POPPING CORN.
Why the Heat Literally Turns the

Why the Heat Literally Turns the
Grains Inside Out.
A grain of popcorn is filled with
tightly packed starch grains. The in
terror of the grain is divided into a
large number of cells, each of which
may be likened to a tiny box, the falls
whereof are sufficiently strong to with
stand considerable pressure from with
in. Upon the application of heat the
moisture present in each little box is
converted into steam that finally es-
capes by explosion.
To obtain a satisfactory popping
there is required a very high degree of
heat. This causes the greater part OF
the cells to explode simultaneously.
The grain of corn then literally turns
inside out and is transformed into a
relatively large mass of snow white
starch.
If corn be old and dry it will not
pop satisfactorily. A few cells near
the center of the grain may burst.

where they are attached to the cob,
the cells appear to be driest, and it
has been observed that these cells are

philosophical calm. AS news Of
state after state going for Wilson

c. p. Taft, where the President
received the returns, the national

BULL MOOSERS TO
CONTINUE THE FIGHT

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Official ad-
mission of the defeat of Bull Moose
candidates for president and vice
president were made shortly after
midnight last night by Senator Jos.
Dixon, chairman of the National Pro-
gressive party. Chairman Dixon
stated, however, that the fight had
only begun, and that, the Progressive
party would maintain permanent
headquarters during the next four
years and would again endeavor. to
lead the party to victory in 1916. He
issued a call for the national Progress
i've committee to meet at Chicago
Tuesday, Dec. /, to complete their
organization for congressional cleo
tions two years from this time.
Dixon's statement follows: THE
election returns tonight show that
more than four. million voters have
enlisted under the banner of the Pro-
gressive party. They have enlisted
for war Some of our most enthusi-
astic leaders had hoped that prob
ably this might have been 1860. 1t is
evidently 1856. The result Of yester-
days balloting makes the Progressive
party the dominapt opponent OF the
democratic party. Today the old
republican party became the third
party in American politics.
THE realignment of the voters of
the nation has become an accomplish
ed fact. We are going forward i'm
mediately with our plans to complete
our organization for the congressional
elections two years from this time.
l have issued a call for the Progress
i've national committee to meet at
Chicago on Tuesday, Dec. /. We have
also invited to the committee meeting
all the chairmen of the state commit
tees, the Progressive candidates for
governors at yesterdays election, and
other prominent Progressive leaders.
We expect to maintain permanent
headquarters during the coming four
years. The fight to drive special
privilege from American politics has
just begun"

He painted landscapes, and my aunt,

him to decorate our walls with rural

There were cows in every scene. and
Aunt Millie noticed that all the cows
were up to their knees in water. Not
one stood clear on the vivid green
hills.

man, "why do you always put the
cows in the water?'
