Chemical Action.

AT first l was inclined to assume that
there existed a direct physical influence
by the extraction of the water from the
eggs upon the colloids remaining in
them. and / used to discuss this possi-
bIIity in my lectures more fully than in
my papers. especially in connection with
the work OF Hardy But at the same
time the possibility Of chemical action
existed and could be accounted Tor by
the fact that loss of water on the part
OF the egg must affect the degree OF the
electrolytic action equally for the differ
ent salts contained In the egg.
''One OF the results might be a change
In the concentration OF certain vital FAC
tors in the egg. and this might lead 10 a
series of certain chemical processes.
"Since our experiments Indicate that
the influence Of alkai upon the process
| OF naturation IS a chemical one, II Is
probable that the similar, though weak
| er effect of hypertonic sea water upon
| the same process is also chemical. II Is

Der of people, however, remain until
May, but all social life is practically at
an end a month earlier. In recognition
of this the majority of the
hotels close their doors until the fall

With reference to this matter of
hotels it may be bodily stated that the
accommodation for visitors to Cairo is
more than equal to that provided in
establishments of the 6rst class a re-
markedly high standard of luxury OBJ

second class ones the traveller will find
the solid comforts of the west very
happily blended with the artistic re-
finements of the East. Perhaps the
most popular-especialy among Ameri-

during the season that one would
scarcely be surprised to hear the eagle
rustling its wings in the entrance hall
is the historic Shepherds. Near at

the Great Nile bridge, and the Ghezi-

up the quartet of Cairo's best known
hotels. The Mena House-although a
first-class establishment can scarcely
be included in this category, as 1t is
situated 10 miles distant from the
capital. Standing practically under the
shadow Of the pyramids and within
easy distance Of the town, 1t enjoys a
liberal share Of patronage. a vi
Cairo Is more plentifully supplied with
mosques than Is even Constantinople.
They number over 800, and in the
majority of cases owe their existence to
the architectural ambition of the
Mamelukes. Certain features are
common to all of them. Among such
are a fountain in the center courtyard,
prayer niche marking the direction of
MEGA and the tomb Of the builder. The
principle mosque Isl perhaps that known
as the Mohammed All. Others near at
hand. and of almost equal beauty, are
the Talun and the Sultan Hassan.

Charles E. Gorham Wants $500 for

The bureau of compensation held a
meeting in city hall last evening for
the purpose of fixing the amount of
damages to be paid to Charles E, Cor
ham for LILO acres Of land which he
owns. and which. adjoins the Spring
side farm property. The land is wanted
by the city as an addition to the Spring.
side home property, to be used as pas
ture land. 1t was stated at the meet
ing that about one acre; of this land
was swampy ground,
Mr., Gorham wants at least $500 for
his property and the city officials seem
to think that this sum is far in excess
of the actual value, as the land is only
assessed for $3.50.
Attorney Perry appeared for the town
last evening, and Attorneys Newton
and Church appeared for Mr.. .Gorham.
E. C. Beecher and George A. Isbell,
real estate dealers, have stated to the
board that in their opinion the land Is
not worth more than 500 an acre. 1t
is very likely that the matter will come
before the courts in the near future.
After the meeting last night the COM
mittee refused to state what action
they intended to take in the matter.

terbury.
About 1880 o'clock yesterday morning
burglars effected an entrance to the
residence of Greene Kendrick, 2O5 Elm
street, West Haven, by means of rails
ing lower window with an axe. The
lower floor was ransacked and then the
men started to go through the upstairs
rooms. They entered Mrs. Hendricks
room first and she heard them and
awoke. She cried out for her husband
and the robbers took flight and escaped
down the stairs.
Mr. Kendrick is interested in gold
mine in Virginia and six little bottles
containing gold ore valued at $35 were
taken. In addition to this, three over
coats, two Masonic buttons, Masonic
charm, SIS worth of cigars and several
other valuables were missing.
The West Haven police and Captain
Cowles We're notified and are now in
vestigating. This is one of series of
burglaries which has occurred recently
in West Haven, and tn town is very
much excited over them.

Waterbury, an ex-burgess of West Ha-
ven, and is at present practicing law.

NEW LINCOLN STORY.

Paymaster John Furey Tells How He
Christened a Photograph Gallery.
Paymaster John Furey, Of the navy,
recently told story of a personal ex-
perience in Washington with President
Lincoln that seems to have so far es-
capped the notice of his biographers.
THE treasury department" said Mr..
Furey. was experimenting with pho
Biography to see to what extent green
backs might be reproduced through
that means by counterfeiters. The ex-
periments were conducted In a little
temporary station erected on the
White House grounds, and were in
charge of Brady, the famous Washing
ton photographer, the actual work be-
ling done by an operator named Alex
Iander Gardiner and an assistant, a
Ired-headed Scotchn1an named Knox.
Mr.. Lincoln became very much in
terested in the experiments, and he
and Mrs. Lincoln often visited the
little shed to watch the operators, with
whom he soon was familiar enough to
call them Alex and Sandy when he
addressed them.
After the experiments had shown
that the colors Of the greenbacks could
not be reproduced by photography
the station was abandoned, ana Gardi-
ner, whom I knew very we'll, deter
mined to leave Bradys sevice and
open gallery for himself on the
avenue. One Saturday after this I
. met him. and he asked me to come
