big hole In the overhang of the Kronprtnz, was A
subject of discussion at the Maritime Exchange on
the dav of the accident. Several old captains con-
tended that 1t required mighty hard blow from
steamer of great speed and tonnage to sink a
steamer built like the Kronprinz. The shippers be
came reminiscent and IN the discussion the wrecked
steamers Suevic and Milwaukee and the British tor
pedo boat destroyer Syren were cited as examples
Of construction that permitted the saving or at
least half the vessel. The Suevic was damaged

DR. Campanni. an italian scientist, has reported
to the Minister of Agriculture new method of
preserving eggs An account of the process received
b
Campaninis theory is that to preserve eggs some
system must be adopted that will absolutely pre-
vent the exchange between the air outside and that
inside the egg-for It Is this continual exchange that
causes putrefacton. DR.. Campanini selected per-
fectly fresh eggs and covered them with lard. so
as to stop up all the pores. The Shells were thus
rendered imperneable the exchange of air was pre-
vented and the obstruction of the pores not per-
mitting the evaporation of the water there was no
loss of weight. The whites and yellows of the eggs
retained their color perfectly and the taste was not
modified In the slightest degree. When properly
coated with lard-not too thickly-the eggs put
In baskets or boxes upon bed of tow or fine odor-
less shavngs and arranged that there VIII be no
point of contact between them-otherwise mould
will develop and putrefaction result The packing
room should be perfectly dry. the question of tenn
perature not being important. By his process Dr.
Campanini kept quantity of eggs for a whole year
through a very hot summer and very cold win
ter-and they perfectly preserved. He says
that four cents worth OF lard sufces to coat 100
eggs and that any one could easily prepare that
number of eggs in one hours time.

The Berlin "Neue Korrespondenz' publishes let
ter from Constantnople. in which the writer dwells
at length upon the fact that Sentiment in favor
of reorganization of the Turkish school system is
steadily growing. The official Turkish organs of
this city (Constantinople) have within the
weeks published several articles the subject.
They declare the present system antfquated and de-
nand at once more attention to the instruction of
German French and English and that the rising
generation be better equipped for the work before
them than those who have preceded. We know
that no paper would be open in its demands for
reform if its views not shared by the govern
ment and for that there is good ground for
a belief in the speedy betterment of the Turkish
schools
