HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Keeping Them in Water Glass IL an
Effective Method for the Aver
age Housekeeper.

Now and then housekeeper wants to
know of some reliable way to preserve
eggs in time of summer plenty for the
midwinter season of scarcity, when eggs
are so much in demand for holiday
dainties. Most methods are somewhat
uncertain and some really affect the
taste of the eggs even if it keeps them
in general sense of the word.
Those who are studying the subject of
egg preservation otherwise than by cold
storage and in large quantities agree that
nothing is better than water glass. This
is solution of silicate of soda which has
consistency something like oil. II but
a few pounds are needed the price is
about Is cents a pound. But as it is to
be diluted nine times it's bulk with cold
water, and one pound will cover about
$50 eggs, the cost is not so great. The
eggs must be perfectly fresh, not store
eggs, then stored in a cool, dark place.
and experience proves that wood or
earthenware is better than metal. be-
cause aftera time water glass will cor
rode metal = : 49,:
Tie theory Of preserving eggs in any
solution is to keep the contents Of the egg
from eyaporating through the porous
she'll or to prevent air from entering
through the shell to the contents. Any
thing which completely closes the pores
of the shell If 1t be harmless itself IL 4
good preservative. Some Of the sub
stances used are too expensive even e
efficient !; water glass Is both. effective
and inexpensive. :s. ss5.5;@.5.a.0

and teeth two inches long. It took
16 men to carry him into camp and
did it. all myself and it was such a
difficult shot. I am a sort of big bug
in camp now. The natives bow down
and kiss the hem of my dress, for
am the first lady who has ever shot
in these jungles. All, l am a lucky
beggar. So just listen while tell you
about it:
1--WE heard a tiger had killed lot
of deer in piece of bamboo jungle
about six miles off, so l got about
40 heaters together and took up our
position near an open space, while
the heaters went into the jungle with
drums and horns, driving six buffalo
in front of them and making hideous
noises. After about half an hour,
when the beat was nearly up to my
tree, I saw a huge tiger. He was
going full bat, so l saw it was a case
of then or never, and although it was
very blind shot I let blaze at the
vanishing stripes as they flashed
through the bamboos.
"A roar anu rush tOlQ me the mon
ster was hit, but could see nothing,
as the jungle was so dense. When the
shikar came up I told him where
l had fired and got down and with
loaded rifles we approached the spot
where, about ten yards from where I
fired, lay the very finest monster I
ever saw and his great striped body
did indeed look like a slain king of the
forest. The shikar and 1 all but
Rugged in our excitement. The mon
ster was indeed glorious with his ten
feet eight inches spread out in their
full, his gums rolled up, showing his
enormous teeth and his skin in it's
prime, and oh, so beautifully black
and yellow.
II had already shot three bears, two
panthers and tiger, besides all sorts
of deer and other smaller beasts, and
when I saw that monster lying there
slain by my own hands it was the
proudest and happiest moment of my
life and I shall never get over the
feeling of exultation."

Here is glass which apparently can
be used either as mirror or window.
It resembles mirror because it has the

Work Of Capt. Carter's Successor.

From the Engineering News.
On another page Of this issue we present
a paper describing the recent work of chan.
mel improvement at Cumberland sound M
shows not only the marvellous success Of
the work which is now in progress there,
but the striking contrast between the cost
of the work done under the Carter regime
and dts cost since it was placed in the
hands of Captain Gillette.
In 1900, after the work had been at d
standstill for three years, 1t was placed in
charge of Captain Gillette, and the remark
able results obtained since that time are
in the highest degree creditable to the en-
ergy and engineering ability Of this officer.
Under the old fraudulent contracts as noted
above, $3.50 per ton was paid for light Flor
ida limestone. The contra ctors under Cap
tain Gillette, the firm of Christie, Low &
Heyworth, have placed in the jetties 30S. 800
tons of granite, which is brought distance
of several hundred miles, and yet its con-
tract price in THE work is only 81 90 to 81 Is
per ton, according to the size used Thus
the work Is being conducted with such
economy that, not withstanaing the half
million dollars and more stolen out of the
early appropriations by the Carter con-
spirators, Captain Gillette bids fair to finish
the entire work of Improvement at Cumber-
land sound with a total outlay by the gov
eminent, including its losses by the Carter
frauds, less than the amount originally es-
timated as the cost of the work by a board
of engineers.

Venezuela's Wealth.
From Parsons Magazine.

From Parsons Magazine.
One of natures most generous endow-
ments to Venezuela is rubber, for which
the demand of the world Is increasing,
while the resources are by no means keep
ing pace with civilizations needs. With
the wants of the world increasing in such
enormous strides, 1t is only a question Of
time when the producing of rubber must
be undertaken upon a large scale and un-
der regular methods of planting, culture
and harvesting. Venezuela offers here a
rich field to enterprise; for, rudimentaIy
as are the methods of the present, they
produced 10000 pounds from the Rio
Negro and Orinoco valleys alone one year
ago. Explorers in the upper reaches Of
the Orinoco and Rio Negro have reported
that there are available about six million
rubber trees. counting only those within a
certain distance of navigable water. Every
tree Is good for about five pounds Of crude
rubber per annum, making the possible an
nual output of the two valleys S0O00.000
pounds. At present it is no more than
200 pounds. II the tree survives the
attacks of inexperienced or fmprovidcnt
gatherers in its youth. 1t is good for a CEN
fury of productivity
