Now the Henless Enn.

The good oldfashioned barnyard
hen Is threatened with a rival in the
field of egg production. DR.. Paul
Walden, an eminent Russian chemist,
IS authority for the statement that
there will be a new labor-saving pro-
cess found in the laboratories before
long, and this will be nothing less
than the accomplishment of the pro-
duction of eggs without the aid of the
hen. Doctor Walden points out that
Professor Berthsen of Germany has al
ready accomplished the feat of ma
king a simple compound of the same
chemical elements which enter into
the composition of an egg, and the
process is largely based on the
modern methods of capturing and
Eurning to various useful purposes the
nitrogen of the atmosphere. 1t will
mot be long, Doctor Walden predicts,
before the egg will be successfully
duplicated IN the laboratory and a pro-
cess worked out that will permit of

LIQUOR TRAFFIC is A CURSE
Federal Judge In West Virginia Dis,
trict Makes Scathing Arraign-
ment of SaIoonkeepers.

In charge to the grand jury of the
federal court in Wheeling, Judge Ais,
ton G.. Dayton of the United States
court for the northern district of West
Virginia delivered scathing arraign-
ment of the liquor traffic. Among 9th.
er things he said:
1t has been my experience, in the
seven years l have occupied this posi-
ton on the bench, that violations of
the internal revenue law are ten times
as many as all the other offenses
against the laws of the United States
put together Why? Because, funda-
mentally, the sale of intoxicating
liquor is not a legitimate and honest
business, and no man can be an honest
man who engages in it. 1t isn't hon
est to destroy man. 1t isn't honest
to take away the bread and butter of
helpless women and children. Gentle
men, 1t isn't honest for any man to
come into your household and take
the bright, strong, vigorous son and
lead him on and on until he becomes a
disgrace to you, an annoyance to his
fellowmen and finally lands in a
drunkard's grave. And yet there isn't
a single saloonkeepers saloon in this
country that does not send every year
Its man to a drunkard's grave, and
more than that; and when dishonest
men once get into a business it Is the
hardest thing in the world to make
them stop.
| want to say that there is not
very great deal of distinction between
the man, in my deliberate judgment,
who stands up, and for revenue pur-
poses votes to license the saloon, and
the man who conducts the saloon. The
good Christian people who go to the
polls and vote for license are the
power behind the throne they are the
power behind the saloon, because IL
they did not vote for license the fell
low could not run his saloon. | tell
you in this country, gentlemen, the
cry comes up, as it came up to Cain,
from the ground to God Almighty;
the victims of this traffic in every
cemetery and every graveyard in this
country cry out to God against us, you
and me, who have permitted this traf-
fee to exist so long. See to it that
In this court all violations of the reve-
nue. laws are thoroughly investigated,
and that, so far as we can see, we put |
ourselves on the side of utter and COM |

In one of the famous lace shops of
Brussels there are certain retired
rooms devoted to the weaving of the
finest and most delicate lace patterns.
These rooms are entirely darkened,
save from the light from one small
window falling directly upon the pat
tern There is only one lace-maker in
the ROOM and she sits where the mar
