Artificial Eoos,

DIR. Paul Walden, the famous
Russian chemist who is to be president
Of the next international congress of
applied chemistry, declares that the
production of artificial eggs will be the
next feat of chemistry. An egg is n
complex compound Of nitrogen. oxy-
gen. sulphur and hydrogen. Some of
the simpler combinations of these ele-
ments have already been made. and
there is steady progress toward the
goal where even such intricate sub
stances as that Of the egg will be built
up chemically, he says. The nitrogen.
which is the main thing, will be taken
out of the air.

But 1t Is the same old story year after

Now that Manager McGraw has his
entire squad present or accounted for.
he figures that the Giants will make
another winning fight for the champion

physical condition that he expects them

match was arranged that l would
beat Wells. l saw him fight Palzer
and figured that II ever were
lucky enough to get a chance to fight
him I would surely win by a knock
out l didn't expect TO finish Wells
so quickly for I knew he was
clever boxer and on that account
thought It would take me at least
four or Ave rounds to get him. The
moment I fi9ored him I felt that I
had him at my mercy and l lost no
time In going In and finishing him.
I will go after a fight with Luther
McCarty now. for ] think am en-
titled to the first chance at him.
