Sarah nernhardt Solved Problem.

Sarah Bernhard Solved Problem.
A new story is being told Of Sarah
Bernhard.
At the great actress theater in
Paris where new play Is being re-
hearsed, difficulty arose over a scene
in which one of the characters makes
a purchase of eggs. The problem lay
in the correct method of wrapping
them up.
Sarah Bernhard decided to settle
the question by practical experience
Ordering her chauffeur to stop at
dairy in the Rue st. Denis, she walked
into the shop and said: Madame, J
want half a dozen eggs"
. The dairywoman required moment
or two to recover from her astonish
ment at the sight of this fine lady
Then she took six eggs from basket
wrapped them up in bit of old news
paper, and handed them to the actress
The problem was solved-and
Sarah's chauffeur that evening dinee
of q splendid omelette.

Continental Europe, and daily
reports come from st. Peters
burg on the conditions in Russia
and Siberia.
The same businesslike system
used in tracing the track of a
storm is applied in determining
the arrival of fr0sts.
Flood forecasts are made in
much the same way. Infor-
nation as to the amount of rain
fall at the head waters of
streams that cause floods are
covered by telegraphic reports
sent by local observers. AS this
rain reaches the main channel,
the height Of the water in the
channel is determined by sue
cessive gauging stations. Past
records establish how much a
height, say; of 20 feet at Dubu-
que, Iowa, will produce at
Davenport, another station 80
miles down the Mississippi.
This plan is followed all the
way down the river, and at
each point full allowancei is made
for effects of water fro n tribu-
taries, and from additional and
local rainfall. AS a result of
these observations in the recent
flood the people in Cairo had
warning a week or 10 days in ad-
vance. The Pittsburg district
can be given only IL to "a hours
notice, because flood is upon
