Sir William IL White, late naval
tlireztor under the British Govern-
ment, in an - article in the June
Nineteenth Century, discusses the
whole matter in. a way that cannot
fail to conimand wisisibtention.
ead znaity things,Pre7 -says, have to
be taken into account besides mere
comparatives bigness. Is there to
• be no limit to the proigions costs of
our modera _navies'? And shlps have
to be manned and maintained as
well as built. Besides, there is the
question is to the "Goliath policy"
of concentrating so large a part of
the naval force on a few individual
ships, however stupendous in size
and power. As Sir William says,
other and formidable risks besides
those incidental to artillery attack
attack have to be encountered in
modern warfare. Under -water at-
tacks -by submarine mines and tor-
pedoes -cannot be regarded as un-
important, considering what hap-
pened in the Russo-Japanese -war.
The larger the ship the larger the
area exposed to under -water at -
Wk.'s. Remembering the fact that
on one day the Japanese lost two
out of their.Six battle ships- by the
explosion of submarine nilnes, it
cannot be disputed, says Sir Willi-
am, •that" an extreme concentra-
tion Of fighting power in single ships
• of enormous size and cost may be
accompanied by large relative loss.
"The marth of invention is increas-

to be borne in mind. There „may

circumstances through= many years.

any indulgence in an individual

DON'T BOIL YOUR EGOS.
Illiaols Experts tare Better way of
•' Cooking them.
The average housewife knows less
about eggs than about any other
article of food of animal origin. This
information, with other glimmerings
fry, poach or boil them,
is the sum of knowledge possessed
by seventy-five per- cent. of the
country's cooks. This is regret-
table, because books have been
written about eggs, and- only
recently Dr. C. II. Langworthy,. Ph.
D., of the Department of Agncul-
ture, has prepared a valuable paper
on the subject.
Two or three minutes, women and
mew cooks will telt you,- irrt
required to boil eggs. That's wrong,
and the experts inthe 1-abetatory of
the University of -filing's have
proved it. There they put the egg
into a pen of water that had boiled
and then shut off the heat. The pan
was closely covered and the egg was
allowed to remain in the water six
minutes. By that time it was soft
boiled. Tests showed that when the
egg was pit into -the -wirer tion-
perature fell from 185 degrees
Fahrenheit to 170 degree*. If the
egg remained in the water eight
nurattes,it *as medium cooked ' and
the water tentnerature had fallen to
102 degrees. If more time be allow-
ed the egg may be hard cooked.'
The value of this process, more
lengthythan the customary one, is
i
found n the flavor- imparted, or
rather retained, in the egg, s
