IS THIS ANOTHER OF
 LOU STONES WILD MEN

The discovery that the Canaan wild man is an ex-newspaper reporter gives rise to the suspicion in some quarters that he is the famous wild man who was turned loose by Lou Stone nearly 20 years ago to terrorize the region about Winsted and bring all the war correspondents in New York hurrying to the scene.
 The Stone wild man Is historic. For one thing he supplied the only known instance when Stone, who is nominally one of the editors of the Winsted Cit izen, but whose real purpose in life Is the writing of wonder stories for the New York papers, overstock himself. Stone worked-as he still works on space-and he figured that wild man worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $50. But he made such good wild man of him that the story got away from him. It was too big for any one man. All the New York pa pers rushed up special writers, artists and literary specialists, whom Stone was forced to serve as guide, phil osopher and friend without much pay.
 The Winsted wild man began life properly by being first sighted by an eminently respectable and reliable cit izen, one Hubby, a selectman. Next he stole Pat Danehey's jackass, rush. ing into the woods with the shrieking animal under his arm before Dane hey's affrighted eyes. He tackled the horse of college boy, home on vaca- tion, and the collegian came racing in- to town with one stirrup missing and the marks still upon his horses Hanks to prove the story true. A cOrdon of citizens armed with shotguns and re- volvers swept the wood and George Eaton shot himself in the pants with a barbed wire fence. At the first yell of terror from Eaton practically every firm arm in the party was discharged somewhere The New York World said the creature must be a giant ba- boon escaped from circus, and the New York Sun said 1t was the Bur bling Balderdash that roamed the Togly Wood. The only really accur- ate information came from the New York Recorder, which had picture (presumably supplied by Stone) show ing the wild man wearing hair on his shinbones and carrying a terrible club.
 In the end the wild man and the war correspondents went away from there without anything very serious happening. Pat Danehey's jackass was miraculously restored to him and proper repairs were made to George Eaton's pants. Stone hung new motto over his desk by the Citizen g Mad River window. It was inscribed: "Festina Lente.''-Waterbury Ameri-

Will Keep Eggs
 Forever Fresh
Californian Closes Pores of Shells and Triumphs in
 a Test

San Francisco, July 2-Persons who are given to reflection on the marvel ous progress already achieved in the Twentieth Century and speculations on that to come should not overlook one Victor Clairmont of Santa Cruz. MT. Clairmont asserts that he has found the secret of the ever-fresh egg and some of the most substantial men of his city believe him. He does not use lime Or cold storage. He has a solution into which he dips the egg, whereby the pores of the shell are closed and he says the egg will stay fresh as long as any one wishes to keep it.
 MT. Clairmont has specialized on eggs for years and such was his knowledge that about three or four months ago he was brought to Santa Cruz as manager of the egg exchange. It was then that he announced his discovery and exhibited to business men eggs which he said had been kept for more than year. The egg experts put them under the light test and declared that there was decep- been kept long time for there were evidently fresh eggs. The inventor had to submit to lot of chaffing, but finally he demanded test.
 Several cases of fresh eggs were purchased and put through his pro- cess. All were marked for identifica- tion and were then put in charge of the officers of the Chamber of Com merce. They were securely put away in a room of ordinary tmperature and left there for three months Then they were brought forward. Sample eggs were subjected to a strong light test and found clear. Some that were broken were found to have the odor of fresh eggs. So convinced was the committee of business men that they did not hesitate to eat some of the eggs cooked in various styles, and pronounced them all that could be desired.
 What eggs were left of the original deposit have now been put away for another three months, when further tests will be made by the commit tee.
 eClairmont has such faith in his pro- cess that he has bought up all the eggs he could get since he has been here. He now has about 30,000 dozen on hand and does not expect to have a loss on any of them. The State law which forbids cold storage of eggs for more than three months, does not affect him.
