A Tilted Maiden.

When ex-Mayor John Boyd Thacher
was touring in Egypt he CHANGED 10 OBJ
serve in a museum at Bolak finely pre-
served mummy of a young girl. So per-
feet was tho retention of all that had been
tenderly laid away in those mighty mauso-
leums of the Nile country that the out
lines of the fowery garlands which had
been wreathed about her fair form 1000
years before were still easily discernible.
Remembering the Albany Historical and
Art Association with its embryo museum
on the corner of State and Hawk streets,
our generous fellcw townsman at once,
after some patient negotiation, succeeded
in purchasing the mummy. Leaving his
new acquisition to be called for, the ex-
Mayor journeyed on, but had not alto
gether abandoned the region before he
heard that the Historical and Art Asso-
citation. finding the local populace unap-
preciative and disinclined either to hav
their higher tastes cultivated or to sup
port the institution so carefully planned
and prov ded for, had r.tired from bust
ness.
The energetic ex-Mayor was in guam
Diary. He did not want to stretch his
hospitality to the extent OF inviting even
an attractive maiden mummy to take a
permanent seat 1T his Preside, be she
never so undem on strdtive and self-pos-
sc ssed. Moreover, he didn't feel like
bringing her carefully over aud turning
her loose upon the streets, for as he pa
thetically remarked, there are enough
mummies in Albany as it is" Ultimate
~ he was able without much trouble, for
the museum authorities had Tepented OF
their bargain, to recall his mummy

The Science OF Pom Corn.

In what condition is the starchy in
terror of the grain just before it explodes?
The common experience of the kitchen
and laundry will help us here. In max
ing up the mixture for stiffening the
clothes, the laundress puts starch into
the water and boils it. and we all know
that in this process the starch loses its
powdery character and becomes blended
with the water into a pasty, translucent
mass. The effect upon the individual
starch granule is a softening and consid-
cradle increase of its bulk, and finally its
rupture and diffusion through the water.
While We cannot see the inside of the
grain at the critical moment when it has
oil but burst, We may, in view of what We
now. know, probably sunrise the truth.
Is it not very likely that, MS the grain
gets hotter and hotter, the moisture pres
ent in the cells. or in the starch granules
themselves, softens them first, and then
when the heat becomes TOO great TO per-
NIT its remaining in the fluid state, it
suddenly turns TO steam, and the now
plastic starch expands in every direction,
forming the little vescicle' :, losing at the
same TIM, of course, the moisture, and
thus becoming firm and brittle again?
This is the conclusion to which have
been brought, and think of the wonder
