With reference to the fiftieth ami
versary of the first railway in France,
a French contemporary points out
that it was in connection with this
event that the virtues Of pommes souf-
fles were discovered. A French chef
was travelling on the new line from
Paris to ST German, and was pre-
pairing in the train the banquet which
was to celebrate the opening. Just be-
fore arriving at St. German he threw
some potatoes in the boiling butter.
The train however, was delayed, and
the potatoes had to be taken out
again When the train restarted the
potatoes were once again put in the
boiling butter, and to every ones de-
light were found, on being taken out,
to be deliciously light and inflated.

fe had been revealed. London Globe
