Show Transmuting Vegetables. Kfl The discovery of a means of meta- H morphosing radishes into potatoes has H been made in so solemn a place as the H Academy of Sciences, Paris, m. Mol- Hard takes a very young radish, "Pas- I teurizes" it In a certain way, and It B grows up Into a fine potato. More I scientifically, the young radish Is cul- I tivated In a glass retort, after a pro- B cess invented by Pasteur, In a concen- I trated solution of glucose. Starch then I develops plentifully in tho cells of tho B radish, which swells o'-t, loses its pep- B perlness, and acquires practically the B consistency, flavor and especially the B nutritive properrles of tho potato.
