Newest Eaa Breaker.

1t is interesting to note the variety
of inventions which have recently
been brought forward to add to the
comfort of diners and enhance the
pleasure of the hours spent at the
table, pleasant as they already are 10
most Of US.
A Colorado man has Just introduced
an egg breaker which reduces to n
science the breaking of an egg and
makes what was some times a pain
ful operation an interesting bit OF
work. This device consists of an ap-
paratus much like pair of pincers.
with wire handlers and semi-circular
jaws. each equipped with tiny teeth
at the end. Above and below the
jaws are conical springs. forming a
receptacle and byshape of an egg
The egg is placed in these springs
and by gripping the handles of the
device the jaws press upon it. cutting
through the shell as neatly as man
might cut piece of fruit with a knife.
The egg is thus opened not only with
out soiling the colth. but without burn
ing the hands. which was the invari-
able experience in the old way.

The october Century.

The most timely feature of the Octo-
Der Century is the Clermont chapter
of "Fulton's Invention of the Steam
boat" written by the inventors great
granddaughter, Mrs. Alice Crary Sut-
cliffe. This second of two valuable
historical articles is devoted to the
Clermont's making, launching and his
tory; and the narrative includes many
of Fulton's own letters and manu-
scripts, now published for the first
time, in addition to autographic plans
for the Clermont, recently discovered.
Other timely articles of the number
include Mr.. A. Barton Hepburn's dis
cussion of the question: rs Central
Bank Desirable?" contracting the rig
idity of the United States ceNency
with the flexibility of the currency OF
other nations; also two articles on the
growing use of the 'finger-print" sys-
tenn of Identification in governmental
and business circles. Charles B.
Brewer tells of their use in the United
States navy and elsewhere; and Jay
Hambidge has much of interest to say
on the remarkably successful use by
the New York police Of this new meth
cd of identifying criminals.

used. A CONSTRUCTION" mule is 15

Over half the mules sold on the
market are cotton" mules. Most of
them are bought from December 1 to

the dealers who supply them. A
cotton mule must be good mule,
