JJ4UtVELLOUB EXPERIMENTS AT
OTTAWA.
OTTAwa, Maio 16.—"How Tung
Q.a i an egg be kept fresh aud
'Wholesome, Without the aid of
preservatives I"
This was the question which The
Empire addressed to Prof. Saunders
last weeb when tie matter of ship-
ping eggs to England was receiviug
general attention.
"That is the problem which we
are trying to work out in the
poultry department of the Experi-
mental Farm," replied the pro•
fessor, "aud if you will come out
some afternoon I shall be pleased
to show you what has beeu done.
The test iu each case was very
simple. Au egg from the different
batches was brought into the office
and broken auto a tumbler. It was
then carefully examined.
No. 1—This was an egg laid ou
October 27th last. With others it
had been packed in bran and laid
away in the cellar. 1t was four
and a half mouths old. Prof.
Saunders broke :t into the tumbler
and it was found absolutely fresh
and sweet. The albumen was
clear, and the yolk firut.
No. 2.—This specimen was laid
on the 29th of October -last, or four
and a half mouths ago. It had
been placed ill the incubator on
31st of October and kept at a con-
stant temperature of from 78 to 81
degrees until Februt y 11—a period
of three months and 19 days. It
need scarcely be said that this
represents a very much higher aver-
age than the temperature of our
„ three hottest SLUMMY months, aud
was only 20 to 24 degrees below
the hatching heat When broken,
however, this egg was perfectly
good. The volume of albumen had
shrunk about one-half aud it was
denser ; but there was not the
faintest trace of distgreeable odor.
To the taste it was fresh aud
Sweet.
No. 3 —This egg was lairs on 5th
of November last and had been
subjected to unusually severe treat.
meut. Froin the time it was laid
until the 11th of February—a
period of over thio mouths—it had
been left for half of each day in the
incubator, and for the other half in
the colder atmosphere of the
cellar'. This alternating extremes
of temperature each day would
seem to be more than any ordinary
IotilRegg could stand. But when Prof.
Saunders broke the shell, the con-
tents fell into the goblet clear and
odorless. The volume was, how-
ever, considerably reduced, and at
the point where the yolk had rested
against the shell there was the
faintest possible trace of staleness.
In very other respect the egg w is
sweets-aud absolutely fit to eat.
No. 4—This specim.rn had also
sustained heroic treatment. It was
laid on the Gth December last, and
on the 23rd of that month it had
been placed in the incubator aud
kept at a temperature of from 78 to
84 until February 11. From that
time until last Saturday it had lain
in the open cellar. It was broken
and seemed in every respect as
fresh as the day it was laid. The
air space was small, the albumen
clear and the yolk perfectly sweet.
No. 5—This ono had been laid
on the 2rd of November last. It
was then packed after a very
common method. The surface of
the shell was greased with lard and
the egg buried in salt. It was con•
siderably over five months old ;
yet it was perfectly sound. It was
neither better nor worse than those
which had received no special
• attention. It was simply a good,
full, fresh egg.
No. 6—This was an extraordinary
specimen. Along with half a dozen
others it had lain in the office
drawer during the first week in
August last. It had been given no
treatment whatever. There it lay
through all the heat of August and
September, the changing tempera-
tures of the fall months, the
severer extremes of winter, not 10
feet from a baso burner stove, and
down to She hour of the test.
When Prof Saunders got ready to
break this egg that had lain for
seven months and a half in an
office drawer, The Empire stepped
back a pace or two so as to be pre-
pared for the worst. Back number
eggs are always to be suspected.
Yet, when the table knife broke
the shell in twain, the contents fell
out, eweet, fresh looking and per-
fectly wholesome. As a matter of
fact, Prof. Saunders ate it for his
supper, and pronounced it first
class in every respect.
Here, then, were the proofs of
the surprising fact that fresh eggs
could be kept for a long period
without suffering material deteriora-
tion. The last egg examined was
over seven months old, lying all
that time in a comparatively warns
room and surrounded with no
preservatives whatever. Yet, like
all the others, it was perfectly good.
It would seem that an egg packed
away when quite fresh may be kept
at a high temperature for many
months, or submitted to extremes of
heat and cold, without suffering to
any appreciable extent in quality.
These experiments ;also show that
popular notions respecting the age
at which nu egg may be said to be
fresh are ill need of revision. It a
farmer's wife labelled her basket :
"Fresh egge ; laid three weeks ago,"
she would find no purchasers.
When we know, however, that it
has been found iutpossible to spoil
an egg within six monthe at the
experimental farm, we are bound to
believe that au egg ie just as good
ill its third week, or third month,
as when laid.
Those experiments are novel.
There is no record of similar tests
that The Einpite can learn of.
They have4itheir value, too. They
shed direct and valuable light on
the titivation of shippi`bg eggs to
England, aud ;landing thew in a
perfectly wholesome condition. It
was for that reason Hon. • Mr.
Carling, froiu the outset, took a
deep interest ill the matter. He
was to have been present at the
test ou Saturday, but pressure of
departmental business prevented
hint from doing so. 1[e has direct-
ed that the data be carefully com-
piled, aud additional experiments
with respect to the preservation of
eggs undertaken. The work is
original, timely and highly useful
—a criticism which applies with
equal force to all the experiments
in hand at the fartu.

WOr•t'L TALES OF ALLEGED SUFFERING
POURING IN FROM SOME OP TIIE
WESTERN STATES.
It is quite possible that sense of
our readers living in the older and
somewhat congested parts of Ontario
will, lvitlt the opening of the
spring, he seeking cheaper lands
and larger firms than they can
afford to buy its this province.
They aro probably aware of the
advantages the Canadian North
west offers over that of the Amu ri-
cau. \\'e have sedulously en•
deavoreil to give the truth, during
the past year, of the undesirability
of the American \Vest as a place for
intending emigrants to go to. \Ve
gut our information front American
sources, so that it has not been
colored by Canadian patriotism.
Wo now clip the following from
the Chicago Inter Ocean of last
Friday :—
If half the reports concerning the
destitution of farmers in Kansas,
Nebraska, and the two Dakotas are
true, then the people of those sec•
tions are, indeed, in a woful plight
and need succor badly.
It appears that the hot winds
caused such a drought as to almost
totally destroy the last season's
crops, and now the farmers can do
nothing, as they have neither feed
for their horses nor seed for their
soil. In Nebraska the distress is
particularly groat. The south-
western and western parts of the
State aro the parts most affected,
including thirty-two counties, twen-
ty of which are very destitute. The
corn crop there w.ts ruined by the
hot winds, the average yield being
somewhat less than a bushel to the
acre,
The greatest trouble is in the
lack of feed for the work horses.
The people have no money and
nothing they can convert into
money. Tho stock can not he sold
as it is in a starving condition. The
cows have all failed in their milk
aud are almost useless. Good ones
bring the munificent sum -:of $4 in
Rad Willow County, Nebraska.
The only means of subsistence
the farmers have is their poultry,
most of which has been killed to
prevent it starving to death.
There are in Nebraska about 150,-
000 people to be cared for, for
which purpose $200,000 is all that
is a certainty. Mrs. Blackfan says
she has had great difficulty in get-
ting aid wherever she has been, as
every one tells her that her version
of the fanners' condition is at vari-
ance with that of the State officials
and the leading Nebraska news-
papers. 'Those latter say the people
do not need help, and Mrs. Black-
fan thinks she could easily have
quadrupled her douations but for
this false position of Governor
Thayer and the other officials, who,
for political reasons, desire to keep
the true state of affairs from the
public.
In North Dakota the condition
of affairs is not so bad. The larger
part of the State had a successful
season, but the three counties on
the South Dakota line are badly off.
There, too, the hot winds did their
damaging work. A. A. Payne was
sent out by the County Commis
sionersof McIntosh County, one of
the unfortunate counties. He is
also in Chicago in behalf of his
people. He says the farmers in his
county can get along very well
without foed for their horses, as
they have plenty of hay, but they
are in dire need of send wheat and
corn. About 200,000 bushels of
wheat are estimated to bo needed
for his county alone.
Now, the question is,. What is
Chicago going to do toward help-
ing these sufferers 1 It will be re•
membered that last year this city
responded nobly to the call and
contributed some $50,000 for North
and South Daftota alone.
THE GIANT PURSE CRAB.
BE CLIMBS 0000ANUT TREES AND
°RAGES THE NUTS AGAINST
STONES.
In the Ininiug bureau may be
seen a very fine specimen of the
remarkable large laud crab known
as the purse crab or Birgus latro,
which is well preserved in a glass
jar. This is one of the largest
species of land crab known. It is
sometimes found from eighteen to
twenty four inches in length, when
fully stretched out, and is capable
of erecting itself to the height of
nearly a foot from the ground,
which it very readily dons if irri•
tated, retreating and exhibiting to
the uttermost its powers of offense
or defense.
It is somewhat allied to 'tlie-
hertuit crab, but having the
abdomen or tail shorter, yet very
large, on the under side of which
it carries its eggs in itnrnouse
quantities. Its upper surface cover-
ed with strong plates, which over-
lap one another as in lobsters. The
first pair of legs have largo and
powerful pincers; the second and
third pair of legs aro terminated by
a single nail ; the pair next to
them are a little smaller, with
email pincers ; the pair of legs
nearest to the abdomen are very
small, but terminated by rudimen-
tary pincers.
When teased this crab is so
powerful in its first claws and legs
as to be able to cling to a stick, and
can hold its own weight to be car-
ried for over half an hour before
letting go. It can travel about as
fast backward as forward if pursued.
It is generally of a yellowish.
brown color, its limbs being, how-
ever with little blackish projec-
tions.
It is never found far from the
sea, to which it is said t0 pay visits
in order to moisten its gills ; but it
always resides ou kind, and is
generally found in holes under the
roots of trees, especially of cocoanut
trees, which it prefers and where it
accumulates great quantities of the
fibres of the cocoanut husks, as if
to keep itself warm or for a soft
bed. As a general thing the purse
crab stays in these holes during the
daytime and canes out at night.
Its food generally consists of
cocoanuts, also the nuts of a species
of palm known as pandanus
odorotismus and other nuts, which
is climbs the trees to procure, cut-
ting the cocoanut from the tree
with his heavy claws, and after it
has cut down two or three it des•
cends aud commences to pull the
Husk from them.
In its manner of dealing with
cocoanuts it exhibits a remarkable
instinct, as it always begins to tear
of the busk at the end where the
eyes are. It then makes a hole
nY on which through the eye fr '
}
o
Itch t ha
nut would germinate, This is done
by striking the fruit, with its heavy
claw and breaking it sufficiently to
admit one of the small legs by
which it scoops out the nut with its
small pincers. Sometimes it seizes
the nut by one of its great pincers
and breaks it against a stone.
The purse crab is found in the
mountains and in the more eastern
islands of the Indian ocean, as well
as on some of the islands of the
South Pacific, more especially the
Caroline islands, which are a low
coral group.

lish1 You will, I am sure, confer
a great favor upon many readers if
you ask all writers to guard against
the 'and which' habit. Really, it's

Scott was terribly addicted to the
vice. Disraeli sinned in the same
way, and contemporaneous litera-
ture teeing with examples of the
fault. I will give you one or two
instances where one's ear is almost
split by the solecism : "The speaker
told his listeners that he acknow-
ledged that his party was misled,
and 'for which he was sincerely
sorry.' Here is one of Scott's :—
'He begged hint at the same time
carefully to preserve for him, *
* * particularly the artns,
* * and to which the friend-
ship of the donors gave additional
value.' Hill quotes that sentence
and this :—'H. R. H. the Prince of
Wales acknowledges * * *

ing clause is as bad. Witness :—
'The rebels then advanced and
fired suddenly, which the govern-
ment forces returned.' Take an-
other :—'He became financially in-
volved, which he did in this way.'

A ST. LOUIS SENSATION.
Several people in St. Louis have
just discovered that they have been
dtlped by a woman who once held
a good social position. Her name
ie Mrs. Jennie Livingston. She is
rather a handsome blonde, some-
what faded, but with large, innocent
looking gray eyes. She is or was
the wife of a roan formerly connect-
ed with the largeet wholesale dry -
goods house in St. Louis. Three
years ago she occupied splendid
quarters at the Southern Hotel and
cut a great swell. Her pace was too
rapid for her husband, and he left
her, and is now located in Chicago
She became very prominent in con-
nection with various charitable aud
religious projects and institutions.
At times her name figured in the
records of aristocratic social events,
but it became whispered about that
she was not what she ought to be,
and she gradually lust caste, but she
was never concerned ill ally open
scandal until last July, when Mr.
Hugh L. Huneche, a well-known
restauraut owner, and Dr. A. Gorden
Finney, proprietor of one of the
most fashionable dental establish-
ments in the city, disappeared from
the city. Both these meu were
married. In probing the mystery
of their disappearance, reporters
discovered that Mrs. Livingston had
also sty: teriously disappeared from
the Laclede Hotel, where she had
heeu living. It was soon discover-
ed that the trio were together 011 a
fishing excursion, it was said in the
vicinity of Hastings, Ill., sixty-five
utiles up the river. The discovery
led to two divorce snits, both M rs.
Finney and \1rs. Ilnuecke leaving
their husbands. Shortly afterward,
1)r. Finney returned to the city and
was followed a week later by the
others. The two hien denied that
they had done any wrong ; insisted
that they lied been on a business
trip, but %vote pledged to secrecy as
to its character, Since that tapir
whispors of a ulystelious character
have been heard, and the whole
fairy story is t:ow told.
It seems that after the July esca-
pade Mrs. Livingston returned to
the city and told a few confidential
friends a long and ser.sational story
to the effect that while engaged in
charity work in St. Louis she had
befriended Mrs. Dey, an old lady,
who in gratitude told her that be-
fore the war the mint at New
Orleans had been robbed ; that her
husband had been concerned in the
affair ; that the treasure, nearly
$10,000,000 worth of gold bullion,
had boon secreted in a cave near
Ilaetings, I11. Mrs. Livingston had
made all arrangements for getting
this immense treasure and taking it
to Deaver to bo smelted, in ordi r
to destroy the government stamp.
She said she had found the cavo
while on her trip with Finney and
Htinecke, and had actually seen the
treasure. This story with variations,
elaborating the romance and de-
tailing the difliculties, the woman
had told peo,plo, induced many of
them to go into her scheme. Froin
one person she is said to have gotten
$1,400; from another, $500 ; from
another, $400; from many others
S111118 ranging from $50 to $200. It
was reported last week that she had
actually begun the removal by
stealth of the vast treasure, and she
left her boarding house saying she
was going to Denver. It was since
discovered that she is still in the
city , that she and Dr. Finney aro
having a high old time in the north
end of town, while her dupes are
waiting to hear from Denver. Be-
sides money, she has worked many
people for clothes, and in other
ways.

A PREACHER'S FRAUD.
The Rev. John Jones was an undoubted
success. His uptown church was crowded
Sunday after Sunday with au appreciative
congregation. So much did people desire to
hear him and bathe in the flood of his elo-
quence that it became necessary to auction
the eittings, for which there were a1w,ys the
most spirited bidding. Like all phenomenal
parsons, his most earnest and enthusiastic
admirers were to be found in the emotional
881.
Though the reverend gentleman was en-
dowed by nature with lofty statue, an excel-
lent voice and a good delivery, he was uafta-
tunately not prolific in ideas. He di. -e . ed
this early in his career. He had tried . , ; . ly
to write Itis own sermons, but had 'Mall . I i rt.
