Eggs in a New Style.

dispatch from ottawa, Ont, says:
Australians have devised a scheme to
turn fresh-laid eggs to powder for pre-
serving and shipping purposes.
In a recent report the trade commls-
sioner for Canada in Australia makes
snecial reference to process for desic-
eating eggs now being carried out there,
for which high claims are made, and
which the commissioner thus describes:
Desiccated eggs are not substitutes for
eggs. but newly laid eggs and are treated
hy a process by which only the shell and
water contents of the eggs are removed,
and the whole substance of the egg, yoiN
and albumen. converted into powder.
II Is claimed to have been proved that
this powder win keep for years, and
only requires the addition of milk or
wafer, when the powdered eggs will
reconstitute and be ready for use for
any purpose just the same as newly
laid egg. The powder is rich and at
tractive looking. and is reported by the
government analysts of New South
Wales and Victoria to contain no chem
ical preservative. No part OF the egg
excent the water has been removed IN
the process.

MAKING ROMAN CANDLES.
A Good Deal Like Solitary Confinement
One Man to a Hut.

The most solitary person in the world
during working hours is the maker of
roman candles.
He occupies an isolated cell, says the
Technical World, and nobody comes near
him while he is engaged in his patient
toll.
The wages he gets are high, but not by
reason of the loneliness to which he is
condemned; he is paid for the risks he is
obliged TO take.
The quarters occupied by this eremite
artisan are a tiny house, which might al
most be called hut with floor space
not more than six feet square. Standing
by itself, at least sixty yards from any
other structure, the little building is of
wood, of the simplest architecture.
If it We're TO be blown up the financial
loss would be almost Mia point of some
Importance inasmuch as its diurnal ten
ant is obliged to use considerable quanti-
ties of explosives in the business which
engages his attention, for a roman can
die is a sort of magazine or repeating
gun, with a paper tube for barrel and
balls of fire for projectiles.

Much agitation mas been created the
last few days by the knowledge that men
are trapping the pigeons ON the Common
and killing them for food. not for their
own use even, but purely as a business
proposition, finding ready market for
the birds. II has been printed that there
y no way of stopping the vandalism, as
the birds do not belong TO any one INT
this impression was contradicted bv No
police this morning when the statemcn.

At the annual banquet of the National
Geographic Society in Washington, Capt.
ROAD Amundsen, the Norwegian explor-
er who navigated the historic Northwest
Passage with his little sloop Gjoa, and
located the magnetic pole while on the
way, received the medal for the greatest
geographical achievement of the year.
Commander Peary received the medal
last year, and if DIR. Frederick Cook,
who is now working his way northward,
plants the American flag nearer the pole
than the point at which Peary unfurled
his patched flag, he will receive the next
medal. 1t is worthy of remark in this
connection that both Peary and Amund-
sen are bent upon further attempts TO
reach the pole with sledges, although
those who favor the balloon method are
confident that nobody will ever succeed
by the ice route.

The bacteriologist of Cornell Univer-
sity has revealed conditions in Tompkins
county, New York, which warrant the
belief that New York has become the
dumping ground for tuberculosis cattle
from other states. From what he has
learned through investigation the scien-
600 mich cows in the state are infected
with tuberculosis. New York will now
probably take more interest in legislation
for the suppression of bovine tubercu
losis, particularly the measure proposed
by Secretary Wilson for the suppression
Of interstate traffic in diseased cattle.

The drop in the temperature which has
prevented n disastrous flood along the
Allegheny river afforded an illustration
of the serviceability of forest covering in
the valleys of big rivers. The thaw came
TO an end, the drainage into the river

its banks. With forest covering, and
the turf which underlies the trees, the
water is held back as in "A sponge, and

The general impression that ships can
be made large enough to insure abso-
Lutte safety, barring collisions, will be
somewhat shaken by the report of the
Cunard turbine steamer Lusitania's ex-
perence during her last run across the
Atlantic. Shortly after passing Daunt's
rock, near Queenstown, she was struck
by huge wave which tore from their
fastenings the big steel cargo booms and
spent it's force against the forward bull
wark on the upper or promenade deck.
This bulwark was crumpled like tin, the
walls of the captains quarters were fiat
tened. and ship trembled from stem to
stern while shaking herself clear of hun
dreds of tons of water. The Lusitania
was compelled to slow down, and it re-
quired four hours of laor to clear away
the wrockage and make things snug
for the remainder Cf the voyage.

recent severe test on the Atlantic
coast of a motor boat of the life-saving
service is said to have convinced the
government that such craft can be made
generally serviceable in the saving of
shipwrecked mariners. A wel-con-
structed motor boat ought to be able to
put to sea ON rescue expeditions under
the most trying circumstances. She
should have plenty of power, and be so
built that she will not fill with water as
she dives through the waves.

be done in the way of navigating small
boats from the interior of the CONT

sippi river. but it will not demonstrate
anything of value TO large craft. An
expenditure of millions of dollars lies
between the ambitious schemes of the
ultra river improvement cult and real
ization of the deepest possible channel;
and that channel will probably fall far
below the calculations of the enthusiasts.
