Ingenious Contrivance to Do Away With
Hand Labor.
An invention of the greatest interest
to egg shippers abroad and egg mer-
chants at home was ON exhibition at

egg tester, by means of which good
eggs may be distinguished from bad

dred in 1.-THE of the time commony

ease that all former methods are to-

| eggs are packed in cases containing
layers of $50 eggs. The machine ex-

opening Cans with Safety.

With the majority of can-openers it
is no pleasant task to cut the tin which
allows the contents Of the can to be
removed, and oftentimes there is dan
ger of injury to the hands from the
slipping of the cutter, allowing the
hand to scrape across the jagged edges
Of the tin. A man at Cairo, ILL.,, has
designed an implement with which
cans may not only be opened rapidly,
but with entire safety to the operator.
1t consists of spring-controlled YER
tical rod, having a cutting blade of pc
culiar shape attached to the curved
upper end, with a foot lever controlling
the movement Of the rod. The machine
may be placed on the kitchen table in
a position convenient for use. The can
to be opened is placed on the table
under the cutter, and by depressing the
treadle the cutter is forced into the top
Of the can, the construction Of the
blade being such hat the sharpened
point first punctures the top, when the
beveled edges finish the work by a
shearing cut. This machine will be
found especially useful in hotels, board
ing houses and restaurants where
large quantities of canned goods are
used at certain seasons Of the year

Mr.. Fax was aboard during the sum-

While there he heard a tale of two
Scots, which he related with much unc-
ton to the appreciative Stoddart: "It
was after the British had landed q
force at Wei-Hai, in China" said Mr..
Fax, "that two excellent Scots were dis

A young man who lives in German
town was thrown from a crowded troll
ley car couple of weeks ago and sus-
tanned severe sprafn Of the hand,
which necessitates his carrying that
member in sling. II didn't mind this
so much until President Mckinley was
assassinated," he said yesterday, "but

picion. Czo,gcsz, you know. had fake
bandage on his hand to conceal the
pistol. Well, Immediately after the
shooting l noticed that as I walked
along the street people would look at
me askance and turn to watch my ac-

I should attract so much attention, and
then it dawned on me that I might be

COLD ICE AND WARM ICE.


The college professor asked the rest
OF us whether ice was colder in winter
than it was in summer. Now, to thu
rest of us, ice was ice, and therefore
we could not see how it could remain
Ice and be either colder or warmer.
Then the professor explained the thing
In this fashion: "If thermometer is
buried in ice in summer 1t will indi-
cate 80 degrees. If you throw piece
OF ice into boiling water, and leave it
there until it is almost gone, what is
left will be still at 80 degrees. Ice
can never be gotten above that tenn
perature. But while ice can never be
warmed above 80 degrees, it will go
as much below that as the weather
does An iceman delivering ice one
zero day IN January was asked whether
his Ice was any colder than in July.
He thought not. But, as a matter of
fact, a piece of summer ice, if he had
had 1t, would have been something OF
a foot warmer for him, as it would
have been 80 degrees warmer than the
air of the bottom of his wagon. Mix
ing salt with ice makes it much cooler.
The ice in wine cooler goes down to
about zero. This is why the point zero
on our common thermometers was fix
ed where it is. 1t was supposed to be
the lowest point which could be reach
ed by artificial means. Since then we
have recalled about 3s3 degrees below
zero by chemical processes. Ice will
cool down with everything else on a
cold night to zero or below. What
should prevent it? On day when it
is just freezing block of iron, a block
of ice, outdoors, will stay at 81 de-
grees. If the weather grows warmer
the iron will warm up with the wealth.
er, but the ice will stay at 80 degrees
and melt away. But if the weather
grows colder the iron and ice will cool
off, and one just as much as the other.
AS the ice grows colder it gets harder
and more brittle. There can be no
hickory bend on skating nond on a
zero day, for ice is then too brittle.
Slivers Of ice dipped in liquid air be-
come so hard that they will cut glass.
Water thrown on ice in the Arctic re-
gions will shiver it like pouring boiling
water upon cold glass. This is because
the ice is SO much colder than the wa

Digging Deep for Gold.

A scientific problem of much interest
will confront the engineers of the
Transvaal gold mines when the war
between the English and the Beers is
over, and that is the depth to which
shafts will be sunk in search of gold
bearing veins. Some of the shafts al
ready opened will descend 1000 to
5000 feet, but it is thought by some Of
the engineers that a depth of $4,000 feet
will be reached in other cases. The
temperature at that depth will be
about 100 degrees. the warmest, per-
haps. at which men can work, but the
suggestion has been made that a still
greater depth may be found practicable

has uurwitted the superlatively lazy
remora. By way one must regard
as a triumph Of ingenuity he has sue
ceeded in converting the very means
whereby this born-tired fish usually
escapes all necessity for energy into an
instrument for obtaining gain for 9TH
er people. The mode is as follows:
First catch your remora. No diff
Guilty here. A hook and line of the
simplest, a bait of almost anything
that looks eatable lowered by the side
of ship. and If there be sucker hid
den there he will be after the lure in
stantly The only skill necessary is to
haul him up swiftly when he bites. be-
cause If he be allowed to get hold of
the ship again you may pull the hook
out of his jaws. but you will not sue
coed in detaching him. Having caught
a remora, the fisherman fastens a brass
ring closely around its body, just at
its smallest part before the spread of
i
the tail. To this he attaches long,
fine and strong line. He then departs
for the turtle grounds with his prison
er. Arriving there he confines him-
self to keeping the remora away from
the bottom Of his boat by means of
bamboo. OF course the captive gets
very tired, and no turtle can pass with
in range of him without his hanging
on to that turtle for rest. The mo,
ment he does so the turtles fate is
sealed. Struggle how he may, he can
not shake loose the tenacious grip of
the sucker, and the stolid yellow man
in the sampan has only to haul in up,
on the line to bring that unwilling tur-
tie within range of his hands and lift
him into the Chicago News.

wars TO CATCH TURTLES.

Frank T. Bullen in his new book.
"a Sack Of ,Shakings," introduces his
READERS to the remora, or sucker" a
species Of shark that never exceeded a
dozen pounds in weight. He says: ION
the top Of It's head is a fiat, oval con-
trivance which is an adhesive attach
ment of such strength that, when by
this means the fish is holding on to a
plane surface, 1t is impossible to drag
the body away, except by almost tear
ing the fish in half. Yet by the fexing
OF some simple muscles the fish can re-
lease Its body instantly or as instantly
reattach itself. The remora does not
by any means limit its company to
ships. It is exceedingly fond of attach
ing itself to the body of whale, and
also to some of the larger sharks. In
deed, 1t goes step farther than mere
! outward attachment in the latter case,
because Observation-Disclosures instances
are recorded where several suckers
have been found clinging to huge
sharks palate. This is another stage
on the way to perfect parasitism, be-
cause under such circumstances these
daring dodgers needed not to detach
themselves any more. They had only
to intercept sufficient food for their
wants on its way from the front door

DIES IN JERSEY CITY JAIL.
"Baldy sours' Rarely Had Been Out OF
1t for Thirty Years.

1t for Thirty Years.
Charles Middleton. alias Badly
Sours," died yesterday in the Hudson
county Jail at Jersey City. He came of
respectable New York family. who
allowed him monthly stipend. He
was 73 years old, and for the last thir-
ty years he has not been out of the
county jail month at a time. He
called 1t his home, and he was known
as the star boarder, because the all
loWance made by his relatives enabled
MIN to provide his own meals during
the greater part of his Imprisonment.
A man OF more than ordinary ability,
drink was his besetting sin. He was
never arrested for anything but drunk
enness. He was known to every JUS
tice in Jersey City, and whenever he
was arralgned he was at once sent to
What he called his home" On one
occasion he was arrested in Hoboken,
where he was stranger, and was SEN
fenced to thirty days in the pcniten-
t1ary. That's wrong" said Middleton.

question was finally compromised, says

subscribing to an affidavit that he
would never run away again. AS the

An Improved Milk Pail.

Many pail of milk has been lost by
a kick from the COW just as the task
of milking her was about finished, and
many a stray bit of dirt falls into the
open pail if the farmer Is not extreme
ly careful In his labors. An Alabama
man believes that the pail he has just
designed will save the milk in case OF
an upset pail and also prevent the
gathering of impurities. The top Of
the pail has threaded flange, to
which receiving bowl is secured by a
smaller tlange. In the center of this
bowl is strainer, and below the
strainer is an open frame in which is
placed a loose cone corresponding in
shape to the under side of the strainer.
AS soon as the pail is tipped over the
flow Of the milk toward the strainer
seals the cone and effectually closes the
outlet until the pail is righted again.
