snt.-sheIIcd Eggs.

1t is generally believed that the soft
shelled eggs occasionally laid by the
len Is due to deficiency OF lime in. the
food. Some experiments carried out
at the experiment station in Kansas,
however, seem to indicate that this is
not the right explanation. 1t rather
appears TO be case of arrested de-
velopment due to nervous shock, and to
be analogous to abortion in mammals.
Soft-shelled eggs were laid at the ex-
pertinent station by hens subjected to
nervous excitement. And ii is shown
that on an ordinary diet a hens sys-
tenn normally contains enough lime for
shells of five or six eggs. If lime is
withheld, then, after laying these five
or six, the hen will cease laying But
IL lime in limited quantity be given, the
hen lays eggs in proportion to the
amount given, though the shells on In
vestigation, are found to be somewhat
thinner than normal.

FertiIixinr Value of Potato Tops.

The mineral that the potato crop
mostly exhausts from the soil is pot
ash, and this Is mainly found in the
tops The tubers have a large proper
ton of water. and their solid matter
is mostly starch. much. if not all, Of
which is taken from the air through
the leaves. If potato tops are covered
lightly, so as TO prevent them from
blowing away in winter, most Of their
substance will be washed away into the
soil before spring. Any one who has
pitted potatoes in the fall, covering
with potato tops. will find in the spring
that the soil location has been en-
riched- This does not come entirely
from the potato tops, for the earthing
up around the pit deepens the soil
Repeated freezing and thawing make it
mora soluble. The potash in the potato
being set free may also contribute to
the same result.

is very necessary ingredient in the
soil. When phosphates are applied
they carry lime to the soil. and the
same is true of ashes. Lime also en-
tiers largely into the composition o. the
bones of animals. and the most rapid
growth is made by those animals which

Whitman, Idaho, and w. S. C. This
meet takes the place of the usual an
nuaI dual contests between the three
institutions.
This year the teams are evenly
matched and one of the most hotlv
contested meets ever witnessed on the
local grounds will undoubtedly result.
For the first time in the history of
athletics at the state college an
electrical timing device will be used.
1t consists of chronograph which
includes a revolving cylinder carrying
long strip of paper on which an
electrically controlled pencil records
the start and finish, and also indicates
each second of time in such a manner
that the time may be determined to
l0Oth of a second. The starting signal
Is given by breaking an electrical cir
cult which is attached to the gun.
The final record at the finish is made
In similar manner when the runner
breasts the tape. This device is a
product of the electrical engineering
department, having been constructed
under the direction of Professor Car
penter.
