artificial Eggs"


From the New York Globe
1t is rather hot weather to be serious
about anything. least of all, perhaps, SO
highly technical and abstruse a subject as
the artificial manufacture of eggs. But
somebody in the Arena makes the state
ment in an offhand incidental sort of way
that already eggs have been manufa ctured
by artificial means" AS the article in ques-
preceding the one just quoted predicts that
"our milk, eggs and flour will eventually
be made in factories" 1t is evident that
the writer Is referring to hens eggs.
In some not readily accountable way this
discovery. which is little short Of revolu-
tionary. has escaped the attention of the
scientific press. In fact, the puzzle OF al
bumen, the organic basis of the egg. has
not yet so far as science knows, been
solved. Under these circumstances the
statement Of the Arena writer Is really in
the nature Of a physiological bombshell
With no desire to put this scientific anarch-
list to unnecessary trouble. We cannot for
bear asking the address Of the man who
makes or has made laboratory eggs.
Aside from the importance OF locating
this epoch-makins individual, the American
hen and her owners should be given the
geographical information necessary to look
Into the matter thoroughly. II the hens

warning so that she may turn her produce

It to the public, hen as well as human, to

magician. Until he does this no attention
should be paid to his claims.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
PARIS, September 1, 1906.
When I first knew my janitor's daughter
she was sewing girl and later mannequin
with Paquin, the great dressmaker.
Now she is one of the famous Paris beau
ties-"Dicka" by name-feted and photo
graphed. with her coupe, her landau and her
auto. So her story is worth telling; and, as
she is not proud, but keeps heart full of
sympathy for her old companions her rem
iniscences contain good tips for American
girls who dream of studying dressmaking in
Paris.
There is always promotion for good taste
in Dress says my janitor's daughter. This
she gave me as her golden text.
when 1 went to work sewing girl at
Paquin's,'' she began, II was considered
fortunate in the quarter. My position, al
though humble. gave me almost perfect OPP
portunity to dress correctly"
You saw the new styles, l admitted.
II also saw how individual costumes were
made to look smart and right on individual
persons" she corrected. 'On the street it
pleased me to note the envious approval of
other women that a successful costume al
ways calls forth. On the other hand the
admiration of the men was troublesome
troublesome but instructive" unused Dicka.
From it 1 came to learn that the Partisan
man admires the smarty fitting, ahead-of-
date gown more than the woman in it.

in the newest fabrics, the newest
shades. l came in contact with the most
celebrated women of Paris-fashionable and

it means the egg-producing power of
all kinds Of domestic fowls, including
ducks, geese and turkeys and their
product sold for food in the market.
The dairy products Of the country is
credited with $50 millions of dollars
per annum. If there might be added
/ to the previous figures about the
American hen all the poultry of all
kinds and their eggs that are produce
ed upon small town and village lots,
/ the actual production would come
very close to the dairy branch of our
live Stock"
The government tells us the poul-
try business of the United States pays
400 per cent, profit per year, and in
spite of all this farmer will work
from morning until night in the fields
to gain livelihood where if he would
spend onc-half the time with hhs
chickens that he does with his cattle,
he would be far better off at the
end of the year. He will spend half
a night fussing over sick calf or pig
that if when sold he would raise the

be double.
