Ostrich Eggs
i'm Liquid Form

= ~~-~~ ~
The report Of the British Imperial
institute ON q consignment of ostrich
eggs.in liquid form gives the following
analytical data: Water, 76.1 per cent
protein, 10.7 per cent; fat, 11.4 per
cent, and ash, Ia per cent. Chinese
liquid eggs contain: Water. TOT per
cent; protein, 12.7 per cent; fat, 12.7
per cent, and ash, IL per cent. II the
above figures are calculated on uni
form basis of 75 per cent of water, the
composition works out the same In the
two cases, and it Is also seen that
liquid ostrich eggs contain less pro-
tein and more fat than average hens
eggs, though rather less Of these in
gradients than ducks eggs: The re-
port adds that the strong odor Of
liquid ostrich eggs may prevent their
use for edible purposes, but that they
might be useful for technical pur-
poses in the forms Of egg albumen
and Of preserved egg yolk In the

oIdtime Border Controversy.

There was once a border dispute be-
tween the states Of Michigan and Ohio.
but It was peaceably settled and had
no serious results. In 1885 cOntro-
versy arose in regard to the boundary
line between the states and the right
to strip OF land to which both laid
claim. A convention held at Detroit
that year framed Q constitution b
which Michigan claimed the tract. For
awhile there was danger Of bloOdshed,
but It "blew over" In June, 1895, con-
gress passed an act admitting Nichi-
gan into the Union on condition that
she relinquishS her claim to the dis
.puted tract, in consideration OF which
another tract, known - "the Upper
Peninsula, was given her. These con-
iitlons were rejected BY one convea'
ticn. bot accepted b. another held In
1895, and In January, 1881, Nichignn
was admitted into the Union.

wv ish troops entered Aleppo.
Wv another change was added
81 to the long list of changes
that have come to the ancient Hittite
city whose existence first was noted in
Assyrian, Babylonian and Egyptian
records under the name Of Khalep.
Aleppo, or Khalep, was banded back
and forth with the swaying fortunes of
those times. until It fell before the
world-conquering Alexander and his
Macedonian hosts. Then is when we
began to hear Of It In authentic his
tory, says a writer in the Kansas City
Star. Seleucus Nicator, was one of
the generals who aided Philip, the fa-
ther Of Alexander, in establishing the
Macedonian kingdom. He went with
Alexander into Asia id 1893 b. G.. In
821, when he was twenty-five years old,
he was given the government of the
Babylonian satrapy, which included
.Khalep. He gave the city the name OF
Beroea, and as Beroea or Khalep-Be-
roea, it figures historically most Of the
time. for the next 800 years. -. .
:, In 648 A. D. 1T disappeared from
European records under the Saracen
flood that swept up from the south
east. When the wild tribes began to
assume sort OF settled state under
Moslem influence, it Aappeared as
Halep. the gathering place Of the great
caravans passing from Asia Minor and
Syria to Mesopotamia, Bagdad and the
Persian and Indian kingdoms. .:$5#
Earthquake ana Plague.
In common with most Of the towns
Of northern Syria, Aleppo suffered fire.
Quently from earthquakes. After ter.
rible shock late In the twelfth century
It had to be almost entirely rebuilt.
But neither earthquake nor the plague.
to which 1t was also peculiarly subject,
could divert from it trade and pros
perity, and it became one of the com.
mercial capitals Of the eastern world.
The city passed under various Mos
lem dynasties, being at one time the
northern capital of the famous Saladin.
The Tartars held it awhile in the thir-
teenth century. Then the Mamelukes
came up from Egypt and took 1t, hold
ing it under their terrible sway until.
its final conquest by the Ottomans in
1917. &c., ......s ~ 81 *. I.
Under the strong hand Of its new
rulers, the trade Of Aleppo was re-
yived. The English had recognized Its
importance as commercial station
and 1t became the eastern outpost OF
the British Turkey company as early
as the time Of Elizabeth. It was con-
nected with the western outpost of
the East India company at Bagdad by
q private caravan service. Its name.
was familiar in the England of that
period. Shakespeare refers to it sew
eral times in his plays and It appears
frequently In the writings Of his con-
temporaries. = -
Through Aleppo passed the silks Of
Bambyce (bombazines), the light tex
tiles Of Mosul (mosulines-muslins) and
many other commodities for the
wealthy and luxurious. The discovery
OF the route around the Cape Of Good
Hope to India was the first blow to,
this trade. The second was the open
ing of q land route through Egypt to
the Red sea and the third and final
one was the construction Of the Suez
canal.

Push-Button Batteries.

Something new in push-buttons has
been invented by an Eastern man that
bids fair to send the old dry batteries
now In use to ring your front door bell
to the ashcnn. II is quite II simple ar
rangemeDt, and 1t Is strange that no
one should have thought of such IL sim
pie device. The button itself is con
nected to rod that is geared to a
small dynamo, and when the button l.
pushed the dynamo armature rotates
In the field of permanent magnet,
thereby generating enough electricity
TO ring the bell. The whole unit hard
ly takes up more space than the ordl.
nary push button. and does away with
the constant expense Of renewing bat
