WHY CORN IS A REAL KING
(torn of the Uses to Which the
World's Crop of Four Billion
Boihrla U Tat.
Corn is the king of the grains In the
number of bushels produced and In all
around usefulness. It Is the foundation for
the livestock Industry In the United States,
especially hog raising.
Corn Is used directly for food by thou
sands of people. In the form of corn bread,
hominy and many excellent dishes. In
directly it Is the food for the-entire meat
eating world, but aside from Its food uses
there are many others that many people
have never heard about.
People who like to talk In millions and
billions should revel In discussing the corn
crop. Corn was the gift of the new world
to the old. It probably originated in Mex
ico. Now it is grown all over the world
and the average annual crop Is about 4,000,
000,000 bushels. The United States furnishes
two-thirds of that total.
Every year some new use Is found tor
corn. In the old days there were only
two ways to dispose of It to feed It to
cattle and, In the shape of cornmeal, to
some people. The meal had to be for local
consumption, because when made, as It
then was, from the whole kernel, it soon
became rancid.
From the germ, which Is separated from
the kernel In the milling process, the oil
Is extracted by chemical and mechanical
processes and constitutes a product which
is coming Into use In the manufacture of
paint,
The vulcanized oil la used extensively In
surfacing .linoleum and oilcloth and Is ap
plied to a number of other purposes, Ater
the oil Is extracted there la left a valuable
residuum known as corn oil cake, which
is sold here and abroad and Is used In the
fattening of sheep and other animals.
Nearly fifty million pounds of this ml
terlal are annually shipped to Great Brit
ain and Germany and there used by farm
ers, who find It cheaper than materials
of a similar nature which they can grow
at home. '
A corn product which is coming into ex
tensive use Is glucose, made from starch,
water and sulphuric acid. Confectioners
us large quantities of glucose, which is a
colorless, sweetish syrup useful as food
when properly taken. Nearly 200,000,000,000
pounds of glucose are sent out of this
country each year to, all parts of the world
From cornstarch also comes dextrin of
several kinds, used extensively In the
making of glue, paste and mucilage. When
one licks a postage stamp one gets a taste
of dextrin, flavored often with some harm
less preservative.
One other use of corn may be mentioned
as In all probability having an important
bearing on future industrial pursuits,
Denatured alcohol Is already extensively
manufactured from cprn, both at home
and 'abroad. Despite the advancing price
of the grain It Is still one of the most eco
nomical sources of a product which under
different legal restrictions from those now
In existence msy become Important as a
source of heat, light and power In homes,
especially farm homes.
Experiments conducted here and abroad
demonstrated that bulkheads construcied
of cornstalks were nearly Impervious to
water when a shot passed through them.

Man Who Sets His Table Wlthont Pit
ting the Dainties There, It Is
Claimed, Need Feel !o
Alarm.
NEW TORK. Sept. U. While thousands
are stsrvlng In China and Franc Is be
ing torn with riots In protest egAlnst th
high cost of food, there Is renewed at
tention In this country to th fact that
sugar has reached Its highest point In
twelve years; that coffee Is soaring, and
potatoes are sailing as high as $1 10 a bushel
in the field. In view of this householders
are asking themselves:
"Will this winter see a recurrence of the
conditions of 1909-10. when the cost of Uv
Ing reached Its apex and declined slowly
only after many so-called boycotts against
meat and other high-priced commodities
ware declared throughout th land?"
To this question economic experts seen
here today say no. No commodities will
be higher they ssy, except In some in
stances, than those of last winter, but
they add that the man who sets his table
with plain everyday fare, avoiding fancy
brands and near luxuries, may await the
approach of cold weather without undue
anxiety. It is pointed out that, generally
speaking . with th exception of coffee,
sufc-ar. potatoes and a few canned vege
tables, the present month for September
was ushered In with conditions more fav
orable to th consumer than th case a
year ago.
On September mess pork was quoted at
$19 a barrel wholesale, as against US on
th same date In 1910; th wholesale price
of ham Is a little mor than IS rents a
pound as compared with IS cants In th
early fall of last year; western lard Is
selling at a fraction more than 9 cents
as against more than 12 cents in Septem
ber, 19:0, and butter and eggs are both
comparatively reasonable and a few cents
cheaper retail than In last September.
Floor Same as Last Year.
Flour of good quality is selling at lowest
retail prices at J5.95 a barrel, th same
price that prevailed at this time last year,
and bacon may be had at some stores for
20 cents a pound, as against 23 cents and
26 cents a year ago. The averag family
steak costs about 28 cents a pound, as It did
last year, though experts say that with all
feeding crops short. It Is not unlikely that
beef will go higher as th winter pro.
gresses.
The cost of poultry will b largely de
termined by cold storags holdings. Indica
tions are that the shortage of potatoes is
serious, not only in this country, but In
Great Britain and Germany. In th fall
of laat year on could buy good potato
In the field at 66 cents a bushel; today the
price ranges from S6 e,ents to mor than 11
Canned peas, beans and tomatoes also will
be higher, but rlc remains cheap and. un
less there Is a marked advance In pork.
It Is argued that th man of slender means
can provle for his family without serious
strain.
Sugar and coffe ar both Phenomenally
high, but those who ar studying the
market predict that decreased consumption.
wnicn invariably follows a prohibitive ad
vance, will soon restore these two break
fast table necessities to a more normal
level. No. 7 standard Rio spot coffee
brought 13H cents a pound, wholesale, in
New York Saturday, as against lHi cents
year ago. and the standard grade' of
granulated sugar was quoted wholesale at
6.70 cents per pound, the highest level since
July, 1899. Failure of the European sugar
beet crop and poor prospects In Cuba are
given as the cause of the abrupt jump in
tne sugar market. '
- Ft-ores In Com par laon.
It is almost impossible to strike an In
telligent average of the price to the con
sumer, so much depending on the location
of the dealer's store. The following table
of twenty-five standard commodities, how
ever, shows the wholesale prices when the
month of September opened. These figure

WOULD-BE LAWYERS CUT DOWN
Aspirants for Bar Honors SabJeeted
to Fierce Examination tn
Rew York.
Would-be lawyer who took the recent
bar examination in New Tork City were
plucked by the hundreds, and the straggling
ib per cent or so who were able to survive
the severest legal ordeal ever Imposed are
still on tenterhooks.,
Not only were the questions unusually
difficult, but they must undergo, the, most
searching scrutiny as to their moral char
acter before they will be admitted. The
young men are very busy now getting affi
davits from every source that tbey are all
right, and at the same time they are appre
hensively waiting ths reports of detectives
and process servere who are en their trails.
Eight hundred presented themselves for the
examination held In Grand Central palace,
and of theee only 138 received sufficiently
high markings te put them tn the passing
class. They get no certificates unless they
are approved on the final returns of the
investigators of character and reputation.
The-fact that there war saventy-two dis
barments last year for Irregular conduct is
largely responsible for th vigilance of a
volunteer committee and of the grievance
committee of the bar association, with
which it is co-operating. '
la days gene by It was one of the easiest
things known to become g lawyer. Jn the
last decade, however, the qualifications
have been Increasing, and on July 1 last a
new law went Into effect to the require
ment for admission. The New Tork court
of appeals has directed that students who
are graduates of college must pass at least
three years In the study of their profession,
on of which must be la a law office, be
fore they can be admitted, even though
they may be able te pass the teats In less
time. Nongraduate now must have four
year study. The law school graduates
must also present evidence that they took
all the examinations their alma mater re
quired, and there Is a movement en foot
to Insist that an actual degree of bachelor
of laws ahaU hare been won by those whs
attend law schools before they are per
mitted to take part In the final teets

WAR CLOUD IS
GROWING DARK
(Continued from First Page?)
being submitted to lengthy examination on
the part of Premier Caillaux and Foreign
Minister De Selves, it was decided to
refer the proposals to specialists on Moroc
can questions. When the specialists have
formed sn opinion the premier will call
a meeting of tne csblnet and lay before
It the whole matter for derision.
Germany asks, It appears, that every
claim of German subjects to concessions In
Morocco shall be recognised by France,
and that no new enterprise shall be started
under the French protectorate without be
ing internationalised equally.
The claims of German subjects, particu
larly those by Mannesmann Bros., and
speculative companies organised by them,
are enormous.
The German terms also etk a Tree hand
In Morocco with conditions that would, ac
cording to the French view, deprive France
of all her advantages and would give
Germany privileges In Morocco beyond
those of any power, even France.
There seems no likelihood of the French
government accepting the German counter
proposals.
A temporary way out of the difficulty
may be that some other signatory of the
Algeclraa act will ask for another Inter
national conference.
Although the tone of the Paris
bourse was heavy today, the solid
structure of French finance was little af
fected by financial embarrassments In
Germany for the reason that the French
buy securities for permanent Investment
and do not sell them because of fluctua
tion in quotations.
The worst effect of the Moroccan un
certainties is on business which simply
waits day to day to see what will happen.
French houses have cancelled many buy
ing orders in Germany and the French
banks, as previously Indicated, refuse to
renew the German loans falling due.
Credit likewise la cut off from Berlin In
London. The Soclete General, one of the
most Important of the Fench banks has re
fused to renew a loan of 6,000,000 francs
(approximately 31.200,ono) made to the
Deutsche bank.
MR. FOGG IS A BACK NUMBER
Jnlee Verne'e Globe ' Trotter Ontdle
dlstaneed by Travelers of
Today.
On his deathbed' Jules Verne lamented
that with all his popularity he had added
nothing to the world's literature. It ought
to have been some compensation that he
had greatly enhanced Its interest In science,
although all his writings concerned what
was then psuedo-sclence. But most of the
author's fancies have now become prosaic
facts, and his memory has been eclipsed
by the accomplishments of daring pioneers.
Submarines now sail the seas. Dlrlgable
balloons and aeroplanes make his imagl
nery feats seem tame, while the exploit of
Phlleas Fogg has been cut tn half.
On Sunday, a Parisian Journalist arrived
home after girdling the earth In a fw
houre less than forty days. It Is true that
he did not follow the route of the putative
Phlleas Fogg, and was short of the tat
ter's record in mileage. Neither did he
bring home a wife. But In all other re
spects the feat was notable, and It now
appears that It could be expected If one
could make all the connections. When
Puck announced that he could put a girdle
around the earth In forty minutes he had
no notion that some human being could do
the trick In forty days or by electricity In
40 seconds. The Incident serves to show
how small the earth Is gettlng-relatlvely
and what close, neighbors all human beings
are becoming.
A trip around the world In record time
Is not a particularly delightful entertain
ment. It gives no time for one to absorb
atmosphere or get a fine perspective
Mr. Jager-Schmldt has seen the world at
the rate of 480 miles a day. and a good
deal of It he did not see at all. for he slept
over a good portion of the route. Yet the
feat stirs Imagination, and there are few
who would Rot like a similar experience.
One hundred years ago most people grew
up and died within a few miles of their
birthplaco. When Napoleon was planning
his Moscow campaign, at that very mo

this age the result might have been dif
ferent. '
Living men have seen Inventions develop
which have shrunk the earth to the sise
of a former county. Distance has been con

will look upon the aeroplane as something

NO ROMANCE IN GOLD MINING
Individual Effort Overshadowed by
Mining; Companies In Alaskan
Digging.
"There is no longer any romance In gold
mining. While it Is possible for a poor
man to go to Alaska and make a fortune
it he happens to strike it rich, still, the
successful mining is being done by com
panies, for the reason that it requires a
large amount of capital to work the claims
in such a manner that the profits are not
eaten up by the operating expenses." said
C. C. Webster, Just ' back In New Tork
from the Alaska gold fields.
"Gold mining in Alr.ska is on a business
basis. The era of hydraulic mining has
arrived, and It has practically supplanted
the old method of working the dirt by hand.
This has necessitated the building of costly
ditches, but It has also opened up new
fields, for dirt which yields only 12 or 15
cents a cubic yard can be worked profit
ably, while under the old method It meant
failure to handle dirt which yielded less
than S3 or 14 a yard.
"Then, again, the country along the
coast Is being settled. The towns In the
gold fields are almost as modern and well
equipped as the smaller cities in the east
ern states. There Is no more outlawry or
disorder. Life is as safe In the Alaskan
gold fields as it Is tn New Tork. Even
gambling has been stopped. Scarcely any
thing remains to make the life picturesque
and exciting as it was during the rush to
the Klondike tn 1899. The country Is be
coming civilized, and there is nothing like
civilization to dispel dismal romance

ered In paying quantities In practically '
every stream in th Nome district, as well i
a along what is known ss th third beac..
line, and thousands of acres have beet:
located for placer mining purposes. Man
of these mining claims have bn work
profitably for severs! years by the prim.
live method of shovelling Into slues boxes
"This is a very expensive method, be
cause labor costs S3 a day In addition to
S2.S0 a day for board. As one man can
handle only three cubic yards of dirt a
large share of the profits Is eaten up. The
dirt Is shoveled Into sluce boxes through
which water Is turned. The gold dust set
tles on the floor of the box and can easily
be collected. Occasionally small nugget
are found, but the greater part of the goM
Is found In the form of dust. When this
Is very fine, as it Is when found along
the coast, mercury Is placed on the floor
of the slue boxes to catch It. Later the
mercury, Is separated, leaving the pure
gold. As long a the dirt funs above S4
or $5 this method is practicable, although
extremely wasteful.
"These conditions existed for many years,
but a great change has taken place. There
are several lines of steamships plying be
tween California and Nome, and two rail
roads run several hundred miles Into the
Interior. A few years ago It cost 60 cents
a pound to bring freight of any kind Into
the Nome country. Now it costs less than
S17 a ton. This has enabled capitalists to
build the reservoirs.' ditches, flumes and
pipe lines, which are absolutely necessary
for hydraulic mining. Often this neces
sitates the comblnatloa of several lo
cators, who unite their Interests for the
common good of all concerned, and the
manner usually adopted ts to form a com
pany. So the largest share of the mining
In the Nome country today Is being done :
by companies, although It is possible for
prospectors with a moderate amount of
capital to work their own claims by buy
ing water from the owners of the ditches.
Water sells at about U50 a miner's Inch
per day, and It Is a source of great reve
nue to the owner of the water rights.
By this hydraulic method the dlrst Is
forced Into, a huge sluice box and washed
down to a dump. The particles of gold
settle on the floor of the box. where they
are easily collected. The stream of water
is so powerful that It will cut down cliffs
and move huge boulders, and, of course,
It forces an immense amount of dlrst Into
the sluices. A cubic yard of dirt can be
handled In this way for 6 or 7 cents. When
this figure Is contrasted with the $2.50 It
costs to handle it by hand, the advantage
of hydraulic mining Is evident
"Several other methods are employed in
mining gold in the Nome district, but the
hydraulic method is far superior and less
expensive than .any of them. Of course,
during the winter months all operations
have to be suspended, but from the first
of June until late in October the tem
perature Is comparatively mild and the day
light twenty-four hours long. The gold Is
in . the ground. It Is simply a question of
getting It out. New Tork World.

New Way to Remove
Age Marks From Skin
(Modern Styles.)
By discarding powder and cosmetics and
using a mayatone lotion, it Is an easy
matter to gradually remove wrinkles and
facial blemishes and give to an aged, flab
by or unlovely skin the rich embellishment
of girlhood health. The lotion, which Is
made by dissolving an original package
of mayatone in eight ounces of witch
hazel, should be applied daily.
Before using the skin should be thor
oughly cleansed of dust and grime, and
then the lotton gently massaged Into the
face, neck and arms until the skin Is dry
