EGGS 700 YEARS OLD.

Workmen excevating IN London sixty
seven years ago found a basket OF eggs
at a depth OF thirty-fve feet 1t is sup
posed that the eggs were deposited in the
basket in the early part OF the twelfth
century. The eggs were three In num-

product and were probably laid by some
aquatic bird. Two Of them are entire
but one had been broken. and the escape

colors such eggs had eroded the surface,
only that there were similar indentations
IN the rim OF the basket. though fewer In
number and less conspicuous than those
OF the eggs.
Except these fndented marks two OF the
eggs seemed perfectly entire. and the
third one was also entire In the upper

don is the result of medical treatment
for the disease. Although there is the
ory that there Is no such thing as medi-
cal treatment for appendicitis, II Is
claimed that medical treatment cures SO
out Of every 100.
In 1907 66s patients suffering from
appendicitis were received In the military
hospitals of France. Out of this number
1ss were treated according to the sur
RicaI rite and $50 received purely medi-
cal treatment OF the number operated

but the difference was exactly the same.
Pushing his inquiries still further, DR..
Chauvel found that the French army in
Algeria included both Europeans,
French and natives. In FIVE years. out Of

and Europeans 1877 cases of appendicitis,

NEW LIVERPOOL DOCKS.

The Mersey Docks and Harbor Board

to make very extensive improvements
at the north end Of the Liverpool docks.
It Is estimated the improvement will cost
moro than 80, ooo, ,ooo. The extension
when completed win accommodate the
largest craft Of the future. Arrangements
are also being made to make extensive
improvements at the Birkenhead foreign
animals wharf Six new slaughter houses
and meat stores are to be erected, and
six additional chill rooms will be built,
together with new refrigerator plant
and a covered market for the display Of
meat to purchasers.
An arrangement has been made be-
tween the Mersey Docks and Harbor
Board and the railway companies pro-
viding for tho carriage OF goods In rail-
way wagons from the dock quays to tho

has been the custom for many years. BY

cases. This shows that the disease is
two times moro frequent among the
French IN France than the French In Al
geria and Is ten times less frequent
among the natives. The difference Is
too great to be accidental. DR. Chauvel
thinks the reason is in the aiimentation.
The Arabs are a sober people who eat
little and are vegetarians. When they
eat meat 1t Is cooked TO shrds. So 1t
happens that among the Arabs leading
their ordinary life the disease Is almost
unknown. 1t Is seen more frequently
among the auxiliaries. It Is because the
regime Of the latter Is no more the
regime Of the Arab, but more Ike that
OF the French trooper. But this does
not explain why the European trans
planted to the soil OF Africa, where his
regime hardly differs from that of the
metropolis, should likewise be immune
from the disease
