METHOD OF TESTING EGGS.
New and Simple Recipe Given by Ger
man Papers.

man Papers.
A new and simple method of testing
eggs is published in German papers.
1t is based upon the fact that the air
chamber in the fiat end of the egg in
creases with age. If the egg is placed
in a saturated solution of common salt
it will show an increasing inclination
to float with the long axis vertical. A
scale is attached to the vessel contain
ing the salt solution, so that the incli-
nation of the floating egg toward the
horizontal can be measured. In this
way the age of the egg can be deter
mined almost to a day. A fresh egg
lies in a horizontal position at the bot
tom of the vessel; an egg from three
to five days old shows an elevation at
the flat end, SO that its long axis forms
an angle of 20 degrees. With an egg
eight days old an angle increases to
As degrees; with an egg IA days old
to SO degrees, and with one three
weeks old to rs degrees, while an egg
month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end.
