Superiority Of oregon Sheep.


These Montana sheepmen in general
recognize the superiority Of the Ore
gon merino, and while our wool con-
tains more dirt than does the Montana
wool, It is also OF longer staple and
much finer and these are the influ-
ences that should govern the prices
The fact is that statistics prove that
Montana wool shrinks SO per cent and
oregon wool shrinks 20 percent. After
securing the oregon wool has every
year commanded as much, and during
the years 1903 and 1907 has COM
manded more per pound than has the
secured Montana wool. which shows
that the difference in quality is in
our favor.

SUBSTITUTE FOR FRESH EGGS.
City Bakeries Use Them Powdered
An Appetizins omelet.

Powdered eggs are used by many
bakeries and have been looked upon
as successful in making custards and
dishes requiring many eggs. fhe
fresh egg is unquestionably the mos'
wholesome and to be desired above all
others. yet 1t is seldom that city
dwellers procure them unless they are
well acquainted with the source o.!
supply. as cold storage and various
methods are resorted to to hold eggs
of the market until the prices have
risen above a certain figure.
When eggs are very high the omele'
is forbidden luxury in many house
holds. says the Delineator. Al
omelet made in this manner, however
will meet all the demands of economy
and will, at the same time. be as ligh,
and fluffy as though prepared in the
ordinary and more costly way. Put
cupful of finely-crumbed bread into
bowl. and pour over it two-thirds OF
cupful of sweet milk. When the
bread has become thoroughly mois'
tened stir it with a spoon until it IL
entirely smooth and free from Jumps
Add the yolks of two eggs. beating
them into the bread and milk one at
a time. then fold in the stifiiy whipped
whites and pour into well-buttered
baking dish. Bake in moderate oven
until well set. A pleasing variation Is
to sprinkle the top of the omelet with
grated cheese and paprika before re-
moving it from the oven. If sweet
omelet is Cesired a general sprinkline
of maple sugar will prove pleasing.

Number Number

This country has eight ready for
service and eight under construction.
The earlier boats of the class now
in service have a length of 63 feet

los tons, and when submerged of 120
tons. The four newer and larger ones

and Viper--are los feet in length and
have a displacement of 200 tons. But
the prevailing tendency toward in
crease in size has affected submarines
as well as battleships. and the latest
one to be authorized is to have a ton
mage of 500. 1t is now realized that a
seagoing submarine is impossible on
a small displacement and that the op-
GRAFTON of the moderate-sized boats
are very restricted. Consequently
either the size of the boats must be
enlarged or else they must be rele-
gated as substitutes for mine fields or
for forts. OF the submarine as a sub
lstitute for forts very little has been
said, but there seems to be something
in the idea. 1t is conceivable that the

Dreams that become realities. Over
and over again has the world wit
messed such development and no
claim can be made for the future part
which the submarine and the airship
are TO play in warfare. which seems
impossible or improbable. although
there are many military experts who
smile at the idea that either the sub
marine or the airship will ever be
much more than novel freaks in mill
tary equipment. But on the other
hand the big world powers continue to
buy and build the submarine and to
experiment in air navigation and
there is no telling what may not be
accomplished in the years to come in
perfecting these engines of war along
practical lines.
The recent shipment from New York
city of two submarines, destined for
the Philippines. and the near approach
of the extensive maneuvers which
have been planned for the rest of
the home fiotilla are again attracting
attention TO the type of craft which
carries its load line over the hatch.
In the discussions which have taken

would be as likely to keep raiding
cruisers at distance as would a fort.
Submarines are mobile while forts are
not. But destroyers might be able to
render them useless. which they GER
tainly could not accomplish with forts.

her type. which are to take part in

as the Plunger. Shark and Porpoise.
They are of greater structural
strength. and said to be able to stand
the pressure OF being submerged 800
feet. though 200 is the official depth
that was required at the Newport
trials.
One of the many novel experiments
that have been planned lies in the ef-
fort to determine whether the pres
ence of dirigibles can be detected by
means of balloons or by dirigibles. A
scientist. soon after the Kingston
earthquake. accidentally discovered
that submerged bodies may be more
readily detected from a balloon soar
ing at a great height than from
ships rail. He had made an ascent
in a balloon for the purpose of gain
ing comprehensive view of the ruins
and altered coast line. and then noted
that the further he drew away from
the water the clearer submerged OBJ
jects became. In this way he was
able to note the changes which had
taken place in the sea bed.
His report gave a hint to our navy
officers. and this knowledge is now
to be applied to the detection of sub
marines-rather it is to be utilized for
the purpose of determining whether
Submarines are as amenable to detec-
tion from balloons as are tropical sea
beds.
The radius of action of the Octopus
and her type is about 100 miles from
base. These vessels are equipped for
warfare with two 1s-inch torpedo
tubes. Submergence is accomplished
through the filling of the various bal.
last tanks, which include the forward
and after trimming tanks, a midship
tank. main ballast tank and several
auxiliary ballast tanks which are dis
tributed in various parts of the boat
The Octopus carries very little re
serve buoyancy, about 500 pounds, and
submerges by pointing the bow down
about eight degrees. using the horizon
tai rudder for this purpose. To main
tain submergence after reaching the
desired depth. the bow remains
pointed down about three degrees,
with slight variations in each boat.
To return TO the surface the amid
ship tank is first blown.
One of the features recently in
stalled is copper signal buoy, Is
inches in diameter. which is arranged
to be readily released from the inside
in case of danger while the boat is
submerged. This rises s-immediately
to the surface, indicating the exact
position of the craft, and serving as a
distress signal In case OF an accident
