The launch turned back to the wharf
where it had been lying.
Charka felt that he was safe, and as
there was Il slight breeze he raised his
sail. He had but one thing more to fear,
he reasoned and that was a Russian
gunbOat. Boatloads Of hay were not in
frequent on the Caspian, and he felt
assured that it would not be difficult to

Under sail the boat made better prog

WHY CRUST IS BROWN.
Heat Turns Starch in the Flour Into
Dextrine-Middle of Loaf
Boiled.

Wheat will not grow ut sea level
within the tropics. Yet it is a
curious fact that the further from
the poles within the temperate
zone the wheat field lies the better
the flour it produces, says an ex-
change.
Wheat grown in the far north
has more starch and less gluten
than that raised in a warmer eli
mate, and that is the reason why
the latter is worth more as food.
Flour, like wine and tobacco,
improves by keeping-at least, for
a short period. Ii used at once
after being ground it does not
make good bread. 1t is at its best
when about three months old.
Old flour which has begun to de-
teriOrate may yet be made into ex-
cellent bread by mixing it half and
half with newer -four. Old tleur
requires more water for mixing
into dough than new.
The ordinary temperature for
an oven in large bakery is 450
degrees to $50 degrees; but, in
spite of this high degree of heat,
il is fact that the interior of a
loaf of bread is rather boiled than
baked.
When fresh from the oven it still
contains 30 to 40 per cent. of water.
The starch and gluten inside the
loaf are cooked by boiling. If the
temperature were sufficiently high
to bake the loaf right through all
the starch would be turned into
deXtrine.
1t is this baked starch which
gives to the crust its nutty-brOwn
color. Dextrine also gives to the
crust its pleasant flavor.
Most people imagine that salt
is used simply TO make bread more
palatable. But it also performs
another duty. 1t makes the dough
rise more freely. If, however, too
much salt be used, it retards fer
mentatiOn. and makes the bread
sad" New flour requires more
salt than old.
Wheat injured by wet weather
during harvest may be much inn
proved by kiln drying. But wheat
that has sprOuted in the field be-
fore threshing can never make
good -four.

years labor, has just been com

their claim to il copy for nearly ten
times the original subscription if
they feel inclined to do so. Ten
copies were printed on yellum, and
two years ago the subscription for
4 copy was 5000. The price today
for Il copy is 81 800, which was OBJ
tanned by one of the original sub,
scribers quite recently, says Il
book exchange.
An edition de luxe of Shelley's
poems was subscribed for not long
ago at $3.50 per copy. The volume
took some six months to prepare,
and 80 copies were issued. Some
months after the edition came out,
one of the subscribers disposed OF
two copies at the remunerativt
figure of $500.
Not long since, a well-known
dealer, bought up the whole of al
elaborate edition Of Millions

100 voumes, each costing the deal
