Making Eggs Tell Their Ages.
nondon Grocsry.)


According 10 the Backer und Konditor
zeitung-a German bakers and confec-
TONERS organize age OF IN agg is now
discovered by immersing it In a So
luton Of salt containing. as far as
l can gather, about eight ounces to
the pint. When the salt has thoroughly
dissolved, the egg to be tested Is
dropped very gently into the glass contain
ing the solution. IL the egg is only one
day old it sinks Immediately to the bot
tom; II three days old it sinks just below
the surface only, and from FIVE days and
upward it floats.
Another process has just been awarded
a medal in Saxony by the National Society
of Poultry Breeders and is described in q
German contemporary. II is well known
that the air cavity at the blunt end of the
egg enlarges as the age of the egg in
creases. Consequently, il the egg be
placed in Il solution similar to the ole de
scribed above it will have an increasing
tendency to float with the long axis Terti
cal. A scale OF angles Is placed at the
back OF the vessel, and from the inclina
ton of the egg to the horizontal the age
can be gagged almost to n day. A new
laid egg lies horizontally at the bottom OF
the vessel. When three TO five days old
the egg raises itself from the horizontal
so that its long axis makes an angle OF
about 20 degrees with the horizontal. Al
eight days this angle increases to about 45
degrees; at Il days it is 60 degrees; al
about three weeks it is about 10 degrees
while after four weeks it stands upright
on the pointed end.

GUATEMALA'S NATIONAL BIRD.
It is the Quetzsl. and In Said TO Prefer Death
to Captivity,

The Republic of, Guatemala deeorates
Its coat of arms, its stamps and Its official
documents with the picture Of beautiful
parrot The bird is Of a rich green color,
with tufted head and long tail, which
frequently grows to a, length OF four or
five feet. "a 81
1t is found only in the forests of Gaute-
mala. The green parrot, or quetzal, as
it is called. has been made the national
emblem of Guatemala, just as the Ameri-
can eagle has become the national emblem
Of the United States.
The Gautemalans are very proud of
their national bird, and have written many
songs and poems about it. The parrot
was selected for the national emblem be-
cause it was found very hard to. catch, and
because tradition says that when once i'm
prisoncd, it always kills itself rather than
remain in captivity.
The Gautemalans say that this bird
which so skilfully eludes capture and dies
rather than surrender, is typical of their
own country and its people.
The quetzal lives in the widest parts of
the mountains, and never visits the neigh
borhoOd of the towns or cities. The only
parrots ever brought out of the forests
are caught by the native Indians.
The parrots are too wary to be caught
in trap. The Indians first watch the
parrot, sometimes for days at a time, I'M
til they discover their haunts. Then they
smear the limbs Of surrounding trees with
thick glue.
The parrot perches on the sticky limb
and is held fast. The natives remove the
birds from the limbs by the simple expe-
dent of cutting off their feet.
No parrot has ever been brought from
its forest home alive. They struggle des-
perately when caught. and when they find
they cannot escape they kill themselves,
so it is declared.
The natives say that the birds always
commit suicide in the same way, by peck
ing at their breasts until their jugular
vein is exposed. A final peck sewers the
artery and the bird quickly bleeds to
death. The quetzal dies, but never sur
renders.
Tho green parrot, stuffed, but with feet
missing. is to be found in natural history
museums all over the world; but no one
has ever succeeded in keeping a specimen
alive in captivity.

1900, while the Second. and mostly from
two divisions, was over 1000.
The reports Of Gen. Warren show al
most Herculean effort as the Chief En-
gineer of the Army. 1t seems Incredible
that such devotion to duty was later to be
rewarded by summary removal by Sheri-
dan, after having won the great victory
at Five Forks. Gen. Wagren's reports
show that Hooker was in communication
with Sedgwick, but in none of the cor
respondencs does it show any at
tempt by Hooker to cooperate with
Sedgwick Gen. Benham's reports show
that Gen. Brooke did not move his di-
vision at that time and in the manner eX-
pected of him: nevertheless, his failure to
do so did not affect the success Of the
movement.
At that time l was a member of Co.
X, 9th n. Y, in Bartlett's (SecOnd) Bri-
gade First, Brooke's Division of the
Sixth Corps. We crossed the river in the
pontoons while it was still so dark we
could not see across the river. After days
of waiting, we found ourselves occupying
exactly the same position as on Sunday AT
Fredericksburg battle, 10 weeks before
We were exposed to sharpSh)Oiers' fire,
and suffered some loss therefrom. Well
do / remember seeing a Rochester boy of
Co. Il fall, killed by bullet as he was get
ting to his place to lie down. Another,
who belonged to Co. Fl had n toe shot off,
but he made fast time to the rear-his
two years were too near out to take more
chances.

BARRED OWL A FISHER, TOO.
Much Small Game Destroyed by It and tn
Horned Owl.
New York SUM-

"The Sullivan County man who assert
ed in The Sun recently that the horned
owl catches fish," said one who had spent
a great deal of time in the woods and has
been a close observer, lis quite right about
it. The horned owl is a hunter as well,
and he fishes and he hunts as well by day
as by night.
HE is no better fisher or hunter than
the barred owl, who also is abroad when
the popular supposition is that he is either
asleep or blinking blindly on his roost.
have seen both the horned owl and the
barred owl chase and capture quail and
grouse in broad daylight, and once shot a
barred owl on the wing, as it came noise
lessly sailing along the edge of an alder
cOpse where was watching for a mink
that had despoiled my hencoOp. When
picked the owl up | found a large brook
sucker in its claws.
Zone late Fall day | flushed n covey
Of quail in a field that bordered n deep
wood. and instantly out OF that wood a
horned owl came like winged specter
and seized a quail i'll each claw as the
COyey dashed away across the field. These
two owl destroy great quantity of small
game.
The horned owl is an uncanny creature
to come suddenly upon i'll the woods. He
glides along with the speed Of the wind.
and has the startling faculty of dropping
instantly and stopping. whether on prey
or not. His favorite perch when stopping
thus in his swift flight is on stump or a
dead limb, where he will stare mt you
with his great eyes. beckon you with his
head, and even with his long, white, noise
less wings. In the South they call him
the specter owl, and the superstitious dar-
kieS believe his reckoning means death in
the family OF the one he beckons.

as the large timber growth disappears in
any locality these owls disappear with it.

A Queer Suicide In Alaska.
(Seattle Daily Times.)

The startling suicide, of John DAILY, OF
Cowley. near Bennett on the line of the
White Pass and Yukon Railroad. was the
talk of Skaguay when the Dolphin depart
ed south Saturday night. The man took q
sure and effective method of shutting of
this mortal coil. He cut hole in the ice
Of the creek just small enough to pass
through, squeezed himself down in the
aperture into the icy cold waters, and
showed himself along under the ice fol
several feet before he became unconscious
The man made certain of his death. He
cut the hole so small that there was moi
one chance in thousand of ever getting
back through. Then, very deliberately, ht
beneath the thick ice and SO close was tn,
fit that he scarified the flesh on his shoul
ders.
