NEW YORK. Produce dealers
~ throughout the country are watch
ing with interest the enforcement of
the ordinance recently passed in New
York requiring dealers to sell eggs by
the pound. When eggs are sold by the
pound the buyer is more likely to get
all that is coming to him. It is con
coded that a fresh egg of average size
weighs more than one that is stale,
there being always more or less evapo-
ration when an egg comes out of stor-
age. The difference is about an ~
to the pound, eight fresh eggs being
equal to nine out of storage.
1t is only the idealist or the optimist
who believes that eggs are either good
or bad, with no halfway about the
matter. Really this is a fond delusion.
There are as many grades of eggs as
there are ways of making an omelet.
The range is all the way from that
rare article, the honestly labeled
strictly fresh" egg down to the "cull."
The Gull Is a doubtful egg from the
start. but sometimes deposits, and
energies months later. Even then it
is not as low as an egg can sink, for
there Is the desiccated egg, which was
laid In China, and has been a world
traveller before getting to the ultimate
consumer here.

rLEVELAND.-White as a sheet
- and shaking like a leaf, Mrs. H. G.
Blandford, Shady Cove, Lakewood,
stood for three hours in great anxiety
on the lake front in the rear of her
home the other morning watching sig
nails of distress from six men in a
swamped power boat three miles from
shore in a choppy sea.
This was after she had done every
thing in her power to save the i'm
periled men. Mrs. Blandford was
looking out on the lake when her at
tention was attracted by something
white waying off shore. Immediately
a thought struck her it was a danger
signal. She rushed into the house for
her field glasses, and through them
could plainly distinguish six men in a
launch bailing water with all their
might. One of the men was frantical-
ly waving a white cloth fastened to a

shop; when he wasn't m~asticating his
books, he was monkeying with the
buzz-saw. At fifteen he had invented
and made a rotary engine. One day
the notion struck him that he'd like
to help Uncle Sam out in the navy,
So he took a shot at the examinations
and scored a hit, landing a job as as.
sistant engineer. Before he reported
for duty the Civil war had broken out,
He enlisted in the Twelfth New York
National Guard, re-enlisted later In
the cavalry, and finally turned up on
the high seas as an engineer on the
gunboats Muscoota and the Stars and
Stripes.
After Gettysburg was fought and
won, his thirst for more education
landed him in Union college. Two
years there were enough for him. The
magic Of machinery called him away
from the academic life, and he found
happiness again by taking up his old
work in his fathers factory. It was
while working there that he invented
the air brake. Railroad managers who
first jeered at his idea of stopping a
train with wind had to eat humble
crow. In a short time the invention
was in universal use and had revo.
%lutionized %railroading, as locomotives
could be constructed that would travel
at a high rate of speed, so long as
they had that little lever in the cab,
which by a single turn of. the en-.
gineer's wrists would bring the train
to a %standstill in half it's length. In
the United States all railroads are
compelled by law to use tho device,
and this was adopted by congress
and everywhere around the great
curve of the. world the whistle Of
Westinghouse" air brake is heard.
His first prominence in electricity
came with his purchase from Gaulard
& Gibbs of alternating electric cur
rent patents. This was in 1885. and
he met great opposition from public
sentiment in trying to perfect and in.
troduce this system for lighting and
power making. At the time of the
Chicago worlds fair in 1893 he re-
ceived the contract for lighting BY
making a bid Of $1,000, 900 under
others. His shop in P%ittsburg soon
became the place where electrical ex
perts of the world gathered. Tesla
went there and received Westing
houses financial and practical help in
developing the induction motor.
Westinghouse built the first ten
great dynamos for Niagara. He also
constructed the dynamos for the ele
waited and subway lines in New York

Sell Eggs by the Pound in New York

These desiccated eggs are removed
from their shells in China, put into
cans with preservatives, and then
shipped across the Pacific and the con-
tinent to this city, where they are sold
in bulk for use in bread and pastry
making in the cheaper bakeries. Some
doubt has been raised as to the nutri-
tive value and legality of those fresh
China eggs az a food product. But
they have one great advantage, from
the consumers point Of view--no way
has been discovered yet Of putting
them into shells and selling them as
fresh laid eggs from a Long Island
farm.
New Workers are not apt to get any
thing more foreign ir the way Of eggs
in their shells than the product of the
henneries Of Germany and Austria.
Within a week, $4,000 dozen of eggs
from those countries have been receiv-
ed in New York City by way of Hull,
England, and are now in the local mar
wet. AS many more are on the way,
and they sell for a few cents less than
the American egg. Covered with a
parafin preparation which excludes
the air, they remain in the fresh"
class for a long time.
1t is possible that if the New York
idea of selling eggs by the pound
proves practical and satisfactory other
cities may follow suit. If they do the
wholesaler declares the retailer must
rearrange his prices to suit. So far as
the former is concerned the rates are
not affected. The average weight of a
IA of eggs is from As to So pounds,
dependable upon freshness and size.

New York.-The recent retirement
of George Westinghouse, for nearly
twenty-five years head of the Westing-

Napoleon of invention.
For many years the name Of George
Westinghouse has. been a name to

wonder article; everything he touched

are filed away in his strong box. His
activities circle the globe; there are
Westinghouse plants in Russia, Can

France. His parent plants are of

To condense the career of this man,

Finally, she ran into the house,
fastened the horn from the phono-
graph and used it as a megaphone.
The wind was so strong, however,
that her voice failed to reach the
men.
1t was sometime before the life
saving boat hove into sight. When the
crew did come, they could not make
directly for the distressed boat, but
were forced to describe a circular
path Of several miles before they
could reach them.
The six men aboard the launch
were members Of a vacation party.j
They left early in the morning in al
rough sea, and when about three
miles off Highland avenue the waves
became so high as to reach over into
the boat. The water crippled the en-
CINE, and the men were at the mercy
of the sea About all they could do
was to cast anchor and bail the water
out as it was rushing in, and try to
signal some one on shore.

and rescued the imperilled men. Or
