Eating an ECO.
Forfeited abroad games.

Is there any corner of the earth
where the homely egg has not found
its way? 1t forms a substantial food
to all nations, and it is not curious that
different nationalities have different
ways of demolishing this eatable.
Eating an egg with a spoon would
be sacrilege to Spaniard. He boilS
his egg just one minute, then breaks
the contents into a glass and drinks it
as if it were wine The Italians place
their egg in cold water and remove it
just as the water boils. Then they
break it on a plate and eat it with
bread
English cooking prevails in France
in regard to the egg. Three minutes
in boiling water is the rule. 1t is then
broken into a glass and mixed tOgeth-
er with salt, pepper and butter,-Lon-

INTERNATIONAL PEACE.
Plans to Secure It Have Been Tried
For Three Centuries.

Admirable and farsighted plans for
securing peaceful international order
have been before the world for 300
years. NJ. Emeric Cruce submitted his
plan, which included liberty of COM
merce throughout all the world, as
early as 1923. Following the peace of
Utrecht, the Able de ST. Pierre devel-
oped his plan, which included media
ton, arbitration and an interesting ad-
dition to the effect that any sovereign
who took up arms before the union of
nations had declared war or who re-
fused to execute regulation Of the
union or judgment of the senate was
to be declared an enemy of European
society. The union was then to make
war upon him until he should be dis
armed or until the regulation or judg-
ment should be executed.
Some twenty years earlier William
Penn had produced his quaint and real
ly extraordinary plan for the peace of
Europe, In which he, too proposed to
proceed by military power against any
sovereign who refused to submit his
claims to a proposed diet, or parlia-
ment, of Europe or who refused to
abide by and to perform any judgment
Of such body.
All these plans, like those Of Rbus-
seau, Bentham and Kant, which came
later, as we'll as William Ladd's elab-
crate and carefully considered essay
on a congress of nations, published in
1910, were brought into the world too
soon. They were the fine and noble
dreams Of seers which it is taking civ
ilized men three centuries and more to
begin effectively to realize.-New York

FREQ Water in the Earth.

The amount of water held in the
rocks or other materials composing the
earth varies greatly, owing to many
causes. The amount absorbed de-
ponds on the porosity of the material,
the slope of the surface and the size
and abundance of joint cracks, assures
and cavities. The amount of water in
drift or surface materials is dependent
to some extent on the nature of the
underlying rock, and the amount which
finds its way into the solid rock
Is dependent on the thickness of
the everything surface deposit. The
amount of water contained in the
earth's crust Ito a depth of three niles
has been estimated by different writer's
with widely different results. A re-
cent estimate given by the United
States geological survey, department
of the interior, is that the total
amount of free water in the earth's
crust would be equivalent to a uniform
sheet over the entire surface of the
earth having a depth of about 100
feet This is but small fraction Of
the estimate made by other writer's.

Rapid Painting.

Sir Edwin Landseer had promised a
picture for the spring exhibition of the
British institution in 1915 but on the
day before the exhibition was to be
opened all the hanging committee had
received was an empty frame, which
was duly hung in the position of honor.
AS the prospect Of receiving a pic
ture for the frame seemed to the COM
mittee to be slight, a member thereof
went to see the artist. He found Land
seer standing in front Of a bare can
vas.
That's the picture l promised" said
the great man, pointing to the canvas.
81 have not touched it yet, but 1 will
send it to the institution tonight"
And he was as good as his word. A
few hours later the completed picture
was delivered and may be seen today
in the National gallery. This wonder
full work of half a dozen hours was
none other than the universally admir-

Chant of the Maori.

An interesting and pathetic scene Is
often witnessed in the camps where
there are Maori soldiers. These occa-
sions are when Maoris who have been
wounded in battle take leave Of their
comrades on the eve Of their return
to their homes, in many cases to fight
no more.
Before their departure those who are
left behind set up a mournful, though
melodious, dirgelike chant, the pathos
of which invariably brings tears to the
eyes Of those who hear it. 1t IS their
chant of farewell to those brothers in
arms who have shared their dangers
and who will never fight side by side
with them again.
The Maoris place their faith a great
deal in green jade luck charms. Green
jade has with them a traditional in
terest. for it was Of this material that
the tomahawks Of the ancient Maori
chiefs were fashioned.-LondonM Mail.
