Charcoal effectually clears and i'm

IL absOrbs the injurious gases which

A Russian Regiment.

The Russian infantry regiment con-
sists of four battalions, and each bat
talon has four companies. There is
one extra company to every regiment,
making seventeen In all. On the peace
footing the company means over 100
men, besides the commissioned off,
GERS. So the regiment consists Of
1867 men, 20 officers, and rs horses.
On the war footing, which Is what the
dispatches deal with now, the strength
is doubled. Hence the regiment be-
comes 70 officers, 3945 men and 100
horses. In actual field operations, Of
course, the numbers are reduced, more
or less, by the sick list, the men de-
tached for various duties, and the
breaks in the lines made by death
and untitled by recruits. But 1t is al
ways safe to reckon q Russian regi.
ment on the war basis at not less than
5000 or $500 men.
There are regiments, however, very
different from the regular infantry or
ganization. The so-called rife regi-
ments have but two battalions. On
the peace footing they consist of SO
officers and 1909 men, with II horses.
On the war footing there are 35 OFF,
GERS and 1898 men.

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

New and Simple Recipe Given by Ger.
man Papers.
A new and simple method of testing
eggs is published in German papers.
It is based upon the fact that the air
chamber in the fiat end Of the egg in
creases with age. II the egg is placed
IN 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 day. A fresh egg
lies in horizontal position at the bot
tom of the vessel: an egg from three
to five days old shows an elevation at
the fiat end, SO that its long axis forms
an angle Of 20 degrees. With an egg
eight days old an angle increases to
IS degrees; with an egg IA days old
to 80 degrees, and with one three
weeks old to Is degrees, while an egg
a month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end.
