to put on the table if they are not per-

are lucky enough TO possess an ice
chest or refrigerator it is generally
placed in the cellar, where 1t is always

full it would be and also the time that
would be saved. The inside compart-
ments can be arranged to suit the In
dividual taste, and the box placed
where 1t would be most easy to reach.
The idea of the inventor is to fasten
the chest, as 1t might be called, on
swinging brackets just outside of the
kitchen window, where it would be
handy to reach. After the article want
ed has been removed from the chest,
il can be pushed back against the wall

Another very great advantage is that
it could be used in winter as well as
summer, as in winter the cold air
would be sufficient to keep fresh all
perishable articles. The inventor is ii.

AN Ecc-sHELL GARDEN.
Just How to Manage a Novel and
Easy Experiment.

1t is easy to have an egg-shell
garden. Carefully cut off the end Of
the egg for about one-third Of its
length, treating it with more respect
than the cook does, for she breaks 1t
in two in the middle by cracking it
on the edge of cup. Fill the shell
with good earth, and plant almost any
seed that you like. If the plant food
supplied in tablets by Nature and
Science is used, the shells may be
filled with sawdust or with gravel.
Plants artifcially fed in sawdust do
not seem to require so many roots
as when they grog in soil. With the
limited space in the egg-shell, saw
dust and the plant food are therefore
preferable to soil. 1t is net difficult
to have plants grow in sawdust until
they are more than two feet high, al
Though there is so little space in the
shell for her roots.
To support these unique, round-bot-
toned flower pot" it viii be found
convenient 10 have board with holes
bored in it Just large enough 70 have
the egg-shells. set firmly, enc in each
hole. Don't get the holes too near
together. Punch a small hole down

storage. These are the eggs we inva-
riably get in the winter time, as really
fresh eggs from the country Is so dear
as to limit the quantity used. The
housewife purchases the cold storage
egs, among which a bad one can al
ways be found, and many a nice cake
has been spoiled on this account 1t is
difficult to tell with the naked eye the
inevitable bad one that slips in occa-
sionally, and it is usually discovered
when it is too late A very simple
device to overcome the chance of a bad
egg getting into the cake or pudding
is shown here. The egg is placed in
the smaller end of the funnel. the 9TH
er end covering the eyes. The peculiar
shape so reflects the light that it is
an easy matter to detect the bad egg
from the good one, and saves the cook
from worrying whether her cake will
be spoiled. There would be no chance,
either, of boiling an egg and after
opening it finding it to be strong and
not fit to eat. A. Blum, of Savannah,
Ca, is the patentee.

SOME LIVELY BALLooNlNG

Aeronauts Caught in Menacing Thun-

For the first mile while slowly ris-
ing. the balloon zigzagged between the
lower currents, until a. approximately
5000 feet it encountered a main sweep
OF air, which at that height was fol-
lowing the course Of the valley be-
low. The horizon had been clear at
starting and the impression was as We
sailed along IL the current that we
should have a fair passage unless
some cloud, not yet apparent in our
wake could ride after us and over
take us at a higher level. where wind
velocity is generally greater. Per
haps. therefore, we paid insufficient
heed to a murky veil ahead OF US,
which began gathering and deepening
and blotted out the view. We were
soon anveloped in this gray curtain and
thus its true appearance was lost to
US: but at Newbury, our starting
ground. a large crowd was watching
Us entering vast and most menacing
thunder pack. and was wondering why
we did not co!ne down.
The first real warning which we had
of our predicament was fash Of
lightning close on our quarter, answer
ed by another on our other side. and
almost before we could realize it we
found we were in the very focus Of
a furious storm which was Being borne

that reached the ground must from our

The forces Of Kuropatkin and Oy-

much stands ont Of the news Of Mon

wardeI by Kuropatiin, who says his
retreat is being conducted in perfect

result of the race IS in doubt. The
