have been scarce and high an winter.
There has been no change in the price
of bread, despite the abnormal quota
tions which prevail I'm some places In
the price of wheat and -four.
Fish and other sea food continue
higher than usual, because OF the dlhi-
Guilty in getting AT them.
Among the new things in market to-
day are strawberries at as cents a
box. They came from the South, OF
course, and are pretty fair specimens.

Waterproofne Cotton

The recent discovery Of a method by
which an ordinary cotton cloth can be
made as waterproof as sheet tin is re-
garded as a marked achievement in
chemistry.
Subjected to the new treatment, the
limsiest Of fabrics becomes so impervious
to water that if bulged or folded in the
shape of a bowl or pocket 1t will hold wa
ter for days without letting a drop escape
through its meshes.
The signihcantp rocess in the new
treatment is the liberation Of a gas, such
as carbonie dloxide, simultaneously with
the precipitation upon the fabric Of var
ious chemical reagents. The result is
that this gas in a finely divided state,
merges with the insoluble compound en-
ployed and is held fixed in this chemical
coating in such a way that water even
under pressure, cannot press through II.

singular story from Russia. relating to

to the neighboring poultry farmers that
she should relieve them from the trouble
and expense of using %incnbators for
Matching chickens and turkeys.
They agreed, and the eggs. carefully
secured from injury In wooden Eases and
packed in WOOL. were placed in the chill
dren's cots, which were constantly &C.
cupied. day and night, by the six little
ones in turn during the three weeks re-
quired for incubation.
AS each of the cots contained 400 eggs
200 on each side-tEe human incu-
bators succeeded in Matching 1.200 eggs
alta time, for which they received one
cent an egg, or $12. Their earnings,
therefore. for lying in bed for Fl days
amounted to exactly four dollars week,
a sum far exceeding the average wage
of a Russian skilled workman In the
