Raw Eggs Keep Longer Than Boiled.

Raw Eggs Keep Longer Than Boiled.
Raw eggs keep good much longer
than cooked eggs, even when these are
hard boiled. This was proved by DIR.
Leon Lindet. a member of the Paris
COnseil d'Hygiene, after many French
soldiers had reported that the hard
boiled eggs they received from home
had gone bad. while the raw eggs re-
NAMED edible for weeks. Doctor Lin
Diet explains this fact by saying that
the boiling makes the inner MEM
brane pervious to gases, liquids and
microbes, and the white Of the egg
becomes an agglomeration of cOagu-
lated albumen and particles Of serum
that is an ideal medium in which mi
crobes thrive.

Large Orders for
Structural Steel
Placed by u. S.
Demand for Railroad
Equipment Becomes
More Urgent

Government purchases of war sup
plies for the army and navy are over
shadowing all else in the steel industry.
Individual orders arc not large, but
the aggregate is heavy. The Navy De-
partment has just placed orders for
10000 tons of structural shapes, plates
and sheets with Eastern Pennsylvania
mills, and will take bids Monday on
$500 tons of Steel for navy yard inn
provements, including a machine shop
and foundry building at Norfolk. An
other contract for $500 tons for crane
runways at the Brooklyn navy yard
has been given to an independent fabri-
Gator and specifications are being pre-
pared for two power houses for other
navy yards.
The War Department has placed
contracts for several thousand tons Of
structural steel for improvements at
arsenals, and manufacturers having
government contracts for military
equipment have placed orders for 6,0OO
tons of sheets and 5000 tons of plates.
1t is understood that specifications
have now been issued for about 1000
900 tons OF rolled steel on government
account. Manufacturers of wire rope
having capacity of 100000 tons
year have been called upon by the gov
eminent for $4,000 tons for shipment
in the next six months.
Several additional export inquiries
for rails and for semi-fnished steel
have come into the market, including
10000 tons of 60-pound rails and TO-
900 tons of 97-pound rails for France:
A second inquiry for 10000 tons OF
billets makes total of 10000 tons
now pending; but, with ports congested
with steel for foreign countries, mills
are taking less interest in export ton
mage. Japan, having less difficulty in
securing supplies than have European
countries, has purchased 10000 tons
of basic, 10000 tons of Bessemer and
5000 tons of low phosphorus pig iron
in the Eastern territory for early ship
ment. Oriental buyers have also Sc
cured $4,000 boxes Of tin plate at a
premium of Sc box over the domestic
price, for shipment during the fourth
quarter Of this year, il the expected
embargo against exports is lifted by
that time.
There is greater activity in railroad
equipment buying by domestic and by
Canadian roads than at any time IN
the last six weeks. Rail mills have
taken orders for $4,000 toas Of stand
ard sections and are asked to accept
large orders from Dominion roads. Car
builders have taken orders for 3,6Oo
cars, and specifications are being. pre-
pared for $1,000 additional cars. Loco
motive shops have taken contracts Tor
ffty-six more locomotives. and are
asked TO bid on 400 more. This equip
ment will require, in construction,
900 900 tons of steel. Pig iron is less
active. but prices are SO TO SO ton
higher, and still advancing.
