SEEKS TO REVOKE GIFT
James B. Hammond Asks Injunction
to Prevent Distribution of Stock.
New York, Aug. 24. An attempt by
James 1!. Hammond, head of the Ham
mond Typewriter company, to revoke
a trust agreement by which hp virtual
ly gnve 520 shares of stock of that
compi'.ny to th. employes of the com
pany wag argued in court.
Mr. Hammond's counsel Informed
the court t tint in February last, believ
ing that he was atvuit to die, Mr. Ham
mond appointed ti listers to distribute
the stock anions; those of his employes
whose lennth of service warranted It.
A few months Inter an attempt was
made to show that Mr. Hammond was
mentally unsound, but he was twice
adjudged sane.
Li June he visited Europe and re
covered his health, but while absent
learned that the stock was being dis
tributed. Mr. Hammond then return
ed to Ann rlca and recovered most of
the stocks. The courts are now asked
to enjoin fjie benellclr.ries of Mr.
Hammond's gift from appropriating
the entire stock of the company.
Mr. Hammond's counsel said that
the stock In question was worth $1,
OOO.iiOO and that the agreement under
whlih Mr. Hammond had made It over
to his omploycs Included a provision
that the rompanv should pay $S0.n)0 a
year for live y.ns. He now desires
to hold the gift n abyeyancp. Deci
sion was reserved by the court.

These arc the foods invented by Prof. An
derson, and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in a heat of 550 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tremendous.
Then the guns are unsealed, and the steam
explodes. Instantly every starch granule is
blasted into a myriad particles.
The kernels of grain are expanded eight
times. Yet the coats are unbroken, the shapes
are unaltered. Wc have simply the magnified
grain.
