FRANCIS
XIV. of France, Frederick Nv. of Ger
many. Pedro Nv. of Aragon and John
Palaeologus of Byzantium. Francis
Joseph was past eighteen at his sue
cession and has actually reigned for
sixty-five years-a record unrivaled
since 1.-THE days Of old Rameses."
There Is a peculiar fitness In this.
seeing that the Austrian empire Is In a
sense the successor of the oldest po-
litical institution Europe has known.
'Of those who In August, 1906" says
Mr.. Bryce. read In the newspapers
that the Emperor Francis ii. had an
nounced to the diet his resignation or
the imperial crown there were proba-
bly, few who reelected that the oldest
political institution in the world had
come to an end. Yet it Is Sc. The EN-
pire which a note issued by a diplo-
matist on the banks of the Danube ex-
tinguished vas the same which the
crafty nephew of julius had won for
himself against the powers OF the
east beneath the cliffs of Actium and
which had preserved almost unaltered
through eighteen centuries Of time a
title and pretensions from which all
meaning had long since departed"
simultaneously with that resigna-
tion. however. he who bad been Fran
els H.. emperor OF Rome, became
Francis L.. emperor of Austria, what
ever that meant" to quote not Mr..
Bryce. but Mr.. Freeman. And as the
Roman crown had long been In the
possession OF the Hapsburgs and as
Austria had been the dominant state
in the empire, 1t Is by no unit
ting to regard the present Austrian
empire as the direct successor OF the
Roman empire and the grandson OF
Francis III. of Rome as the remote sue
cessor of Augustus.
To paraphrase Mr.. Bryce, we may
say that in 1S48. when the inept Fer
dinand was compelled to abdicate his
throne. there were probably few who
imagined that the timid and untried
lad who succeeded him was beginning
the longest and one of the most i'm
p0rtant reigns In the history of the
Hapsburgs or Of the eastern empire.

Seeking Method Of Sending
Eggs by Parcel Post.
GREAT NEED IS A CONTAINER

Be Greatly Benefited-Chief Of Blu

Been Seeking Such a Device.

Washington.-How to get the egg
from the farmer or the poultryman to
the without the employment
Of the middleman is the problem that
the division of animal h~usbandry of
the bureau OF animal industry has
sought to solve. 1t has suggested,
"Cut out the middleman and bring the
producer and the consumer together
through the parcel post" But DR.. A.
ID. Melvin, chief OF the bureau, says
that this Is easier said than done. The
softness of the eggshell is the great
obstacle in the way. No container that
exactly fills the bill has been found
If the container is secure it weighs too
much; If light enough 1t is not secure.
DR.. Melvin and associates have been
experimenting for months to find the
proper container for mailing eggs.
A hen that lays every day in the
year would be worth her weight in
gold. There were laid in the United
States last year 1,700.O0O,O00 dozen
