Many English autborltlaa claim that grain and aomc garden produce la quit# ma terially speeded up ao far as growth la concerned and the quality improved, by a current of electricity passing between the ground and a network of wires suspended above the growing crops. A Finland farmar report* an Increase of 50 per cent .in the amount of produce and grain grown In this manner. The United States Agricul tural department has been experiment ing with tbe subject for years and the final conclusion Is that no benefit or at least very little has resulted from the electrical treatment of the soil. In fact it was noticed that a slightly prolonged exposure resulted In kill ing the seed placed in the ground. This conclusion ft agreed in by some other authorities so that the prepond erance of opinion is that the electrical treatment of soil is without result-— Exchange.

Maya Indians May Have Been “Pioneers” in Corn At Quirigua, In the republic of Guatemala, there exists a number of most interesting ruins, apparently the remains of temples and other public buildings. There are many individual monoliths, erected as monuments of different sorts, sculptured with human faces and figures and animal designs, as well as hieroglyphics, which arche ologists have not as yet been able to decipher accurately. One such stone bears a date in Mayan chronology which has been computed to coincide with 535 A. D. of the Gregorian cal endar. The carving of this monolith, which is the largest of the surviving remnants, is still clear and perfect, desp.te the long procession of cen turies that has passed over it. In scriptions and representations on this and other stones tend to the belief that Indian corn was first cultivated in Guatemala. The corncakes of the Mayan Indians were probably the first attempts to cook corn, or maize, and these cakes arg itill today the staple of the Guatemalan and Mexican diet.
