business. Bur I do know that they cannot and will
not directly affect the industry of the country. It is
true that there is a temporary diminution of the great
volume of business that we have been doing, but that
does not mean stagnation.
Labor’s exorbitant demands have done more than
any other one thing to bring about this set-back.
This is especially true of the building trade. Of
course, too, capital is not so free as it was. We can

tat ion seems most evident, but in
fact we are dependent on the cars
for practically everything we
need. Our meats come from be
yond the Mississippi and our flour
comes as far. We could not live a
week on our own resources, and
the whistle of the steam engine
and the roar of the cars are the
announcement of the coming of
the things that we must have to
keep a-going. On the other hand,
of course, the things that we are
making are necessary to the pro
ducers elsewhere, and it is in the
exchange of these services that
we all keep busy.
PHARAOH'S CORN A FAKE.
Crop Proves to Have Come from Seed
a Boy Planted.
Some time ago there was a won
derful story in tin* European jour
nals about certain grains of an
cient Egyptian corn which had
been planted in Germany and had
duly come to life.
l lie grains, iney saiu, nau ueeu
found in an Egyptian sarcopha
gus and had been planted by a
Dresden florist. Some days later
the corn appeared above ground,
much to the surprise of scientists,
who did not suppose that there
i was life in grains which were
4,000 to 5,000 years old.
The corn, however, says Stray
Stories, was certainly growing,
and even the most incredulous
among them soon became con
vinced that grains have a lease of
life to which there is practically
no limit.'
Alas! A boy employed by the
Dresden florist has now confessed
that he planted some ordinary
grains in the same place where
his master had planted the Egyp
tian ones and only a few hours
after the florist had completed his
work.
This was sad news for the sci
entists and for the numerous
j journalists who had written en
thusiastically about the miracu
lous qualities of the ancient
grains.
Facts About the Deep Sea.
fJreat Britain and America do
more deep sea measuring than all
the other nations put together.
More than one-half of tin* sea
floor lies at a depth of a little less
than three miles. Some of the
deepest places an* holes in the
ocean bed. One of these in the
South Atlantic covers 7,000,000
! square miles, or seven per cent, of
the surface of the globe. The In
dian ocean is the greatest place
for deep waters, 24 out of the
known 42 "holes” lying at the bot
tom of that body of water. Sea
near the coast usually slopes away
gradually to a depth of (500 feet,
and then drops rapidly to a depth
of (5,000 feet. Variations of tem
perature do not extend deeper
than (500 feet. Below that the
temperature never varies.
Engine Stopped by Mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes stopped a 700-horse
power engine at a factory in St.
Louis. Examination showed that
the insects, attracted possibly br
the oil on the engine, had been
smashed to death until they
formed a sticky mass that even
steam pressure could not over
come.
