Ly “Corn will sell twenty cents per bushel higher than wheat within the next ten years and stay there,” is the wview expressed by H. D. Wetmore, a ‘grain man and globe trotter, who has given the subject much'stuay. “Corn is very rapidly coming into its own, which means that it is worth more pound for pound than wheat as meat and fat producer,” he said. ‘The world has but a limited area of land ‘ldnptable to raising corn, as it can only be produced at certain altitudes, Wwhile the wheat area is practically anlimited. The only reason that corn has always sold lower than wheat is because from the inception of the trade in this country the foreigner was unfamiliar with its uses and value, and we have always grown more than we could use at home, This country has now come to the point where it does not neced to ex port corn and the grain therefore is ~rapidly assuming its rightful position " awmong the cereals.” i | STATE GLEANINGS.

SIGN OF A BEATEN MAN., Runner Who Looks Behind Almost Sure to Lose the Race. “There are many more good dis tance runners now than in my days,” said van old time champion after watching the three mile scratch race at the New York Athletic Clib games in Madison Square Garden. “But the habits of the runners have not chang ed any, for I noticed one little trick in the final sprint for victory when that used to attach to it. “To the casual onlooker there was nothing to choose between the two leaders when they were beginning the last qmarter of a mile. Right from the crack of the pistol they were run ning almost stride for stride with the low, graceful, easy action of the real long distance runner. “Neither had called into use the reserve power ‘which must be utilized in the final sprint for victory when they turred into the stretch for the final lap. Then one of them slightly turned his head to see where the third man was. “‘That man is beaten,’ was the thought which occurred to me at once, and it proved true, as always for when the dash for the finish be gan he allowed his rival to get a lead of five yards before going after him in earnest pursuit. ‘ “From thaf point to the finish there was no perceptible difference in the speed of the men, but the man who had turned his head to make sure that he would get secoend place, ins stead of bending every energy to win, of course landed where his thoughts placed him.”—New York Sun. Concrete Belt Armor. The use of re-enforced concrete armor on warships has recently been suggested. An Italian engineer, Lor enzo d'Adda, has been led by the suc cess of concrete land fortifications, as revealed in the Russian-Japanese war, to construct armor plates of re enforced concrete, covered with thin plates of steel, as a protection against the immediate effects of the impact of shells. Concrete armor plates, even when re-enforced by stout and close ly inlaid iron bars, must obviously be much thicker than hardened steel armor, but as the specific gravity of the material is only one-third that of steel the weight of the armor need not be increased, while its cost may be very greatly diminished. The sub stitution of re-enforced concrete for steel armor on a first class battleship would effect a considerable saving. The practicability of the substitution will be decided by the result of ex periments, soon to be made, on the effect of shots on the re-enforced concrete plates.—Scientific American. A Severe Sentence. Lord Eskgrove, a Scotch judgs, while desaribed as learned in the old law of Scotland, was given to saying ludicrous and absurd things when pre siding in court. On one occasion, when condemning the accused to death ‘for having murdered a soldier, the judge aggravated the offence thus: “And not only did you murder him whereby he was bereaved of his life but you did thrust, or push, or pierce or project, or propel the lethal weap: on through the bellyband of his regi mental breeches, which were his ma jesty’s.”—The American -Lawver, ......oOld Folks’ Bibles K ......5.
