MACHINERY-MADE EGGS.
Company Formed, to Drive Hens
Out Of the Business.
Contracts Placed for s15o,Ooo Worth
of Machinery for Factory to Be
Established at Beaver
Falls, Pa.

Several times within the past ten
years the public has been assured that
at some time in the future eggs would
be manufactured and put on the market
at price that would drive every self
respecting hen out of the business. The
proposition was regarded by the afore-
said public as the natural result of a
"pipe dream" and no credence was
placed in it.
Now, it seems the making of eggs
and good eggs-is no longer chimera,
a company having been formed in Pitts
burgh that means the beginning of the
hens final extinction. OF course, the
good housewife, out of respect to ira
dition, may continue to support in lux
ury a dozen or so big Brahmas, merely
to keep the pastor from looking guilty
when he is invited out to dinner.
But the hens mission as purveyor Of
suitable punishment for ham and ba-
con will have become sinecure, and it
is hardly probable that the farmer will
favor wholesale and indiscriminate
pensioning."
The facts about this new industry
that wantonly tramples on the vested
rights of hens, as stated by the Pitts
burgh Post, are as follows. Accompany
has about decided to locate its plant at
Beaver Falls, Pa Fred Avery, manager
of the Hotel Victoria, has offered the
company 1000 acres Of land in the vi
cinity of Mount Clemens, Mich, if it will
establish the plant at that place, but the
parties interested favor this section
of the country on account of the facili-
ties offered for shipping. Gustaye New
man, the principal stakeholder in the
company, visited Beaver Falls recently,
and has secured an option on piece of
ground which he thinks will be entire
ly suitable for the purposes of his con-
Germ.
Contracts have been placed for $780,
600 worth of machinery for the plant.
and as soon as the site has been agreed
upon contracts for the building will be
let. 1t is expected that the factory will
be in operation early in the fall.
One important feature of the scheme
has not been mentioned. The shells of
the eggs manufactured, after they have
been used and discarded, win be repur-
chased by the company and sold to
manufacturers of rubber shoes. A re-
bate will be allowed hotels and restau-
rants on old shells. The bitumen in the
egg shells is said to be valuable for the
purpose of polishing rubber. Rubber
shoes are now polished by means of
friction, which IS both troublesome and
expensive, and members of the new egg
company say they can dispose of dis
carded egg shells for this purpose. The
gentleman interviewed said:
by disposing of the egg shells in this
manner we can make enough to pay all
shipping expenses, and that win be
quite an item, for we intend to place
large quantities in the English mar
ket -

MICA MINgs IN nav JERSEY.
Two Young Sien stumble Upon Very
Valuable Deposits.

Two Young 5ien stumble Upon Very
Valuable Deposits.
To two young men who live in Bloom
ingdale, but whose identity has not
yet been disclosed, belongs the credit
of the discovery of rich deposit of
mica in Passaic county, n. j. Great
results are expected as the outcome of
careful investigation. and on Wednes-
day of next week a meeting of the inter
ested persons will be held in Paterson
to form company, for the presidency
of which Gov. John w. Griggs is slated.
SITS better than a gold mine," say
those who know. The reason for that
conclusion is that, besides the vast
quantities of white mica which are in
sight, there are apparently large de-
posits of other minerals of high COM
mercial value. Then. too, say the ex-
perts. there are great possibilities of
the finding of deposits of garnets, the
resting place of which are generally
beds of mica.
The exact place where all this treas
ure has been found is Federal Hill, one
of New Jerseys beauty spots, which
dates back TO the revolutionary period
in history. Land up that way wasn't
worth more than perhaps $50 an acre
until q few weeks ago. The mica is
worth in this market about 81, 500 ton.

time in Paris, where he lost a large
fortune in gambling. This fact had

that some one had robbed him of his

course there was no foundation for
his wild fancy. His ruin was due

The Rev. Andrew Jones of Kansas
City tearfully informs his own fellow
citizens and the people of Chicago and
New York that they are all under a
common ban and will be destroyed
within a few months. Mr.. Jones adj
mits that he has predicted all the
great disasters of recent years and
therefore feels impelled to utter this
warning early in order, doubtless, to
enable, the inha bitants concerned to
move or otherwise prepare to meet
their doom. If Mr. Jones feels strong
ly on this subject perhaps it is right
that he should make known his Spec
ial and exclusive information, but he
should be more explicit as to the way
the dissolution is to be accomplished.
He says "either by tornado or earth
quake" This ambiguity, typical of
all oracles, may lead to greater dis
aster even that the one he predicts,
It is plain that a man must know
whether he is threatened by tornado
or an earthquake or all his precau-
tions will result in mere gamble
with fate. A cyclone cellar, for in
stance, which would be an excellent
safeguard in case of tornado, might
prove thoroughly uncomfortable if the
visitation should turn out to be an
earthquake. And again, resort to an
asrship, which would successfully baf-
file seismic assaults, might result in SUI
preme discontinue should a mighty
air disturbance ensue. If the Rev. Mr..
Jones wants to be honored as a proph-
ct in his own country he must get
down more to details.

The word ''belfry'' had originally no
connection with bell, an idea which is
now intimately associated with the
term. The first meaning given is
watch tower,' from the middle Eng
lish ''berfry,'' a watch tower. The
first part of the word is connected
with borough, the second with free.
AS the practice grew of hanging bells
in such towers, people reminded
themselves Oh the fact by changing
the word berfry into the modern bel
fry.

OPINIONS BY PERRY
Submitted to County Commissioners
Other Matters of the County.

The committee on Door was given
power to act in the matter of providing
transportation for lady with three
small children to her home in Rhode
Island.
The county attorney was instructed
to at once take action against all par
ties who are obstructing the public
roads by digging bitches across them.
The sum of $25 was appropriated TO
the Crittenton Home TO pay for the care
of county charges.
The county attorney reported that
the treasurer can not mail tax notices
as required by law because the asses
sor has not turned over his rolls. The
law requires that the first notices must
be mailed ten days before the meeting
of the board of equalization which is
to be June 18th. Any irregularity will
invalidate the tax sales. The report
was filed.
The attorney also recommended that
the fruit tree inspector be allowed
nothing for expenses beyond the salary
already fixed.
The authority quoted by Mr.. Peery
is sec. 81 page 80, Laws of Utah, 1891,
which says the compensation of each
of such county inspectors shall be 81

ployed, and thew shall serve during
such portion of each year as the county
