The amount of water to he added depends upon the sample, but as full directions are usually sent ‘with each tin, it is difficult to go wrong. The eggs are placed in a glazed vessel, and covered with the liquid, care being taken that all the eggs are submerged. When they are wanted for use. they should be gently lifted out of the liquid, wiped dry, .and used as speedily as possible. The oldest, but still a very excellent method of preserving is by means of salt, lime and water. Four gallons of lime, one of salt, and twenty of water, should be,mixed together, and when the water has taken into solu- .‘tion as much lime and salt as it is n'capnble of doing, it should be allowed .to settle, the clear liquid being used ‘to pour over the eggs, which have previously been placed in a suitable vessel. This method has the disad- vantage of making the shells rough :and extremely brittleâ€"so much so, in fact, that, as a rule, eggs that have been preservedinllme cannot be boiled, the shells cracking with the least touch. When eggs are to be pre- served for only a very short timeâ€" for two or three monthsâ€"dry salt answers admirably, but this is an un- suitable method for a longer period. if a new-laid egg be dipped into boiling water, it slightly coagulates the white, and so prevents the air getv ting to the contents. For home use 'this method is suitable, but it does not answer when the eggs are for marâ€" ket. Smearing with vaseline or but- t‘er keeps the contents fresh for a 'vv‘eek or two. but is not recommended for more than a month. Only perfectly tresh eggs should be preserved. and it is largely a waste of labor and money to attempt keep ing eggs that are more than two 0 three days old when placed in th: Sprawl-votive. They should be allowet ;tq settle twelve hours after being laid 'but the sooner after this time they can be treated the better will they b-‘~ Dirty eggs do not preserve at all well, and SAVING IIiE SEALS Only International Agreement Saved Them From Extinction M Russia, England, Japan and Ameri- ca agreed to suspend sealing in the open sea for fifteen years and sealing on land for five years. The need for this close season is explained by George Archibald Clark: Pelagic sealing proved very destruc- tive to the herd. It respected neither sex nor condition of the animals found, and the catch fell principally upon the nursing females, which were taken upon the summer feeding grounds in Behring Seafgfor when the migration route of the seals had been covered the sealers entered Behring Sea and lay in wait for the mother seals as they visited the fishing banks one or two hundred miles distant from the islands for the purpose of feeding. As a result of the death of the mother, the dependent young starved to death on the rookeries, la the fall of 1896 sixteen thousand fur seal pups died of starvation on the rookeries of St. Paul and St. George islands. As pelagic sealing developed through the increasing number of ships, its catch grew from 8,000 at the begin- ning to a maximum of 140,000 in 1894; but this could not last, and with the declining herd the pelagic catch also began to decline. In the season of 1911, the last of the industry, the catch numbered about 15.000 skins. From the known catch of the sealing fleets and from conservative estimates as to animals killed but not recovered it is apparent that more than 9. mil- lion breeding female i‘ur seals and a like number of unborn and dependent young were destroyed during the thirty odd years the pelagic industry has been in operation. The result is the depleted condition in which we find the herd to-day. Our best. information places the number of animals in the herd in 1867 at between two and three millions. It numbers to-day about 215,000. - flit/iii rilris Trap .and Devour Insects, Digeetlng Bodies of Their Prey .._.. Among the strangest of all nature’s products are the insect-eating, or carnivorous, plants. They actually catch, eat, and digest various insects by a process practically as thorough as that of the animals. The so-calied Venus “fly trap" or "vegetabie butcher” is one of the Which, wnen closed, form a trap. hie ends of the leaves are baited with a sweet juice which attracts the insect. The leaves are covereddvith Illililllu: hairs, which correspond very closely to the arrangements of the nurvon. system in animals. On the edge u» the leaves are rows of long. fit;- teeth. ~ When the unsuspecting insect has been lured to the leaf by the attrac tive juice he steps upon one ot’ tin. microscopic heirs, and the two valyr shut with a snap, keeping ivlr. Fr. secure. _ Still more curious are ccrtainplnntr in Borneo, which distill liquors for the purpose of luring their victims Many of these are miniature grog shops. In their leaves are little pitchers, which are filled with hard alcoholic liquors. Each of the pitchers has a tight-fitting cover which keeps the dew and rain from diluting the liquor. No scientists have yet sucâ€" ceeded in analyzing the liquors with any satisfactory results, but it is evident that they are of different kinds, since ditterent species of the plants attract different insects. The most. unique of all the produc- tions of nature is the plant popularly known as the "goose plant." It is a native at Guatemala, and receives its name from the bud, which has the shape of a goose floating along the water with its neck proudly arched. The flower is very beauti- ful, but repulsive. It has an odor resembling that of decayed meat. The plant attracts the carrlon fly, which is the agent of fertilization. Ensuring Potato l Crop Canadian western farmers are re- markably ingenious in assuring them- selves a crop. At least they are re- ported to be. An Ontario farmer tells of an incident that occurred when he was paying a visit to a rela~ tive farmer in the Canadian West. Iâ€"le followed the tr'fi for many miles and finally foupd his relative digging in a field. The man dug about eight inches and rooted out a good hill of potatoes. He dug to another depth and revealed a second hill. At still another depth a third hill of potatoes 4 was forthcoming. Mystifled, the farmer from the east questioned the digger, concerning the magnificent crop of potatoes, by hills, three deep. .“Well,” he said. "We plant them three deep this way in order to be sure of on_e crop at least. You see, in a dry season the upper hill is killed by drought. and in a very dry season the secoud hill is also lost, but it never gets so dry that the bottom hill One of the most difficult problems in practical mechanics is to make a straight edge. How diifioult it is may be judged from an incident that 09% curred in the shop of a celebrated astronomical instrument maker. A patron asked what would be the price of "a perfect straight edge of glass thirty-six inches long.” "It cannot be made perfect," said the instrument maker; “but it could probably be made with a limit of er.- ror amounting to only a fraction of a. wave length of light." ifHow much would that cost?" "About $40,000." It turned out that the customer wanted the straight edge for a. scraper, and that an error of one sixty-fourth of‘an inch would not bother him. WHICH SCHOOL SHALL I ATTEND?
