Powdered Eggs.

Much interest is felt among Ger
man chemists over the reported de-
gree of success which has attended
efforts to preserve eggs by desicca-
ton. United States Consul Norton.
of ChemnitZ, Germany, writes:
"The process was invented by a
chemist at Victoria, Australia. Eggs.
freed from the shells, are dried at
the relatively low temperature OF
100 degrees Fahrenheit. The opera
ton car be readily executed in con
tanners kept at this temperature,
from which the air has been exhaust
ed and from which likewise the aque-
Gus vapor is withdrawn as fast as
given off by evaporation from the
eggs.
There is no alteration in the
chemical composition of the eggs.
There is simply a loss of the greater
part of the water held mechanically
in combination, as when fruit is dried
by free exposure to the air and sun
OF by more rapid artificial methods,
The egg material can be preserved
for an indefinite period in ordinary
packages.

opinion of Justice John Marshall

Court. In an address before the

Washington Post, said:

years for a larger navy. The great
Importance of a navy is shown in the

lions make no sacrifice to preserve
friendships and do not forbear to DO
certain things because they do not

a cent for what we think of her
navy? Or Germany cares a cent?
How large a navy ought we to
have? That is a question l cannot

Sending in Orders to Replenish Depleted Stocks

New York City.-A canvass of the
sentiment in a dozen important
trades, as expressed by members of
Inherent industries and the edi-
torlal opinions of recognized trade
Journals in the last few days, has
developed a distinctly hopeful tone
ior the outlook for 1908. Of 1907
here is apparently a common opin-
ton-that the first eight months
we're satisfactory to a marked de-
gree, and in some instances sur
passed former records as far as vol
nj OF business was concerned. The
financial disturbances of last fall,
however, brought about a great
mango in this respect, and several
trades suffered severely. A state
ment of conditions in a majority of
the trades covered appears to those
interested to justify the eXpec-
tatlons OF good business in 1908.
Particularly is this the Ease in a
good many of the dry goods trades.
A member of one of the largest inn
porting houses in New York, whose
buyers reach every important centre
IN Europe and with statesmen in every
section of the United States, declared
that the reports which his firm re-
ceived were distinctly encouraging
for a trade recovery all over the
country. The reports from all over
the Middle, Western and Southern
States indicated the best Christmas
trade among retailers on record.
These reports covered San Francis
co, Portland, Los Angeles and Ia
coma on the coast; Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Milwaukee and other cities in
the Middle West, and several cities
such as San Antonio, in the South
west, Atlanta, in the Southeast.

has been none from the West. Just
across the water there is a country
with an immense population whose
commerce we are seeking. We re-
fer to the people of Asia as the yell
low race There are 00,000,O 900
Chinese, as strong physically and
mentally as we are.
There is owe there another ma
ton whose people are progressive
and ambitious. We may some day
see a skilled army in Japan of from
100000 to 10, 900, 900. They will
say: You claim Europe as your
country. This is ours. Get out!'
don't think they have any such
idea now, and we have no hostility
toward them. But there will be a
conflict between the yellow race and
the white race that will shake the
earth. When it comes l want to see
this country with a navy on both
oceans that will be strong enough"
In conjunction with his belief in
the obligation to build ships, Justice
Harlan holds that it is the duty of
the country to fortify thoroughly
every seaport under the American
flag and make it impregnable. War
comes suddenly, he says, and from
the most peaceful outlook it may de-
velop before it is possible to make
preparations, or even to build a
battleship, much less a navy.
He believes that a nation which is
weak in martial spirit, or which has
not a strong navy, is in danger of
being forced into war when it is
not desired. and when the nation is
least able to meet such an emergency.

Modern Hindu Women.

Within five short years a great
change has come over a section of
the native population of Lahore.
Children of native gentlemen can be
seen being taken out for an airing
by ayahs morning and evening. Ger
tain bold men have begun to take out
their wives in the evening for a drive
in open vehicles.
A week ago we saw the daughter
of a nan of position walking with
her father on the railway platform
at Lahore. She was dressed in what
seemed like an English gown, had
English shoes on, and when her hus-
band came up left her father and
walked about with him. Her face
was quite uncovered. Let those who
have relatives in Lahore go there
and see for themselves the state of
things. They will see wives going
out shoulder to shoulder with their
husbands in the evenings, having said
good by to old restrictions.
A man who would dare reimpose
the old manner on his womankind

Combined with this continued de-
mand upon the retailer is the fact
thai little or no goods have been
bought since the early fall, and
stocks are becoming relatively ex-
hausted. From the source referred
to above it was learned, for ex-
ample, that one house in a Southern
city sold $4,000 of goods in No.
vember and bought $4,000. AS a
result, orders which were Cancelled
are reported as being renewed and
new orders received to replenish
stocks that were neglected in the
weeks of uncertainty following the
financial furry.
Coupled with this increase of de-
mand, an improvement in collections
is reported in many branches of the
dry goods trade, which bids fair to
bring that element of the business
back to normal within a comparative
ly short time, SO far as the interior
of the country is concerned. The
prediction is being made in dry
goods circles that this fact coupled
with the release of boarded money
by interior banks will operate to ease
the money situation materially with
in the next sixty days.
Reports received by one large
house from nine different centres of
manufacture for exports on the other
side of the Atlantic indicate that the
European trade organizations and
the individual producers, regardless
of such membership, will do what
they can to maintain prices with. the
idea of curtailing production rather
than create a situation where prices
will have to come down, to the injury
both of the producer and of the
American imnorter.

Plague of Wolves in Canada.

James K. Cornwall returned from
a months trip to the northern coun-
try beyond Athabasca Landing,
writes an Edmonton correspondent of
the Toronto Globe. Mr.. Cornwall
states that the wolves are creating
devastation and inestimable loss
among the settlers of the upper
Peace River district.
At Dunvegan and Fort st. John
more than $4,000 worth of horses
have been killed by wolves. The rea-
son for the ravenous rampage of the
wolves is the scarcity of lynx and rab-
bits, which have died off or migrated
in large numbers.
So numerous have the wolves be-
come and so desperate in their in
vasions that for the first time in the
history of the north the Dogrib Indi.
ans have been unable to pay their
debts at Fort Vermilion because the
wolves have regularly cleared uI
their traps and bait and have even
devoured their dogs.

er and trader of Hay River, killed

Railroads Across the Andes.

The prophets predict ere many
years have passed there will be at
least three railways across the Andes,
n of them trans-continental, the
others connecting with steamers on
the Amazon or its tributaries.
The line which now runs from Val
paraiso to Juncal is to be extended
through a long tunnel which in five
OF ten years will be finished, and it
will connect with an Argentine road
at Mendoza.
The remarkable central Peruvian
road, which rises 5000 feet in fifty
miles from its terminus and crosses
the eastern range at an elevation of
1866 feet, will in no great time be
ready to carry passengers to the
Ucayali River; thence there is an
500 mile river journey ere the trav-
eler reaches the head of navigation
for ocean going vessels. And that
place is 1000 miles from the Atlantic.
Another line further to the north will
greatly shorten the journey.-Chica-

by the Decision.
Philadelphia.-The two-cent rail-
road fare law now in force in Penn
~sylvania was declared unconstitution-
al by the State Supreme Court by a
vote of 4 to 8, which affirmed the de-
cision of the Common Pleas Court of
Philadelphia last September.
The opinion declares that the real
question is whether the law trans
crossed the provisions of the Consti-
tuition that the legislative power to
alter charters shall be exercised only
in such manner that no injustice shall
be done to the corporators. CONTINUE
ing, it says:
1.-THE court below found that the
act does injustice to the corporators,
in that it reduces the returns from
the property to such an extent as to
render it unremunerative.
THE corporation is entitled to
make a fair profit on every branch of
its business subject to the Limitation
that it's corporate duties must be per-
formed even though at a loss. Tho
conclusion of the court below that
the enforcement of the act of 1907
against the complainant would Go in
justice to the corporators is beyond
just criticism"
The Justices who dissented hold
that 1.-THE power to supervise rate
charges of a quasi public corporation,

ill., orro 1f ILA Cfofo ond +hot @t,o

in determining whether a rate for
transportation is reasonable or not,
all the revenues should be consid-
cred, including all the revenues from
freight, expressage and all other
sources"
If any Federal question is involved,
| the city of Philadelphia may appeal
to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The two-cent fare law was enacted
by the last Legislature. The rail.
roads fought the bill, and after it be.
came a law the Pennsylvania Rail.
road instituted suit in the Common
Pleas Court of Philadelphia restrain
ing the County of Philadelphia from
enforcing the law. The railroad con
tended that the law was unconstitu-
tional in that it was unreasonable
and confscatory.
The county took the case to the
State Supreme Court.
Harrisburg, Pa.-The action of the
State Supreme Court in the rate case
was anticipated. 1t is believed that
the new State Railroad Commission
will take up the matter with a view
to recommending a bill that will meet
the objections to the present measure.

BANISHED q.
Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee even after they know it is doing
them harm is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is proper
ly made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with ervou headaches for
weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
zone day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of
mine had done who had taken to
Postum. But mother was such a
slave to coffee she thought it would
be terrible to give it up.
FINALLY, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morn
ing while she was drinking Postum
so freely and with such relish l asked
for a taste.
"That started me on Postum, and
! now drink it more freely than l did
coffee, which never comes into our

DYNAMITE PLOT
AGAINST OUR FLEET
Tale of Anarchist Conspiracy to
Blow Up BattIeships at Rio,
FRUSTRATED BY THE Police
Announcement by Chief at Rio ia
metro That Conspirators Have
Fled-Detectives Searching For
Head of Alleged Conspiracy.

Head of Alleged Conspiracy.
Rio Janeiro, Brazil.-The Bra
lillian police announce they have dis
covered an Anarchistic plot here
having as it's object the destruction
of part of the American fleet now
lying in the harbor.
In an official note sent out by the
Chief of Police he says:
Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janeiro the
Brazilian Government received from
Washington and Paris advices that
Anarchists of different nationalities
intended to damage n or several
of the ships of the American fleet.
1.-THE naT>s and addresses of the
conspirators were indicated by infor-
nation which the police here had
received previously from France
and Germany. The police of this dis
trict are working with the police of
Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes, and
l am sure every %precaution will be
exercised and the most rigorous vigil
lance observed both on land and at
sea to prevent any injury being
DONE"
The Chief of Police, after having
made this official statement, said that
he did not feel he should go into
any further details with regard to
the conspiracy, but he authorized the
statement that the plot was organ
lied by one Jean Fedher, who resides
in P%etropolis, and he added that the
people of the United States could rest
easy, as all of the conspirators had
taken refuge in the interior.
The conspiracy, while ~centering in
Rio Janeiro and ~Petropolis, had
ram~iications in Sac Paulo and Mi
mas Geraes.
The man Jean Fedher was the
chief conspirator here, but it is I'M
derstood foreign Anarchists were
deeply involved in the plot. 1t is be-
lieved Fedher has fed to Sac Paulo,
and members of the police who know
him have been sent to that place for
the purpose of apprehending him.
One of the detectives, who was well
acquainted with Fedher, having
served on the police force at Petro-
polls for some time, returned from
that place after having made investi-
SdtlOIS Iu6Te, anu udu d lOuS COu-
ference with the Chief of Police at
Rio Janeiro. The latter gave it to
be understood later that the Sac Pau
10 police are on the track of the arch
conspirator and expect to arrest him
soon.
As yet the people of Brazil are
ignorant of the details of the plot
to do injury to the visitors, although
there has been some slight inkling of
the matter. The impression which
the exposure of this plot will create
here will be a profound one, because
it is the first Anarchistic conspiracy
that has ever been known in Brazil.
The police of Sac Paulo have sent
word that they are on the track
of the malefactors, who, they declare,
will not be able to come to Rio ia
metro.

Chicago.-John R. Walsh, former
president of the Chicago National
Bank, which closed it's door in De-
cember, 1905, was found guilty on
fifty-four counts of the indictment
against him charging misapplication
of the banks funds. The verdict was
returned by a jury in the Federal
District Court here. Walsh was per-
mitted to remain at liberty under the
bond furnished by him after the in
dictment had been returned against
him one year ago to a day, pending
the hearing of arguments on January
20 on a motion by his counsel for a
new trial.
The penalty fixed by the statutes
for the offense of which the aged
financier was convicted is imprison-
ment for not less than five years or
more than ten for each count upon
which his guilt is established.
