LITERARY NOTES.


THAT literary ability is Inherited would
seem to be fact. judging by the list of
contributors to the June st. Nicholas. In-
terest In the capital story, "IIunting the
Puma" Is increased by the fact that the
nuthor-illustrator IL a 1T-year-od lad and
the grandson of Edwin Booth; Ethel

lad of the old Puritan days, Is the
daughter of James Parton, the noted his

the woods In June, Is the daughter of
Laura Il. Richards. famous as the a,i-

A Word of Timely Warning. /.

r T is AN interesting commentary
on political conditions in Penn
Il sylvania that some OF those who
are supporting the candidacy of
Judge Pennypacker. on the high moral
plane that he is a clean and able man
whose selection would re-unite the par
ty also predict his nomination because
they say that delegates instructed or
pledged to John Elkin will be induced
to desert his colors. 1t is we'll known
that agents of Senator Quay are now at
work trying to dctach from Elkn man
elected in his interest. Even so high
toned an advocate of reform as the
Philadelphia Press concludes an edi-
torial review Of the state canvass with
these words: "Elkin will be from fifty
to seventy votes short when the conven-
ton meets. When the ballot is taken
he is likely to be short still more than
that"
If there is any meaning in this QUO
tatlon; IL there is any truth in the
widely circulated reports that dele
gates In Chester. Blair and other coun-
ties instructed for I,lkin are being So
llcited to jump their instructions it
means that the Pennypacker move
ment, having its main strength in Dur
hams machine-controlled Philadelphia
delegation, issto be patched out in con-
vention, If possible, by subornation
and perfidy, ,ghe Philadelphia Inquirer
asserts that iit,has heard OF three diff
ferent instances where agents of the
combine which, is pushing Penpypa cker
have made temptlngsoFsrssto ms tructed
delegates. Ir>those Instances the offers
were rejected. Agents of the combine,
however, are continuing their quest
and they appeay tQ. be acting under nu-
thority. We cheerfully acqult Judge
Pennypacker Of any knowledge or part
in this campaign of prostitution. The
responsibility rests elsewhere.
John Elkin has never posed as a re-
former He Is. not posing as one now.
But neither hesnor any agent OF his is
trying to get any delegate instructed for
his opponent to violate good faith. The
delegates who have been elected with
out Instructions are proper subjects of
proselyting. The supporters OF MIR. Ell

as they can, and we think that, in spite
of the wealthy combine which is oppos-

as affected by heat. He found that more
than 60 articles rich in starch could be
made to pop like corn. When popped
they were notceably improved for food
purposes.
For instance, DR.. Anderson pops po-
tatoes, then subjects them to an Inn
mense hydraulic pressure, from which
they emerge as white cakes, not unlike
soap; these cakes will last for long
| time in any climate: and when you

bulk and makes delicate food that
actually melts away when placed upon
the tongue"
| The old theory was that corn popped
because moisture contained within the
air. tight covering of the kernel was by
| heat converted into steam and eXplod-
ed. Dr. Anderson's experiments prove
| that this is only partly true. Instead
of the explosion Of the kernel being
caused by the bursting of the individ-
ual starch cells. the phenomenon is
caused by the bursting of the outer en-
velope of the kernel, thus suddenly re-
lieving the pressure generated by the
heat acting upon the moisture con-
tanned in the grain.
This called" says the Herald article,
"for three factors in a demonstration
heat, pressure and sudden release of
pressure. The next step was the con-
structon of a steel cylinder, which, on
a large scale, would represent the en-
velope of the popcorn kernel In this
cylinder We're placed pieces of raw po-
tato and the receptacle was closed ana
submitted to an interior pressure of
three or four atmospheres. Heat above
22O degrees Fahrenheit was applied for
IL time and then the pressure was sud-
denly released. The result proved be-
yond peradventure the truth of the
theory, for there gushed up into the
cylinder a snow white toothsome mass
of popped potato, as light as pith, but
containing all the nutrition of the orig
inal tuber Similar tests were applied
| to small balls of -four and water. Upon
the release of the pressure they popped
out into full fledged biscuit, as light as
| feathers and wholly free from the fer
mented leavening which has made so
many dSspeptics."
A company, is to be formed and this
discovery commercalized, but in the
long run it will no doubt become pub
lie property. Considering the ills that
physicians charge to the account of an
excess of starch in the human diet, If
this method shall render the starch
more digestible it will constitute. con-
siderable boon to suffering humanity.

The anarchist conference held in Ber-

WEEKLY MARKET REVIEW.
Some Decline in CottOn-Grain Mar
kets Generally Firmer.

Some DecIipe in CottOn-Grain Mar
kets Generally Firmer.
The cotton market was active early
and declined rather sharply owing to
the bureau report on Tuesday. July
sold at Sc Monday morning, but weak
ness Immediately set in on anticipation
of favorable report. These expecta-
tions were realized, for the acreage was
put at about the same as last year,
while the condition was called 1851.
The failure to announce a decrease in
the acreage was disappointing to
many, and caused a further decline,
July touching S.59e, which was low
point for the week. The decline in the
new crop months amounted to about
% points, about half of which was
subsequently regained these showed
slightly more steadiness latterly, ow-
ing to some little talk of dry weather
in a part of the belt At the close
July was 20 points lower. at S6Sc; Au-
gust % points lower, at 8.4Sc; Septem>
Der 16 points lower, at sole; October
Is points lower, at 7.S7c.
The Chronicle makes the acreage 2
per cent. less than last year; it is,
however, very possible that sufficient
allowance has not been made for land
prepared last season. but later aban-
doned. Crop accounts are still rosy,
yet are liable to change now at any
time Hence the market may have
gone off sufficiently for the present
outlook, but if no unfavorable turn
comes in the course of the ensuing two
or three weeks a further break is to be
expected.
Wheat was quiet, an early decline
of about 1c having been recovered.
July closed 72Ac; September closed
sc higher, at NE. Late weather has
not been very favorable, there being
excessive rains all through the wheat
region, spring and winter. with dam
age from floods. July corn closed 1%c
higher, at 631se. July oats were strong,
making a rather unexpected advance
of over &c to 1880. finally closing 212c
higher, at 39Ac. This was partly due
to uneasness of July shorts over the
successful corner in May; but July
corner is a different proposition alto
gether, especially thus early Very
likely it will be found out that Patten
has been skillfully assisting the mar
ket in order to get rid of some or his
May deliveries. AT an rate, 4Oc is an
extravagant- price for July oats, with
the new crop coming in.
The bureau report in grain crops
will be out Tuesday afternoon 1t is
unlikely that this will be bearish as
far as wheat is concerned, for 1t should
show a large decrease in the spring
wheat acreage, and a general condi-
tiOn materially below that of last year.
If looks. therefore, as if wheat ought
to be bought on Monday or Tuesday.
