KclucnthiR Ihiropo to Appreciate n ( looil
Thine.
New York Commercial : We have before -
fore us documents allowing the olTorts
that htivo recently been making by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture to Introduce moro widely in Europe
the use ns human food of the various
products of our great staple Indian corner
or innizc.
Our oxportationsof corn have hitherto
been on the smallest scale , not above 4
per cent of our annual product. And.
oven this limited Import has not bcon
used in Europe as food for man. It is
fed to horses , cattle and fowls or else
distilled into spirits.
Against its use as a human food Ihero
has always existed In Europe a strong
and inexplicable prejudice. When it is
remembered over how wide an area of
this country corn in its multifarious
forms ranks among the necessaries of
.life , and oven in some of Its prepara
tions as n real if cheap luxury , it is
Imrd to undordtaniT how it happens
that oven severe nnd constant want has
so fnr failed to drive to its use pcoplo
of the same race as ourselves. It will
bo remembered that in the days of the
terrible potato famine in Ireland more
than a generation ago oven starvation
failed to popularize among the Irish an
article of food which is so highly prized
throu.frbout BO broad an area in this
country.
No doubt ignorance of the proper
methods of preparing corn meal for the
table lias had much to do with the un
popularity of this cdiblo in Europe. It
is used to some extent in Spain and.
Franco , und in Italy polenta Anglico ,
mush is a highly prized dish , though
made from a grain much inferior in
quality to the American nrticla But
elsewhere in Europe it is a practically
unknown article , oven on the tables of
the very poor.
But an olTort on the part of our Agri
cultural department has been going for
ward for some time to sot before Europe
the advantage of acquiring n taste lor
this extremely abundant und nutritious
and , to BO ma'ny Americans , extremely
palatable food. Of this Indian corn
propaganda Special Agent Charles J.
Murphy has been put in charge , nnd his
zeal nnd intelligence have justified thn
wisdom of his choice. Ho has shown in
n number of citic ? nnd countries how the
various products of maize should bo pre
pared , and by distributing those pro
ducts gratis or at a nominal price dissi
pated somewhat of the unjust prejudice
that exists against our great staple.
Just nt present Mr. Murphy's most
promising Hold of oporatloas is in Ger
many , where n number of mills have
been pat in operation , and find it ns
much ns they can do to 1111 orders. The
plan adopted there is to mix one-third
corn meal with two-thirds rye flour ,
whereby n great lowering of price is
alTcctod" without any marked deteriora
tion in quality. By moans of this en
tering wedge the demand , for corn meal
is rapidly increasing in Germany.
It is hardly worth wlnlo to call atten
tion to the importance of this movement
to our far'nora. If once the people of
Europe could bo made to see the merits
of a grain whoso price is often BO low
that it is used for fuel iu the west , there
would bo nn nnd to grumbling on the
part of our tillers of the sell. For , ac
cording to Secretary Rusk's estimate , a
rise of merely 5 cents a bushel would
result in adding in ono decade the
sturtlincr sum of 81,000,000.000 to the
value of tbo corn crop in this country.

SUBMARINE NAVIGATION.
Jules Verne's Urcam ltcilr/e : < l by n Detroit
Inventor.
The dream of Jules Verne has been
realized. A submarine boat such ns ho
drew from his vivid imagination was
given its first thorough trial in sub
marine navigation at Detroit recently.
The electric battery had already boon
charged when three men stopped down
through the conning tower and closed
ever the water tight cover. Insldo the
boat was lighted by incandescent lights.
At first the boat wont along the surface
toward the Detroit rlvor. Then the
requisite amount of water was lot into
the water spaces , the lover that con
trolled the propellers was turned , nnd
it boaan to go down. The sensation was
peculiar , there being a fooling like
that which comes to a povico
on a toboggan slide , but this soon
passed away , and there was almost a de
light in the novelty. The lookout from
the conning tower was Interesting. The
Deut went slowly at first , but soon In
creased the speed to ten miles an hour.
The boat having the same spoclllo grav
ity as the water , and baing cons true ted
on lines that gave the least resistance ,
could go ahead , down or up as easily ay
a tlsh , being able to go faster under
water than on the surface. The tests
were continued at some length , and the
boat way submerged several times un
der dltTornnt circumstances. The ex
periments showed that the peculiarly
constructed propellers were admirably
adapted for submerging1 the boat aiu
for raising it to the surface , responding
instantly to the pilot's touch. It wai
also shown that in sinking or rising the
hull was kept In a porloctly homonta
position. George C > Bakcr'of Chicago
the Inventor of this nameless submarine
boat , Ilrst conceived the Idea of ills in
vention in Sun Francisco.
Mr. Baker constructed a small model
which worked satisfactorily , nnd In December -
comber , 18S1) ) , ho lev a contract for his
submarine bout to the Detroit Boat
works of Detroit , Mich. The work of
construction was necessarily slow , as
everything was now and experimental.
Sometimes mouths would pass without
visible progress , but till this time sug
gestions were being hiado and worked
upon , The chief delay was in tlio mo
tive power , which had to bo adapted to
untried conditions. Mr. Baker ciuno
over from Chicago as often as possible to
superintend the work , and finally , after
nearly two yoare , the hull , which then
contained nothing but the boiler and
on gin us , was launched at the foot of
Orleuiis street , Detroit , last October. _
