ABOUT COMMON THINGS
The Long Road Travelled by Bowl of Starch

= TARCH is usually associated in our
minds with the thought of wash
day. stiff collars, shining shirt
waists and linen; or, perhaps, if it is
cornstarch, with a dish of pudding
1t is most interesting thing to go
back along the road over which the box
of starch has Travelled and find where
it had its beginning
We have some very skiliful chemists
who prepare this necessary article for
our use. All day long they are at
their work; the first ray of sunshine
calls them from sleep, and immediately
they set to work filing their storage
houses from which ne are to draw for
our needs. Only as they work stead
lily and wen can we be certain of a
good and sufficient supply. Our friends,
the plants, are the chemists upon
whom we depend for this common
necessity.
All plants are formed largely of cells.
In these cells is found a variety of
substances, but in all kinds of plants
except fungi there is starch Busy
chemists; we see no hands and no
brains for thinking. yet they reach out
and take the sunlight into these little
cells and there, we can not see how
they separate It into the different sub
stances OF which it is made, keep what
they need and throw out the rest. Rhen
they store away these substances to
feed upon while they are growing
What interests US more just now is the
fact that most of this which is stored
away is starch. From it they weave
their delicate green leaves so beautiful
to see, and upon it they feed for all
their growing
But these chemists can not work
without the aid OF the sunshine If
plant is kept in the dark, the starch

disappears entirely from it's leaves. Lay
piece of tinfoil upon a leaf and the
covered portion stores no starch, al
though the uncovered part may be
filled with it. II part of a leaf is re-
moved from a plant before sunrise.
no starch is found in it, but the other
half still remaining becomes more and
more filled as long as the sun shines.
The same leaf will contain different
quantities of starch at different periods
of the day. according to the weather.
Sometimes. too all that is formed dur
ing the day is used up by the plant
during the night.
AS you see, starch is not made in
the beginning by man; he only sets it
free from the storage cells of the
plants.
A handful of starch looks like a
white powder, but if you rub it be-
tween your fingers it feels harsh. and
the microscope shows that it consists
of grains The starch in one plant is
the same as the starch in another but
each has its own individual method of
storage. The potato has large round
grains with considerable space between
filled with water. Rice has very small
grains, with angular corners fitting
closely together; that is why rice is so
hard. Wheat has hard shiny outer
coat to keep out the weather, and the
starch is in the very heart of it,
Some plants have more than others;
sago. arrowroot and tapioca are almost
clear starch
There are different ways of freeing
the starch from the plant One is to
soak the storage house-wheat, rice,
potato or whatever it may be-in water
for several days until it becomes soft
and swells, and the starch is separated
from the other contents Then this
water is drawn of, fresh water Is
added. the whole mass stirred for a
time and left to settle and theSwater

is again drawn off, At last the clear
clean starch settles to the bottom and
is taken out and dried on plaster of
paris slabs or in great ovens. when
it is ready for the laundry. Potatoes
are sometimes grated and the pulp is
washed and allowed TO settle.
In some factories inclined planes are
used for drying and the starch settles
on these in an-almost pure state. 9th
ers make use of a whirling machine
from which the water flies out. leaving
the starch dry and white against the
sides Sometimes our common white
flour is used in preparing starch 1t is

were going to make bread; after stand

over which water coalstantly flows
This washes out all the starch, and
what remains is good for food.
If you wish to try a simple expert

IT on a crater over a glass OF water
You will have milky solution. and
presently a white deposit. which Is the

A Domesticated Rat

A Connecticut man being annoyed by
a huge rat which persisted in making
away with chicken feed and pretty
much everything else that it found in
the barn loft, set a trap for the ma
rauder. The trap was a new tangled
affair, baited with a nice piece of
toasted cheese, but~the rat was too
cunning. so an old fashioned steel
pronged trap was buried under the
chaff in the well worn path from under
the hay and the new trap pushed aside
The old rat was caught the first night
and killed, and no one thought of the
other trap for three weeks When the
farmers boy went TO look for il, a
mass OF stuff in the center attracted
his attention, and. on examination IL
was found that a couple of half grown
rats had found their way into it. ana
had settled down TO make the best or
the situation. They had drawn In
through the spaces at least two quarts
Of chaff and bits OF hay and had gone
to house keeping. They looked sur
prised at being disturbed. and the
farmer Is now exhibiting them as spe-
cimens of contentment under din

A Description of the Libyan
Desert
HELEN HICKMAN.
1890 vallejo street, Berkeley

When you enter the Libyan desert
you see the rock lodges and the banks
of shingle. the level wastes of sand and
the she'll drifts bleaching in the hot
sun, bones of ancient sea monsters and
the mOnstrOus skeletons of ancient
giants strewn over the ancient sea
floor.
Out of the north come the sand
storms. blood red pillars blotting out
the MONDAY sun. Then the gale is
over. For miles and miles you can see
the endless stretches OF sand. Then
after a long time you come upon an
oasis. we'll and palm trees.
How delicious the water tastes after
your hot, dusty journey. Then, per-
haps, you fancy you see a lake in the
distance. but when you come TO 1t. II
has vanished. and there is only the
burning sand.
Then you come upon the shining Nile
with the beautiful palms and stretches
OF grass So on and on you go. ever
seeing something new and strange.

But supposin' you were greedy
And you laid awake to think
How very good il tasted till
It made you drink and drink.
And then suppose that you arose
And, stealing down the stairs.
Two pieces great you cut and ate
Right after saying prayers.
As softly you crept into bed
All covered with a sheet
You never thought how bad you were,
But slept with that deceit.

And standing you upon his thumb
He c2Iled his one eyed cat
And SAID. Here is fruit cake boy

And then the nightmare smiling said.
Perhaps it IS absurd,
But you must share him with the witch
Because | gave my word"
The witch appeared with shining knife,
She started for your head,
But as it touched your throat you shrieked,
And found yourself in bed

That you'd be wicked and deceive.
