Belglum's Sugar School.

Among the special professional
schools that are offered in different
parts of the old world none Is more
unique than the sugar school" re-
cently opened at st. Ghislain, Bel
gium. The course, which covers two
years, leads to diploma. which will
Insure the holder a lucrative post
lion with any Of the large sugar
manufacturers on the continent.
The student body Is of course not
very large. owing to the novelty of
the course, but the curriculum Is ex-
ceptionally comprehensive, including
Instruction In the fundamental un-
ierlying studies such as physics and
general chemistry in addition to
such direct studies as sugar .echnol-
ogy. sugar chemistry. sugar legisla-
ton, industrial factories, sugar ac-
counts, cane and sugar raising, etc.
Schools OF this character are much
needed in the Industrial world, be-
Ing analogous to the technical!
schools which have been found so
extremely valuable.

The white of an egg is nearly sew
en-eighths water, the balance being
pure albumen. The yolk is slightly
less than one-half water. These fig
ures apply approximately to the eggs
Of turkeys. hens, geese, ducks and
guinea-fowls.
To show how nearly alike the
eggs of various domestic fowls are in
respect to composition. the following
figures are given by the Department
of Agriculture:
Hens egg-50 per cent. water, 6
per cent. protein" 33 per cent. fat.
Ducks egg-46 per cent. water.
II per cent. protein" SO per cent.
fat
Goose egg-44 per cent. water. 10
per cent. protein" &c per cent fat.
Turkey egg-4S per cent. water.
IS per cent. protein" 33 per cent.
fat.
1t should be explained that pro
tein" Is the stuff that goes to make
muscle and blood. Fat, of course, Is
fuel for running the bodymachine.
Thus It will be seen that eggs,
though half, or nearly half, water,
are EXTREMITY nutritious, containing
all the elements required for the
building and support of the human
body. But the old saying that an egg
contains as much nutriment as a
pound of beetsteak is far from cor
rect. 1t would be nearer the fact to
estimate pound of eggs as equal to
a pound of lean beefsteak in nour-
ishing power.

Remarkable Wreck Raising,

A somewhat unusual operation In

in Kiel Harbor. Some time since the
torpedo boat IS 1876" sank in port
after collision with another war ves-
sci, and Notwithstanding the known
condition Of the sunken boat the au-
thorities decided to have it brought
to the surface. For this purpose two
floating cranes of formidable dimen-
sions were utilized, and the broken
and twisted hull was fished up from
the depths and swung through the
air like a bale Of merchandise to
lighter, on which It was laid. "he
boat was of steel, and 1t is proposed
