY POOR
Hunger Is Admittedly a Hard Task
master, But the Love OF Money
Can Overcome It.

Though it strikes strange note 70
hear of people living and dying In the
midst of poverty-stricken surroundings
while they are in possession of quite
decent fortunes, yet we hear now ana
then of this happening. London Al
swers remarks.
A case occurred in Dublin. where an
old woman had died alone. When the
police searched in the house they
found, hidden away in egg-cups, tea-
pots, and other utensils, gold amount
ing to thousand pounds.
Some years ago an old woman was
knocked down and killed instantly by
dray in the west of Ireland When
the police inspected her wretched
dwelling they found it packed almost
to the door with branches OF trees ana
chunks of wood for the winters fuel.
Further search revealed a hoard OF
money.
Two buckets and tin trunk were
full to overlooking with all kinds OF
current coin,~ both gold and silver, as
well as a still larger wooden FOX ana
about a dozen mugs. When the money
was collected and weighed it was over
hundredweight
An old-age pensioner died alone In
a Kent village, yet when the authori-
ties searched her poor dwelling they
discovered three bags of gold. one
contained 1874, another f225. and the
third f63, all in Victorian soyereigns.
It was found too, that the house was
the old womans property. Yet she
was in receipt of the old-age pension.
A remarkable and pathetic case
comes from Geneva, which is some
thing of a contrast to these sordid
ones. An old widow had lived in abb
ject poverty for fifty years, and then,
on her seventy-sixth birthday, she pre-
scented a large clock worth fS2O TO
the commune.
She had saved this large sum, penny
by penny, on an average income OF Ell
year, dressing as a beggar and al
most starving herself for half a CEN
fury. In presenting the commune with
the clock, she said she had gained the
object of her life, and now would
die content.

Mr.. Burbank found an occasional kerr

became only a remnant at the base
of the kernels and finally disappeared
altogether. The ears Of corn which

as a result of his scientific plant

teosinte of the South, and 80 times
the amount Of grain.

fact that the plant breeder, simply b!

America they found not the tiny wild
teOsinte, but Indian corn, or maize

improved kernels to the ear-nature's
response to the simple -btesdins
methods of the savage. 1t is not even
known how long the Indians had been
cuitivating this improved corn. That
il was long before the appearance OF
Europeans, however, is evident not
only from it's early and widespread
cultivation by tribes of the area now
embraced in the United States. but
from the fact that indications of its
cultivation are found in mounds and

In 1910, during the Revolution, Cen
eral Sullivan led the famous punitive
expedition against the IrOquois Give
Nationsl in central New York. His
mission was to destroy the villages
and crops of the Indians. The IrO-
quOiS lived in fixed habitations and
had thousands of acres of corn and
orchards, and it was good corn and
we'll cultivated, with pumpkins be-
tween the rows.
Nowadays the annual corn crop of
the woodland it is grown from Can
ada to the Argentine republic and
in parts Of Europe, Asia, Africa and
Australia-amounts Ito approximately
three billion bushels, three-Quarters
of which is grown in the United
States, where it exceeds in value the
combined wheat and cotton crops, or
approximately four billion dollars.
1t must be remembered, too, that
between the original wild grass and
the corn which the white men found
the Indian cultivating here, there was
undoubtedly very long period of the
so-called pod" corn, in which each
kernel was enclosed in sheath. When

ment, which has been proceeding

farm in California since 1908, ana

ards life has just been made.
1t was the savage Indian, says Mr.
Burbank, who gave us, here in Amer
lea, the most important crop we have.
1t was the Indian who found the wiz
grass teosinte, covering the pains
and developed it into corn. Or, to
turn it the other way around, 1t was
the desire of the Indian for food
plant like this that led the teosinte
grass, by gradual adaptation, to pro-
duce maize. On Mr.. Burbank's farm
there grows, today, this same teosinte
which the Indian found. 1t bears
tiny ears with two rows of corn-llke
kernels, on a cob the thickness or
q lead pencil, and from two to four
inches long-slightly less in length
than an average head of wheat
From it's earlier stage of pod
corn, In which each kernel was en-
cased in separate sheath or husk like
wheat, teosinte represented, no doubt,
a hard-fought survival and adaptation
like that of the Towering violet. And
when the Indians came into its en-
vironment it responded to their infiu-
ence as the pansy responded to care
and cultivation in its new doOryard
home.

That is one of the provisions in the

showed that he was a bigger man than
