A Methoa Of Incubation which ID
as Old ~ the ChristiaA Era.
Among the fellahs of Egypt a pro
cess Of incubation IL In use which has
been handed down from antiquity.
perhaps from the time Of Diodorus,
who. forty years before the Christian
era. said that the Egyptians brought
eggs to maturity with their own hands
and that the chickens Matched thus
were not inferior to those hatshel In
the usual way. The process is de.
scrlbed in Nature:
Ovens are built, consisting of a
chamber eleven feet square and four
feet high. with n fiat roof. Above this
another chamber, nine feet high, Is
built. with q vaulted roof having a
small opening in the middle to admit
light Below larger opening commu-
ntcates with the room underneath. In
cold weather both rooms are kent
closed and q lamp is left burning In
each, entrance then being had through
the lower chamber.
When the oven is ready the prppri-
'etor goes to the nefghbOring villages
and collects eggs. They are placed ON
mats. strewn with bran, In the lower
chamber. Fires are then lighted In
troughs along the sides Of the upper
room. the eggs being In two lines Int
mediately below. The fires are light
ed twice day. the first dying out ut
noon and the other burning from 3 10
8 in the evening. The first batch of
eggs is left for half a day In the warm-
est place. and then 1t makes way for
the next, until all have been warmed.
This process Is kept up for six days.
when the eggs are examined carefully
In a strong light. Those that are clear
are Gust aside. Those that are cloudy
IRE put back In the oven for another
four days. They are then removed for
five days to another chamber, where
there are 10 fires. but the air is ex-
cluded. After this they are placed an
finch or two apart and continually
turned. this last stage taking six or
seven days.
The eggs are examined constantly by
being held against the upper cyelid tn
reveal IL they are warmer than the
human skin. The whole process lasts
twenty-one days. but thin-sllelled eggs
often hatch in eighteen. The heat re.
quired is Sc degrees Fahrenheit. FIX

Of "small potatoes and q few in q

remember to the latest day Of his life,
says Will Carleton In Every Where.
A man at Tolland, Conn.,, found a
very small potato In one Of his pockets
when he came in from his work.
"Here." he said laughingly to a boy
twelve years old, who lived with him,
|plant that, and you shall have all you

game Of chance in which speculative
marine underwriters have been In

such big odds have been taken was

India, for the West Indies and the
Delaware Breakwater. and has been
given up as lost. Both vessel and

at the rates then current for vessels
trading on long voyages. After three
months had elapsed without the arri-
val of the vessel. the original insurers
placed their risks with other COM
panfes, paying 20 guineas premium.
and escaping the payment of a total
loss. Those who took the new risk
became alarmed at the continued alb
sence of the vessel and to protect
themselves they reinsured the vessel
and cargo ut 40 guineas premium. As
the loss Of the vessel now appears to
lie beyond doubt, those who last took
the risk will be called upon to pay. q

A sensitive Author

When Dickens first met Hans Chris
tian Andersen in London drawing
room he asked his fellow novelist to
pay him visit at Gadshill. The in.
vitation was promptly accepted and
the guest remained long time. Upon
many occasions during this very pro-
tracted visit Dickens found his pa
thence put to the test by his new
friend. In spite of Hans Christians
many merits and good qualities, his
very marked. peculiarities made him
an exceedingly difficult person to en-
terrain. He WINS exceedingly senti-
mental and emotional, and frequently,
for no apparent reason, would burst
into a flood of womanish tears and
rush away to his own room. A few
days after his arrival he rang the bell
and asked to see the eldest son Of the
house. The eldest son was away, and
when Dickens himself went to see
what his guest desired he found that
Andersen wished the eldest son to
shave him, that being the custom of
his native country. Dickens explain
ed that In the first place young Charles
was absent, and that, secondly, it
would be an experiment fraught with
danger for HIM to attempt the desired
service, as, with the very best inten-
lions, he would probably nearly decap-
itate his illustrious guest. Under these
most untoward circumstances Hans
Christian, weeping, betook himself to
the nearest BARRIERS shop and had his
beard attended to professionally

free itself from the obligation to stop

for ninety-pine years with firm of

passengers, mot being sent express or
f9r special purposes, for a reasonable
period of about ten minutes" at Swim

suitable refreshment rooms, for which

tried to break 1t. The courts in 1916
and In 1872 held that express" did

asked for the anpulment of the con-
