There will shortly come before the
courts for trial a civil suit in which a
claim for f9, 600 600 will be made by
Welsh collier. The claim, in which the
initial proceedings have just been taken,
concerns the right to the Drymma es-
tates, with an annual rent-rolI of f3O0, 900,
capitalized at 100000. In addition the
litigant, if successful, would acquire title

Electric Eggs.

A New York electrician has devised
a scheme for the indefinite preservis
ton of eggs. For years the only sue
cessful method Of accomplishing thh
result has been to submerge the hen
fruit in lime water long enough 70
close up the pores in the shell, and
kill any germs which might be lurking
about. With this treatment It hs'
been possible to preserve eggs in such
q state as to permit their use three o.
four months after the submersion.
But at the expiration of this time,
while the eggs are in condition 70
be used by confectioners and bakers
they have lost the delicacy and fresh
ness which make them appetizing i@
the matutinal meal.
However, if the electricians scheme
proves to be success, eggs can y
preserved for on. indefinite period u
as eatable O condition as when dr8
laid. The treatment proposed involves
the placing of the eggs in vacuum
chamber. 1t is a we'll known facttha'
