"A consular report tells of large quanti-
ties or Shelled eggs being sent to Eng
land from Russia and Italy for the use of
pastry cooks, bakers, hotels and reStau-
rants, says the Philadelphia Press. The
eggs are emDtied from their shells into
tin cans holding 1000 or more, and, after
being hermetically sealed, are packed
with straw into wooden cases, the taps
through which the contents are drawn
being added by those using them. Great
care is necessary In selecting eggs, as a
single bad one would spoil the whole lot.
Lower price and saving of time. and
greater ease and less expense and loss in
handling are named as the advantage of
this system. Thus far the Russian pro-
duct has been uniformly good, whereas
the Italian shipments have so frequently
been spoiled that analysis of the Russian
supply has been ordered to determine if
presentations are used.
The collection of birds and insects and
even some of the animals in the Natural
History Museum. are not only of use to
the student of natural history, but to the
jewelers., says the New York Tribune.
Almost any men and women can be seen
modelling the birds, spiders and animals.
These models are made of sculptor's clay
and are exceedingly small, but must be
most accurately proportional. The artist
works on small stand which he or she
holds in the palm of one hand. With
small scalpel in the other hand. the lump
of clay soon begins to take on the form
required and a tiny but exact represen-
much patient work produced. These are
the models to be used by the manufactur-
Ing Jeweller. The smallest form the casts
for the birds and insects which when Jew
elled are sold as scarfpins and brooches
The larger animals, such as the deer and
lions, are the models for the animals that
prowl around the bases of vases and cups
or form their support.
The explanation of Lord Kelvin's es-
innate that the setback" of the earth in
its daily rotation round its axis amounts
TO twenty-five seconds per century, says
the New York Sun, is reported to be that
such retardation is owing to the friction
caused by the tides, the latter acting as
a brake, and such action is calculated
according TO this same authority to be
equal in weight 20 some 100000 tons applied
on the equartor. Other causes, he says,
have also to be taken into account, as
the earth, due to the failure on il of me-
teoric dust, which, If deposited at the
rate of one foot in 1000 years, would pro-
duce the observed retardation by itself
Further, such phenomenon as the an
nual growth and melting of snow and ice
at the poles, by abstracting water from
the other parts of the ocean, introduces

and the melting by restoring the water,

tarding forces, it is urged that there is

Believers in modern miracles have re-
ceived a great shock in Paris, one of the
most renowned cures at Lourdes hav-

London Graphic. Readers of NJ. lola s
LourdeS' Will well remember the case of
the pdfalyZeO cripple VINO, after years
of medical treatment, Wsls suddenly made
whole while praying at the grotto. His
illness and cure were investigated by the
highest medical and clerical authorities
and the man-Delannoy-beca one of
the great glories of Lourdes. Alas for the
fallibility of human nature! The late Grip
pie was made manager of a home for in
Yalds at Lourdes and proved a thief
Taken to the hospital, he ran off with
more money, and on being arrested the
truth came out. Delannoy was simply a
talented 'malingerer' who had gained eX-
perience of illness when warder in a hos
pital, and took up the role of paralytic as
the most easy and profitable way Of max
ing living. He was clever enough to de-
ceive the most talented doctors in Paris
for years, and had the forttude to under
go the most drastic treatment. Finally
came the Lourdes' miracle. During the
four years Imprisonment to which this
ingenious individual is condemned he will
have ample leisure to prepare fresh de-
vices.
Wherever the trotter and PAGER are
raced and the struggle to send horse in
harness a mile in two minutes is on, the

Tribune. Three years ago the first ones
were received with laughter so odd did
