An Essay On Eggs.

An egg is composed Of four parts,
the shell, the yolk, the white and the
price. Tie shell is very fragile like
one of the ten comm andments, and
can be broken without an effort. The
price is the biggest part of the
egg and its greatest protection. The
price alone has saved millions OF limo.
cent young eggs from being boiled and
eaten.
Eggs are very delicate, and spoil
very quickly. When an egg spoils 1t
puts its whole heart into the perform
ance. One can tell a spoiled egg as
far as it can be seen, and with ones
eyes shut at that, if the wind is in the
right direction.
There was time when everyone ate
fresh eggs in summer and went without
in winter. Nowadays, however, bust
ness methods have led men to buy all
the fresh eggs in summer and store
them until winter, when they have
acquired rich, russet flavor.

DivininE Rod Is Useless.

The United States geological survey
states in Water Supply Paper 255,
entitled "Underground Waters for
Farm Use," just reissued. that no ap-
pliance, either mechanical or electric,
has yet been devised that will detect
water in places where plain common
sense and close observ alton will not
show its presence just as we'll. Num-
erous mech anical devices have been
proposed for detecting the presence OF
underground water, ranging In COM
plexity from the simple forked branch
of witch hazel, peach, or other tree to
more or less elaborate mechanical or
electric contrivsnces. Many OF the
operat of theee devices, especially
those who use the home cut forked
branch, are entirely honest in the be-
lief that the working OF the rod is In
Auenced by aeencies-usually regard
ed as electric currents following un.
dereround streams of water-that are
entirely independent of their own
bodies, and many people have implicit
faith in their own and others ability
to locate underground water in this
way.
In experiments with rod made from
q forked branch 1t seemed to turn
downward at certain points independ-
eut of the operators will, but more
complete tests showed that this down.
turning results from slight and, until
watched for, unconscious muscular
action, the effects of which were com.
municated through the arms and wrists
to the rod. No movement Of the rod
from causes outside the body could
be detected, and it soon became OBJ
vious tha at the view held by other men
of science is correct-tb at the opera.
tion of the "divining rod' is generally
due to unconscious movements OF the
body or of the muscles OF the hand.
The experiments made show th at these
movements occur most frequently 8,
pl laces where the operators experience
has led him to believe that water may
be found.

WATCH MONTANA GROW.

Oae OF the best evidences that new
and permanent settlers are coming to
Montana Ia shown In the large sales
OF state lands which are constantly
being made. and all Of the moneys so
received represent material growth
and development of the states re-
sources. According to the report m ade
by the register of the state land office,
there was received from the sale of
lands for the previous thirty days the
amount of s345. .533. 10. From the be-
ginning OF the fiscal year last June
up to the present time, the sales ag-
gregated o., 298, ,533.0l. For the past
calendar year, from last January to
the present date, there were taken in
from the sale of lands %, zoe, 900.
It ia not known how many settlers
are represented by this large amount
OF money, says the Helena Indepen-
dent, but it shows In no uncertain
way, that Montana Ia progressing re-
markably we'll in the development OF
its agricultural lands. Under the Law
all the moneys derived from the sale
of these lands Ia for the benefit of the
school system OF the state, and With q
progressive development of the schools
there must necessarily come q highe,
standard of citizenship. The state al
the present time owns land at the
ee''msted value OF ESQ. .000, 900, and &C
cord!ng to the sales of the past yeal
1t the same ratio should continue
these would all be disposed OF within
the next twelve or fifteen years, whicl
In the same time would bring man,
thousand more settlers. 1t does no
appear to be an unwise move to dis
pose of the lands as soon nossible
for this would mean an acc oa,atio
of . large fund. the interest on whic
would in itself contribute largely t
the support of the schools <, nuc
OF the principal remain intacv.
The point that stands out in thi
transaction is most encouraging, fo
there is nothing at the present tin
that is more needed in Montana Gnu
