came the Brooklyn, flagship of the second

and east of her the Indiana. The posi-
ton at daybreak was such that the port
side was somewhat uncovered. 1t Is be
lieved that this unusual condition was no
ticed by the Spanish commander and that
herein he saw his only chance of escap-

ON the Oregon the jackies assembled in
general quarters for Sunday morning in

succession the same preparations for the

post for time.
While the men were still on deck under
going rigid inspection by their officers
the signal bridge of the feet flagship
broke out in many-colored bunting. On
each signal bridge of each vessel in the
mighty armament the officer ON duty bent
his glasses to read the signal. 1t was
nearly 8 o'clock, sitting hot and eyes
were straning across the brazen water in
idle wonder when the stern guard would
be broken. Disregard the motions of the
commander in chief read the signal dis

On the deck Of the Brooklyn, shaded by

inspection was over, the men had been
released and all was as monotonous as
it had been for forty days. just at this
juncture the navigating officer on the for

therefrom. He quietly turned to Mr..
Hodgson, executive officer, and said:

THE HENS WORK.
Data as 10 Eggs, Their Value and Composition.
M25 Cents Colsn 1hay Arc Exiravaganl

The agricultural department, through
its experiment stations, has been inves-
tigating the food value Of hens eggs.
According to large number of an
alyses made of American eggs at the
various stations. an egg on an average
weighs two ounces and has the follow
ing PERCENTAGE OF composition: Shell,
1916: water, Sc: fat, 9.3: and ash, o9.
A side of beef contains on an average
about the same percentage of protein,
but a larger percentage Of fat. Eggs
belong TO the ntrogenous group OF
foods, and would naturally and quite
properly be combined in the diet with
materials supplying carbohydrates tsu-
gar and starch). such as cereals, pota-
station the chief object OF the examina-
ton was to determine whether there
was any basis of fact for the popular
opinion that eggs with brown shells
have n higher food value than those
with white shells. 1t has been said by
some that the brown eggs are richer
than the white ones, but this statement
Is not borne out by a chemical analy-
sis, and the physical examination
proves that the main points of super
iorty. though extremely slight. are
possessed by the white eggs. The min
ute differences that are found between
the two groups are exceeded by varia-
ton between varites within the same
group. 1t may be stated that there are
practically no differences so far as the
food value ia concerned.
The Michigan station made tests OF
the effect of the character of rat.ons
on the composition of eggs. but no
marked variation was observed. In
connection with other work the digesti-
bility OF eggs was studied at the Min
nesota station. and II was found that
the protein OF eggs either soft or hard
boiled was entirely dgested i'm five
hours. the method Of cooking having
some effect upon the rate of digestibl-
ity. but not materially affecting the
total digcstibility. The results agree
quite loosely with those reported some
wears ago by Rubner. a German inves-
tigntor. who found that 9I.i OF the pro-
tcin OF hard boiled eggs was digested
Digestion experiments were made at
the University OF Tennessee with
healthy men on a diet OF bread. milk
and eggs and it was found that from
90 TO 20 per cent. OF the protein and fat
was digested, which warrants the con-
clusion that eggs DO really possess the
high nutrltive properties which are
ponularly supposed to belong to them.
From It's Investigations as TO the kinds
and amounts OF food consumed by per-
sons engaged I'm various occupation
and the relative cost OF such foods the
department finds that. compared with
other foods at the usual prices, eggs at

remained I'm the ruins Of their homes
during the night; others who had been
found and taken TO places of shelter
died before morning. a small force OF
doctors from the local college. studenss
and citizens spent the dark hours in a
ceaseless hunt for the unfortunates.
The dead were carried away TO select

of the injured could be satisfied. All
night rescuers darted here and there
among the debris, answering some cry
for help. or directed by the sight Of
some struggling form lighting to es-
cape Imprisonment. Fires that had
started soon after the tornado passed
and which were allowed TO burn sent
up a bright, glow and lent aid to the
rescuers. Ii Is possible that these same
fires incenerated some of the victims
