FEJEVARY: Ira is the only one living here now; the others have gone farther west. SENATOR: Isn't there something about corn? FEJEVARY: Yes. His corn has several years taken the prize best in the state. He's experimented with it created a new kind. They've given it his name Morton corn. It seems corn is rather fascinating to work with very mutable stuff.
He and Alfred Vail experimented side by side in the making of the telegraph, and Vail eventually received a fortune for his share of the Morse patent. Thus it happened that young Theodore Vail learned the dramatic story of Morse at his mother's knee. As a boy, he played around the first telegraph line, and learned to put messages on the wire.
"Some time after this Nanahboozoo took a journey to view the new world he had made, and as he travelled he created various animals suitable for the different parts of the new world. He then experimented in making man. The first one he burnt too black, and was not satisfied. Then he tried again, and was no better pleased, as this one was too white.
Loring's letters on this subject: "Taming wild birds is a new field in nature study, and one never can tell what success he will have until he has experimented with different species. Some birds tame much more easily than others. On three or four occasions I have enticed a chickadee to my hand at the first attempt, while in other cases it has taken from fifteen minutes to a whole day.

One lad after another experimented on Peter and made as much of it as drawing a badger. He was often hurt, but he never uttered any cry. He gave rather more than he got, and lads going home in the afternoon could see him giving an account of the studies of the day to an admiring audience in the stable-yard.
It may fairly be said that this creature is more obedient to the will of the practical selectionist than any other with which we have experimented. It is commonly assumed that our pigs are among the least intelligent of the creatures which man has turned to his use.
"The experience of a professional storyteller with a group of boys, already assembled as a club, is also quoted for its valuable suggestion and independence of method in gaining the interest of boys who had been much experimented upon. "The most interesting experience I have had in a developed series of stories was with the Boys' Club of Greenwich, Connecticut, last year.
