ELEcTRocuTED EGGS.

IL is possible that the peculiar taste of a cold storage egg. which Is some thing not easy to mistake. may be removed if experiments now being made by an electrical company are successful Says the Inentive Age.
 I, Is claimed that when fresh eggs are placed in cold storage the eggs are alive: that they are slowly frozen to death. and that in spite of the pres ervatiOn qualities of the ice the eggs do not taste good when cooked It is now believed that by electrocuting the eggs the natural fresh taste may be retained and not removed when the eggs are placed in cold storage. The eggs are placed m cold storage metal cap on each end of the egg and then throwing on a pressure of 500 volts. ."-London Globe

Congratulations to the Rev. George J Becker of Montclair who Is to use moving pictures with his sermons In church.
 Moving pictures. in education, in development of the mind and stirring of the imagination. are destined to do a wonderful work Tn this way.
 Attacks on the moving pictures are based on prejudice As well attack the printing press because harmful books are published as attack moving picture exhibitions because harmful pictures are shown.
 Public sentiment and the police should deal vigorously with the harm ful picture. as with the immoral book
 Public intelligence. public educators and public showmen should develop 10 the highest possible point of good use the moving picture.
 In the world of education beyond any question moving pictures will do in the future a work greater than has been done by all the books written in all the long history of education.

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

The Nugget has been given few fl any opportunities to comment upon ou" fire department, during the past eight or nine months. only in q fav- Orablc manner for the efficiency If this institution las restored confi- dence. and the heartfelt fear Is not 70 noticeable when the alarm whistle blows as it was year pr SO ago.
 True we have been aware of the fact that the town has been without lire protection for several days owing to trouble down al the caisson. or the suction being out of commission. but such cannot be attributed to the acts Of the men who go to make ttp the lire department.
 The chairman of the fire department takes grest pride in keeping up the standard of this particular institution giving to the same all the time at tention and care that mother hen does to her brood Of chickens; but he cannot dc everything. his duty being to provide all the necessary apparatus and see that the electric power peo- pie carry out their contract and keep the pumps. suction etc. in good work ing order.
 The department is manned hy men who understand their business and so far have proved to be able fire fighters but We are told chain Is as strong as it's weakest link. and all chains are liable to develop some weakness. The weakest link in our fire department appears to be that which prohibits the turning of water into the mains when the alarm is first sent in. and we will have to admit il Is such a weakness that it needs attention.
 IL involves no extra expense upon the city to have the mains filled when- ever there Is an alarm turned in. even if 1t did. We would demand that such be done for our fire department Is our insurance and we should never allow what can be termed an implied risk. The minute an alarm is turned in the engineer at the power plant dashes 10 the pumps and starts them work ing but the water is allowed to How back into the sea. The gate leading into the main Is not opened until a signal Is sent In for water
 There should be no such signal during the winter months that is one for water. the mains should be filled and then We are prepared for the worst Tn the summer months the fire mains are filled and pressure can be worked up in q couple of min utes. but during the winter season 1t is far different. The mains are empty filled with air and the water has to he forced into the pipes against an air pressure. filling the mains which requires considerable time If the fire

Mayer Hasn't Hit in Two Sea-

A news dispatch from Chicago,
which will be of interest to Paris base
ball fans, is as follows:
"a new major league record was dug
up today. and one which pactically
evey fan of the Windy City had over
looked. Only one person in the whole
town realized what was doing. and
that person is no other than the party
who is establishing the record. Walter
Mayer, sthe Sox recruit catcher, is the
party referred to.
mayer has been in the big league
two season and during that time dues
not know what it is to feel the thrill
of driving out a base hit in a regular
game. 1t is fact. Mayer hasn't hit
asfely once IN a championship game
since joining the Southsiders.
Mayors job with Comiksey is safe.
however. as he is natural ballplayer
and believes in himself. He was
secured from lthe Paris, KY, team of
the Blue Grass League last fall. and
has worn a Chicago uniform since.
And the funny part about his work is
that he led the Glue Grass League in
hitting when the Sox picked him up.
Mayer attracted Comiskey's eye by his
wonderful work in Texas this spring,
and the mogul firmly believes that
some pitcher will forget and lay one
over, and the needed base hit will re-
suit. According to Comiskey, when
he does hit look out -

Kentucky'S Great TrOts at Lex
in6tOn.

Tuesday. October 8, will witness the
opening of the most memorable trot-
ting meeting the world has known.
Never before were so may rich events
programmed for a single meeting,
totalling as they do the magnificent
sum Of $4,000. Aside from the big
stakes there is natural ambition Of
all owners to win at Lexington, now
the worlds breeding center for trot-
ters. In addition the fact that all the
very best horses of the year are enter
ed at Lexington insures racing of the
most sensational order. On the open
ing day alone the three races amount
to $4,000. These include the twenti-
eth racing of the Kentucky Futurity.
SD, 600, for three-year-o trotters' All
the great ones are eligible. sThe value
of the purse, the quality of the field.
coupled with the fact that the Futurity
winner is always hailed as the cham
pion of his year, insures a bitter con-
test of the highest order. Our readers
should not fail to witness it. Half
fare on all railroads. Read the adver-
tisement and arrange to go to Lexing-
ton October s to 10.

Nations Greatest Asset.

The Manufacturers Record makes
the bold statement that the South is
the nations greatest asset. and an
nounces that it is preparing a special
publication in which it proposes to
prove conclusivly that the South is. in
deed, the greatest asset Of the nation.
The Manufacturers Record has under
taken big proposition. but it is one
which appeals to the Imagination and
stirs the enthusiasm. If it can so pres
ent the matter as to convince the busi-
ness world that this section, with its
great natural advantages, is the great
est asset of the country. 1t will awaken
in other sections as we'll as abroad, a
far greater interest in the future OF
this section than has yet been created.
If all Southern States are making the
progress that Kentucky is, it will not
be such big statement to make. for
just now the eyes of all the country
are on the developments of her mex
hausiible supply of coal and timber

Proposes Organization OF County
Fairs.

The organization of a county far
association for the protection of the
rules of the county fairs of the State
is proposed by President Jos. Nj. Hall,
ofkthe Bourbon CountvsAgricultural Sc
ciety and If elected to. succeed :himsslt
in his present position a the meeting
of the directors which Will be hello
some time in January, he will make an
effort to get the presidents OF the vaTl-
Gus county fairs throughout State to
gether, with a view of perfecting such
an organization.
1t is the plan,of Mr.. Hall to form an
organization along. the lines of that IN
which the. State fairs throughout the
country are interested. which is calcu-
laated to provide greater protection TO
both the fair societies and the judges
selected tosotficiate at the annual fairs.
The action of the Directors of the
Bourbon County Agricultural Society
in barring Mr.. Allie Jones. of North
Middletown. from exhibiting at the
Bourbon fair suggested the idea to
Mr.. Hall who believes the rules of all
the fair associations should .be rigidy
enforced and judges In all cases upheld
in their decisions.
A State organization OF the county
fairs governed by the necessary rules
which in event of the expulsion of an
exhibitor from one fair would be en-
forced at all of those held in the State
members of the society and would
have the effect Of eliciting greater
consideration for judges and officials IN
charge.
The proposition which if submitted
to the county presidents should meet
with their hearty approval and the
organization of such society be accom-
plished before the opening of the far
season next year.
