Show Make Bread Without Flour French Machine Transforms the Wheat Directly Into Dough-Loaves Dough-Loaves Are Filled With Holes. tn France bread has been made without flour in a machine that transforms trans-forms the wheat directly into dough. This machine shows a large screw turning loosely In a case on the Inner eurface of which is a screw thread running In an opposite direction Between the main threads on the cylinder are smaller threads and the depths of the groove becomes progressively progres-sively smaller from one end to the other so that it will hold the entire wheat grain as it enters the machine, at the same time accommodating only the pulverized wheat at the exit The wheat is prepared by a thorough thor-ough washing, after which operation, Bays Harper's Weekly, about a pint of tepid water to a pound of grain Is added, the whole mixture being allowed' al-lowed' to stand some six hours. Then the grains of wheat have swollen to twice their ordinary size. The mixture is then treated with yeast and salt and is poured into the machine It falls between the threads of the moving screw and of the fixed contrary screw, which simultaneously crush the envelops and body of the grain, making cf them t. homogeneous mixture that forms a smooth paste. Bread made by thi. process contains con-tains a succession of boles whose size increases as they approach the crust, which is thin. Th odor given off Is said to especially agreeable Who Owns Orkneys and Shetlands? It is not perhaps generally known that an opinion expressed, half humorously, humor-ously, by Lord Salvesen at the opening open-ing of the Norse gallery in the Scottish Scot-tish exhibition in G'fcsgow with regard to the ownership of the Orkney and Shetland Islands is fortified by very high authority. His lordship, "speaking "speak-ing as a lawyer," is not sure whether the islands do not belong , to Norway still, and thinks that legally the crown of Norway, if prepared to pay the money for which they were pledged, with interest "for 300 years," would be entitled to redeem them. As a matter mat-ter of fact, plenipotentiaries assembled assem-bled at Breda in 16G8 (a couple ot centuries after the islands had come Into the possession of the Scottish crown) decided not only that the right of redeption had not then been barred by the lapse of time, but that it was imprescribable. The Islands were pledged in 14G8, so that interest is due for nearly four and a half centuries cen-turies Westminster Gazette. |
