Tho Bioux City corn Palace and thcro was never a corn palace outside ot Sioux City is a palace covered and cmbcllisucd, as with tapestry, outside and inside, with products ot thu field, corn predominating, ingeniously and fancifully arranged. In building the palace a largo structuro Is first erected oi lumber, or a snapc tuat will cai ry and show to advantage tho multiform decoratlons-wlth which it is to bo adorned. It is in formJofty, with broken lines, pin nacles, Duurcsses, uuuges, gauics, orna mental windows, etc. Over every Inch ot this wooden surface aro laid corn and kindred plants In architect ural harmony, in a multiplicity of dcslirns Tho corn Is employed In the stock, tho car. tho kernel, and even the husk has its dec oratlvo uses. All the grain and grasses ot the field lend themselves to tho beautifying of tho palace. Tho walls aro covered on luo outside witu cars or corn, cut lcncth. wise or crosswise, and nailed on in geome trical figures or other designs. Tho vari- ous colors ot the cereal permit ot a wido racgo ot shading and coloring, while Its ar tistic possibilities, developed irom year to year in building mo palace, admit of th productlou of effects that aro as startling as picasurauic. High over tho cntranco of tho palaco of 1880 was King Corn's crown as the nucleus ot a sunburst, while below was tho nation al Mag in graceful folds all wrought in vary-colorcd corn as truo and as beautiful as If painted by an artist's brush. The root Is overlaid with corn leaves. Pinnacl es and columns arc capped with tho sorg hum plant, or with (rains and grasses. The Irridescent walls, seen from a near dis tance, seem to bo a rich mosaic ot polished woods, wbilo with tho "Banners, yellow, glorious, goldm," that "From its roof-trce lloat and How," the palaco enraptures tho beholder as one who looks upon a cloud-painted mansion that may dissolve before his eyes. Tbo Interior work Is finer and moro ela. borate. Hero the kernel ot the corn Is largely employed, producing amazing and lovely effects. On tbo walls aro wrought pictures, illustrating iarin scenes, legendry and nursery tales, etc , with a fidelity that is calculated to ralso a doubt that tho ma terlal employed Is tbo homely utilitarian growth ot western farms. Frescoes and I ...... uututnip. Iraperles and thousands of "urprising and l,nn,,f,,l thlnrra am mail., nt rii.l.l nl.n. flowers, figures of persons and animals, beautiful things aro made of field nlants for tbo delight ot tho visitors to tbe palace, wuobu usiuuisuincni is succctucu uy ad ralratiou of tho genius that conceived and developed so much ot art and beauty from such homely fabrics as aro employed.
