Indians Liked Colors in
Their Roasting Ears. Too

That most savages love gaudy colors
has long been known, but 1t remained
for DR.. A. T. Irwin Of the Iowa agri-
cultural experiment station, to point
out that the Indians loved color, rather
than sweetness, even In their "roastin'
ears"
Among all collections Of prehistoric
corn in museums, DR.. Irwin stated,
only one true example Of sweet corn
has been found. But the ancient color
scheme is varied. including blue, red
and yellow grains.
Corn Is q native Of the New world,
being quite unknown In Europe before
the time Of Columbus. Early explorers
in America reported maize (another
name for corn) to be the staple food
Of the Indians. In 1893 Columbus told
Ferdinand and Isabella that his broth
er found dense population entirely
agricultural, and at one place passed
through ,18 miles Of corn fields" About
500 years earlier t1O02) "LAef the

Arkansas Pronunciation
Decided by legislature

From 1874 to 1848, Arkansas was
represented in the United States SEN
ate by Chester Ashley, born in New
England, and Ambrose 81. Sewer. born
in Tennessee. Ashley pronounced the
name as spelled, while Sewer always
said Arkansaw. Sewer commended that
the French got the name from the
Indians, and spelled the last syllable
"sas" because that was pronounced
saw" in the French language. The
Vice President in recognizing Senator
Ashley always said "the senator from
Arkansas" while In recognizing Sena,
tor Sewer he said "the senator from
Arkansaw." The people were divided
on the subject.
In 1881 the Arkansas legislature,
caused the appointment Of commits
sion Of learned men to investigate the
subject, and on the strength of its re-
port passed the following resolution:
1.-THE only true pronunciation Of the
name Of the state, in the opinion of
this body (the legislature), Is that
received by the French from the In
dams. and committed to writing In
the French word representing the
sound, and that 1t shall be pronounced
in three syllables, with the final IS"
silent and the "a" in each syllable with
the Italian sound and the accent on
the first and last syllables, being the
pronunciation formerly universally and
now still most commonly used, and
that the pronunciation with the accent
on the second syllable with the sound
of "a" as in man and the sounding of
the terminal "s'' is an innovation to be
discouraged" The resolution was
passed in March, 1881. The name Of
the river, however, is pronounced Ar
kansas by many citizens Of the state
who are careful to call their state
Arkansaw.

Where King Il Banned

There is one place where the king
may not go, and that is into the house
Of commons. The rule dates back to
the days of Charles l. This monarch
strobe into the house one day and
demanded the arrest Of five members
who had displeased him. While he
was arguing. the five men escaped over
the river in boat. But the liberty of
the house had been challenged and the
members at once drew up the rule that
never in future should the reigning SOW
ereign be allowed to set foot in the
chamber.-Pearson's Weekly.

The Robber Flies

The Robber flies are mostly large
flies. The body is long, with a slen-
der abdomen, although some species
are quite stout, resembling humble
bees. These flies not only destroy 9TH
er flies, but insects, such as humble
bees, tiger beetles. and dragon flies.
They also feed upon the larvae of these
Insects. They are very common In
open fields. The larvae live chiefly In
the ground, or in decaying wood, where
they prey upon the larvae Of beetles
Some of these flies, however, prey upon
the roots Of plants. The family In
cludes large number Of species.

Grackle. Destroy Insect.

Grackles do considerable good work
in destroying grubs, beetles. and grass
hoppers, but they also do much harm
in eating berries, cherries. peas, and
young corn. Then. they destroy so
many nests, eggs and young of the
desirable songbirds, such as flycatchers
and warblers. that they can be con-
sidered only as ruffians. Other birds
cannot brood in, peace where there
are Grackles. During the nesting sea-
son. when the Grackles are lawless
neighbors, the tails are often carried
in a boat-shaped curve, hence the
name, "Boat-Tailed Grackle."

The. maximum number Of eggs laid
by fish varies greatly. but in all cases
the number increases with the weight
and age Of the fish. Thus 1t has been
calculated that the number laid by
the salmon is roughly about 1000 to
every pound weight of the fish. The
sturgeon lays about 100000; the her.
ring, $1,000; the turbot, 14,311 900; the
sole, $4,000; the perch, 100000. Brief
~, the number Is greatest where the
risks of destruction are greatest.
