PINE NOTCH, N. J March JO.-The
prent boneless res rlddlo has been of
ficially solved and the solution stored
away In the archives of the Pino Notch
Board of Poultry Trade. This great
centre of egg culture breathes n palpitat
ing Blgh of relief that Is, so far ns tho
boneless egg riddle Is concerned.
Another vexatious lltllo matter has
arisen to harass the chairman of the
Hard Questions Committee of the Board
of Poultry Trade, but of that more anon.
Let Us first to bat with the boneless egg
riddle.
It happened, as tho world must know by
now, that Watson Malone, the well-known
Bala breeder of esthetic, game cocks
and split toe Langshams, touched off the
riddle by sending Newt Bull, chairman of
tho board and leading Pine Notch ex
ponent of a direct to the consumer trade

eggs, and It has likewise come to pass
that the same lntenstvo hen culturlst
solved tho rldule In the document ho nhlp
ped to Newt Bull and which was read
and voted on at n special closed session
of tho Board of Poultry Trade.
THE HISTOBIC MEETING.
Having theso Important facts In mind
let us come to the board meeting and
listen to Newt Bull's reading of the docu
ment In Issue. The sllenco was so tenso
In the board room when tho secretary
unfolded the manuscript that you could
hear Rodney Pulp's whiskers cracklo ns
ho gently stroked them with his horny
handB of toll. This Is what Newt Bull
read:
"Gentlemen of the Pino Notch Boaid of
Poultry Trade:
"Having had my attention called to
the fact that my order for two uozen
boneless eggs has perplexed and troubled
you, for the reason that there Is u wide
variance of opinion as to just what a
boneless egg Is or Isn't, I have decided to
turn myself loose and dscrlbe to you
just what a boneless egg Is or isn't, so
that you may finally record and specify,
as an ofliclnl finding of your board, just
what a boneless egg Is or isn't.
"Let us begin then with a positive con
clusion, or. In other words, let us pro
pound tho objective potentialities of a
boneless egg In a state of being. All mat
ter either Is or Isn't, so as a primary
premise let us begin with Is. I will de
scribe clearly then what a boneless egg
is, upon the assumption of Its being
which predicates a. state of life, though
not necessarily strong chemical action.
THE RIDDLE SOLVED.
"A boneless egg then (following this
simple line of reasoning) Is an egg which
has not begun to construct Its bone
fabric. All the bone In a boneless egg
Is on the outside, just as we Imagine
la the case with the construction of our
heads. An omelet Is a boneless egg hosh,
Inasmuch as wo have to throw away
the shells. An egg by Itself Is utterly
boneless during Its Infancy. Some scien
tists say you may detect the wishbone in
a nine-day esg by use of the X-ray.
"It Is not necessary for a boneless egg
to be replete with bones to put It In the
catagory of eggs that are In tho nega
tive class of boneless eggs. A boneless
tee Is not a boneless egg only when It
qualifies the essential fact of a mellow
unclouded fluid yoke. You may reach a
certainty of the negative fact by follow
ing an Intensive method of candling, or
If you wish to work the problem out In
algebra you need only throw away the
egg and allow 'X' to represent Its prob
lematical equivalent. Here you have the
crux of the whole thing, and I trust that
my careful elucidations are of certain
value to the board, and will aid It in
Us further commercial transactions." ,
A TENSE MOMENT.
Newt Bull was perspiring freely when
he finished reading; so was his father
and the Bull twins. No one spoke, but
all were breathing hard. Zedeklah Bull
was breathing so hard that his windpipe
whistled a little, and he was compelled
to remove his lower tier of teeth to facili
tate respiration.
Ho seemed on the point of Jumping up
and exclaiming vehemently when his son.
Newt, forstalled him, and said with fierce
and compelling determination:
"Let us accept this dooument as a
complete total an' overlastln' settlement
o" the boneless-egg specifications for this
board o" trade, an' let us further have
copies made o' this document to mall to
all customers sendln' In orders for bone
less eggs. That'd save us sayln' another
word onto the subject. All them as Is In
favo- of this resolution raise their right
hands."
Every right hand In the assemblage
Vent up. Zedeklah Bull seemed too feeble
or too distraught or something to raise
nis right hand, but the twins lifted It for
him.
The session was about to adjourn when
Rodney Pulp let go of his whiskers and
naked sharply;
"In that there document. Newt Bull, the
feller mentions the left side o' an estr.
Which "
But the chairman and secretary of the
Hard Questions Committee out him short,
and, declared the meeting "adjourned
Without day." But as Rodney Pulp filed
out there was what you might nlmout
call a wicked look In his eyes, so that
the. apprehension Is growing that he Is
going to start something even worse than
the boneless-egg riddle.
