Why Popcorn Pops.

Why does popcorn pop2 The De-
partment of Agriculture answers the
question, which was propounded to it
by a small boy. Popcorn pops by
reason Of the volatiization of the oil
contained in the kernel by heat. Field
corn does not pop because the outer por'
ton of the kernel is more porous, per-
hitting the escape Of the oil as it volatil-
ICES, while in the case of popcorn a
great pressure is developed in the kerr
mel by the confined oil and the kernel
is suddenly exploded, and turned wrong
side out 1t is very considerate of the
Agricultural Department, observes the
Boston Herald, thus to CRAFTY little
boys thirst for useful knowledge. 1t
pleases the little boys and it enlightens
the bigger ones.

TACOMA WILL De
CROWDED JULY 4

Tacoma will be full town on the
Fourth of July if the expectations of the
celebration association are not more than
half realized. A conservative estimate
places the number of people who will
be here during the celebration at 25,0C0.
To properly care for so large a crowd will
tax the citys hospitality to the utmost,
and TO the end that the accommodations
may be equal to the demand the question
OF feeding and housing the visitors is now
being taken up.
As usual thing, Tacoma hotel and
restaurant men are kept busy with their
local and transient trade, and to add to
that 25.00O people who want to be well
fed and otherwise cared for will tax them
Ia the utmost. There is no question,
however. in the minds of the committee
hut that some arrangements will be made
to properly care for the throngs of cele-
orators.
A meeting of all the restaurant men of
the CITY is 10 be called soon to consider
the question of feeding the crowds on
the three days of the celebration Ihe
residents of the North and South ends will
Aock to the business part OF the city on
the morning of the Fourth, and it is
thought that when the parade is started
fully 10000 people will be assembled in
