AFTER BLAINE, REED.
Meaning of That Now Noted

The Ex-Speaker Takes Up the Policy
of the Greatest Maine
Man.

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The utterances
of Ex-Speaker Reed, Senator Lodge. Rep
resentative Burrows, Representative Can
non ana other Republican leaders. ia favor
of free use of silver are regarded in
Congressional circles as a revival of the
plans and aspirations of James G. Blaine.
1t was well known that Mr.. Blaine's hopes
were to unite the nations of the Western
Hemisphere by means of intercon tinental
railroads, reciprocal treaties aud q COM
mon medium Of exchange.
Representative Hit of Illinois, who was
closely associated with Mr Blaine. saws
that the proposition of Mr. Reed is on the
lines of Mr.. Blaine's policy. The latter
was never fully spread before the public
as it had a scope which could be developed
only by patience and by slow stages. and
Mr.. Blaine's health during his latter DAYS
was not such as to permit him to accom-
plish the ends he had In view.
"Mr. Reed now presents the proposition
with dIrectness," said Mr.. Hit. "where.
as Mr. Blaine proposed passive steps
which tended toward the same general
results. 1t was Mr.. Blaine's belief that
the nations of the Western Hemisphere
should be reciprocally united in their COM
mercial dealings, in their money, in their
railroads and all lines of action which
would make them stIeng against the rest
of the world. Most of the southern re-
publics were ready for mutual action on
silver, as they are silver-using countries.
but they were not yet ready for the dis.
eliminating tariffs which would cut them
off from the import duties on which they
largely depend. The reciprocity treaties
were step in the direction of that mutual
cooperation. Mr.. Blaine's speeches be-
fore the Pan-American Conference dis
closed that his policy embraced united ac-
ton on silver, on the tariff and on all
subjects In which the western nations had
common purposes
A great deal of significance is sjyen the
Reed interview by many public Men here.
For several months there has been grow
Ing sentiment among Republican members
in favor of liberal policy toward silver.
Among Mr.. Reeds most intimate and con-
slant associates in the House of late have
been Representativ Newlands of Nevada
and Representative Sweet of Idaho, who
ara radical supporters of silver. The ex-
Speaker has made a study of the silver
question from the standpoint of the miner

why Popcorn Pops.

Why does popcorn pop? Ask the first
twenty learned men you can find, and
not one Of them will be able to tell you.
The secret lies in the structure of the
grain. which Is very wonderful indeed.
In the center Of each grain of popcorn
Is the germ" OF the future plant. 1t
holds The vital element Of the seed.
What is it like! Well, it is about tn e
size OF large pin head. Its outer coat is
a membrane Of woody matter, inside Of
which is an oily substance containing
nitrogen and phosphorus. Embedded in
this oily substance is the nucleus"
The nucleus" is the true germ--the
essential life-pnnciple Of the seed. 1t is
chiefly composed OF albumen, and is just
big enough to be seen with the naked eve.
Small as 1t is, it contains mystery which
no man has ever solved, or is ever likely
to solve-the mighty secret OF reproduce
ton. However, there are more things of
interest to be noticed ia the outer struct-
ure OF the popcorn grain.
OF starch. arranged in layers and 30 regu-
larly placed as to resemble crystalline
structure. In fact, like crystals. though
they are not such, these granules possess
the peculiar property Of "polarizing'
light. Seen under the microscope, they
have very beautiful germs. Between
each two layers OF them is woody mem
braae, and covering the whole is the hard
external en- velope of the corn grain. COM
posed OF woody matter with large pro-
portion OF mineral substances, such as
lime, silex, potash and magnesia.
Think what an amazing quantity Of
nutritious food is thus packed in little
space for the use Of the embryo plant,
which first absorbs the nitrogen and phos-
phorous contained in the so-called germ"
envelope, afterwards consuming the
starch, and 30 getting strong and ready to
sprout.
A popcorn grain has precisely the same
structure as grain OF ordinary corn. 1t
is simply variety of the same species Of
plant.
Why, then, will not the common corn
pop? 1t will do 80, as you can find ont
for yourself by trying; but it does not
pop nearly SO well, though now and then
y grain will do excellently The reason
is that the starch granules in popcorn
are packed more tightly, and the woody
membranes between their layers are thin
ner and more easily ruptured. Heat
causes the water that is in the starch to
expand the external envelope is burst
open, and the grain turns inside out, be-
coming fifteen times its original size
or more, and showing the pretty white
starch outside.
That is the reason why porcorn pops.
The best popcorn is the light yellow
kind, with small pointed grains. A
story is told of Massachusetts farmer
who had barn half filed with popcorn
newly harvested and ''shucked" The
building caught fire. the popcorn popped
and an enormous wave of it rolled down
hill, covering up the farm house 30 that
only the chmneys were to be seen. and
the family had to be dug out by the
naighbors with show shovels..
