pertinent Station the chief object in
making chemical examination OF
brown-shelled and wh!teshclled eggs
was to determine whether there is any
superiority of one over the other az
to quality. The test shows that the
shells and their color have but slight
effect on the food value of the eggs.
1t has been said by some that the
brown eggs are richer than the white
ones. but this statement is not borne
out by a chemical analysis. and the
physical examination proves that the
main points OF superiority. though
slight, are possessed by the white eggs.
The minute differences that are found
between the two groups are exceeded
by variation between varieties within
the same group. 1t may be stated that
there are practically no differences so
far as the food value Is concerned be-
tween white shellcd and brown shelle.l

THE MISSIONARIES LANDING.
Father Derouet's Misadventures on the
West Coast of Africa

Along the west coast of Africa a bar
extends, with occasional breaks for some
thousands of miles. 1t prevents steam
ships from making landing at impor-
tant towns on the mainland and neceSsI-
tates the transfer of passengers and
freight in small boats. This transfer is
often dangerous.
Father Derouet has written lively ac-
count of his adventure in July last in
one of these boats. He was trying to
land ut Settle Cana, little north of the
Congo. Just before the critical moment
of crossing the bar he saw Father Mou-
lin joyously waving his hat on the shore
Then i'll twinkling a mountain Of
water struck the bar and the boat was

He came down on his head and would
probably have fractured his skull if he
had not landed on the feet of an an
fortunate boatman, which diminished the
violence of the blow.
On the bank Father Moulin saw him
appear and disappear three times and
believing hum lost, gave him absoiution
Ten of the twelve bOatmeu had been
knocked into the sea aud We're struggling
in the waves.
The boat was soon in shallow water
but still far from land. The two boat
men helped the missionary ashore In
the confusion a wooden chest had fallen
on his hips and he was very sore. but
his chief grief on landing was that he
had lost his pastoral ring.

him with this piece of logic as he drew

house:

4 method OF preserving meat has
been brought out in France by II. de
Lapparcnt, which seems to have met
with considerable success. 1t can be
also applied on a small scale for
household purposes, says the Scientific
American The principle consists in
exposing the meat to SulphurouS acid
fumes. BY burning a small amount
OF sulphur in Il receptacle containing
the meat hung up in place it can be
preserved for several days. even I'm
summer. There Is no taste left from
the sulphur fumes, ana there seems
to he no danger to health. Such a
method can be used also on n large
scale for preserving meat for army
use, as it is quite simple and easy To
apply in practice. From experiments
made on a large scale it appears that
