NEW WAY TO TEST EGGS AGE
How French Investigator Determines
the Edible Qualities Of the Prod
uct Of the Humble "Biddy."

A novel and rapid way whereby to
determine the age of an egg has been
developed by NJ. Grossfield. French
Investigator. He has supplemented
the usual method of one dependent on
specific gravity. The existing way
whereby to determine the age of eggs
is by Gambling them and taking note
of the mirage which forms about the
yolk. Mr.. Grossfield has determined
the specific gravity of normal eggs
in the way attributed to Archimedes
and there has been figured out the
loss in gravity for each week Of keep
ing. For quick inspection of qualities
of eggs, he has devised form Of hy
drometer. The egg takes the place of
the weighted bulb and the scale indi
Gates the specific gravity and at the
same time the age of the egg. A little
cage has been arranged to hold the egg
and is capable Of quick handling. Big
eggs and little eggs are subject to errors
in the readings. hut with eggs in the
vicinity of fifty-f1fty grams the indi-
cation is instantaneous.

Why Women Should Marry.

A woman writer. herself married
and twenty-three years of age, states
that a woman who expects to follow
an intellectual life should marry
young. This is n sound view, for the
woman who fully appraises the value
of her intellectual life realizes that
the best years of the mind are those
that come after the age Of most eff
cient child bearing.
1t is very different view from that
of the young women In professions
which serve only to bridge the few
brief years between school days and
marriage. and for whom marriage
closes for all time participation In the
worlds work outside of the house.
Clearly we can never have an intel
lectual emancipation In the worlds

fine professional life to the remarriage

marriage. The first gives too brief

HOW
Name of Great Waterway
May Be Changed

Among the many changes in maps
as result Of the war will probably
be that Of a new name for the North
sea or German ocean. unless the world
is forced to accept maps "made In
Germany" Ever since hostilities
started an agitation has been going
on In Great Britain for new desig-
nation Of this body Of water and the
name German ocean" has been ex-
plunged from the British ordnance sur
vey maps.
The title British sea" has been sug-
gested as mark Of special honor In
recognition Of the watchfulness Of the
British navy and mercantile marine.
History shows that the German
ocean was so called by the Romans
before they discovered the extent of
the British shores. The seaboard
from the Shetland islands to North
Foreland is S75 miles in length where
as the combined seaboards of all other
countries within its littoral measure
$40 miles, including that of Germany,
which is only 40 miles.

WHY
Periscopes Are a Necessity
on Locomotives

inventions previously used exclu-
sively for war purposes. are now find
ing their way into industry. Even the
submarine, associated with destruc-
ton. has something to contribute. For
instance. why not periscope for rail
way engineers? Why is 1t necessary
for the engineer to lean out OF his
cab to see the track ahead of him.
or the signal Of the conductor or flag
man In the rear of the train?
According to A. c. Spencer of Lon
don. England. perlscopes would he n
great help to all locomotives engineers.
eliminating much danger and incon-
venience.
He has invented two periscopes
which can be attached to an ordinary
locomotive cab, to enable the engineer
to obtain an unobstructed view Of the
track ahead and of his train In the
rear. The periscopes are supported
by rubber or other flexible means in
brackets, so that they can be readily
adjusted in position or turned about
vertical or horizontal axis. The
space between the periscope and the
roof of the cab is filed with rub
Der rings.
One of the periscopes Is telescope
and is in two parts held together by
a wing-nut and a bolt. 1t is provided
with windows, n removable cover and
projections which bear against the
securing clamps. The periscope may
be of lazy-tongs type or Otherwise
adjustable in length. and the mirrors
may be protected from smoke by n
hood or casing.
So equipped, in an emergency. the
engineer is able to see -alf that Is

WEALTH FROM ROCK sHALE
How Extraction Of Oil viii Add Enor-

United States.

An Interesting development. being
watched by scientists. is In the ex-
tracing of oils and other products
from rock shale. II will surprise
many to know that the bureau Of
mines estimates that the exposed and
known shale In Colorado and Utah
will yield 36.OOO.OOO,OO gallons Of
ail-that is nearly 1,0OO,0O0,OOO bar
rels.
In Scotland. where shale oil is pro-
iuced on commercial scale. for
twenty-five years dividend of from 8
to 70 per cent has been paid. In this
country the shale rocks are found In
the Dakotas. Wyoming, Montana. Ne

sides those in the above states where
the possible yield would be near L.

MUST BE OF WOOD OR METAL
Why German deficiency" Has had
Its Say Concerning the Footwear
Of the kaiser's Subjects.

The Germans MS well as the French

what contrast between the two !!
While the French boots nte well made
and are of leather. the Germans are
going to use wood and metal.
The models to be made in Germany
are the following: "Mens boots
lace boots, stem OF which will be of

There is small probability that such
