Kerosene.
 The. first to introduce the use of coal oil or kerosene" in the United States and Canada was pr. Abraham .Gesner, a distinguished Canadian geo1ogist. who died in Halifax, N. s.. half century ago today. pr. Ges- ner. after long experimenting discov- cred how to produce oil that could
 be used in lamps for Illuminating pur-
 poses from bituminous shaIe and
 camel coal. He gave the. name of
 .fkerosenes' to his product, but it was
 popuIar1y called tscoal oil.'' Follow
 ing the discovery of petroleum in
 large quantities in Pennsylvania in 1859, and later in many other sections of North America, kerosene became the principal product of the distil- lation of the crude oil. pr. Gesner. the discoverer of kerosene, was born in Cornwallis, N. S, in 17s7. and was
 educated for the profession of medi- cine. Later he became interested in geological researches. and in 1888 he was appointed to examine the geolog- ical resources of the lower Provinces of British North America. Like most inventors. he derived little financial benefit from his discovery, which was destined to be the foundation of scores of immense fortunes.

Birthday of "The Worlds Most Prolific Eqa-Layer.s


 Today is the second birthday of the helpful hen upon which the Oregon Agricultural College at Cornwallis re- gently conferred the title of ..tne greatest hen in the world. Since it is the mission of a hen-at least from q human viewpoint--to produce eggs. the greatness of this prolific fowl is based upon her ability as an egg layer. sC 54S" as this wonderful fowl was officially christened by the oregon Agricultural College authori- ties, was matched on April 2s. 1912. She began laying at the age of five and one-half months. Her record was, made on October 9th of last year, when she laid her 2ssrd egg within 2 year. thus establishing a new world s record. The former record had also been made by an Oregon Agricul- tura1 College hen. who in 1911 laid 2s2 eggs in year.
 Although the United States leads the world in egg production, with I17.s dozen per capita per annum. ac- eording to the last census figures, the supply is not always equal to the de- nand, and eggs are imported fraMs Europe. Missouri leads the States in egg production. and the helpful hen is responsible for no small share of the prosperity of the show me- commonwealth. The production of eggs in the United States as a whole reached in 1909 the amazing total of ], 5s1.311.s71 dozen. or 1s,os5.7ss,- 452 eggs. Of this total. Missouri hens produced 111,816.es3 dozen. with Iowa a close second. Ohio and Illi- nois close contestants for third place, and Kansas. Indiana, Texas. PennsyI- vaniay New York and Michigan fol- flowing in the order given.
 Strange to say. while Illinois stood fourth in the number of eggs pro duced. that State was first in tke number oe fowls. which is a sad re- fection on the egg-laying ability of the hens of the Sucker State.'' II is appropriate that the nickname o1 Illinois should have been applied ir derision by Missourians. who, with fewer hens. produce many more eggs than their neighbors.

Noted Sculptor Is 54.


 Lorado Taft, who has won place among the greatest of modern Amer ican scIlptors, was born hfty-four years ago to-day at Elmwood, III. He was educated at the University of H. linois and at the Eccle des Beaux Arts in Parts. Upon returning to Arr erica he settled in Chicago and became an instructor in the Art Institute of tfias City. Among the early works which made MT. Taft.s reputation as a sctair : tor were a statue of Schuyler Colfax for Indianapolis; a statue of Gen. Grant: various military monuments, and the decorations for the Horticul- tura1 Building at the Columbian Ex- position. The work of Mr. Taft on this lovely edifice was considered by most experts to be the artistic tri- unph of the, great worlds fair. Many visitors to that exhibition will recall with pleasure the two large groups just outside the main entrance Of the Horticultural Building. representing '.The Sleep and the 4 widening of the Flowers These sculptures were the center of interest for all artists who visited the expedition. and more than any other of his early worx aided him along the road to international fame.
