Wireless Weather.

One OF the principal problems con.
sidered by the International Meteoro-
logical Conference in London last
week was the question Of wireless
marine weather reports. Professor
Willis L. Moore, representing the
United States, urged the necessity OF
adopting regulations that will compel
a ship beyond certain tonnage to
carry wireless instruments and opera
tors and to take at noon, Greenwich
time, daily observation OF the wealth
er. Observations received by ship
would be transmitted to other yes.

the weather conditions over the en-.
tire ocean would In a few minutes
reach the central meteorological Of.
fees In the United States, England,
France, Germany and other interest
ed nations. Forecasts could then be
made and distributed TO the vessels
by wireless telegraphy, II is believed
that a universal system such as this
would be a great factor ia saving life
and property both on land and at
sea. The conference, has adopted an
international weather signal code,
Heretofore American vessels have
used flags by day and lights by night
to convey storm warnings, while other
nations have used balls and cones.
Now any one will be able to read the
weather signals, no matter what his
nationality may be.-Scienufc Ameri'

THE EGG RECORD.

/. X. Felch thinks the egg record
OF hen should not be measured by
numbers, but rather by weight of
egg. His contention is right. Quail
ty and not quantity should be the
governing rule. In a letter to the
writer he submitted the following
results for the month of March:
Thirteen Plymouth Rocks laid 276
eggs, at 2l.3 average per hen; ff-
teen Plymouth Rocks, 334 eggs. ay-
erage 22.4; forty Plymouth Rocks.
S64 eggs, average 21.7; weight of
the eggs, twenty-six ounces per
dozen. Brahmas, eleven bullets
three Of which were hatched Augnst
., lS5 eggs, average 16.9; ten Brah-
mas. l95 eggs, average 1911: weight
OF eggs thirty-two ounces per dozen:
" and 6h ounces for a single egg
mas been known to be produced He
mas four hens that are producing
eggs to weigh thirty-seven ounces
per dozen, The number of aggs a
men lays is only half the record:
weight Is the true test as food sup
ply twenty eggs at thirty-two
ounces per dozen is three pounds.
i've ana half ounces; twenty-five
eggs at twenty-slx ounces per dozen
Is TWO pounds, eleven and two
tnird ounces. The Brahmas, though
tney lay the least in number, law
twenty-one and third per cent. the
greater amount of food supply.

years respectively, are three Of our

would have been given candy.
II save a package OF Grape-Nuts to
a neighbor whose 3-year-old child
was a weazened little thing, i'll half
the time. The little tot ate the
Grape-Nuts and cream greedily, and
the mother continued the good work,
and 1t was not long before a truly
wonderful change manifested itself
In the child's face and body. The re-
suits were remarkable, even for
Grape-Nuts.
Both husband and use Grape
Nuts every day and keep strong and

healthiest boys you can find in a days

Many mothers instead OF Destroy
ing the children's stomachs with can
dy and cake give the youngsters a
handful Of Grape-Nuts when they are
begging for something in the way of
sweets. The result is soon shown In
greatly increased health, strength
and mental activity.

Pekin, China.--American partici-
patton IN the lIankow and Sze-Chuen
railroad loan was assured at the
Offices Of the Foreign Board by Henry
p. Fletcher, the American Charge
d'Affaires, and Liang Tun-Yen, pres-
dent Of the board The loan is to be
increased from S27,50O,000 to S30,-
100000, and American bankers are
to get one-fourth, the three-fourths
going to British, French and German
interests.
Americans are to have equal op-
portunities TO supply material for
both the S2e-Chuen and the Canton
lines and branches; they will appoint
subordinate engineers. and they viii
have also one-half OF all future loans
of the Sze-Chuen Railroad and its
branches, with corresponding advan-
tages.
The details OF this settlement will
be arranged after the arrival here Of
Willard d, Straight, the representa-
tive Of the American financiers. The
protest lodged by Mr. Fletcher against
the completion Of the loan with Brit
ish, French and German interests

This settlement prevents actual

is victory for the State Department,
which has insisted on the fulflment
Of the promise made TO Minister Con-
ger in 1904. The State Department
has fought successfully the alignment
Of the European group which sought
to exclude it. Its victory, department
officials say, augurs well for the fut-
ure, as the dispatches from Pekin in
dicate that American capital will be
placed on an equality with foreign
money in the empire.
The result is another step in the
contamination OF the policy OF the

is in reality not tax upon the privil-
ege of doing business, whatever it
may have been meant to have 1t be,
but is, according TO the fairest con-
struction, tax on profits.
The officers OF the internal revenue
bureau have collected evidence from
all over the country as to the number
Of corporations, and conferences were
held as TO the methods to be pursued
In collecting the tar. No definite
plan will be formulated until the new
commissioner of internal revenue
takes office. The Congress appro-
priated s15O,000 TO assist the Treas
ury Department in organizing a spe-
clal force for the collection OF the tax.
The officers of the internal revenue
bureau express the opinion that this
sum will not be sufficient. and the
next session Of Congress will be asked
to make an additional appropriation.
The tax Is to be paid on the earnings
Of corporations for the calendar year
ending December 81. Returns must
be made before March /, 1910, and
payment be made before June 80, or
heavy penalties will be imposed.

CROP TREATMENT.

Crop bound is caused by the TAX
ing into the crop of some material
which the fowl is unable to digest
and pass on, such as straw, old, long,
tough grass, musty grain and such
things. Some fowls eat so much that
they over-distend their crops and suf-
fer from chronic crop bound. When
noticed early, before there is too
much constitutional trouble from the
condition, the crop should be washed
out carefully by passing into it the
rubber tube Of a fountain syringe.
The syringe should have been filed
with quite warm water. Grasp the
throat of the fowl with the right
hand, holding the fowl in the left.
Let water run until crop is we'll
filled, and by compression on throat
prevent the water running out.
When full remove tube, and, holding
fowl by legs in left hand, head down
ward, compress the crop with right
hand, expelling its contents. This
can be repeated number Of times
until crop is mptied.-Indianapo polis
