CORN MEAL IN FRANCE.
Hints to American Exporters Of This
Product

The Introduction Of American corn meal
and hominy in France is the subject Of
report to the State Department by Consul
Haynes at Rouen. For years." he says,
1.-The United States tried to acQuaint Euro
pean countries with corn and its products.
but as far as France is concerned made
little Roadway.
THE corn meal sold here is not as good
as that sold in the United States. It is too
coarse and hard. Our exporters send this
kind for its better appearance. perhaps:
but the result Is a very fine hominy instead
OF meal. Besides, the yellow product Is
packed separately from the white. hence
a loss OF the better taste obtained by grind
ing together. Further. from a French
standpoint It is not only tnartisttcally
packed, but in some cases. fmperfectiy 30
It Is usually put up in two-pound paste
board boxes. through the mucilaged OR
glued ends Of which the contents often i'll
ter. These boxes retail at % cents To
this price, II ordered from Paris-as is nee
essary In this city and throughout this dis
trict-freight must be added. The reason
for such an exorbitant price is not easy to
see, since the tarifr entrance on meal IS
only 965 cents per 100 Kilograms GEO. 40
pounds), making the duty on a two-pound
box actually less than mills.
Another reason why corn meal has not
found favor in France is that the efforts
made for its introduction were made to get
the middle and weather. classes to like 1t
instead Of the working people. The direc-
tons. printed exclusively in English. ek-
plain the making OF johnny cakes. griddle
cakes corn-meal mush and gems; but corn
bread. to which use IS per cent of the con-
sumption In the United States is put, to
serve with the vegetable course, Is not
mentioned.
1.-THE French desire economical food. but
1t must be nourishing. and they know the
most nourishing is the cheapest. What
better fulfills these conditions than corn
and its products? But before 1t ranks in
France with eggs. cheese, butter. wheat
bread. and such food. upon which the PEG
pie now principally hpe It must be ground
and packed differently and sold at least 50
per cent cheaper. II these conditions are
fulfilled and the matter is pushed so that
the working classes can become acquainted
with the value of corn bread as a nutritive
and economical accompaniment Of all their
vegetable dishes. there will be such
wholesale business done as to make the
amount now sold but a dribbie.
American grits. which are sold in few
cities outside Of Paris. are OF a good quail
ity, packed in four and one-half and g.
pound sacks inartistically but securely tied.

ALCOHOL FROM AcETYLENE.
Result Of, Recent Experiments in
France.

John c.. Covert. the American consul at
Lyons. France. writes from that city that
a Paris savant.i Mr.. Berthelet. succeeded
in obtaining 'ethylic alcohol from acetylene
in $780, but as at that time the Cowles
electric furnace which is now used in pro-
ducing acetylene. had not been invented,
the basic material was so expensive that
the discovery attracted but little atten-
ton
A well known chemist now tells him that
since the invention Of the electric furnace
by Eugene and Alfred Cowles it Is prob
able that carbure Of calcium can be pro-
duced so cheaply as to greatly reduce the
price Of alcohol. At present carbure Of
calcium is sold in France for $685. ton.
from which can be produced ITO pounds of
acetylene-equal to about 2114 Kallons Of
alcohol of 90 degrees. Therefore, alcohol
obtained by this method would cost about
81 per hectoliter t28.417 gallons); counting
the waste and incidental expenses, 1t Is be-
lieyed that industrial alcohol made from
acetylene would cost not less than 50 per
hectoliter Mr.. George Claude Of Paris.
specialist In this line. calculates the price
at 81 per hectolher.
Many experiments are being made in this
field 1t 10 proposed to use the carbure Of
barium instead Of acetylene but this Is
still in the domain Of speculation and moth
ing positive can be said Of 1t.
