How to Tell Whether Eggs Are Fer

tile.
"The simplest, easiest and surest
way of testing Matching eggs for fer
tility is to set them in the incubator
or under a hen and allow them to
incubate for seven days, Then re-
move the hen, or take the tray out
of the incubator and allow the eggs
to cool for ten minutes. Then hold
each egg to the cheek. The warm
eggs are the fertile eggs and the cold
eggs are those that have no chicks
in them. Eggs that are only slightly
warm have a very weak germ. The
longer the eggs are incubated the
easier it is to pick out eggs that will
hatch.

Vienna, June a.-The worst disaster
in the history Of aviation occurred over
the military aerodrome- on the outskirts
Of this city today, when nine men. in
cluding five army and navy officers.
were killed in a collision between an
aeroplane and a dirigible balloon
The two air crafts were maneuvering
at a height of about 500 feet when the
aeroplane. a powerful Farman biplane,
crashed into the gas bag of the dirigible
Parsevsl.
There was a loud explosion. followed
by burst of flames, which ignited both
crafts.
The blazing balloon and the burning
aeroplane dropped through space like
flaming meteors.
Those on board faced inevitable death
in two forms: Either to remain on board
and be burned to death, or leap to de-
struction from the wrecked and burning
air carriages
The spectators upon the ground stood
rooted in horror at the spectacle. They
clinging TO the frame work of the big
dirigible as the struts buclIled and broke
The aeroplane was wrecked by the inn
pact. and Immediately turned over. The
aviator, had teen strapped to his seat
and he hung helpless In the burning
wreckage.
In addition to the pilots and the crew.
the passengers on the Parseval and the
Farman biplane included a captain and
four ieutenants.
As soon as the burning debris reached
the ground soldiers began pouring water
upon II and tearing IL apart in hope that
the lives of some of the victims might
yet be saved.
Doctors were rushed to the scene, but
it was found that all who had not been
killed outright were so badly bu=ned and
shaken by the fall that death was only
a matter of a few minutes.
Some OF the victims had all their
clothing burned on, and their bodies were
so black and charred as to be almost
unrecogniZable.
At the time Of the catastrophe a num-
Der OF aeroplanes were in the air.
An investigation OF the tragedy was
commenced Immediately. officers of the
aerial squad expressed the opinion that
the aviator Of the aeroplane had mo-
mentarily lost control OF his machine or
that the balloon. which was OF the
Roertig type. used by the Austrian army,
had failed to answer her helm.
