PRESERVING EGGS.
Results OF Recent Experiment at the

The Canadian experiment farm at
Ottawa is interested in poultry expert

preservatives for eggs. Lime water
and water glass were used The
lime water was made by putting two
or three pounds of fresh lime in five
gallons of water and stirring il well
at intervals. IL is then allowed TO set
Tie and the clear fluid left is poured
over the eggs. which are placed in a
crock or air-tight barrel. 1t is some
times recommended 10 add pound or
so of salt to the lime water. but this
did not seem advisable in this expert
ment. What is known as water
glass is silicate Of soda. 1t is fluid
costing 60 cents per gallon. 1t is very
caustic, and more disagrceable to use
'han lime water. Perfectly fresh eggs

preserving should fully cover the eggs.

SMOKELESS POWDER
The Firing Said to he Extremely Ter
rifying to Both Men and
Horses.

In the British army the four-legged
recruits are drawn up in a ring round
an instructor. who fires pistol. Some
take the flash and report very quietly
and these are soon passed on TO seyerer
trials. while the others have lesson after
lesson until they are quite convinced
that there is no danger To them and be-
fore long you might fire a seven-pound-
er within yard of them and they
would hardly look around. After this
they are taught 10 face fire-that is TO
say. TO gallop fearlessly up to a line or
square of infantry. blazing away with
their rifles. and 10 charge batteries OF
quick firing guns. OF course, only
blank cartridges are used. and so TO a
trained horse going into battle for the
first time there Is no difference between
the harmless thunder OF the maneuvers
and the death-dcaling storm which
sweeps over the battlefield. The poor
brute only learns what the difference
really is by bitter experience.
When smokeless powder came into
general use it was found that in many
eases horses which would face the
smoke of guns using black powder
without fiinching fiinched and SHE'D at
the flash and roar unaccompanied by
smoke. Continental opinion is some
what divided as to the moral effect of
smokeless powder on men and hcrses,
but the general conclusion seems so
be that in daylight il is not more terri
flying than black powder. although
some hold that TO see men and horses
struck down by an invisible agency
must necessarily be SC. But ii is gen
orally agreed that the use of smokeless
powder at night has a much more dis
tLrbing effect than that of the old
powder. because the flashes of the
guns, unobscured by smoke. are great
deal more vivid. The fear thus inspired
can. however. be overcome by training
but there is another fear which must,
in the nature of the ease. be felt for the
first time on the battlefield. and that is
the often uncomfortable terror pro-
duced both in men and horses by the
whistling Of bullets and the screaming
and banging of shells. Some authori-
ties have. indeed. said that since the
introduction of smokcless powder and
the great increase in the range and ac-
curacy Of weapons. il would be inn
possible to keep cavalry in hand under
the fire of modern artillery. but this is
probably an exaggeration.-Pear

Nine Conductors Let Out on
Western Divisions Short s
Fare System CHARGED.


TOPEKA. Kan. Jan. l6. = Nine
Santa Fe conductors running on the
Western, New Mexico and Rio Grande
divisions have been discharged for
using the short fare system. More dis
charges will probably follow. The in
yestigation is in the hands of Division
Superintendents Charles Dyer at Pu.
ebo and J. L. Hurley at Las Vegas.
1t is claimed that thirteen old con-
ductors on the system in New Mexico
and Colorado will be dropped off Il 9
list The charges against the men are
that they gave free passage to Others
insome cases railroad men -or were
found guilty of pocketing money right
fully belonging to the company. The
trial Of railway conductors is carried on
in secret, and the accused have no
means of putting up defense. On the
Santa Fe if conductor who is dis
charged wants to know the compliant,
he Is given detailed statement OF his
alleged off enses. The conductor who
feels that he is innocent. then appeals
to the proper officers, and if he can es-
tablish his innocence, he may be rein
stated. There is an unwritten law in
railroading that a man in the business
will assist brother in hard luck who
wants to get over the road. The rail.
way companies have attempted for
many years to abolish this time-honor-
ed custom, butitis as much in force
today as it was quarter of century
ago. So say those who claim to know.
Many luckless conductor has lost bis
positlo n because of feeling Of loyalty
to a fellow worker.
