AN AUTOMATIC CORN TOPPER.

From the New York Commercial.
 Corn popped by an automatic pepper Is exciting the curious in Indianapolis An electric motor furnishes the power for the machine although a steam engine may be used. The sheled corn Is butter ed and <salted by the machine before be- ing popped in the hopper proper, where the cross-movement of the shaftlike plate or hopper keeps the corn in motion until 1t Is popped. It then falls below Into a compartment, from which 1t may be scooped up by the operator and put into bags. The machine Is of such simple device that a child ten or twelve years old may operate it. The machine is of light weight and conveniently portable It is the intention of the inventor and owner of the machine, Daniel H. Talbert, of Indianapolis. to have a specially de- signed wagon containing one of these machines in the streets within the next thirty days.
