Preserx.tIon Of Eggs.

German papers state that 1t is pos
sible to keep eggs fresh for any length
OF time by simply immersing them in a
10 Fer cent solution of SILICA of soda.
commonly called liquid glass" This
produces the formation of a coating
which renders the eggs perfectly air
tight. and when so treated they retain
their fresh taste for many months.
The best proof Of the efficacy OF this
process has been furnished by the fact
that ouch eggs, after having been kept
for whole year. were matched. and
the chickens were strong and healthy.
The preserving solution is best pre-
pared by dissolving one pound OF
liquid glass in four quarts of cold
water. The eggs are then immersed
In tLis solution. which should be kept

Comets and Asteroids.

DR.. Callandreau of the Bureau OF
Longitudes of Paris has printed the
result of a comparison OF the orbits
of the asteroids and of the periodic
comets of short period, and has formu-
lated the following conclusions: l..

ring at small aphelion distances small
eccentricities and inclinations are to
be found. 2. The eccentricities in

conxenient Sack Holder.

Anyone who has ever attempted to
perform the task knows how difficult
it is to fill bag and hold the mouth
open at the same time. no matter
whether grain. potatoes, rags or some
other substance are being deposited
And as it is not always convenient
for second person to hold the mouth
Df the sack open. the rather ingenious
device illustrated here should prove a
great convenience for this special pur-
pose. To put the holder in operation
1t must be suspended from some con-
venient hook or rope overhead. and
the greater the load the stronger is
the grip maintained on the sack. The
main portion of the support is formed

CHAPTER TX.
A More rhorouah Search.

Dolores, worn with watching and
faint from lack of food. fell asleep at
THE doorway, and slept the whole
might through; the dawning had deep
ened to broad light when she walked
She bathed her face with cool
water from the well and brushed her
soft hair back. winding it in a heavy
coil at the back of her head.
The table was set as she had left It
the day before. and when she hung the
kettle over the fire she took the pail
>and went out to milk Brindle.
Lodie came up for water; he hest
tated as he saw Dolores, but she rose
up bravely to meet him. She did not
speak, but her eyes asked him ques-
tion.
"Ther case were postponed" he
said. slowly "Ther jedge were put
out considerable. but as t couldn't be
helped he said they'd hev ter wait tell
yer feyther kems."
He did not linger; he dared not
linger when she was watching him.
He could not tell her of the reused
suspicion regarding Johnson's non
appearance. He left full bucket on
the edge OF the well for her.
Dolores was unused to attention;
this slight act touched her strangely;
she watched him go down the road.
and his slouching figure had n sort of
grace in her eyes.

the thermometer consists of two con-
centric glass tubes. fused together at
the end, with the wire wound on the
