There is nothing in an egg to prevent
freshness being maintained. 1t is there
fore u question Of treatment, and the
domestic treatment Of eggs has not pro-
crossed or cheapened in 100 years, and
practically poultry keepers are only as
far advanced today as in 1888, when
the Dutch process of lime picking was
first introduced into England, and those
who do not know what has transpirod
since are no wiser than their forefathers.
There is ample evidence to prove,
though the facts are not generally
known, that eggs can be delivered fresh
from the most distant countries. even at
less cost than the prr1nt stale ones.
This, of course, seems improbable. but
at one time it WIS deemed absolutely
impossible that foreign sheep, lambs
and beef could compete with home
grown. or that steam could displace
labor, or that steel could be produced at
cheaper rate than iron and supersede
iron.
As there is nothing in an egg to pre-
vent freshness being maintained it is
therefore a question Of scientific treat.
ment, and opposition comes only from
those who fear old established interests
being extinguished. However, this sat-
isfactory phase of the egg problem seems
one that might be advantageously taken
up by those interested in developing
poultry and eggs as domestic indus.

Albert Berg, Ed Gross and Joco

no end of trouble for Sheriff Hemen-
way OF late. 1t has finally become
necessary to lock them up among
the old and hardened criminals.
The boys were trying to cut their
way out Of Jail when the sheriff or.
dered their removal from the second
floor.
The statutes provide that juvenile
offenders shall be kept separate
where it is possible and deemed ad-
visable. So Sheriff Hemenway put
these lads on the second floor Of the
county Jail. He soon found that he
had q bad trio to handle. and it was
not long before ne discovered that
they had been digging in the wall.

When Cod Become Blind.

Several large cod are kept in one Of
the tanks of the Amsterdam aquarium,
necessarily near the surface, and there
fore exposed to a strong light from
above. Now, the cod, though not q
deep sea fish, is not a surface swim.
mer and lives 81 depths where the sun
light must DO very much modified by
passage through the water. It lives in
what to us would be semidarkncss.
Every one Of these cod exposed to the
strong light is suffering from an ex-
traordinary hypertrophy of the eye. The
whole organ has become overgrown, as
if in the effort to adjust itself to the use
of more light rays it had become over
equipped and then useless. The cod, in
fact, are blind.
The most interesting feature in this
change is the extraordinary rapidity
with which increased supply Of light
rays has overdeveloped the organ for
its use. 1t has taken place, not by slow
degrees from individual to individual,
but in a course of time to be measured
by months and in every individual in
the tank. If this example is q measure
Of the rapidity with which such changes
take place among fish, the adaptation
of those creatures which have migrated
from the shallow waters of the deep
seas, shown by the total loss or enormous
development of their eyes and the growth
of illuminating organs to light tine
abyss, may have been as rapid as it is
marvellous. Spectator.

Rsnsou Hsars from Mac.

Capt. W. j. Ransom has received
from Canton acknowledgment Of that
memorable greeting forwarded to
the major Immediately upon his
election to the presidency. The
message which flew over the wire, il
will be recalled, was q reminder of q
promise the captain had made the
major as to the vote OF the state of
Illinois. The stereotyped form used
by the president-elect's private Sec
rotary does not exactly apply to Capt.
Ransom, whose message was worthy
. special reply. but he has heard
from the major all right-and on
this account is supremacy happy.
The captain will probably pay a visit
to the White house next summer
when he will give q more complete
explanation Of the source of the late
correspondence. in which he has fig.
ured so conspicuously.
