PUTTING THE "Pop" IN CORN.


Nature has filled a grain of pop
corn with tightly packed staJ'cH
grains. The interior OF the grain is
divided into a large number OF cells
each Of which may be llkened to tin
box the walls of which are sufficient
~ strong to withstand consdera bic
pressure from within. Upon the APP
plication of heat the moisture present
in each little box is converted into
steam that finally escapes by eXplo-
sion. In some cases the explosions are
of great force,
A very high degree of heat is re-
quired for satisfactory popping. This
causes most 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.
