A unique salad was invented some
years ago by an ingenious woman. IL
consisted of slices of hard boiled egg
at least four inches In diameter
served on lettuce leaves. No egg
but an ostrich egg was ever SO large,
bat the secret lay IN the fact that II
was composite egg. Two bags OF
flannel were made. one round and the
other oval. the round one being much
the smaller Into the round one were
dropped AZ once the yolks of eight
eggs, nearly filling the bag After
the yolks were boiled hard they were
left until cool. and then the fiannei
was cut of The whites of the eggs
were put into the oval beg and the ball
of yolks carefully slipped into them.
When the whites had cooked and
cooled the second bag was cut away
Experimenting was necessary TO
find the right size Of bags for the
number of eggs and the proportionate
size for the yolk alone and the entire
egg. IL was another nice point 20 al
low for the second boiling Of the yolks
without getting them too hard, and 10
locate the yolk IA the middle of the
whites. This was most satisfactorily
accomplished by putting half Of the
whites into the bag then dropping IN
the yolk and finishing with the rest OF
the whites. The bEoyancy Of ths
whites maintained the position Of the
yolk. Afterward the inventor Of the
mammoth egg had two light tin cases
made of the proper shape and dimen
sions. bat there Is no record of hel

The only item which is liable 70

A Trick. Of the Camera.

The Catholics of Hastings and St. Leonards are going to-celebrate the Au- gustine thirteenth century by paying visit to the ruined chapel of St. Mary in, Hastings castle In former days this chapel was place of considerable im- portance, being served by a. dean and 12 prebendaries. At the reformation it met the fate of so many similar institu- tions, and was given by Henry VIII. to one of his faverites. It is now in the possession of Lord Chichester, whose family have done much to preserve the tottering walls which crown the old Cinque Port. Considerable curiosity has been aroused in local Catholic cir cles by the discovery that in most, if not all, of the photographs of the ancient chapel 8 trick of light dischoses the figure of woman in Allowing garment and veil, standing in an tttitude of de votion before what appears to be . statue of the Madonna and child A closer inspection. shozes.

He seldom marries Q woman younger than himself; she is much older. md eometimes is double his age, and even
 -o-e. She is selected from a family whose position equals his or is even higher When suitable woman is found the young man is asked how many blankets and animal skins he is willing to pay for her. When this inn portant question is settled, feast is arranged in the home of the bride and the friends of both families are invited. When the company is assembled the woman's people extol the greatness of their family. The young mans mar riaee gifts are spread out where they will make fine show, and then his fam fly sound their praises. The ceremony lasts from one to two days, and finally the young bridegroom takes his wife to his own Chicago Tribune.

There is apparently no end to the capabilities of the X" rays. They are now used as an incentive to fowls to do their duty, and 8 sure means of finding put the lazy and slothful egglayers. 4 farmer with d large quantity of poultry found, after carefully compiling sta tistics, that the number of eggs pro 1uced was not so great as it ought to be, and he computed that at least one fifth of the birds were either slugpards or useless. Accordingly the Roentgen rays were called into requisition, and a preliminary examination of 12 hens showed that eight were egg producers and four were not. An "X" ray plant was then permanently established, and all the hens were subjected to search ing examination at the rate of 30 per hour. This put the birds on their best behavior, and the result was decided increase in eggs. The nonproducers were ruthlessly plucked and sent to market.-London Telegraph.

In Switzerland recently conducted experiments show that the course of bullets may be defected by electric wires. Four wires were strung parallel to, and .125 feet away from the line of fire at the range near Thur. At inter vals of 30 feet the course of the bullet was marked by paper screens. A cur rent of 5000 volts caused dedection of 75 feet from the course, and toward he wires at distance of PTS yards. A Japanese rife threw a slender bullet that went straight for the wires and followed their course in close contact until it's energy was spent in friction. Even cannon halls were affected by the current.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

 ton in Letter Tube.
 In Philadelphia, probably more ex- tensively than in any other city, under ground tubes are used for the convey ance of letters, telegrams, and small parcels, "A few days ago one of the cyl | indrical rubber carriers employed in this service stopped somewhere along the route. Air pressure and suction in turn failed to drive or recall it. It was found necessary to dig down and open the pipe and remove the box.
 But the problem was to determine whether the box was ten feet or 2,000 feet from the starting point. Ttwas not considered desirable to dig up half a mile of pipe to remove this obstruction. Other means of locating it having failed, -siae following plan was adopted: A pistol was fired near the end of the tube, and the time required for the sound to travel and echo to return measured. Thus the distance of the object was es- timated.
 Sound travels 400 feet a second. As the velocity would be affected by the temperature proper allowance was made. The chromograph improvised consisted of metal drum ten inches in diameter, revolving slowly, and nov ing endwise in rotation. The polished surface was coated with smoke. A pin was attached to one prong of tuning fork, giving the note c, and therefore vibrating 512 times per second. Conse- uuently 512 waves were imparted to the trace.
 A pendulum of clock beating half seconds electrically caused another dis turbance of the pin point in it's tracing \ on the drum. Provision was made for automatically recording the instant of the shot and arrival of the echo. Five trials gave 2,793 seconds as time re- quired for sound to travel both ways. A velocity of 1903 feet was assumed for temperature of 32 degrees and cor rection of 1.12 foot per second for each degree above that standard. The ob- served temperature was S9 degrees, in the ground. Computed velocity was 1,01O feet, and distance both ways BOTS Dividing by two, the explorers made distance of box 1,537 feet.
