May 6 Ont or the most notable functions
that hue taken place t the Worlds fair.
Informal In nature, but gorgeous In ap
pointment, wn the dedication and open
Ins of the Chines pavilion today. Not
only was It elaborately attractive, but It
was marked with significant expressions
from the high Chinese official! preaent,
tending to Indicate that the relations be
tween China and the United flutes have
been drawn Into a closer alliance through
the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
Officials of the World a fair responded
with the assurances that the United Btalea
deeply appreciated the hearty participa
tion In tha exposition by the Chinese gov
ernment and toast were drunk to the
health of the president of the United States
and the emperor of China, and the era
press dowager.
The feeling of International friendliness
was first touched upon by President D. R.
Francis of the exposition, when, raising a
glass of champagne, he proposed the fol
lowing toast:
'1 am sure t express the sentiment of
ths commissioners and the guests assem
bled when I ask that we be permitted to
drink to the long life snd prosperity of
the emperor of China and th empress
dowager."
Raters Are Toasted,
The toast was responded to by Prince
Pu Lun, Imperial Chinese commissioner,
his sentiment being Interpreted by Vies
' Commissioner General Wang Kal Kah.
Prince Pu Lun said that he most deeply
appreciated the sentiment which had
prompted the toast, and asked that all
prmnt drink to th health of th presi
dent of the United Btates. Th glasses
were Immediately refilled and once again
Prince Pu Lun proposed a toast; this time
to th health of President Francis and Mrs.
Francis, together with that of the expo
sition commissioners. These toasts fol
lowed brief speeches by Prince Pu Lun
and Sir Chentung LIsng Chsng, Chinese
minister at Washington, In whioh they
expressed the sentiments thst the expo
sition would bring the United Btates and
Chin into closer relations as nations,
President Francis followed with a brief
address. In which he stated that China was
on of the first nations to respond to the
Invitation of the United Btates government
and that from the beginning tha work of
preparation of the Chinese exhibit had been
rushed with all speed to completion. He
added that he wished to express the ap
preciation of these facts, not only by th
exposition officials and the people who
would visit the pavilion, but, If he might
so presume, by th president of the United
Btates.
General Franklin Ferris, general counsel
for the exposition, was then called upon
and expressed the sentiment that all na
tions would enjoy closer relations from
having mingled together at the exposition
and that ths Chinese pavilion will be one
of th renters on tha exposition grounds
where representatives of all nations might
congregate and become 'mora closely ac
quainted end -more harmoniously affiliated.

ROYALTY NEEDS THE MONEY
Soft Snaps Enjoyed by Nearly 12, OOO
Living; Persons with Rights to
Brithlsh Throne.
It will be news to many people that
there are almost 12,000 living persons who
have British royal blood in their veins.
There are, and the Marquis de Ruvlgny,
who finds his recreation In genealogical
research, proves it in a thick volume Just
Issued In England.
The marquis gives the names of 11,723
living persons who are legitimate descend
ants of Edward IV, Henry VII of England
and James III of Scotland, with pedigrees
to show how they obtain that distinction.
The list Includes the names of every
Christian crowned head In the world, ex
cept the kings of Sweden and Servla and
th princes of Monaco and Montenegro,
and most of the higher nobility of Eu
ropean countries.
It also Includes scores of cc nmoncrs
humble Smiths, Browns and Jonses In the
most modest circumstances, whom nobody
would think of associating with a royal
pedigree. The marquis numbers them in
the order of their nearness to the head
of the family and if descent really counted
In the matter to the British -throne.
It doesn't, for the act of settlement of
1701 barred the Catholic aons of Elizabeth,
queen of Bohemia, sister of Charles II ,
from the succession and settled it on the
children of her Protestant daughter, the
eiectresa of Hanover, beginning with
George I. All the same, tliougn, tne mar
quis, taking the -view of the ardent legiti
mist, labels, as No. 1 of the blood royal
Mary Theresa Henrietta Dorothea, Prin
cess Louise of -Bavaria, whom he describes
as "heiress of the house of Stuart and by
hereditary right queen of England, Scot
land, France and Ireland."
Of course, in the family pedigree she
comes before Edward VII., the actual
king. In the marquis's book. So do Don
Carlos of Spain, dozens of European prince
lings and hundreds of commoners. But
all.
If among the lineal descendants of these
three king were counted those whose
that unlucky act of settlement bars 'em
pedigrees are crossed with the bar tlninter,
no book would hold them all. The mar
quis counts only the legitimate lines. New

WHY POPCORN POPS AND POPS
Important laformatloa ttot from
tha Popper of Vnele
Samuel.
Much of the progress Americans hnve
made along political, commercial and social
lines la due to the Interest which the In
dividual cltlst-n takes In probing every
question that urines In his experience.
It Is not enough to tell the average free
born American that a thing Is so. It Is ant
enough for him to know that It is so. He
will not be content until he discovers, either
by asking his friends, writing to the news
papers or communicating with the national
government, why It la so.
Take an example. We all know what
popcorn Is. We have seen It In the ear.
We have seen It when shelled. We have
eaten It from the saucer or In the ball,
salted or swentened. Most of us have In
dulged in popcorn at the circus. Many of
us have gathered with loved ones around
the family hearth and watched tt ns It
popped. But how many of ua have learned
why it pops? How many of ua have care!
to discover what may be called the prlrcl
ple of th popcorn pop? Very few. Why?
Because moet of us have been Interested
In the solution of other and equally impor
tant questions.
The time was certain to come, however,
when this snd all'ed question would be
raised. And the time has come, as a mat
ter of fact, for a correspondent has put
the following questions to the Department
of Agi (cultures
1. Why does popcorn pop?
f. Why doesn't ordinary corn pop like pop
corn? . .
3. What Is tr. composition of popcorn and
whv doc It ('Tor from ordinary corn?
4. 'Wh'- nopcorn pop better when
thoroughly dryt H
It Is one i'l tl.e glories of our republican
form of government that It employs men In
every deportment who are specially quali
fied to answer any questions that may be
addressed to it One would suppose at first
glance that these questions would embar
rass the information bureau of the Agri
cultural department. Not at all. Scarcely
had they been received before the popcorn
expert had set to work, and. In less time
than it takes to tell, the following answers
were on the way to the anxious inquirer:
1 The popping of popcorn is due to vola
tilization of the oil contained In the kernel.
2. Field corn does not pop aa readily as
popcorn pops because the outer portion of
the kernel in more porous, permitting the
escape of the oil as It volatilizes, while in
the case of popcorn a great pressure is de
veloped in the kernel by the confined oil
and the kernel is suddenly exploded nnd
turned wrong side out.
3. In ctmprsltlon popcorn differs from or
dlnarv corn In having a larger proportion
of corneous element and a great per cent
4. Popcorn pops more readily when dry be
when moistened the kernela are
swollen, more porous and toughened and do
not explode so suddenly ana completely as
when dr' and hard.
This settles the wholo popcorn question.
It was, after simple. Will somebody
be kind enou, to ask the government
something hard, that It may once more have
an opportunity of demonstrating Its rblllty

The percentage of lUie factories has in
creased, especially in textile alia footwear,
and a change in atyle has rendered un

work is increasing, but dealers had accu

Commodity prices declined slightly during
April. Hallway earnings in April were s

WEATHER STIMULATES THADB
Business Much Improved, hot ot tp

NEW YORK, May 6.-Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
Long expected good wvather has at last
materialized and has helped farmers nnd
retail trade in seasonable good. Crop
preparations and planting has made espe
clafly good progress, the preaent outlook
being that while the winter wheat crop
will be short, the acreage in spring wheal,
oats and corn will be heavily increased.
Retail and wholesale trade, however, has
not experienced the stimulation eariiei
looked for, there being a disposition so
far to regard results as below expecta
tions. Reorder trade with Job. r Is slow
and fall orders are bnckward. Other condi
tions partake of irregularity. ihe Iron
trade Is uuleter, with prices d stlnctly
weaker. Eastern Jobbers ate Inclined to
take a more favorable view of trade now
that good weather Is stimulating retail de
mand: The improvement as yet, however,
is a matter of tone only, and some Jobbers
regard a portion of the spring trade ns
actually lost. The volume of fall business
Is limited as yet. In dry goods business
as n whole Is not up to expectations and
Drices are a bar to activity uy ium..-
turers who are talking
of curtailment.
Eastern shoe manulucturcrs arc griuna
some orders, but no Brent activity is noted.
Leather Is quiet and hides are firm. Vexa
