tinue to enter the >Constitutionalist
lines. In addition to the 800 who sur
rendered on Friday, between 400 and GOO
more presented themselves TO Col. Fruc-

Cruz Piedra yesterday. Among them
were Lieut.. Col. Luis Rodriguez, Major
Valdomino Figueroa, Capt. Roberto
Montana, and Capt. Rafael Valenzula,
all of whom made application to join
the Constitutionalist forces. These Of

under Carranza. 1t is believed that the
recent proclamation of Maj. Gen.
Felipe Angeles, of the Mexican regular
army, who declared for CarranZa some
two months ago. has had much to do
in causing decentralization in the Huer-
tista ranks. Angeles, who Is now Car
rarza's war minister, is a skilled tech
niCal officer, and is extremely popular
with the younger element in the army,
having for some years been com-
mandant of the military school at Cha
pultepec. Officers well informed of con-
ditions in Guaymas say that mutiny is
rife within the remaining federal gar
rison of 1000, half of whom have been
iisarmed by order Of General Ojeda,
who is now making plans to take refuge
on the gunboat Guerrero. At General
Carranza's headquarters here it Is de.
clared that the constitutionalists Will
enter Guaymas within a few days with
out the necessity of firing on the town.

The narrow streets are cleaner than
most Turkish cities can boast, and
there are really fine and imposing

COLD STORAGE EGG INDUSTRY
hnfaIiibIe Rule Is for Farmer to Mar
ket Product as Soon as Possible
After Laid.
By NJ. NJ. HAsTINGs.)

&. The cold storage egg industry is a
development of the last twenty-five
years. Undoubtedly the industry as
a whole has been of great benefit TO
both egg producer and egg consumer,
and has tended toward the leveling OF
the price of eggs throughout the year
and has resulted in large increase in
the fall and winter consumption. This
means a larger total demand and a
consequent increase in price.
Owing to the fact that eggs are
spoiled by hard freezing, they must be
kept at a higher temperature than
meat and butter. Temperatures OF
from 20 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit are
used in cold storage Of eggs. At such
temperatures the eggs, II kept in moist
air, become moldy or musty. To pre-
vent this, the air in first-class stor-
age room is kept moderately dry,
which shrinks the eggs, though much
more slowly than would occur with
out storage. The growth of bacteria
In cold storage is practically prevent
ed. II bacteria are in the eggs when
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1913-01-31

stored, the growth will be checked,
eggs are warmed up.
Speaking generally, the cold-storage
egg, while not unwholesome, is in
6erior in flavor and strength of white
to q fresh egg. The cold-storage egg
can be very nearly duplicated in gross
appearance and quality by allowing
Jegsg to stand for three or four weeks
in q dry room. Cold-storage eggs,
when in case lots, can be told by the
GAMBLER because of the uniform shrink
age, the presence of mold on cracked
eggs, and perhaps, the occasional
presence of certain kinds of spot rots
peculiar to storage stock; but the abb
.solute detection of single cold
storage egg by Gambling is, SO far as
the writer knows, impossible.
With the present prevailing custom
of holding fall eggs without storage
facilities, it is frequently true that
eggs placed in cold storage in April
are superior to current fall and early
winter receipts. Cold-storage eggs are
usually sold wholesale as cold-storage
goods, but are retailed simply as
eggs"
The fall eggs offered to the con-
sumer cover every imaginable varia'
ton in quality, and the poorest ones
sold may or may not be cold-storage
stock.
Occasional articles have been print
% hA 60 hot
the cold-storage men were reaping
vast profits which rightfully belonged
10 the farmer, and advising the farmer
10 send his own eggs to the storage
house or TO preserve them by other
means. AS a matter of fact. the cold
storage of eggs has not of late years
been particularly profitable, there hav.
ing been severe losses during several
seasons. Even were the profits of egg
storing many times greater than they
are. the above advice would still b0
unwise, for the storing, removing and
selling of the farmers individual case
of eggs would eat up all possible
profit.
When eggs in the hands of large
operators are properly preserved in
cold storage, the best and most eff.
cient methods known are in reality at
the farmers service. Because of the
severe competition that prevails in
egg storing, the farmer is paid all the
increase in price which the business
will stand. A comparison of the sum-
mer prices of eggs now with summer
prices before days of cold storage will
eubstantiate the truth of this state
ment.

BLACK LETTERS AND WHITE
Former Can BE Read at Greater
Distance Than the Latter, ls
Judgment Of Experts.

There is a tendency on the part OF
railroads to adopt signs with white let
ters on a black background. not realiz-
ing that the black letter on a white
background is easier to read and can
be seen at a greater distance. Thls
follows in an interesting way from
the structure OF the retina Of the eye.
The impression of letter at the
limit of vision is received on the ends
of a small bundle of nerves which con-
vey to the brain a sort Of mosaic I'M
preston. A nerve can only transmit
to the brain information as to whether
or not a ray of light is falling upon it,
and when nerve is partly in the light
and partly in darkness the sensation
is the same as though all Of 1t was
in the light.
1t follows, therefore, that all nerves
on the dividing edge between any
black and white area transmit the SEN
sation of light SO that all white lines
and white areas appear wider and all
black lines and black areas appear
narrower than they really are.
Black letters grow thinner at the
limit of vision and are still recogniz.
able. while at the same distance white
letters grow thicker and cannot be dis
tiHguished. There are circumstances
when it is necessary to use white let
tiers. but in such cases legibility will
be improved if they are made with a
thin stroke and strongly lighted. Black
letters are more distinct if made with
a heavy stroke.-Scientific American
