Eggs in Egypt

From the Scientific American.
 The hatehing of eggs by means of arti- ficial heat has been practiced in China and in Egypt from prehistoric times. In the latter country there still exist an eient egg hatcheries or .'mamals" that have been in continuous use in the same family for many generations. These in- cubators consist of large brick ovens that will hold about 30,000 or 10000 eggs at q time. The fire is built inside the oven and is watched carefully for 10 days, after which no additional heat is neces- sary. The methods of building the fires and maintaining them so as. to preserve the right temperature are trade secrets that are jealously guarded and usually kept in the family. About 60 to 70 per cent of the eggs for the export trade has come to be very important indus try of Egypt. During the winter of 1911- 1912 the export amounting to S3,G0S coo eggs. having value of about cents a dozen. Compared to the price paid in this

 Love Tragedy

Vienna. July 13.--(Special)- IA diary kept by the Archduchess Marie Louise while Bonaparte was paying his court to her with French cannon and Corsican cunning has just. been discovered by the imperial librarian. The contents of this little book of a princess in pawn are being closely guarded and they are said to be most interesting and amusing.
 According to one story going the rounds of Vienna, Marie Louise refers to her arbitrary wooer as "a horrld. fat little man with cruel thin lips and eyes like cat As Napoleon really had remark ably good eyes this criticism Is about as inaccurate as it is unkind. Court officials who have seen the diary say it is written in a very struggling charac.erless hand. showing that the second wife of the ambi- tious master of Europe was as poor a scholar as she was politician.
 The Austrian dreadnaught viribus Unitls, which was launched last fall. Is to be in commission by next Sep tember. Austria Is now very ambitious to be naval power and work on the building of her navy isNgoing steadily l forward, London reports to the con- trary notwithstanding.
 The second dreadnaught of the dual monarchy, Teggethoff. which was launched oh March 15, will become a unt of the squadron at the commence ment of the summer of 1913. The third dreadnaught, begun at Trieste last year, and the fourth, laid down at Plume, will be completed in November or Decem- Der, 1914. and perhaps sooner. It Is thus established that the Austro Hun l garian navy will have the four dread naughts voted in 1911 at its disposition at the end of 1914.

CHILDREN AID TURKS
By CLEMENT J. BARRETT


 Rome, July 13-(special)-A daring feat has just been successfully accomplished by Harry Vail. an American steeplejaclz now tramping his way around the world. A wealthy Neapoltan scientist saw Veil at work cleaning the tall spire of the cathedral at Florence and the cool hardi- hood of the human spider suggested an idea to him. Desiring some photographs of the heart of the crater of Vesuvius in action, he offered Vail q handsome fee and liberal expenses if he would make the descent with a camera and take pictures. Vail took him up, was lowered over the lip of the crater and secured several marvellous photographs. While Vesuvius was merely in mild state Of eruption, the danger of the descent was considerable. Vail Is now looking around for more craters to conquer.

In the hope that marriage would tame her spirit and love of getting into mischief she was given as a bride at a very early age to the then Crown Prince of Saxony. She would have been Saxonys queen today if she had not run away with Glron, the tutor of her own children.

Little children have helped the Arab allies of the Turks in their stubborn re- sistance to the assaults of Italys soldiers. M Georges Remond gives a graphic ac- count of how these infant infantry per- formed heroic service.
 According to M. Remond:
 "Enver Bey made arrangements for the drilling of the numerous children in the camp of Ain-al- Mansur, who are all very keen on the war. There are more than 250 children in the camp schools, and in the morning they learn to read and in the afternoon to drill. They even take part in the fighting acting as messengers to the officers, who send them from point to point with orders or in search of infor- nation. Some of the children are not more than or years old, and it is wonderful the correspondent adds, Ito see them running about the fighting lines"
 M. Remond gives a curious account of the death of MT. J. Stuart Smallwood MT. Smallwood was an Englishman who had turned Mussulman and was known as the Lieutenant Osmond Effendi. He was madly courageous, and carried out all sort of fool-hardy pranks, such as making tea under fire. He appears to have been actually killed in attempting to photograph the Italian fertilization by moonlight for the Illustration The nickle parts of his cameral flashing in the moonlight drew the Italian fire.
