PENDULUM TELLS THE SEX OF EGGS At a recent meeting of the Societe Nationale d'Acclimation in Paris an interesting discussion took place on the possibility of detecting the sex of eggs. M. Le Fort announced that this could be done with a pendulum, a. ball of copper fastened to a copper screw and hung to a chain of Steel that contained no nickel. If this copper ball be held suspend - led over an egg, said M. Le Fort, it .will after a few seconds begin oscillating like a pendulum of a clock, if the egg contain the germ of a rooster; but it will describe circles in space if the contained germ be that of a hen. M. Le Fort said he had tested this many times and always with cern.plete success. Once he tried it on seven eggs. The pendulum announced two hens and two cocks and three doubt- ful. The eggs were pl;aceed in an. incubator and produced two hens and two cocks, while the three eggs did not hatch, being unfertilized. WHAT TO DO. WHEN YOU SWALLOW A BONE The -necessity of examing the oesophagus (tube down which we sveallow) with an oesophagoscope as early as possible after a foreign body has been swallowed is emphasized in a report by Dr. Joseph Eastman Sheehan, af New York, to the Medical Record on a recent case of his own. A man of sixty-four was received at the Post -Graduate Hospital a few months ago, suffering from pain and inability to swallow. Ile said that a few nights previously he had swal- lowed a bit of the neck of a chicken, and_ since then had been suffering as described. Dr. Sheehan pushed an oesophagoseope down the man's throat and readily recognized one of the vertebrae of a chicken's neck sticking in the oesophagus about half way down to the stomach. He seized it with the forceps and gently pulled it up through the tube. But the bone had deeply ulcerated the flesh around the place where it had been impacted, so that swallow- ing food would have caused blood poisoning. It was necessary to re- sort to rectal feeding while the ulcera- tion was being treated by direct ap- plications. After ten days the pa- tient left the hospital none the worse for his very trying experience'. SENTENGED TO 99 YEARS IN PRISON Characterized as the army's most -latigerous prisonef, Pte. John Mosher, Stuilty of murder, returned receriely on the United States army transport Poeahonats and was taken under heavy guard to a train for Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, -y begin a 99 - year sentence,- hard. labor. _ Mosher, a tall, good-looking chap, with as mild a face as one could see, was one of 25 general prisoners mak- ing the trip across under charge of Lieut. M. C. Handwerk. The soldier was found guilty by a court-martial of killing Sergt. Lester Call while on duty with the army of occupation in Germany. At his trial a long criminal record Was diSCIOSed) and it was established that Mo -•her had broken out of a jail Trenver just before he joined the 01, the way over, Lieut. Handwerk, knowing that Mosher lad a reputation for escaping, took every precaution to keep his charge in custody. In addi- tion to double guards; the offieer put a ball and chain on Mosher's .left ankle. The ball weighed 40 pounds, and every time the lieutenant thought Of it he Cheered Up. One day,' however, the officer, ieel- tag the heat himself, though it would be a humanitarian act to relieve Mosher of his encumbrance. So Hand- werk went down to the cell. Mosher was sitting comfortablf, rolling a cigarette, and his feet were cocked easily against' the wall of the cell. There was no ball and chain' in, sight. "Where's the ball?" asked the - astonished lieutenant, as he complied With the prisdner's motion for a match. "Well,' replied Mosher, as he in- haled the smoke, "it disturbed me. threw it out the porthole a little while ago." Handwerk said nothing in reply. He, went up and lot the 'biggest and strongest .pair of German hand'cuffs obtainable on the ship. They were put on Mosher. But it was futile. A, couple of hours later the guard out- side the cell was hit on, the head with the German handcuffs. Mosher ex- plained that they had hurt his wrists, so he took them off and threw thein over the transom. _After that Mosher saw nothing but olive drab, for no matter which way he looked alparm- THE BOTTOM OF Tat: SIR (t Is Occ lr"lei :;nii�c Pi aces 'Chan X�t 0110114. The normal depth of the ocean floor is about two and a half miles. Toward and near ,the poles, however, there is a marked shallowing.

The girl who returns home from school or from work thoroughly tired out will be fortunate if she escapes a physical breakdown, because this get- ting tired so easily is probably the first warning symptom of a thinning blood that must not be disregarded if her death is to be preserved. When the blood becomes 'thin and impure the patient becomes pale, hag- gard and angular, She not only tires out easily but suffers from headaches, palpitation of the heart, dizzy spells and a loss af appetite. This condi- - tion will go from bad to worse, if prompt steps are not taken to increase and enrich the blood supply.
