SECTION o. WHEAT KERNEL

tention to these points. breadmaking
is really a very simple process. With
out this knowledge or attention there
will ever be mystery and uncertainty
about II, and there will always be In
different results.
There are only four ingredients alb
solutely necessary for the making OF
a loaf Of raised wheat bread. They
are good bread -four. fresh yeast,
liquid-either milk or water-and salt
Other ingredients are often used, but
they are not necessary. For instance.
shortening is sometimes added. This
makes richer loaf. Sugar. too. may be
used in small quantity. This hastens
the growth of the yeast plants. Potato
water occasionally replaces the milk
or water and makes a moist loaf. while
potatoes and hop water form mixture
in which the yeast colonies are quickly
started. But good bread can be made
without the addition of any of these
things.
Flour Used In 8readmakins.
In order that we may have a well
raised light loaf II is necessary to use
a tour containing a large per cent Of
gluten. This Is the -four made from
the so called hard" wheats. Such
-four has less water than the -four
made from the soft" wheat. therefore.
mixed with a liquid. gives a larger
loaf Gluten IL grayish. rubber-like
substance found In -four after the
starch has been washed out. II Is the
gum" obtained from chewing a hand
full OF wheat. ms known by most people
who have spent their childhood In the
country. This very character OF glu-
ten makes II accessory in breakmak-
ing. II stretches and stretches, form
ing little pockets In which the gas Is
retained In the loaf until Il is baked
The heat Of the oven bardens the glu-
ten quickly before II has had time to
relax, and so the loaf keeps its pulled
shape.
Good bread -four should be white.
with Just suggestion Of yellow. Aft
er being pressed In the hand II should
fall loosely apart. II II keeps the i'm
press OF the palm or remains in Jumps
II has too much moisture. When rub
bed between the thumb and finger
there should be a slight grittiness; II
should not feel too smooth or pow,
derry.
What 10 Yeast7
This useful agent In breadmaking is
as old as the hills, and its action Is
better understood when one is familiar
with II. Yeast is microscopic plant.
consisting OF a single round or oval
cell. The rapidly with which Il grows
and reproduces itself gives II much Of
Its Importance. II reproduces either
by sending out buds which break OF
as new plants or by forming spores
which will grow into new plants under
favorable conditions.
Like all plants. yeast requires heat.
moisture and food In order to grow.
The degree Of heat at which II grows
best is from 70 10 90 degrees. and this
Is the temperature at which bread
should be kept throughout the process
OF making. II II were not for the liq-
aid used IN breadmaklng the yeast
would not have sufficient moisture and
would not grow any more than Il does
n the dry cake.
The food OF the yeast plant is sugar,

EDWARD -. MALONE, a reporter on :" he

heart. GLADYS Hungcrton, that she desired
above all things to marry man OF deedS, ana
would have nothing to do with him Scntimcn-
,.u,. iii me had become such an individual In
dcspair he asked his paper for special mission
that would enable him To distinguish himself.
He was given the assignment to interview Pro-
fc,sor George Edward Challenger, famous SCI
enlist who had returned from South America
t,co wears previously with the announcement
that ne had discovered some prehistoric mon
stcrs. and showed alleged pictures OF them. His
statements were received with dcrSlon by the
entire scientific world; and the professor who
was exceedingly bcgcrcnt, refused to have
ANYTHING more to do with his fellow scientists
and physically assaulted anybody that at
tempted to question him.
Malone called on Challenger: but was kicked
out Of the house On account Of his sportsman
shin in refusing to have the professor arrested
however. the latter invited him in again, and
told the story Of his experiences IN South Amer
ic. with such apparent vcraclty that the news
n,pcr man became an enthusiastic believer.
NJ IN exceedingly turbulent meeting Of the
Zoolopical Institute, Professor SummcrIcc "a
veteran SCIENTIST, Sir John RoXton "a famous
hunter and travclcrD, and Malone volunteered
